Looking for an Easy-to-Make Portfolio?

Or even just any website you'd like to publish, in general? Check out www.weebly.com. Kudos to these guys - they've really made the job so much easier for us tech noobz.

Web Creation made easy as taking candy from a baby

I created a simple portfolio in a matter of hours! The interface is really simple to use, and most of the free functions are sufficient for the average user. Awesome stuff!

Asian is the New Western

...and thank God for that!

I must say, the West really dropped the ball. Suddenly, everywhere in Singapore you see Korean fashion and music, Japanese food, China goods etc. Asian pride TTM, yo!

Today is dedicated to Asians, from an Asian who's proud to be one. So we may be shorter and smaller, but God is fair.

<3

Yummmmmmm

Yeah, China can "re-create" a whole Apple store. Wadup.

Who Deserves More?

While I was at Neon Tree's concert last night, thanks to Fever Avenue (which was quite awesome, btw), I noticed something that startled me. When the crowd began to raise their hands to some of the hit songs, I was struck by how similar it was (so it seemed, to me) to the excited youth congregation in worship at their various churches.

Crowd going wild at Neon Trees concert

But this isn't going to be a rant on true worship.

I was immediately reminded of our own youth congregation in my church. We're not the expressive sort. Raising hands or kneeling on the ground was reserved for events where the Spirit Himself comes so strongly that everyone has no choice but to do so. (believe me, I've felt that)

But I wondered: If we could accord our favorite pop stars or celebrities such honor, why do we hesitate to do so for our great God? Obviously He deserves far, far more. Shouldn't we be as extravagant in our worship, and accord all the glory to Him as He deserves?

I've learnt something new last night. Thank You.

How Awesome is Holga

Just saw this online (I think I'm outdated) and what an amazing idea this is! If I could find one in Singapore I would snatch it up immediately. Making Holga, Diana and Lomo photos instant was a stroke of brilliance. Check out the Holga Instant Back:

I would love to have one of these to attach to my current Holga:

Doesn't it look so sad and lonely?

Please let me know where I can find this. I'll pay you.

Edit

I've made more space at my blog posts area so my photos look nicer. Check them out!

And the greatest of all these is

And the greatest of all these is Love

And the greatest of all these is Love.

It took me a long time to truly accept and come to terms with the true meaning of love. Our Lord demonstrated this perfectly with his one perfect act of love on the Cross. Not once did He ask for anything in return. Point: Love is always and irrevocably for the other party, and not for yourself. I don't hug that I might be hugged back, but I hug to demonstrate and pass on that measure of love to the other party.

It's hard to accept though. Hollywood is the greatest culprit in propagating the mainstream romance we see on movie and TV screens. Do not be fooled. Love is so much more, and so much less.

Heat, oh heat, why

Singapore weather really, really leaves much to be desired. As I type this, I sweat, despite having a fan blasting moderately warm air at me from about 20cm away. No, I do not have an air-con in my room.

I need this:

Bladeless Fan - Spiffy.

Or this:

Water cooling fan - how cool is that?

Or I could simply move to a country where the climate is less erratic.

Spirals up, spirals down

Entered this photograph for the Noise Photography Competition! Some publicity for our church too, heh.

Oh, be nice, go there and say something nice about my photograph too :)

Three Things I Wanted To Be As A Boy

1) Professional Basketball Player

Those were the days of the legendary Michael Jordan: The man who could defy the very laws of gravity. I owned a small basketball hoop which I hung at a comfortable height on my door, and proceeded to re-create those vanilla dreams (together with my own commentary on my own incredible play). Sticking my tongue out, I destroyed all rival teams with ease. Of course, I played the sport outside in real life, in my school's basketball team, but it was never as fun.

2) Policeman

The cool men of the night. Running after bad boys, beating them up, throwing them into prison, telling the media about the treacherous and dangerous chase. Being the cowboy of the town. All in a day's work.

3) Professional Musician / Rock Star

Long flowing mane. Fingers that flowed freely over the fretboard. Riffs and melodies that make girls swoon and guys rock out. And finally, jumping into the crowd at the end of the show and body-surfing over the crowd of adoring fans. Signing autographs after the show. Yes, I had my own private concerts in my bedroom and bathroom, and my stuffed toys adored me.

Now? All but obscure dreams. Reality is such a bummer.

Feet Off The Path

Somewhere along the way, we wander off the path. 

Goals (that I probably will never reach, but it's always good to have some)

For this coming semester:

1) Academic - pull up my CAP

2) God - hit consistent and meaningful Quiet Time time, and journal that down

3) Writing - read up more on writing techniques (which I will do as part of NM2220, actually) to improve my writing ability, and source for more good stuff for Fever Avenue

4) People - spend more quality time with special people around me, intentionally

5) Fitness - endeavor to exercise at least 3 times a week (cardio + gym in any order)

Oh, that is such a tall order.

Feveravenue

Some of you know I write for Feveravenue - for those who don't, now you do! I think really exciting things are happening there, and I'm quite hyped up about it! Had a meeting with lady boss today and it seems we're really going places.

Do support by checking us out (especially the all-new, spick and span and revamped Entertainment column where I write at!).

Things I won't forget

Almost forgot about this - beautiful.

Worry me not

It's almost impossible not to worry. Yet worry stems from our own tendency to make our own plans - which always have a chance of failing.

Trust in God's plan, and there's 0% chance of that failing. Satisfaction guaranteed.
