Missions Conference.


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
huanyan+sweeleong. (this has got to be their handsomest pic i've ever posted. =X)

Went for missions conference today.
Realised i can't consider church-planting in the next few years.
Cuz i'm deep in debt.
Sigh.

But missions conference today reminded me once again how tiny Sinagapore is. How we should never be contented with what outreaching within Singapore, but should always have a burden for people overseas, and think globally.

I've always admired church-planters. Humble yet noble people they are. To give up their comfortable lifestyles, to adapt to a totally different culture, to be spiritually independent yet totally dependent on God.


I am so utterly humbled when i see their sacrifices and the work they've done.


The last part of the conference was to commission Eelee for Chile. Ps Dinah led the whole church into prayer for her. And i teared. I think many others did too. All whom her life has impacted. At the end of the prayer, Ps Dinah shared a prophetic verse for Eelee. And i teared even more, because i feel that this verse is really apt. Eelee, i pray that you'll cling on to this verse tightly throughout your Chile trip. And as God continue to mold you, may He also bless all the works of your hands.


Romans 12:11-12
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.


Eelee's Farewell Part II

Yes, it is Eelee's farewell part II. But I believe she has gone through many many farewell sessions already. haha. This time round, it's with members of my first cg! How nostalgic is that! Haha. That was like... 7-8 years ago for me, and longer still for others, cuz i'm the youngest! hahahhaha. I'M THE YOUNGEST. (SIA STOP CALLING ME AUNTIE OKAY? lol.) Okay, anyway, we went to My Secret Garden.

talk. laugh. talk.

this is what i ate.
Crayfish and Scallop Spaghetti in tomato sauce.

The food's pretty good. Cuz i ordered the right thing. LOL. And the Triple Choc MELTS once it touches your tongue. Heard the steak's okay only. But the ambience is fantastic. It's like those kind where couples go and whisper sweet nothings. Feels guilty that we laughed so loudly. Hee.

It's really heartwarming to see us gather together after so many years. Some of us left church and came back. All of us went on to serve in different ministries, as leaders, as musicians, in tertiary and in adults. Yet the fundamentals remained the same, to love God and to love people.

Growing old with you guys. I'm enjoying it thus far.
Can't wait to see us get married one by one. ;P

May 30, 2007
TIME FOR ME TO STOP.

I AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE........ I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE A 2 YEAR BREAK FROM THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS, I WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO ENJOYED MY MUSIC AND MY VOICE, TRULY FROM MY HEART I AM THANKFUL. AS FOR THE FUTURE, I DONT KNOW WHERE I'LL BE, WHAT I'LL DO, BUT I DO KNOW ITS THAT I WILL REMEMBER THE TIMES WE SHARED TOGETHER. DO TAKE CARE OF EACHOTHER AND ALWAYS REMEMBER " LOVE AND PEACE " ... ha ha ha joking la...


Congrats gary, you've just been crowned the JOKER OF THE YEAR. You might even wanna consider being the Joker in Batman. Okay, that's not funny.



Farewell for Eelee.

Eelee's flying.
Off to Chile on Saturday night.
For two whole years of church planting.

When i first heard the news, i was quite surprised. Cuz she had been talking about it all along, and HEY, now she's really going church planting! The second thought that came to my mind is "Eelee 长大了。" Not that i'm older than her. But really, she has grown alot over the years that i know of her. She has always been a role model for me. Am really glad that now she's taking this step of faith to venture out of her comfort zone, to do something she's convicted about, and to impact lives beyond the shores of Singapore.

It's a nudge for me personally.
I got to spur myself on towards more growth.
Holy discontentment.

Okay, anyway, there we were, in Siam Kitchen, Hougang Mall. Eelee, daniel, debbie, junhuang and me. The food's pretty good.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

And we had some time of catching up and sharing. Somehow, whenever we gather like this, the main topic always seems to revolve around courtship and marriage, and whether we've spotted any potential partners. lol. When it comes to courtship and stuff like that, i'm really leaving it all to God. Just focus on building friendships and when time comes, i pray everything will fall into place. Okay, we talked about Eelee's mission and Junhuang's job too.

Tommorrow's part II of Eelee's farewell. LOL. More good food. hee. OH, and thanks junhuang for treating us today! =D
someone asked.
why can't you just combine everything into one entry?
and not so many entries in one day?

i replied.
HEY. IT'S MY BLOG LEH!



LOL. No lah... i blog as and when i feel like. Somemore different posts talking about different things mah. hor. So dun complain le hor. Guai... LOL.


Okay lah. Enough crapping. Went to watch Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End with a bunch of people. Hahha. Too many le, lazy to list out.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I didn't watch Pirates 1, only watched Pirates 2. Stepped into the cinema with a certain anticipation. For my dear johnny and for tons of laughter. But, was quite disappointed with Pirates 3. Firstly, the plot was suspiciously non-existent, making it draggy. Secondly, it wasn't as funny as Pirates 2. ALTHOUGH dear johnny did a fantastic job, as usual. Jack the monkey is very funny too! hahhahha.

At the end of the movie, after the credits, there's a pathetically short scene of Will and Elizabeth. It's so short that i regretted waiting for ~10mins of rolling credits just for that few seconds. Wait if you have lots of time to spare.

because i so have nothing better to do.

You Are a Pinky

You are fiercely independent, and possibly downright weird.
A great communicator, you can get along with almost anyone.
You are kind and sympathetic. You support all your friends - and love them for who they are.

You get along well with: The Ring Finger

Stay away from: The Thumb


"fiercely independent and possibly downright weird." LOL.

What is your purpose for living?



Jasmine asked last saturday during sermon.
I asked jiankai last saturday before dinner.
I asked sia and dxx yesterday over coupons.

And I first asked myself this question when i was in sec 1.
sia says i 早熟。
haha. probably.

But i guess this is one question we all have to ask ourselves sooner or later.


What is your purpose for living?



We are all born into this world.
Not by choice.
Perhaps it's our parents', maybe it's an 'accident'
Or is everything pre-ordained?
Or is it like what jiankai says, we all evolve from one cell?


We eat, we study, we work, we get married.
We have kids, we grow old, we become sick and we all die.


100 years down the road, who remembers us?
What do we leave behind after we die?
Or are we all victims of a cruel game,
in which we play along only to realise that at the end of everything, the cards are reshuffled and everything starts all over again?
Or like sia says, we she live because we're she's afraid to die? *!!*



So, do you have an answer to this question?
I'm in no position to criticize your answer.
It's your life, your choice.
But whatever your answer is, it better be worthwhile to live for.

Afterall, life is one long tough journey.

i have checked my results. =) satisfied. cap improved. and i got my FIRST b+ for chinese and english modules. yippee~! i guess changing my study method DOES help. =D



but i got U for microbes, environment and man. LOL.
there's just too much to memorize. ahhhHHH~


anyways. i found my usb cable. or rather, my mum found it for me. dunno where she found it, but since it's found, i shall rant no further. case closed.



updates!
Unicamp.
feel really refreshed after the unicamp. it's like a getaway from all worries and hassles of daily-living, and just immerse myself in God's presence, His word, and the fellowship of His people. VERY REFRESHING.

Among the many things that i've learnt through the camp, one of which i wanna share about is the Moses' Challenge. The Moses' Challenge was when we were led to walk around pasir ris beach in circles WITH OUR BARANG BARANG, just like the Israelites when they left Egypt for the promised land. During this long walk, we were also faced with many challenges that tested our unity and patience.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Through this, i caught a tiny glimpse of how the Israelites felt during those 40 years in the desert. And i've always thought of the Israelites as a bunch of complaining people. Imagine walking around EVERY DAY for FORTY YEARS!

After chatting with sweeleong today, i found out that the planning committee has planned for the challenges to be seemingly impossible to arouse the sense of frustration, and that rules were left vague so as to invoke creativity and unity. Really thank God for the camp committee, they had to act as the devil throughout the whole challenge... 难为他们了。



Some funny pics from the camp...

God bless everybody. =)
back!


i just woke up. after sleeping for around eight hours in the afternoon. lol.

then i wanted to transfer my pics. but couldn't find my usb cable. so i had to transfer everything via BLUETOOTH. how slow and ridiculous.

想说的是。我真的讨厌别人动我的东西然后把它们收在我找不到的地方。烦死了。
然后我的喉咙很痛。又一直咳嗽咳嗽咳嗽。很累,很烦。



(过了几个小时……)
本来想update的心情都没了。因为翻了半个家还找不到我的usb cable。
我是死也要找到它。还有我的hp charger。



等你回来。找你谈判去。

my 4th post for today.
what does it mean?


Is it that you are working - or even playing - too hard? Because it would seem that you are experiencing a great deal of pent-up emotion at this time which could possibly take effect and lead to irrational behaviour.

Most people are conditioned by their environment and you are no exception. You are an extremely emotional person - so much so that 'the wrong word' can lead you to tears. You feel other people's pain. You feel the need of sympathetic relationships and a pleasant work environment in order to develop and grow. You are an impulsive, loving individual with a great deal of inherent feeling.

You wear your heart on your sleeve and since you are an emotional person you are apt to give your all - heart and soul - to all those that show you a little affection; but take care - it would appear that you have been extremely hurt in the past and you keep leaving yourself wide open for punishment.

Nobody seems to understand you at this moment for everything you suggest or do seems to be taken up the wrong way. All of this misunderstanding is leading to anxiety and stress. The situation naturally is not as you would like it to be - you feel that you are being treated most unfairly and that trust, affection and understanding are being withheld from you and that you are being treated with a demeaning lack of consideration. You consider yourself being denied the appreciation essential to your well being and self-esteem and that there is nothing you can do about it. You feel that whatever you try to do to change the situation, you are getting nowhere fast. You would really like to get away from it all but can't find the energy or the strength of mind to make the necessary decision.

The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are beyond your capabilities, or your reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal inadequacy. Your inability to take control of the situation causes you to over-react in stubborn defiance blaming everyone but yourself for your own failures.

why am i so excited about what i'm studying only now when i'm going on year 3?!
We had a farewell for Christine and Edwin yesterday at Sakura Intl Buffet.

=D Really wanna appreciate them for all they've done in the NUS ministry.
Edwin is a faithful brother who is constantly stepping out of his comfort zone to serve despite his fear of public speaking. Christine has taken up the challenge to rise up as a CL last semester, to take care of us, and has seemingly pitless patience and a ever-so-sweet and encouraging spirit.

Though this meal may have burnt quite a hole in some of our pockets, it's worth it because we really wanna appreciate them and give them the best. =)

And they're our king and queen for the day!

最近心情算是好的吧。
虽然真的花了很多钱。
又是settlers' cafe,又是鼎泰丰,
又是kbox,又是sakura buffet……

接下来呢,
还有uni camp,还有aston's,
还有cafe del mar,还有gfc chalet。


虽然没钱,但真的不是很想找工作。
工作很累的。也会浪费很多时间。
我想学的东西很多很多。怎么办?



然后《天使忌妒的生活》没上榜

忙。

你很忙吗?


觉得啊,身边的每一个人都越来越忙了。
做工的、读书的、甚至是在放假的……
每个人都越来越忙了。


可是……
是真的在忙吗?


还是,只是摆了个“忙”牌
扮成一副很忙很忙的感觉
但事实上,只是因为太自我
不想别人打扰。


还是,真的有一大堆有的没的
毫不吝啬地霸占着书桌
各个拼了命地喊着你的名字
而你,无头绪地忙着,连听鸟鸣、闻花香、
采浮云的时间都没有
忙,又是为了什么呢?


有几个人
能大声地宣布自己已找到了生命的方向
而且也在努力地奋斗着
为自己的理想打拼着
过着幸福充实的人生?




忙,似乎成了现代人生产力的一种衡量。
员工不忙,他就在偷懒。
学生不忙,他就不用功。
假期不忙,他就是无所事事的寄身虫。


可是,说实在的
真的有那么多书读吗?
作工做的那么努力,死了后,就能的到奖赏吗?
人生短短。
把自己弄得那么忙,是为了什么啊?
说到来,你,又是为了什么而活呢?




还在摸索着为我拟定出的生命蓝图。
在我还未出世时,他就已知道我存在着的意义了。
虽然一路走来,真的很辛苦
不过,我坚信,他一定会陪伴在我的身边,陪我走完这段路的。


然后我们就能一起采浮云了。

PT1101E Lecture 2.



Levels.
Auto Contrast and Auto Levels sometimes clip highlights and shadows.
Levels is the manual version of these auto functions.
Image>Adjustments>Levels.
Shift the 2 side pointers to where the tone distribution first start and end.
The middle pointer adjusts the midtones without affecting the highlight or shadows.
Eyedroppers are for us to manually choose darkest/white/grey points. Eyedropper in grey point can be used for overall colour change.



Curves.
Image>Adjustments>Curves.
CLicking and dragging the line creates anchor points.
Pulling it up lightens the midtones, and dragging it down darkens the midtons.
Adding more anchor points creates more complex shapes.
Remove achor points by dragging them off the graph.



Until now, i still can't use curves well. It's takes practice, and it relies solely on what we see the on-screen preview. I guess i still don't trust myself very much.



Color Balance.
Image>Adjustments>Color Balance.
But usually I don't know what is it with the picture that I want to change.
Hence, Image>Adjustments>Variations.
I think this function is super cool. It allows previews of all changes possible, and you can adjust the level of fineness too. wow.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

某人's picture. edited it using variations. =X



Hue and Saturation.

Pretty self-explanatory.



Hmmm, let's end with something more interesting.


Paint and texture.

The sky, the beach and some sand.


Filter>Artistic, etc.
One of the first features I started playing around with. =)
Try to choose pictures with less detail, cuz much of which will be lost.
Some tips...
ONE: Lighten images for a more realistic watercolor.
TWO: Combine paint effects with texturizer. Filter>Texture>Texturizer.
THREE: Create an edge around the image. How? Hee. To be continued...

Tah-dah~!

Washed-out the image using levels. Apply watercolor. Texturize with canvas. Created an edge for more realism.

i've been procrastinating when it comes to doing a blog entry about it.
because it's quite a lot of work...

or so i think.


but THIS WON'T DO!!!
so i shall blog. about. ecp stayover 050507. yay.
(notice in all pics, you don't see me! cuz i'm the PHOTOGRAPHER!)

which reminds me.
i took photos using edwin's camera.
and i havent gotten them yet!
*nudges edwin*


anyways.
ecp stayover was about celebrating the END of exams and the START of hols. yippee.
it was really free and easy on the first night.
we played ostracize pig, polar bear, and daidee. *grins*


some famous lines...
EUGENE: Even if i'm a bear, i'm a harmless bear.
HANES: Wait, i got a theory. *blah blah blah for 10 mins...*


the next day was a series of games + lack of sleep syndrome.
first was untangle thyself, then dodgeball, and finally sandcastle-building competition.
and... the final winner is... the PROGRAMMING TEAM~!! wahhaha. so dots.
in the end, the programming team built the nicest sandcastle and beat the rest of us all. lol.
nevertheless, group ONE won untangle + dodgeball. so, yay~!


after the games, we toasted to a brand new life.
and the guys started a series of dumping-others-into-the-sea-is-so-fun game.

so marks the end of ecp050507.
yippee to hols once again.
Welcome to Photoshop 1101E, or also known as PT1101E.

the reasons for this:
1. for myself to keep a record of what i've learnt.
2. for all out there who wants to learn more about photoshop.



Okay. Brief introduction.
Learning photoshop's part of my to-do things for this holidays. And it's user-friendly. Which makes learning very productive and encouraging. The version I'm using is Adobe Photoshop CS2 9.0 I seriously can't remember how on earth it had itself landed here in my laptop. It's either my bro who installed it for me, or it came along with my k800i installation package. Either way, it's a good deal. The book I'm using now for guidance is called "the digital photographer's handbook". It's full of pictures, and offers step-by-step instructions. Goodie good. But it uses version 6.0 as reference. So there's a slight difference. The instructions here will strive to be as concise as possible, no further explanations whatsoever. So, here we go.



The Bare Essentials.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
This was my tutorial picture. One of my fav ecp pics.

ONE: To correct exposure.
Choose Image>Adjustments>Auto Contrast.
If there is also a color cast, choose Image>Adjustments>Auto Levels.

TWO: To sharpen image.
Choose Filter>Sharpen>Unsharpen Mask.
'Amount' :: changes the strength of sharpening. usually <120.>
'Radius' :: increases the contrast of edges, so picture appears more sharp. usually >10.
'Theshold' :: Defines how different two areas need to be to constitute an edge.


Cropping.
Is simple. Just click and drag.
But the effects...
ONE: Bring more focus unto the subject.
TWO: Create vertical/horizontal paranomic frame.
THREE: Straighten up skewed horizons, by cropping, rotating, and cropping again.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
At the end of tutorial.
What i did to it. First, Auto Levels to correct exposure. Then Unsharpen Mask. Then double-crop it to make the sea level level. haha.


Okay, this post is getting longer than i thought.
To end off.

The Fisheye Effect.
ONE: Choose a picture where the main subject is as near to the lens and to the centre of the frame as possible.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
GARY.

TWO: If picture is rectangular, crop it, or squash it into a square.
Choose Image>Image Size.
Uncheck 'Contrain Proportions' and change the longer dimension to match the shorter one.
THREE: Select the entire image and choose Filter>Distort>Spherize.
Set the amount to 100%, normal mode.
FOUR: Using Circular Marquee, make a circular selection of the spherized area.
Hold down the shift key to produce a perfect circle.
Right-click, choose Select Inverse.
Then drop Paint to paint the entire background black, except the spherized area.
FIVE: For the sense of realism, invert the selection again and use Filter>Render>Lens Flare.

话说很久很久以前……(虽然也没那么久,就只为好听罢)
有名创作家
一年内创作了差不多80+首歌,但是每一首歌都被推翻了。


“太不符合市场了。太洋化了。”


他们都是这么样对他说的。





这名创作家不只是会写歌,也很会唱歌。
可是,他不能出专辑,因为


“你太丑了。”


他一直一直都不被看好。


就这样 过了几年。
他也开始觉得自己是没用的。
整整两年,他不敢照镜子。
因为他怕看到了镜子中的自己,也会觉得自己丑。



(前话好像说太多了。进入正题吧。)


有一天,他遇见了她。
在某月某日某条街上的某家宠物店里。
就在那只猪的旁边。
瘦小。多病。双眸无神。
毫不犹豫地,他带走了她。


因为她需要他。



接下来的日子里,他尽心尽力地照顾她,喂她吃药,陪她玩,哄她开心。




她 病好了。
他 心情也好起来了。


才发现,不是她需要他,而是他需要她。



这已是过去事了。
故事中的男女主角,如今是幸福到~~~
她,还能常常去做spa呢。


梦想大直击,part 2.


这段里,MTV的某主持人访问了gary。gary家里的大小姐抢足了镜头哦。她,就是linlin啦。
最后,我想说的是,这只猫,也太幸福了吧!



我也要啦~!

去逛CD店时,试听了他的专辑。
很喜欢他的主打《爱爱爱》。


听起来,很熟悉。不懂在哪儿听过。

方大同,是个适合拍侧脸的人。
因为正面的他,看起来还真够怪的呢。

至于他的《If you leave me now》嘛,本小姐还是比较喜欢原唱的。哈。

Chicago -- If you leave me now.




唉~最近蛮多不错的CD推出,可是……偶没钱啦~!哼。

看了《盛夏光年》。

好久没一个人去看电影了。
但实在不能想象和朋友一起看两个男人裸露时的尴尬。
本想一大清早就去戏院的,但不自爱的眼睛,中午才舍得张开。


三点多的戏。
我和走道隔了个位。心想,应该没有人会想要买那个位吧。
谁想和陌生人看gay片啊?
结果呢,你们应该都猜到了。
不认识我的人,应该都会误会我身旁的男生是我的男友吧。-.-



害得我看电影、吃爆米花都觉得不自在。每咬一口都是小心翼翼地。



《盛夏》算是支艺术片吧。
其实呢,我喜欢看艺术片。
喜欢它缓慢的节奏,因为人生就是这样啊,谁能在两个半小时内出世,成长,结婚,生小孩啊。
也喜欢不需为身旁朋友会不会想吃我手中的爆米花而担心。


不过,和其他艺术片一样的是,戏中有许多我不明白的。
慧嘉和守恒在一起,是因为喜欢他,还是为了报复……还是只是因为寂寞?
那,守恒又为什么会想要和正行那个啊?他不是只把正行当好朋友吗?
而,他们三人之间的关系,究竟是啥啊?!
觉得,这些问题,想通了也好,想不通也罢。


因为有些事,是不需要太明白的。

觉得,康正行,长得有点像jason。SoC year1 那个。哈。
总之,喜欢看艺术片的,应该去看看这部片。
