When Life hangs in the balance

Cancer. The word that ranks amongst the most feared words anyone can say.
What do you do, especially when you realize how little you can do. A friend's father, now faces this word. At times like this, I remember another friend who in the face of death and suffering didn't flinch and lived on. That is his legacy of courage which comes from God alone. The courage to face death because it no longer has power over us.
Isaiah 53
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.

EK's White Wine Baked Chicken
September 26, 2006
Well, well, does the title sound like I'm taking all the credit? I guess so since I came up with this in fifteen minutes and unless someone decides that it exists somewhere first, you discovered this recipe here first!
-600gm of skinned, boneless chicken (well, you can use half a chicken)
-1 table spoon salt (*)
-75ml white wine
-4 table spoons olive oil
-4 cloves garlic, diced
-small pat of butter
-Basil leaves, ground about 2 handfuls.
-Oregano (4 table spoons) and Paprika to taste
Rub salt on chicken. Add white wine and then continue rubbing with basil leaves, half of the diced garlic, oregano and paprika. Preheat over to 200 degress celcius. Melt the butter till liquid and add the remaining garlic. Add the olive oil into a baking pan and mix with the garlic and liquid butter. Put the chicken plus the all the marinade into the pan. Mix well. Bake for 45 minutes at 200 degress or until lightly browned.

* This is a low sodium entree so you might want to add another tablespoon of salt.

A lousy photo is the result of doing too many things...

And now just finished mopping the floors, cleaning the backyard, re-potting four bamboo plants, and whipping up a vegetable soup for tonight's dinner... I need a vacation!
And from today's message, all about God's love and how it should be the foundation of our own love.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,
for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
~ Psalm 107:8-9, (Entire Psalm 107)

In 2003, 80Gb storage was pretty much enough for most photo scans. Afterall, you'd come back from a two week trip and end up with like 26 rolls of film. Since I scanned every single frame, I'd end up with like 936 frames which with compressed TIFF scans, they only consume about 12Gb (you'd normally average about 11-13mb per scan). Fast forward two years to 2005 and I'm finding that 200Gb is filling up fast. In 2004, I went on a two week trip with 2 1Gb cards but it became 3 1Gb cards in 2005 and I was averaging 1.5Gb a day which means that on a fortnight travel, I'll have over 20Gb! So now, in 2006 with 4Gb cards which just means that the shoot rate just went up. And I don't have my 5D yet! And Seagate just announced disks that achieve 2.5TB!

Have storage, will travel with camera!
Real life Resumes and Interviews
September 19, 2006
I wonder what they teach in school nowadays... I've conducted about seven interviews over the past couple of days and I don't remember writing my first resume like this or answering interviews in this manner.
In real life resumes:
Objective section: To get a job. RM1800 expected salary. Wow! How direct?!
Languages section: Can speech average and write english, chinese and malay. Hmm, what's speech and is there an "average" language?
Interview question #7
You say your strength is mathematics. What sort of topics did you learn or what did they teach?
"In sem one, basic maths. Then one year later, advanced maths"
Erm, what topics do they cover, you know, statistics, calculus, number theory?
"Set also got, then got advanced maths"
