The worst thing that can happen to you is when God start not to discipline you!

-Rev Ronnie Chin-

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light my strength my song

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled when strivings cease!

My Comforter my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone! - who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This Gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine -

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till he returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

Going back to campus was an emotional time for me personally. Yes you heard me say emotionally! It brought back memories some good and some not so good so to speak. But the amazing thing is that He turn it into something that works for his purpose for His people. Time just pass by so fast and people grow in the process! This kidoos, during their young age were really active but with the LOVE and care and God's grace on the family, they are now obedient (well as kids not all the time but still..)

This picture was one of the most touching onces that God allow me to capture it! I never notice how personal it become to me as I review my picture taken for the past week! Kiss composition and all the photography stuff goodbye!

On a different note, a friend told me "this you have to asked yourself!" when I told him working is not easy and I'm facing human issues. It just suddenly hit me that I'm too out spoken! Some people might like it but others, not into it! Well another stage has just started, may be will try golf! YES golf! Hahhaa...

I was asked to go back to KL to be posted there, and this time I'm not really sure what are the motive that the management have for me. The -ve may due to the way things are and feedbacks that are from me. But yet there are bright site of things where it is also a possibilities!

Lord please give me the wisdom and strength. I'm not sure where I'm at and some time I just really don't think you are able to handle this problem, but yet you created all things. Why can't I just trust you?

Let not my flash and body be the one who drives me but let your spirit empower me to greater hight to worship you!

Some thing is happening to me.. On Thursday, I just show middle finger to motorist when he honked at me! What is wrong with that? The reaction is so natural that I did't get the time to think and it just came out! It is like a subconscious motor reaction from my brain!

Something is surly wrong with me!

I went for futsal yesterday, I was so obsess and so rude and emotional non the less! Hay I know myself then and I'm really sure something is going wrong within me!

For this week, it was the most messiest week in my life! I dont know what am I working for as I dont find any purpose in doing things and it is draining me away..

Need to start from square one again!

I'm really frustrated with how the world conduct itself! My boss!! Just want to tell you that you are such a 2 face boss! Why everything I was being placed the blame with?

Going back because as to make the plant batter don't count? When i make a small mistake, does it consider that i fail all? Why cant you just look at the good things (in this case MORE!!)??

When I say, i'm wrong. When i silent, I'm wrong! Oh man! such a double standard!

Oh GOD, PLEASE HELP ME. Teach me to be like you to forgive and to have the heart of yours in such a situation! Do teach me LORD!

Eminem : Love the Way You Lie

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn

Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry

Well that's alright because I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie"

Apart from the superb music, the lyric of this song give some powerful message regarding the the world we live in. Most of the time, when historian try to understand a civilization, whey will concentrate on the literature of that time. This song actually portrays all the broken relationship that is base on pure feelings and worldly logic which is sinking sand which will have no lasting value.

Some time we as Christians will jump into relationship just because we are so into it and never look to Him for guidance. It is true that one of human need is the urge of SEX, and that is even more that He intend SEX to be experience in its fullness.

Lets us Seek Him.

Hear us singing!!

“it has been some time now since I’ve blog…” are the common words that one will use after long time of not blogging!! I’ve use this line as well. I really miss writing down how I feel online, I guess I’ve lost few things after my real work started last January! Some of the stuff I miss are, photography, blogging and odd enough reading! The reality is that I've not manage my time well!

I’ve shifted to Johor Bahru to work as a project engineer in a sanitary landfill. Well just a short intro it is where all your rubbish will end up after the lorry pick up from your house! So you basically will get to see everyday household waste! Not speaking about the smell that comes from it!

The working world is something really different form my student days! So for those people who went through their industrial training, maybe you wont feel the full force of office politics and others as we are just student. But if you do, it’s a look into reality!

Reality is what we need to face every day in this fast changing world. But remember, noting is new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Reality to me is that I’ve to face my boss and the reality is that I must be sure with the decisions that I say and must be able to give a good reason to back it all up!

I’ve been facing reality and not every can take and suck it all up and I’m no exception! True is hard and often I felt like giving up! But I know where my strength come from, its not by my power or my might but it is by the spirit of the Lord! The joy of the Lord is my strength!

Praying for my fellow technicians and my managers are not a simple task. But if I, as a Christian give up on this people, how will they know true LOVE? Why God would not just take us away once we are save? The Reality is that we need to say die to self! But life to the spirit!

The reality is that Jesus Is Lord! You are forever! You are Lord over all!

Overcome

Verse 1

Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love

Destined to die, poured out for all mankind

God's only son perfect and spotless one

He never sinned, but suffered as if he did

Prechorus

All authority, every victo-ry is Yours

All authority, every victory is Yours

Chorus

Savior, worthy of honor and glory, worthy of all our praise, You overcame

Jesus, awesome in power forever, awesome and great is Your name, You overcame

Verse 2

Power in hand speaking the Father's plan

You're sending us out, light in this broken land

Bridge

We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb

And the word of our testimony, everyone overcome

Was a fun time... I know some of you would think that the Bible is a boring thing where we keep reading the same thing over and over again. But do you know the Bible is a breading and living?  

12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. 

Hebrews 4:12-13 (New Living Translation) 

Anyway 2 things that I’ve learn from this is that… 

1) The Bible or you might say that Christianity is the only faith that displays the failure and the success of God’s chosen people. 

2) Like Jonah, when God gives us warning there can be 2 things that God is telling us. First is that, is where we are going into dangerous territory. Second, He is giving us the chance to turn back from our mistake.

All in all... We had fun. As for the campus that is known for its lateness. USM KKJ CF is one of the campuses that arrive the latest!

Last Saturday, Lye Kong, Jason Tay, Siew Siew , Tze Teng and me went down to Penang Island to do two things. The first is to support Lye Kong and Jason Tay in representing Jaya in SUKAT. While the other is to go purcase the Canon Speedlite 580 EX 2 for Tze Teng’s system!

We head out around 7am and we were at the USM main campus’ swimming pool around 8am.. We took some picture here and there!! We had some photography fun then..

The teeth belong to Siew Siew!!

After that we hed out to Komtar area to hunt for the 580ex2. After a long scout, we manage to find the flash system at Foto EasyCam beside Click N’ Snap. We had a good chat with the uncle and aunty there and I’ve learn a few trick or so!

After we got the flash, there was no hesitation is using it! Tze Teng was playing with it even as we took our late lunch. After that we went to Gurny to try out some ETTL system stuff!! The result was, it rocks!!

First try out with the High Flash Sync function

First try with the ETTL function and High speed sync to pull out the back ground but yet allow enough light for the subject using a slave flash. Master flash did not fire..

Nicer tone and shadow!

Still Learning..

Tze Teng, Jason Tay, Me, Siew Siew, Lye Kong

On the following day, me and Tze Teng took the afternoon to try out this new dimension of flash photography! The picture that we got was not as good as those of the lighting expert such as Louis Pang and others… Most of the picture was taken by Tze Teng and I was the slave man!! Hahah… But it is a good start I guess! A Master and a frind, Tze Teng in action!!

After much trial and error.. Thank God for those hardships.. Now we Bring you this.. Hear are some basic step to set up this flash photography..

Get the metering of the back ground. My exposure compensation setting is -1 here (using M mode). to get more dramatic effects of the back ground just tone down to -2. Varies to the lighting.

Put in the subject into the picture (without the slave flash firing). subject will be dark.

Now, with the Slave flash fired! note that the master did not fire. see the different??

Too close to the flash.. Cause over expose on the subject.

Pull back the subject to get a balance lighting..

Playing with shadows..

So hope this helps you guys who is learning out there. Thank God for all his wisdom and also Little Potato for letting me spend time on this.. Thank you dear! Hug hug..

*Do share out your knowledge. If one is stingy to share the knowledge one has... One is very selfish.

May all glory to God alone!! Amen!!
