God always have His ways to make the impossible, possible; and even better... by making the possible, magnificent. Especially for our Jesus Embassy (JE) recent event: Freshman Party/Christmas Bash 2011. Through weeks of preparation and a new church building, by God's grace things went out smoothly. I like the way how JE does things, our leaders put so much faith in us, constantly encouraging one another in order to pull out something amazing. Despite the fact that we might feel discourage or dead struck facing a flat wall with no inspiration, personally it was those desperate times when I'm dying for an inspiration to create a video or designing invitation cards, posters or anything related to media. I'm grateful to have these amazing seniors in JE that put so much trust and support when it comes to media. As I looked back, indeed I have grown much throughout the years in serving JE. 

In fact, it has always been the one and only association where I find myself fully utilizing my talents, ideas and skills and being appreciated at the same time; it's archetypal when one is given a responsibility, the initial phase turns out well but on the way you will end up being obliged to listen to others' ideas or at least being 'interfered' and gets your enthusiasm demolished and finally end up not liking what you're doing. Been there, suffered from it.  

Behind all the events, a team which I somehow find myself working with - Media Crew. A new series of sound system, heaps of tangling wires & equalizers, projectors and cables connection. All these behind a front screen just so that the audience can enjoy a perfect night. Media is something that not many people will pay attention to, until a mistake occurs. When sound systems are not working well enough, when microphones aren't functioning, when projectors fail to show the right pixels, when sound is not equalized. The learning process is endless, from Adobe Photoshop to Adobe After Effects to Final Cut Pro softwares which I am... currently still a noob at. When Xun Jin was here, he used to be the one a 'standard-meter'; the great satisfaction when your work is published to the audience to view and the feeling when you are encouraged and most importantly... being appreciated by many.

I've constantly tell myself, there is too much life has to offer and there is an abundant of things for us to learn out there. One of the motivational talk given by a very good buddy of mine, Clez that day was about 'Focus'. I started to apply what I can learn from others, JE band, the ever best, spontaneous, public speaker ever Mr. Akin/President himself and many others. To focus on what I enjoy doing, doing in the name of JE, in the glory of God. Tiny & minute but little by little I promise that I'll make everyone proud someday.

God, you have no idea how grateful I am for all the new things that You have taught me.
