For the Record

The only link to the first sermon I gave on the 12th of December 2010 at Wesley Methodist Church Johor Bahru (entitled 'The Gifts of the Magi') was posted in a Facebook comment, so it'll probably be buried soon enough. So for archive purposes, I decided to post it up here (http://memoirsofadinghy.blogspot.com/2010/12/for-record-12-12-10-sermon-now-with.html), together with my Powerpoint presentation. I also edited out the buzzing noise in the background, so the result is much cleaner (though you can hear some digitalization if you listen too closely). My apologies for early/late animations - audio and video sync gets a little screwy when recording Powerpoint to a fixed audio track.

Puzzling Over Photoshop

(Click the image to enlarge)

This was part of a flyer I designed for JB Wesley (the church in the picture). I was thinking that it looked a bit like some kinda banking or insurance advertisement.

If the photoshop is a bit crappy it's not just because of my lack of talent, but rather 'cause I just learnt how to use the pen tool (can you say hallelujah?). That, plus the puzzle texture I downloaded had annoying gaps between every puzzle piece that I wasn't going to manually extract out with my newly acquired super awesome penning skills.
