tjc nafiri choir

is here in Singapore till thursday, and also at http://picasaweb.google.com/johnyuzx91/NafiriCombinedChoirFellowship till google shuts down. Of course, these are but noob pictures that I have taken with my humble D80 and outdoor lenses. In the face of a real, professional photographer sitting on the 3rd row, all I can do is cower and fear and hide at the back. The ominous aura of protographer is too overwhelming... dont dare to 班门弄斧also... Well, at least i got to try out my new phottix cleon wireless remote (except the part where you can trigger up to 100m away) and i guess it aint that bad after all.

thank God also for guiding me through my eng lit and econs P2 papers today. Mugging for lit "feels so cramped up and smothery, but not" when lit is over. "You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable" when lit is over. And then only will you have that "wise, quizzical, thousand-fold smile" on your face when you reach nirvana and hopefully get >4 points. Phew

Aaargh, the prospect of getting a D90 with excellent noise control at high ISOs and more accurate colour balance, and 5 min VIDEOs just gets more tempting... BUT, my resolve shall prevail!!

Btw, recommend any gamers who are free out there to try out Atlantica Online OB at http://atlantica.ndoorsgames.com/. Quite a nice game with cool graphics, imagine granado espada + final fantasy's turn-based combat system combined together to form the newest genre of mmorpg gameplay. Whoaa. Go try it, and join server Thebes so we can party and pwn stuff together =) (oh and when u can choose the starting town to begin at, choose the 3rd one)

stunned

by anime and game soundtracks. seriously, i think they are like the best music in the world (even more so after experiencing and appreciating them in games/animes) and should have a genre of their own... Kudos to all the talented Jap composers for creating such serenic masterpieces and keep those pieces coming!! yuphoria music playlist will adhere to these tracks only!!


by the new Casio Exilim EX-FH20 compact camera. Boasting a 9.1MP CMOS sensor, 20x zoom range (26-520mm equivalent) and 1280 x 720 HD movie function, it is one more tough competitor added to the contestable market of compact cameras. And of course the penultimate feature of this ordinary looking camera : able to fire at 1000 FPS. Yes, 1000, one thousand, 一千, seribu, frames per second. In simpler english english, thats the shutter of the camera (the click sound u hear after pressing the button is the shutter opening and closing to record da picture) firing 1000 times in 1 second. Thats like 0.001s per picture. Whoa, im sure my brain cant even think as fast as that. With this, you can obviously record stuff that your naked eye cant even make out, like bullets oscillating as they are fired... and stuff.. see, even my brain cant make out what it can capture. Of course there are definitely drawbacks la, but still, Casio marks the dawn of the new age of high speed shooting...

by the most thrilling, exciting, jaw-dropping, intense, award winning, trademarking, highly anticipated game of the PS3 system : GoW III. YES, Kratos is coming back yet again with an even greater vengeance, even greater plot and even greater CGs.

"God of War explains, or ultimately will explain, why there are no more Greek myths." -- David Jaffe

With that single quote, David Jaffe, the big-fella behind the series (who has since moved on), has set the pace for God of War 3. This will the penultimate entry in the series; the game that holds nothing back and sets Kratos against the greatest foes under the direst of circumstances.

So why will there be no more Greek myths? Because Kratos will ultimately bring down mighty destruction upon the remaining gods, wiping them out one-by-one. Eventually, he must confront and defeat Zeus, the ruler of the gods. Kratos himself sets the scene in the a pivotal scene in God of War II, while this is reinforced in the teaser trailer. Kratos mimicks Zeus's threats and turns them against the godly ruler. "In the end... there will be only chaos!"

This is the big set-up for the second Titan War -- a Titans versus Gods encounter, where Kratos leads the towering beings into battle against the forces of Zeus -- a battle that will ultimately lead to the destruction of Olympus. It'll be epic in scale and implication and we can't wait.

ANIME WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!


I) Naruto Shippuuden

WOOO ITS finally time for some long-awaited Akatsuki battles as Team Asuma collides with the 2 jinchuuriki-hunting pair in their climatic, (possibly last?) battle. Will the former 12 ninja guardian be able to stand against the onslaught of the ruthless bounty hunter and blood-thirsty priest?? MUST catch it in next week's 1 hr special!!

II) D.Grayman

AND YOU thought it was all over when the Generals came and pwned the egg. Here comes Level 4, the uber akuma that owned Allen Walker with a flick of his finger and annihilated? da generals with a tap of his fist on the ground. Who else is there left who will stand against this mighty, awesome foe?? (Lenalee's new innocence??!!)

III) Code Geass R2

THE BEST for the last. The climatic war of the world is drawing to an end as the newly reformed Brittanian Empire collides with the rest of the globe above apocalyptic Nippon. The pieces have been set, the greatest game of chess has just begun. With the massive forces of the Black Knights combining forces with Prince Schneizer and his rain of F.L.E.I.A. arsenals, will Emperor Lelouch crumble as he faces his ex-subordinates and arch-rival whom he has never won before? Or does the erupting of Sakuradites from Mount Fiji mark the beginning of the table-turning tricks up his sleeves?? Will the Power of the Kings truly prevail in the end, or succumb to a helpless, immobile sister??? Checkmate.
All this, in the final 2 episodes of the season. WHOAAAaaaa.

(Obviously, can tell that i dont read mangas.)

Oh and I may start uploading some school/class photo albums on facebook liao cos easier to disseminate. Stay tuned...

WAH ok back to revisions.

that time of the year again

Well, there goes the 1 week break. Sadly, wasted most of it on MGS4 and stoning in front of the computer, and needless to say, minimal revision done. Neglected many other things of course. Oh well, whats done is done, and i guess i will have to compensate it with lousier grades in my promos, now just aiming to beat my mid-year score of 35/42 with 2 1/2 weeks left of revision, hopefully. (considering my subject combi, thats really quite low already..)

And so it came to pass, that 8 months of the year 2o08 has sunked into the ebbings of time. What is left are but cruel and tumultous months for us brothers, sisters and friends: Final year exams, 'N' levels, 'O' levels, promos, 'A' levels, and even ardous attachments guarding our well-deserved time of rest in Nov/Dec. Indeed, we have come to our favourite yet most dreaded time of the year again. Well, I shall not waste your precious reading time by telling u to study hard, revise and all that old-fashion stuff that you have been hearing countlessly, i mean cmon la, im sure we are all mature enough to have realised that eons ago. Instead, seek and rely on Him for everything. For His grace, guidance, peace and protection. And of course, constantly pray for one another, for

"Again i say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
Matthew 18:19-20

And all these things you seek shall be added unto you. Short, simple, sweet.
(Dear IYs, do i sense another period of nightly 11/11+pm prayers again?? I think its time for someone to start jioing every1 again =)

"Fear not, for I am with you;

Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you.

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Is 41:10
