This is the beauty of living near the seaside. When you feel like running away from all the troubles of living and find solitude in the God's peace and really enjoy His creation, you can do it anytime. During weekdays, the beach is quiet and clean. Teluk Batik used to be where I hang out at night with friends but I think it is not safe to hang out there at night. Evenings and mornings are safer and it is then that I found the it's beauty at its best. Sunrise can be viewed from another side of this medium sized seaside town of Sitiawan. I think Sitiawan is a perfect place to stay...

Canon 40D recording video!!!

Have you seen a Canon 40D recording video? Take a look here ... pretty cool. I dare not try it on my camera because it needs to be hacked.

Cameron

2008-09-20T04:26:00.000-07:00

Catherine and I were at Cameron Highlands early this month as part of our retreat to explore beautiful places in Malaysia. It was a day trip. Basically, we were there to revisit the place after a lapse of many years since MYF camp days. So, we took this chance to enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

Singing for the Lord

2008-08-31T20:45:00.000-07:00

Here are some of the pictures from the 6 nights of evangelistic concert that was held over a period of a week. Sadly, I couldn't attend the nights at Pangkor and Taiping as I was tied up with work. Nonetheless, 3 nights at Alor Setar, Sitiawan and Penang was already very satisfying. Some times, we can be so held up with work and all sort of other worldly matters. We tend to forget our Father's business. Indeed I was so touch by Juby's testimony (her family's) that it moved me to tears knowing how much she and her late husband love the Lord. They knew what it meant to trust in the Lord and believing Him for miracles in life.

Her husband was a famous song composer, composing songs for various singers in the likes of Ah Mei and Wang Li Hom...and many others. All in all, he wrote 500 hit songs over 3 decades. But the Lord took him home last year while leaving behind a legacy of testimonies to be shared with people who are lost and out of love.

Kang Qiao is no stranger in Malaysia. Seeing him singing for the Lord is already a testimony.

The Lord is doing great things in the lives of celebrities in the chinese community across Asia. When he raises icons like these to sing and evangelise for Him, He will be glorified.

Waves of Revival

2008-08-26T08:20:00.000-07:00

The power of God can create the universe
The love of God can save everyone
The grace of God is always sufficient
The forgiveness of God is never ending

His forgiveness is over those who receive
His grace is freely given to all
His love sets the heart free
His power brings forth miracle

Our God is such an awesome God. The many lives of Christians with very distinct backgrounds which have been transformed by His love, grace and power are powerful living testimonies. Some of those, still in their infancy as Christians are already giants in the community. Impacting and bringing about transformation through the only Good News they know are the two best things they know how to do.

Only a week has passed and I am already swept off my feet by the powerful testimonies I've been listening to. Kang Qiao has his testimony echoing throughout the country since his salvation last year. However, the one that impacted me most was Juby's testimony (in fact it should be her family's testimony). God's hand is clearly moving. His hands are holding her family together, by His grace. Many were moved to tears. As for me, I shed tears of joy. I pray and really hope God will continue to use them (Juby, Kristine, Matilda, Joshua and Isabella) and the many celebrities (including Kang Qiao) to shake the nations to fulfill the Great Commission. God indeed is moving...Ride the waves of revival.

p.s. Look out for this space as pictures of the Evangelical Concert by Kang Qiao & Juby will be displayed within this week.

Easter Evangelistic Concert

2008-03-24T21:48:00.000-07:00

The just concluded Easter Evangelistic Concert held at the Pioneer Memorial Hall, Kg. Koh was a hit. The hall was packed to the brim. Here are some pictures taken using both 17-85mm IS USM and 135mm f2 L lens (beautiful). Flash was from a 580EX. Minor editing. Enjoy.

2008-03-20T02:26:00.000-07:00

Some shots taken during a season of reflecting on life and its purpose. I was in deep frustration and stress, not sure if it had reached depression, and it was during this time that I found peace in God's creation. The beauty of sunsets and the priceless opportunity of being born and bred in this little town of Sitiawan has captivated my heart. I might not want to move away from this place. My heart is here...to stay.

2007-07-14T23:55:00.000-07:00

I went to Bukit Tinggi's Bejaya Colmar Tropicale Resort for a one day trip with my colleagues recently. I was disappointed with Bejaya's maintenance of the place and so on and so forth. It sucks la. But anyway, here are some pictures of swans that I manage to capture after roaming around aimlessly. The resort is only the size of Subang Parade. I prefer the Japanese Garden better although it still didn't live up to my expectation of a resort.

Singapore Revisited

2007-05-01T05:21:00.000-07:00

This time around, I journeyed to Singapore alone to meet up with my uncles and aunts. I only spend the weekend there but it was worth the jam and distance. Not too far actually, so remove the distance factor. Singapore's weather last week was kinder to me. I didn't sweat as much. Probably due to my uncle fetching me around. I miss the feeling of cold air blowing into my face from the air conditioner. Enjoy the pictures that I've posted.

Lastly, definitely not the least...food. My close friends know this is one of my passions. I enjoyed the suffering of eating this huge bugger oopps! I mean burger, the oversize onion rings and the humongous Coke.

Komanwel Cell Group retreat to Sitiawan was good. Moments of laughter shared were as beautiful as you the visualisation of the flower. If more could come, then again, we had fun. Sorry that you have missed out on the fun and the food.

Andre@Singapore

2007-02-06T20:48:00.000-08:00

Long overdue post. Andre is a French fine dining restaurant owned by my uncle in Singapore. To be exact, it is located along Teluk Ayer Road. It is very near Tanjong Pagar MRT gate G. I apologise for the lack of food pictures as they are left in Singapore. I'll post them after CNY. And I don't know why my words are underlined.

I was at Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands for the whole week of last week. I had a great time with the youths of Wesley Sitiawan. I woke at 0630 to catch the sunrise but the sun only rose at 0715. It was great enjoying the cool weather while having great fun with the campers. Check my flickr album

Sempena Bulan Ramadan

2006-10-19T10:58:00.000-07:00

The fasting month is coming to an end. Soon all Muslims world wide would celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri. I was told that the reason for them to fast was to remember those who are less fortunate. The breaking of fast normally starts around 7pm. I headed to the nearest Buka Puasa Food Stalls in Sitiawan to take some pictures of the people and food while I savour some of the food. Well, not in front of them. Enjoy this series. More to come...on other topics.

Unity lost in time...

2006-10-12T10:16:00.000-07:00

Gone were the days where we could all live together, understanding each one, accepting and celebrating the differences in our lives. Is it a distant dream? Is it just a fading hope? Are we losing our identity as Malaysians?

T.H.E Carnival

2006-10-01T09:48:00.000-07:00

A little sneak peek at the T.H.E Carnival held at DUMC's compound over the final weekend of September. This post will highlight some non-human related pictures. Do enjoy them as I continue to edit the rest. I had a great time scrapping my knees, gulping Peach Ribena, eating Kajang Satay, shouting free Ribena, entertained by High School Muscial wannabes and not forgetting getting a face paint.I always love ang ku kueh...yummy...especially Nyonya

There would be parts 2, 3 and so on that will showcase some other pictures that I think are nice. Editing was done very minimally because I'm lazy to do those super cool effects. Also, I only know some. Enjoy these 3 first while I edit the rest and post them up in the next few days.

It has been a long time since I had my usual breakfast that I would always have every Saturday back in Sitiawan. I'm contemplating to move to Sitiawan to work. Still thinking...Dad's business needs someone to take over.

Pasar Malam

2006-06-01T02:53:00.000-07:00

I met up with some old friends for dinner. Though that pasar malam would be a better choice since it was pasar malam night. Anyway, if you are wondering why are the pictures so noisy, thats because they were taken at ISO800 and some not very well focused because I had to set the shutter speed very low and had to take it quickly. Well, enough of the excuses from an amateur photographer. Afterall, incora imparo!

This is my beloved sister. Before my other family members ask me where are theirs, I better make it clear. Yours will soon be uploaded once I have them. My sister, many say we look alike. Some say I look like a male version, some say she looks like the female version. No matter what she will always be my sister that I love lots and appreciate alot. I hope to see her achieve more than I have. Errr...what did I ever achieved except those football medals?

Nature

2006-05-22T11:06:00.000-07:00

My sister tells everyone that I take pictures of flowers and grass. But I can't deny, and neither can anyone, that beauty is manifested in these creations. The bittergourd flower (top) tells me of the bitterness of life but yet its beauty is in the overcoming of life's challenges. The "dragon fruit" flower, to me symbolises life itself. The thorns that grow on its cactus like plant is like the petty problems in life but at the end of it all is hidden a huge flower waiting to bloom. What a trumendous sight. What a awesome experience and the result-joy and perfection.

Images

2006-05-22T10:59:00.000-07:00

I guess sometimes life seems slanted, unfair. Sometimes our life seems like a reflection of others more influencial. Sometimes life seems distance from the real picture. Beneath every image lies a soul that yearns to make living meaningful. Searching shouldn't end in vain. It should be joy that results from searching.

Memories

2006-05-22T10:38:00.000-07:00

These pictures of the sun set were taken and edited a little (contrast and resize). Somehow that day, the sky was blue instead of the usual orangy colour. That's my grandpa's (maternal) house now belonging to my uncle's family. Grandpa passed away early last year. Didn't had the chance to hear him say goodbye. I manage to pray for him an hour before he left for a better place. He was and will always be a great man I adore. His patience, wisdom and knowledge has always challenged me to live life to the fullest as he did to a good old age of 85. A man who spoke the Queen's english, a good friend of Robert Kwok, infact to many, a cheerful and generous man with patience second to none. In loving memory.
