#26 *From Windez to Elisha* The Resurrection!

...Of my external hard drive. Or rather, the content inside it

Because most of my files got corrupted and certain disk sectors were (irreparably) damaged.

Thankfully, Yan Xiang (a brother who used to be in RP) had his friend recover the files for me. I have now recovered my most treasured files; my personal poem cache and my (video) cache, the one of which I treasure the most is a music video I did for the Ultraman Mebius movie! >_<

That particular file is so important to me because it was done in the span of 3-4hours in the middle of the morning at the Binary Fission camp just after I had gone through an especially trying time (Jovin broke his arm then and I was feeling down). The most miraculous of miracles was that every single part fell into place as if they were meant to be.

Which is to say it isn't my work, but God's. At every step I laid the video track down to correspond with the vision of the completed piece in my mind to match the music, I almost did not have to think. Because it was as if the music was composed for the video.

And we (fellow video editors) all know what a bother audio tracks can be in making or breaking a particular video.

And now I have my magnum opus back in my safekeeping. I feel awesome. Mwahahaha.

Who's Elisha, you may ask; The answer? Windez is Elisha. Before & after.

#25 You Guys Rock!

To Chun Kwee, Emily & Jaslyn

I'm excited and amazed by how you guys all stay up so late to get to know each other more! It really is refreshing.

Matthew 18:3 And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

And so like humble little children you are. I'm impressed and gladdened.

Now, little children, don't sleep to late okay? =P

#24 Looking Out

Double post.

I'm looking for a leader but I don't see one in sight. You don't get more lost than this.

Angry and frustrated.

Yes I am.

Come on, speak to me someone. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me where I'm wrong. Otherwise I'll keep thinking I'm right till its too late.

God...

*Edit* Should I keep it all inside and blow up or should I say it out and prepare to "contain the consequences"?

#23 After All The (Perceived) Magical Atmosphere & Glitter

I'm back to Earth. Seriously.

And once again I'm at a loss of meaningful words. Could just be the alcohol still in my system, or a chronic thing.

I'm finding myself being more and more affected by what is said around me, try as I might to encourage others.

Honestly, I'm feeling the pinch. The pinch of needing more teachings, more impartation and less empty talk. No one can go on an empty tank. No one should go on an empty tank.

Had a nice talk with Jeff yesterday; we went over to Stephen's chalet; he invited us. It's a pity I could only attend so late; nevertheless I had a fun and rewarding experience; me getting to know Stephen's cousin Derrick and having him share his life story (part of it) in 2 hours of solid heart-to-heart talk as well as hearing from Jeff the Christmas miracle that has forever changed his perspectives. And seeing a different side of Stephen, one of the caring older cousin.

The happenings made me look around myself and try to forsee what comes next if everything is kept status quo. The sight I saw didn't excite me.

Why? Because I didn't see:
Courage
Unity
Impartation
Faith
Humility
Trust
Love
Hope

I saw:
Gossip
Cliques
Self-given direction
Dependence
Opinionated decision-making
Responsibility-driven goals

Nothing of which reminded me remotely of God's love.

And I'm looking at the friends around me who care and I'm thinking. What in the world is wrong with us?

I can't go on with this masquerade. We turn back to Him, or we slide into oblivion. There is no third choice.

#22 Christmas

Boo! My phone decide to do a *out of battery* on me during the Christmas Countdown. I responded by trying (and failing) to get it to mass message Christmas greetings.

I'm hungry. Haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning before napping at 4am. Reached home and stoned in front of the computer till 1pm before realising that I should be sleeping. Slept, woke, slept and voila! I missed the day of Christmas.

RPians! You who were missed during the Christmas countdown:
Timothy Alvin
Elaine
Heng Yu
Pearline (technically not an RP/ex-RP student)
Sharon
Yan Xiang

As for the rest, I think we had a great time at the Countdown Party!

And we've made a new friend in Rina, a resident of East Coast (one of the flats there, not at the park!) who we met in a rather out-of-the-ordinary fashion and who joined us for the Christmas Countdown. It really is God's plan; how He showed us not to look at the outside and into the heart of people.

Looks like it's getting really exciting in here.
