It’s nice looking at old pictures once in a while. It makes us wish we could slow down time and shows us how much we’ve grown and changed. Some pictures can even bring a smile to us as it brings us back to the past through all those memories that we may have forgotten for a while. I saw a few pictures of me when I was young when cleaning my drawer and I’ve decided to scan it into the computer. It’s hard to believe that I’m already 18 this year. It makes me realize that time flies.
I wanna share this video because it carries a wonderful message to all of us. A pastor shared this video in my church a few weeks ago. It’s really inspiring and motivating, so I hope you’ll enjoy the video. Do comment, please. =)
Went to Lang Tengah, Terengganu with family together with Beatrice and her family last Friday and was back on Sunday. We stayed at a resort called D’Coconut Lagoon and here’s what we did throughout the trip.
Thursday (17th June) – College ends at 6.30pm. Went home and pack up for the trip. Left Penang with 2 cars late at night, and reached Terengganu in the morning.
Friday (18th June) – Took a boat to Lang Tengah. The ride is about one hour. Reached Lang Tengah in the afternoon. Went snorkeling in the evening and played Monopoly with Beatrice together with her younger sister, Selene during the night.
Saturday (19th June) – Went hiking around the island in the morning, played UNO with Beatrice and Selene for a short while after lunch, went swimming in the evening, and played Scrabble with dad together Beatrice and her family at night. more…
In this post, I would like to talk about a book which I like and personally thinks people should read it. As you can see from the topic above, the title of this book is “Do Hard Things : A teenage rebellion against low expectations” and is written by Alex and Brett Harris.
This book is very motivating and it kinda challenges you to go further in life. It’s about having faith in God and stepping out from your comfort zone to do hard things. It’s not only suitable for teenagers, but I think it is also suitable for parents, young adults, church leaders and even pastors. Watch the video to know more about the book.
From the bible (NIV) : 1 Timothy 4:12 – Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. more…
This term, there are more subjects for us to study. One of the additional subject is Photography. Dad bought me a DSLR camera (Nikon D90) and my lecturer, Mac Tan would take us outing during Photography lesson for us to take some shots. Today, we went to Chowrasta Market to take some documentary pictures. It’s the 1st time I experience using DSLR camera to take pictures. Here are the pictures taken just now and for those who have not been to Penang, this is how Penang market looks like.
On the way to the market. It’s just a few minutes walk from college. =)
Last Tuesday (13th April 2010), Mr Melvin, our Drawing lecturer took us to Esplanade to draw. It’s a little different than drawing in class because there were so many people passing by trying to take a look on our drawing. But it’s an interesting experience. At least we don’t have to draw in class all the time. That would be boring. I hope we can get to draw more outside of the classroom.
Wow!! Time do pass by fast. Just a blink of an eye and it’s already February! I know my last update was in January. Well, here are some updates on what’s going on.
- College is still great! Had my 1st assignment to do and it’s due on week 8, which is next 3 weeks. For 2D and Colour Studies, we are required to make a carrier (to put things inside. For example, a bag, a box…etc…). For Drawing class, we need to draw a pile of oranges and also a handkerchief. And for Computer Studies, we need to design a milk carton.
- Followed my dad to PECC (Penang E-Community Club) last 2 Friday and helped out by guiding the senior citizen on using Facebook. Bernice was the teacher and the volunteers including me were there to help. I’m gonna teach them about blogging soon! (^.^) more…
Time pass by so fast as it is now the middle of January 2010 and I’m in college!! How awesome is that?! Wondering which college and course I chose? Well, I’m studying at Equator Academy of Arts doing Graphics & Multimedia Design. At first, I never thought that I would choose this course and that I would be interested in it. It just came to me. I guess God had answer my prayers on which direction to go after high school. Thank God for that because I’m loving it there!!
This course doesn’t require any books which means I don’t have to study or memorize anything. It only requires creativity. There’s no exams to stress myself and definitely no “last minute studies”. Marks will be given in every work I’ve done in the class and will be added up at the end of the term as my exam grade. Cool huh?? Now there are only 3 subjects to learn because the course will only begin in March. So for the January intake students, we are now learning the basic. For example, subjects like Drawing by Mr. Melvin Arlegui, 2D and colour studies by Mr. Chris Choo and Computer studies by Mr. Collin Teng. I never like drawing and painting because I’m not good at it but after attending these classes, I’m starting to like it. In fact, I enjoy every lessons of every classes. more…
Year 2009 is history and here comes year 2010. Everything happens in a blink of an eye. I guess time really do pass by fast and waits for no one. So what do you think of year 2009? Had it been a great year for you? Or had it been the worst year for you?
Well, I don’t know about you but year 2009 had been an amazing year for me. In fact, it was beyond amazing. The feeling is so great that I don’t even know how to describe it. 2009 was the most amazing year for me compared to the previous years. I’ve learned so many new things. more…
Since it’s a long holidays, dad arrange golf lessons for my brother and me at the Bukit Jambul Country Club. Both of us have been junior golf members there for some time but so far we have been only using the pool. It would really be a waste to the golf membership if we don’t know how to play golf.
Our first lesson started on Tuesday (15/12/09) and the coach was Mr SS Goon. It was kinda fun but very tiring. Mr Goon taught us about the position and also how to swing. When I reached home, my whole body started to ache and is still aching a little now. But overall, it was not bad. It’s really fun when you manage to hit the balls. Once we know how to play, we are planning to start golfing with my dad in the morning now that schooling is over for me. He has stopped playing golf for a few years as he has no golf kaki to play with him in the morning when all his friends are working. Once we know how to play, we will then be his golf kaki.
