The next few days that followed was just following up with a single kid’s salvation for 3 mornings. All worth it. Hope his parents do bring him over!

Next week I believe there are about 3 unsaved in my group. Shall use every opportunity to present the gospel and challenge the rest of us lazy churchgoers to more than just existing as members. Also to push for greater congruency in the various facets of our lives by genuinely conforming to the mind of Christ. Wah. so cheem. haha.. but it just means that we have to be genuine and not live double lives.

Just had a family gathering over mid-autumn festival and it was quite a crowded affair. Really loud and all. That was after I came from a whole day in church.. starting with FBI then a pretty long study/tuition session where I finished my assignment and gave Evan tuition at the same time. I hope that I’ll be able to bring this boy and his family to Christ one step at a time. Time is of the essence.. and the days of a person’s youth and innocence are so few and numbered. The end of innocence is usually the phenomenon of suddenly “growing up” and coming into your own. Forming your own identity. Hopefully that Identity can be one with Christ! Something undesirable when a person’s spiritual vision is clouded by all the wickedness experienced in the world.

Over the next week I hope to catch up with my FYP. I’ve completely neglected it. I don’t want to do poorly this round, I can’t take another failure. Anyway, here are some photos from the past few days. I really had quite a blast over my birthday. Quite intense, silly, quiet and enjoyable all at the same time.

I kinda can’t remember everything that’s happening in my life, its moving soooo fast its all a complete blur now. I also feel less inclined to word out my thoughts. Something I’ve grow to be terribly lazy at. I’d like to be able to look back at what’s happened and smile about it though. haha.. So I shall endevour to keep a more complete record. Wow, we can all almost write our own biographies man.. haha..

I’ve just had the good idea of dividing my day’s tasks into 3. Morning, afternoon and evening. I stuck 3 “post-its” on my desktop and labelled them accordingly and put in tasks I intend to do during those hours. Well, it seems to be quite motivating and organized. I’ll do a physical one on my wall perhaps next time. Didn’t touch my FYP today, so dead. On the other hand I managed to take a picture or two with the camera and strobes. I kinda like it. I’m liking the idea of doing studio photography. Shall try with the Dog and perhaps hannah when I get my shoot thru umbrella and other accessories. Make a softbox when I’m free too (which doesn’t seem to be any time soon).

That’s all for now. Looking forward to another day tomorrow! Many ponderings about how relationships shift and change, about discipleship and how it almost never happens under that name in our culture.

Stuff to do

• Banners
• FYP
• Print TIP form

Abit hungry now. Everytime I open the fridge 4 rolls of portra film sit there waiting for me to use.. I shall! soon..

I stuck a sticker on my iPod. I gues.. there’s no turning back now.. hahaha..

Doulos is getting decomissioned in 2010 – true or not?

G9 LCD screen window – Fixed!

A car iPhone charger – Making.. fun!

Minolta Hi-matic E – In the drybox.. needs cleaning

Yashica Electro 35 GSN – In the drybox.. needs cleaning

TJ Alumni Band – Not playing anymore

Saw it in L33t. Doing tutorials. Wah, quite sleepy. Abit more pictures. haha..

But any techie knows that you’ll never be done waiting.

Why I should have waited another 4 months includes

• Dedicated exposure dial
• Wider lens
• Digic-4
• Cheaper at $500usd

Why I don’t feel bad buying a G9 on Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 at 9:05 pm includes

• Getting it reasonably cheaper ($430usd)
• having a great 3 months (one month with my bro) of G9 goodness
• The progress isn’t much on the G10
  • 14.7mp??? enough with the useless pixels! down with the noise!
  • In line with the previous point, larger sensor please..
  • wideness is quite slight at 28mm
  • looking at it, I’m sure the viewfinder still cannot make it

So there.. haha.. until someone does a really good hands on test nobody really knows much about it yet. It looks cool though.. thats only cos it looks like the G9. hahahhaa…

The Viewfinder

The Rangefinder

And the previous stuff like the lensmate and the Grip.
