Just mixed this piece of Christian art, inspired by the song “Tear Down The Walls” by Hillsong United.

Hope to share the love of Christ as demonstrated through photography, typography and other visual means.

Hopefully one day they will be called to be needed and exhibited

May God bless you (:

I make them look pretty.

People ask what do i do? I make things look pretty. That’s pretty much layman’s term of what I do. Let me show you some of the sidekick stuff i took on work during the past 2 weeks. All are scenes of Singapore.

Excitement and gender are inclusive.

Who says only women can scream? haha! Absolutely love this commercial. Although I am not much of a beer fan. Excited men FTW!

Love this video. This is the kinda stuff that i actually go through!!! So all you out there who thinks that my moolah drops from the sky, it is totally untrue. Haha, but to be fair, God is good, I never have to encounter such clients. I always believe that you will get for what you pay.

Inspiration through the beats.

My new found favs! DJ chus and DJ cabellos. 2 Madridistas. Amazing stuff for design creation. Brings me the grooves and the beats to good art direction. Beginning to like these stuff. Playing it from my Bose speakers make the experience pretty real.

Well that is for the execution. To draw inspiration, I listen to such sounds. Amazing new song from Hillsong United called “Tear down the walls”. The lyrics are just so real. Everytime when they sing “I don’t need to see it to believe it”, it just strengthens my faith. I totally recommend their new album. Very fresh and anointed songs, immediately sets the tone for the day. It was also the number 1 album on itunes.com! I really think that Hillsong Church is so anointed in P&W and the creative arts. Pray they will come to us soon and not to somewhere else! Lyrics after the jump.

VERSE 1:
Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this

PRE CHORUS:
And I dont need to see it to believe it
I dont need to see it to believe it
Cause I cant shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

VERSE 2:
Look to the skies hope arise
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real

PRE CHORUS 2:
Cause I dont need to see it to believe it
I dont need to see it to believe it
Cause I cant shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart

CHORUS:
This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
Its all for You

CHORUS 2:
Your Name is glorious
Glorious
Your love is changing us
Calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth
As all creation returns to You

BRIDGE:
Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You

Your first.

“Go back to the first love”. His presence never fails to overcome the senses when am I mildly reminded about that. The Song of Solomon BS is amazing, I can feel Him all over us, the first love experience that you had with Him. As I was sending the easties home after supper, the song Look To You played on my cd player. I shared with them this song is so special to me because it is the first song I jumped to in church! I can still recall the joy. It was probably my 4th weekend. And is still remember the first service I came to, it was June 19 2005, and I never left since. I can still recall the people, and the clothes that some people wore! I definitely remember what I wore, a ripcurl white colour shirt with jeans. I remember alot of people shaked my hands, and the first church person I was introduced to was Amoz, who welcomed me and LK at the church side gate. We had a west coast photohunt and bbq after service, which i thoroughly enjoyed. (Don’t think less of such events!). As we were on the bus home, Don spoke to me, asked me for my number, and invited me back. That probably sealed it. And of course, the strategic first phone call i received on a thursday night on the bus traveling on upper serangoon road. Attended the very first cell group at Joce’s house, in the room which is the fitness room now and the rest leads up to today.

Why do i remember these events so clearly? Let me first declare that i am really proud of such memories. I really believe that these firsts are so special and significant in our lives. They are so important. Anytime i feel down, i will just go back to God’s first love, how his undying love covered me, picked me up from sin and shame, and bam, I am back even stronger. Exactly what i felt tonight. I know it will work for you too.

The bible says not to neglect the days of humble beginnings. Treat your firsts like treasures in your heart. You never know when you will need to open the box up to remind you where you have came from and where you have come. (:

I have learned to love to give, because I get much more in return when i see them get blessed (:

You have blessed me with so much, thank you, thank you Lord.

His love is so simple. Simply beautiful (:

And he shall find rest.

Just finished one of the biggest rebranding projects so far, worked till early into the hours. Thank God for his provision! Loved the experience, meeting people, actually engaging and doing something. This is internship for me man, doing the real thing, in the real world, on your own. Thank you God.

And oh yeah! I am 23 already. Never actually had the freedom of the mind to celebrate it due to all the work, but well, it was a great great one still. Thank you all that wished me you certainly made my day (: I really appreciate it, I thank God for all of you.

Went back to SOT this wednesday, and the meeting with Dr Niko was really refreshing! It can be really be so simple and fulfilling. SOT was great, gonna study Romans with more intent now. It is the key to your walk.

And let me share with you the tune that’s been with me the past week and soothes all stress

I really regret not learning the piano. Can someone teach me? I want to play this one day. Postcards from far away at the end, at 4:00min. I love this.

One more point.

This is what I love about holidays, I can wake up at 11am, meet clients at 3pm, design till 6pm, dinner with no time limit, design till 1am, watch movie till 3am, watch football till 5am, and finish off my movie till the rising of the sun. This is holiday! So blessed that I can do what I love to do and not slave it out in the offices. One more point to be crowned champions yet again! Maybe I will go down and buy my first United jersey yet.

Summer Holidays!

The examinations has finally ended! I am so thrilled with it, I have put in the most work out of the 4 semesters so far, I can only pray that it will come out good. Thank you for those who have been praying, I really appreciate it. What an exciting 3 months ahead! There are so much things to do. Thank God no 8-6 mundanity for me. I hope so.

On a random note, the weather is so hot every single day. And the latest trend is thunderstorms in middle of the night. Exciting times. I love the sound of hard rain smashing into my bedside windows with air conditioning. Make me think I that I am somewhere nearer the north pole. No wonder even Mas Selamat wants to escape from these harsh conditions. That poor guy finally got caught aye? and he was caught in Johor of all places. You mean it took him almost a year to cross the causeway? And I am amazed by the swiftness of the Singapore press, not for the reporting (even though Mas was caught in April), but the swiftness in claiming credit. The 2 titles in The Straits Times all claim that Mas was caught with the HELP OF SINGAPORE INTELLIGENCE, and even boasted that Mas was caught twice because of us. You know why he got caught twice? Not once?

Because you guys let him run.

So instead of praising how our intelligence were superior and the main factor behind his capture, please use more space to thank the Malaysian authorities who did the catching for you instead.
