Time to update

Its time to update my life!! As usual when I got carried away with school work, church, fencing, aikido and others ( are there?), blogging becomes a treat.
So here i am happily blogging. Life has been good- as busy as bee and as blur as sotong ( thats not the reason for not eating sotong).
Sometimes being busy, rushing around is good. It makes you forget things... You all know how much I love Dolly, but these days I didnt feel the " oh I miss you so much~". Its only when I saw her msn nick that reads: "loneliness back in spore.. how?" This phrase just hits me like a bolt of lightning. Oh ya.. deep in my heart I miss her. Gradually all the fond memories started to flood into my brain. Will I ever have another friend like her? hmm... I will treasure you forever!

Its 8 more days to Ben's wedding! *whistle. So exciting!! We, consonance, are going to sing. There is a song which is really touching.. Sing to the tune of The Water Is Wide (switch on your speaker)

When Love is Found

When love is found and hope comes home,
Sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
Praise God and share our Maker’s joy.

When love is torn and trust betrayed,
Pray strength to love till torments fade,
Till lovers keep no score of wrong
But hear through pain love’s Easter song.

Praise God for love, praise God for life,
In age or youth, in calm or strife,
Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed
Through death and life in broken bread.

Aikido trainings become tougher.. or is it because I am now a blue belt? anyway... I start having bruishes on my hands *cry. Last semester I had bruishes on my thighs and it was solved by wearing breeches this semester. But I cant wear gloves for aikido... arh.. I shall become tougher.

The photo shoot

Our latest assignment: Create a series of not-more-than 10 pictures to narrate a story. I wanted to base my story on these two biblical verses:
" Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever" - 1 Corinthians 9:24-25

So I need a model to do these:
1. Getting ready for a run i.e. warming up
2. He is preparing himself on the track
3. Set himself on the mark, eyes focus on the finishing line
4. Burst into energy
5. The adrenaline when he is running
6. How is he is running i.e. on his own lane and the distance he cover
7. The emotions upon reaching the finishing line
8. He reaches the finishing line
9. The relief/happiness when he knows he has done his best and finished the race

Guess what!? The usual camera-shy Terrance aka ah pek, willing to be the model! Cool~ Thank God for him. I will be shooting on friday. Hopefully the weather will be fine and I can get very good pictures (that capture all the essences) as soon as possible to save him from running a few rounds though I believed it would be a breeze for him since he is a triatlete.
