What Makes a GEM? from Lynns E. Lim on Vimeo.

This is the video that we were working on with A.C.E. As I mentioned before, it was originally created for GCC's GEMs Night, but this is another version that we played on Sunday. Enjoy!!

Next Week...

...is trial exam!! =) Because we're leaving for a mission trip to Kluang on that day, having trial is kinda a bother (that's for you, Charmaine Cheang!!) Last year, my grades dropped more than I gave myself space for. This year I've got to 'up my standard!'

Charm, if you're reading this, tell Alicia she should do her trials and continue dancing ;) Tell her it's from someone who knows =P

Footprints in the Sand

Every time I go to the beach, I am reminded of the Footprints story by Margaret Fishback. I remember posting her story a while back, and I totally love it.

Walking on the wet sand yesterday brought those lines back into my head. I looked behind me and saw only one set of footprints. I smiled to myself, knowing that seeing only one set of footprints is because God has been carrying me.

Thank You God for the way you carry me =)

Every Time I Breathe

I am sure all of heavens heard me cry

As I tell you all the reasons why

This life is just too hard

But day by day without fail

I'm finding everything I need

And everything you are to me

Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer

I never wanna leave, I wanna stay in Your warm embrace

Oh, basking in the glory shining from Your face

And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart

I realize it's true, that You are so marvellous God

I am so in love with you

Now how could I after knowing One so great

Respond to You in any way

That's less than all I have to give?

But by Your grace I wanna love you
Not with what I say but everyday

In a way that my life is lived

Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer

I never wanna leave, I wanna stay in Your warm embrace

oh, basking in the glory shining form Your face

And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart

I realize it true, that You are so marvellous God
I am so in love with You

I love this song!!

Sensing Satisfaction

Today is our last day to finish editing the GEMs night video...

We're almost done, but we still have to get the prologue and epilogue done; plus finetune the whole thing. I can't wait to see it on the big screen tomorrow cause I know it's different than from the editing computer. I'm excited!!

I am already sensing satisfaction =)

Lights, Camera, ... Sound?

As our first digital media production, we're assisting A.C.E. on the GEMs Night video. We set a date to interview a few women of various ages and what they were going to speak on.

Yesterday we had our shoot! We (Nat, Chrisa and I) were A.C.E.'s crew and we took turns being in charge of lighting, sound and the camera. We had an amazing time exploring and I'm sure we're A.C.E.'s most 'siao' crew ever!

We spent some of the morning in church shooting, and some of the afternoon too. I have always enjoyed being in front of the camera, and it was pretty cool that today I got to really get to be behind it.

Initially we had scheduled one teenager to be part of the shoot, but it turned out that she could not make it. A.C.E. and Mom thought it would be a good idea for me (since Nat is ever reluctant to do anything of this sort) to do it as a back-up in case we did not have time to shoot her and since the event is actually this Saturday. After a long time of protesting against it, (not because I don't enjoy it, but I have done it several times before already) and trying to get Nat or A.C.E. to do it instead, they won =P Although it took me awhile to gather my thoughts for I did not prepare anything, I really enjoyed it.

Today we have to edit the video, and I hope that goes well!!
