We all have dreams and goals in life, I often wonder why some of mine dreams don't come true in reality, no matter how hard I try, even with all support from everyone around me. It was only after listening to a church service by Pastor Kong conducted at City Harvest Expo that I realized that those dreams that did not come true for me were dreams that did not fit with God's will.

Private fashion show at Envie De Pois located in Orchard ION. As the models were walking among the crowd, certain spots there was poor lighting as such some shots weren't as promising but overall I am quite satisfied with my first photoshoot with my Canon Powershot SX1 IS camera, looking forward to next year's spring summer collection. They have 2 more outlets at Orchard Paragon. Full size pictures can be found on my facebook album.

Attended Cara's wedding dinner at Fullerton hotel. Met up with many ex classmates who suffered together with me during my 3 years of pursuing my marketing degree. Glad that Marcus and Kenneth from my study group could both be there else I would be very lonely at the dinner. Love the cascading staircase of the ballroom which none other hotels ballroom seems to be able to offer. Of all the beautiful crafted dishes on the menu, my favorite is of course the foie gras which was also my first time tasting it and the taste is really like love at first taste. There were free flow of alcohol which was a pleasant suprise but didn't had too much to drink as after the wedding dinner I still had to meet up friends for more drinks at a posh club in town.

I am feeling happy as I finally bought myself an awesome camera that is by far the best and easiest to use camera I own so far. It's a Canon Powershot SX1 IS which has a build in Cmos senor (Only found in DSLR), full HD, video functionality and 20x zoom which is pretty impressive. I am officially taking up photography as a hobby and have been invited to shoot at a private fashion show at Orchard Ion on 20th November 2009, unfortunately I won't be allow to upload those pictures as it's a commercial shoot. Being an amateur photographer, my very first shot is displayed below. First shot my subject is focus on a flower in the foreground and background blur. I am glad that this camera has a build in anti-shake function as well, it's a life saver ! I would highly recommend this model for beginners who wants to take up photography but does not want to go through the hassle of mastering a DSLR. Here are a few shots of my new camera sitting happily in the dry box in my bedroom.

Visited Republic Polytechnic to have a small gathering with some ex colleagues from Office of Information Services (OIS) department. It's been awhile since I last visited them and I am glad I manage to find some pockets of free time to make a trip down. I am glad that operations are going smoothly and everyone is doing well. It was a great reunion and opportunity to catch up with lost time. Special thanks to Deputy IT Director Hon Kong for the invitation. He has always been an inspiration and mentor to me. Xiaoying has also been a role model as I had worked with her for close to 4 years in the past as she watched me progress in my IT career to where I am today. I am grateful to have met them and all the wonderful team members of OIS department.

Day I'm Saved
To His Kingdom I have returned
Fallen into His warm embrace
Never in life have I felt this much love
Besides mine ears I heard His whisper
You have been waited upon all these years
Heaven opens and light shines forth
Angels rejoicing in heaven realms
His presence was closer than my very breath
Tears of joy flows down these pair of familiar eyes
I lost Him once, I will never lost Him again


The Mask
My face wears the mask of a happy guy
My mask boasts of a perfect world
I wear a mask before my face
It denies my lonely days
My mask will never live to say
How I hide myself in each day
In hope that if I make the score
I might feel I am worth a little more
My perfect world is but a haze


Brokenness
As I lay on sand as soft as snow
Glittering stars reflection in watery eyes
Oceans gush as waves break shores
Warm sea breeze brushes against my face
Sweet scent of rose petals filled the air
Last year this day I was yours
In your loving arms I once belonged
Countless happy memories we once shared
Shattered like glass smashing concrete walls
Wounds may heal but scars remains
Constantly reminds the daunting past
All things must end as all begins


First Date
At the beach where eyes first met
Under the stars born their first kiss
Sweet rosy lips meets blush pink cheeks
Cupid's arrows pierced cross two hearts
A seed of love was planted that faithful night
Through the years such patience grew
Came forth the day found love so true
His smile alone warms her heart within
In her magical presence he's completely lost
Immerse in each other, both loses track of time
Heart beats race as affection grows
Just like an addiction where the drug is love


Romance
Sliding my fingers through her silky hair
Our eyes interlock and smiles exchanged
Even if this whole world stops spinning
I will always be here to catch her if she falls
I'm sure someone stole the stars from the sky
And place them into her eyes that's why they glitters
Love the way the moonlight bounces off her hair
That sweet innocent smile from her never fails
To melt both my heart and the sugar in my coffee cup
She's incredibly sweet beneath the part of her that's not


Childhood Days
Walking slowly down memory lane
Admiring tree houses we once climb
Remains of kites that we flew so high
Catching fishes with tender bare hands
Carving our initials on sandy beaches
Dropping water bombs from floors so high
Breaking rules which we should have kept
Digging playgrounds to make sand filled traps
Miss those carefree days when we had no worries
When passing exams was our only goal in life
