Went for our final gown fitting 2 days back and on that evening, we walked down city link and to suntec and back, to look for white shoes
Not easy looking for a pair of white leather shoes which would be suitable for day wear other than being formal for wedding day.
I initially wanted to get a pair at everbest - which I've always favoured their leather shoes to be one of the most comfortable but there weren't much white selections.
And after much thought and walk, we decided on a pair of pedro.
For the price tag we paid for, well, I better make sure that I wear it more than once!
Was purchased with the intention for my suit solely, but the more I look at it, woooo - nice!

Here's some pics - My white shoes






And this arrived too, Audix OM5, got it off ebay at a steal
it's sort of a risk that I bought it without first trying and based solely on online reviews
but thank God, it sounded sweet!


With the mic clip and pouch


And here it is, audix OM5


And here, my first try at making a compensated saddle from a piece of camel bone blank
the below piece is the original uncut piece and the above has been sawn/filed/sandpapered extensively by yours truly


Fitted this first trail piece onto the church's old takamine, woots, more defined tone!
And I was pleasantly surprised that the density is quite similar to fossilised mammoth ivory (which cost like 5 times as much!)


And yes, it's been some time, mimi's grown up
Biting, sleeping in strange positions and stretching


He sure knows the comfortable spots


prowling position as I prepare to play catch with him
All eyes on the string ball! And yep, his mitten paws are still pearly white!


Holidays been pretty cool so far
Settled quite a fair bit for my new flat

And yes,
Ivy's gowns and my suit are ......
oh well, you will see ;-)

started off with a remix of "bittersweet symphony"
followed by three renditions of "Amazing grace"
One by Marty Sampson, one by Hillsong's choir, then followed by a Chris Tomlin and Jad Gilles duet

It's like watching a movie trailer! haha!
can't believe this is the opening to the Hillsong conference 2007
rather elaborate but really really creative bunch of ppl!

the earthquake in China really shook many and I am convinced that God is trying to say something to us

Even as I read the newspaper on reports on how many have tried to explain the recent events, one thing is very clear - God is God, His ways are higher

Curious, I am attempting to find more info about communism in China and how it relates to God's plans for the country
I stumbled on this article and it talks about how Christianity struggled to make an impact in China as it seems to the Chinese that they have to forsake their 5000 years of history to follow Christ

and this article cites this
"Evidently, to separate China and her 5000-year history from God's control is not the intention of the Bible. However, the notion of separation has produced obstacle after obstacle along the road to the spread of the gospel in China."

This made me think hard
as I relate this to my life
I think we need to constantly ask, "are we willing to give God the control?"

The very fact that we try so hard to maintain that control and self worth and by trying to justify the good and values of our actions, at times, may be the very thing that hinders us from the intimacy with God

when it becomes all about - us

Undoubtedly, a Chinese person who has become a Christian is still Chinese, but he is a newborn Chinese, a Chinese, who is enlightened about China's past, present and future in perspective and who has a new awareness of his new mission. Being such a Chinese, I should not, and dare not conceal what God has let me see. Except for the love and righteousness of God and His light of life, nothing in this world can disperse the shadow of hatred, bitterness and death, which has been overshadowing the Chinese people as long as three thousand years. This awareness, which surpasses all the principles of political factions and theological denominations, comes from the call of love from the Cross, the Cross produced by Pilate and the high priest.

This song touched me greatly. May this bless you too.



【仰望恩典】
诗集:赞美之泉-让爱走动,14

每一天,每一夜,
每一分钟,我仰望你的恩典,
患难时,在我喜乐时,
你双手领我进入你恩典,

主耶稣你宝血,
洗净我一切的罪孽,
为我死,为我而流泪,
赐给我无尽的恩典。

我能有什么给你啊,能报答你付的代价,
每当我定睛你十架,眼泪不禁潸然地落下,
我的心不要忘记啊,他鞭伤换来新的生命啊,
从此不再忧伤,不再挣扎,
在耶稣怀里我有平安自由、希望。
