Video Shoot

SG went to Irving's place to shoot the men's conference promotion video.


Very impressed by the amount of equipment & the overall setup at his place. Photos are very professional too! Check out www.irvingkwokphotography.com. Seems like a good secondary source of income for him =)

Only One Broken Key

Reference: http://actscom.com/

Evxn though my typxwritxr is an old modxl, it works
quitx wxll xxcxpt for onx of the kxys. I havx many
timxs wishxd that it workxd pxrfxctly.

It is trux that thxrx arx forty-onx kxys that function
wxll xnough, but just onx kxy not working makxs thx
diffxrxncx.

Somxtimxs it sxxms to mx that our church is somxthing
likx my typxwritxr--not all thx kxy pxoplx arx working
propxrly.

As onx of thxm, you may say to yoursxlf, "Wxll, I am
only onx pxrson, I don't makx or brxak thx church."

But it doxs makx a big diffxrxncx, bxcausx a church,
to bx xffxctivx, nxxds thx activx participation of
xvxry pxrson.

So, thx nxxt timx your xfforts arx not nxxdxd vxry
much, rxmxmbxr my typxwritxr and say to yoursxlf, "I
am a kxy pxrson in thx congrxgation and I am nxxdxd
vxry much."

This is what happxns to thx wholx church, and multiply
this by many timxs--thx wholx thing just doxs not makx
sxnsx!2 

So don't be a broken key--be a useful one.

==========================
"For as the body [the Church] is one and has many
members, but all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body ... And if one member suffers, all
the members suffer with it; or if one member is
honored, all the members rejoice with it." 1 Corinthians 12:12, 26

Mary vs Martha

SG nearing the end of a very busy semester. Not only full of teaching (both internal & external courses), also lots of projects.

Worse, there is no end in site. "No way to be full time in a few things.", "It will get worse.", "It's all about time management.", etc... lots advice from colleagues.

SG just yearn for days of being Mary, that he can take things slow & reflect more. In fact, he heard about a survey being done in USA among people who are old and dying, and the top 3 things they hope to do differently are (a)take more risks, (b)reflect more & (c)do more things that will last after they are gone.

Of cos, having a little baby & subject to her needs/'moods' (e.g. last few nights keep waking up 2-3am for no reason & refuse to calm down) is not easy. But, hey, she is growing stronger with each passing day!! See for yourself =)







Ultimately, like what Solomon says, "everything is meaningless, unless ..."

The Love Dare (from the moview Fireproof)

SG just watched the DVD Fireproof (). Very good. Inspired but the book used in the movie called The Love Dare:

What am I worthed...

SG was frustrated at work recently. A series of events. Including lots of deadlines & knowing that some of these do not really make a difference to people's lives.

Then he remembered what a leader mentioned, "Don't let others determine your worth; your worth is determined by Christ."

How true! SG decided not to b e tied down by work & others' expectations.



Anyway, here are some photos of Isabelle over the past few months. How fast she grow!
