Life, Travel, GRACE

And so it's coming to 31 Dec 2007. Step into new year of 2008. What am I supposed to do about it? Live a life worthy for the glory or God. Been trusting God for small and big things. And He is faithful. Well, sometimes didn't know why it happened that way. Then you knew it was not too bad. Five things I trusted Him this year. I had my master degree completed. Got a new job, though might be opting for a new one. Having a blessed wedding preparation. Planned for a new research topic (finally found a bit idea but no details yet). For God's ministry to flourish. Some small things that happened: I found back the parking card after left lying wide open for a day; the repairment of laptop with no hassle. Some things that didn't happen as I wished: delayed hand over of the new house; did so little on the new research topic. The LORD has been good as an overseer of my finance - just enough for the things here and there. "Thank God because he's good, because his love nev

The developer supposed to hand over the house key this month. Looks like it's gonna postponed to next month. So we may need to "squat" somewhere before moving in .

Some of you may have received this invitation card through email. Friends of us who have not received it will get it soon. The card was designed as a postcard. Hope this will give a fresh look to normal and mundane wedding card. The front cover was a composite layer between the studio shot and the tea plantation (Cameron Highlands to be exact). Thanks to Adobe Photoshop and some plugins that enable us to create the big picture effect. The next work will be video presentation.

Look, here's the little drummer boy. Oh, it's not so little. It's a giant drummer boy. He was a poor boy. No gift to bring to present to the King. So he played his drum for the King. He played his best. And He smiled at him. What's your gift for Him then? He has given his one and only Son.

We selected 36 photos (5 of which reluctantly) from about 300+ pre-wedding photos we've taken two months ago. Here's a snapshot of 25 of them. Personally, I feel the effect was not up to my standard. As a result, I gave it "C" for the overall work.

So how do you know what's the legacy of other people? By observing, you can know some. We were in one of the cafe recently. As it is school holiday, families will come out to have a good time spent with their children. The cafe has free flow of drinks (only after you buy a paper cup), sugar, creamer and tissue. There was one uncle came to the drink counter and grabbed a thick bundle of tissue (about 2 inches) and went back to his table. Thought he would passed it to his family, but stuffed into the shopping bag instead. So what do you think? The kids observe.

We have been talking about legacy during the bible study discussion and daily conversation. We have little idea about this concept until we studied More Than Money. What is the legacy that we, as an individual, a family member, a worker, a servant and a citizen ought to be? You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 There were 3 things Paul left behind as his legacy: holy, righteous and blameless. These were his characters. Sounds difficult for me to attain these..... Paul also left behind his relationship: encouraging, comforting and urging of others to live lives worthy of God. Have we done these? We suppose to encourage one another on daily basis, and all the more as the Day is approaching. For what is our ho

Initially, the venue was in The Navigators' office. When people heard about it, they dropped their jaw to their disbelief. Is that place really that bad? So the couple looked for other alternatives. They surveyed the church where CS and Lydia had their wedding. Space was almost equivalent with the Nav's hall. Then they checked out Tropicana Golf Resort. The place was really good but they were upset with the 4 pillars in the center. Remember Alex and Susan's wedding? They had it there. Not long later, the couple decided to have it at their new apartment's pool side . That should be cool. But need to arrange for catering and PA system. When inquiry was made to the management staff, she received non-professional treatment. So it was disappointing. The couple then checked out SD club, where Mr and Mrs Paul Lai had their wedding there. The pool was ok but the canopy rental was expensive. Imaging to have 3 canopies for one grand. The function room looked ok though. They had a
