Day 1

Sorry guys for the delay as i busy planning with my new timetable for next semester but not to worry as i going to upload some photos plus video (if possible) about my trip in Myanmar as a Relief Volunteer org by Crisis Relief Society that is run by Christians. I won't share my whole story here .. just bit of sharing ...

These are my team member's
Myself and behind me is Irene (Mother of Sonia and Frieda) and Alice
The guy on the right side is Chris and behind him is Sonia and Frieda

First thing to do is to check in the hotel. We meet up with the local contact and the pastors.


This is the living condition. It's like 60's of singapore

Basically the first day is to buy all the medicine we need and some other stuff like toothbrush and soap give away to people in delta area.

We went for our coffee and tea break. The tea is so nice until i drink 3 cups *ops*











We were quite shock when this little boy serve us drink and by right, he is not allow to work as his age is so young. The pastor told us that their maid is earning like 1-2 USD per month


After we purchase our items, we went to their Chinatown and found our Singaporean favourite food which is You Tiao!! I did try and is very crispy.

Day 2 coming up .. Stay tune ...

I'm need to visit the barber soon as i very uncomfortable with my long hair now. *Sign*. Anyway, just now cycle from my house to Changi village area but half way i turn back because the bicycle gear is a bit "siao" so don't take any risk since this happen quite often beside the weather is going to rain condition *ops*.

Ok. I'm going to upload all my trip photos now. Stay tune.

Project "Bundle Of Joy" is a hidden project that i been doing for this year. Basically, i will be printing out my top 25 piece of photos and write out personal feeling about each photo that speak to me. Should i display at shop ? *My random thought again*.

Wednesday going for morning cycling with the brothers and hope got sisters come too so that more fun and more photos to snap. Every time i saw all the photos i capture for the past few year, how God will uses them when i upload? I mean do they minister you or just a nice photo only? I'm been asking myself such "lame" question but isn't that good to find out?

If the answer is only a nice photo, i find it no purpose. Well, i just a child who keep asking his daddy questions even time i do know the answer yet want to find out than just 1 answer.

People like F1 , i like Moto GP. Anyway, my favourite rider Valentino Rossi win the World Championmoto GP 2008 and the next stop will be in malaysia. I'm hope my time-table allow me to go there with daddy for this year because it will be my 1st time watching GP LIVE!!
Anyway, tomorrow is Amazing Race Season 13 !! MUST WATCH .. 8AM ... the race being ...

Marathon is just 2 months to go and my fitness level haven't reach the standard yet so must train more so that i can earn silver for my IPPT and 200 bucks add into my bank account.

Looking @ the stadium photo, i think i really want to go back again and snap some more .... and one last stupid incident happen just now .. i broke TW guitar .. gosh .. i think the wind make it drop u see .. haiz .. i not angry of paying the guitar but i angry that i cannot prastice when i want to do it now ... pai say bro .. will pay u back for sure ...

Went to pasir ris park to relax and sun tan. I'm saw 2 cats sitting at the bbq pit and they so "te" you know plus their secret weapon which is their "ser mi mi" eyes look at me .. haha.. they are female so i ok with that but if they are male ... piang ah .... i going to run away for sure ...

I'm keep going and keep trying but why things didn't work out that way.
Can you tell me why?
Sometime i hope you just take me away from where am i
rather than leave me here ....

I'm wish to find a place and shut my mind off from this world.
Keep me silent, Keep me in peace.

Written Toward Life

Forgot when i write such depress feeling .....
Anyway, i post it for the sake of FUN XD.

Big Headache since yesterday afternoon and "ta han" until evening time just to finish my work.
Finally, i completed everything and is time for me to go for my nice sheepy sleep ..... zzzzzzz.....
As i pick up my mobile phone and is already 12am, ok .. happy birthday, my friend.

Last night knock out at 10pm and is hardly see me sleep so early unless i too tired or just ill.
Some of my friends ask me "Why you not going?" and i told them the reason and the price they quote me, everyone praise me and said "Wise Choice brother, this is too much already".
I'm not trying to complain or what but if can help the student to save, just do it ... Anyway, alan chio me to go hong kong after graduate but i like to go somewhere else first and maybe i going to visit pastor Michael and the rest of the children's ... *Let God decide for me*

Finish a 1 day job (Thank Rong) for chio me and earn about 100 bucks for 8 hours only. Our boss actually is a freelance stylish and working on product photography *Gosh*, the door beside the storeroom is a STUDIO ROOM which is big enough for me to do some funky idea and alsom my dream room in the future provided I have my own room and if I have a wife, I got to discuss with her first -_-||.

Next week, I should be going for an overnight photography with Rong. It’s going to be very challenging and road is been plan last night and much more thing to tide down also and hope to fit in the photo book too since I trying to slot out the photos in the hard disk right now and perhaps 50D is just beside me already !!

Thank mom for giving me green light to purchase my next camera as i know people will said “You rich ah?” No, I’m not!! I’m buying because I need it for next year wedding plus this year projects and is not the wants so don’t mistaken by my motive …Daddy paying half also .. phew..

Her name is not “Valkyrie” because this is for my next Full Frame Camera so what should I call her!?!?

350D à Nana

SLR 888 à Nanako

70-200 F4 à Justice aka Jus

24-105 F4 IS à Zoom Mi

5D mark II (Not available until 2010) à Valkyrie

50D à Unknown from now

What name what name!! Come on... Someone give me a nicely name for her...

Valerie? Fredia? Rachel? Mabel?

Edit those left over photos before return to Myanmar folder (So long liao). Few days ago, i want to take some rest so i decide to bring "nana" along to pasir ris beach and i didn't regret my decision to bring it along because the sea level is at low tide condition. I’m have good experiences when come to low tide condition but the smell is ….

(Full of rubbish and seaweed)

but who care. For me, i want to take photos ...

I’m love this shoes shot because it speak to me 2 few sentences like

“Far away from where you are, I still miss you”.

"Everything change but Love Remains The Same"

Free / Slack? Nope. I'm not for god sake!!

I’m busy working on my projects plus the 2 repeat modules. Anyway, Rong (YEP leader) was disappointed as most of us cannot go for the meet up this Thursday as some give excuses or cannot make it and etc… Thursday, i having my IPPT so cannot join in the fun !!

Sorry brother and YEP gang. **".

Practice guitar, draft out slide show, study repeat modules and my own photo book which will release in 2009. I’m very excited to hear what Moses going to comment about my idea and there is a hidden secret inside the thanks giving page (last page). The total cost is around $50 - $200 dollars *depending on how many pages and size*.

From now, i want to work hard for my study and also guitar because the more i play, the more pain goes away .. i found my new toys ?

Yesterday night, i wrote this sentence before i sleep

“The Savior love me for whom am I and I was made to be his image”.

Confess that last night i sleep very late and that why today my "gin seng" is bad but thank God, no mood swing. Early the morning 6.20am, i went to the toilet for shower and mommy ask me "SO EARLY !?"

Gosh, i didn't tell her that i meeting "W" for breakfast (anyway she don't know who is W) and still in my day dreaming mode, i board the early bus and reach the bus stop @ 7.00am *Gosh*.
Can i sense? I don't know but somehow i can tell she is facing some struggles but i just trust the Lord as he can do mighty things because Jesus is big and awesome Jer 33:3. Jia You "W".

Just finish guitar practice and i really pick up like rapid speed when i start to play a bit by bit but as usual, the chords is a bit hard to press but the strumming is easy like no need to remember what Down x3 and Up x 1 and then Down up Down .. i can do it without counting .. *Blessing*.

I'm not going to hong kong because the price is too expensive and decided to buy my camera @ Singapore since the price isn't much difference. Last night, elene jie say i have change a bit after my Myanmar and i ask her "Did i ?" She say " You are more calm and postive compare to the past i know you" Have I ? HAHA !! I felt that too ... God did mighty work @ my life now.

Play with effect again and love the result.

Went to church for Cell group sharing and taste Adam cooking. I'm like the fried rice but not the curry because the taste a bit funny fr me. After that, i share a bit about my trip to Myanmar and keen to go back again if this is God will as to minister the children's over there but we must trust the Lord because he know the best for us even time we against his will yet he forgive.

25 yrs and this is the FIRST time step into national stadium. I felt i act like a "sua ku" kid whom keep on touching here and there *Gosh* because they going to knock down the place and upgrade to a new one for 2010 event and if i don't do it now, i will regret *haha* Took some snap and ba ba ba












Guitar lesson conduct by TW. Hopefully this time i will get it so that i can play worship song @ home and ba ba ba ... haha ... i felt i pick up quite fast in the stroke but not the chord ><".
Keep trying ..... HK trip might be cancel .. so expensive .. *piang*

Morning Send Ah.B.girl off. We meet up with Andrew, Ben and Sunny @ the station and slowly walk to T3 Popeye restaurantl. This is my 1st time going to that restaurant and personally i don't like it as no difference compare to KFC but is POPEYE ... u see. Snap a few photo and as usually, this girl don't want to snap properly and act cute !!!. Ok, let her win this time since i always let her ... haha .. take care and see u next week ....













Hong Kong trip is almost confirm but quite expensive also. Right now all my friends re-considering their decision.... we see how

Keep on walking where i am.










When the day my savior die for me










Set me Free















Are we difference ?















Cloudy Night

Afternoon, i met up with fraz for lunch and fellowship. I haven't see him for 3 week in church so is good to do some catch up and we went John 3:16 camera shop to buy the replacement camera eye cup for my daddy SLR 888 because i lost it Thailand and cost me 25 bucks ><" Gosh !! So expensive and it just a plastic ok ... *Piang* I went around the area to do photography while he went back office. I'm quite like the ROM area because is a nice place for wedding shots but i still prefer SAM and SAC. *Ok day dreaming again*.

Today dinner is cancel as monkey cannot meet us due to his worker applied MC and shortage of man power so we postpone to next Thursday night. It a bit disappointed because our last meeting is 4 months ago and not easy to book a slot with him.

Weather not bad for today so decided to go Pasir Ris Park to cycle and relax myself. I love the feeling where u sits at the stone, watching the sunset and pray to papa about my next mission for me and where should I go? Back to Myanmar or other counties? Whichever it is, God will lead me to so I don’t really need to worries for that.

Currently, I was doing some self-study about how to help a child when they are young and quite useful for me as a Sunday school assistant teacher because i want to invest my time into their life so that they can grow up to be Christ likeness and is my joy to see that result

Photos coming up …

12pm. Today Canon (Tokyo) just announced their brand new chapter for EOS camera and i finally see the impressive improvement from them and there is still 1 more hidden EOS camera which they haven't announced so i must wait for photokina 2008 which is only a few days time.

Wait for 3 years before a replacement been make for 5D and 5D mark II serve it purpose for semi-pro to pro photographers and price tag is very near to D700 price. Personally, i will still buy 5D mark I because i don't really need a 21 megapix camera and HD video record function.

Thank to Irene aka "Da ma" (Myanmar Trip sis/mother of two) for her encouraging words in the e-mail because i told her today is my result and wondering how bad will it be and she quote the verse Jer 33:3 and say " I know how you feel and remember this verse".

When Love Takes You In

A heart for them 2 trailer. It's took me about 2 weeks to review and edit before release putting @ my blog, i happy to see this personal project going for part 2 called "When Love Takes You In" using Steven Curtis Chapman song. *Amazing* This verison will be using my personal photos that i capture for my past 2 trip ...... Anyway, i must thank Jesus for putting this passion in my heart and this video is for your glory. Coming soon ... 3 months and 11 days to go.

Life can be pretty tough for everyone as the year goes by. We are fighting between reality and fulfill our passion in life and last night, i have to make a decision between going for my last fight or quit and go to art school if my upcoming result date which is on 16-9-08 turn out to be worst than what we expected even though i "already" knew it really bad like repeating 3-4 modules for the next semester.

I'm not worry compare to the past. After i came back from Myanmar, God put me to shame by comparing my school result and their salvation. Aren't they going much tougher life than me?
with no assurance of 3 days a meal , worst living condition and diseases everywhere.
Well, that how i have learn from there and if my problem really so big, i think is a lies ...

If my God is small, my PROBLEMS are big but,=
If my God is BIG, my problems are small."

Anyway, i decided to go for my LAST chance before wrapping up everything. If my brother in christ used 6 years ( repeat a few round) to completed his university, then my one is really nothing.

This week is pretty busy for me after coming back from Myanmar last Thursday.

Monday, i have to clear up all the leftover photos inside my "toshi" before more coming in and thank God that i manage to clear it but some are pretty ugly so a re-do is a must before burn into disc as backup.

Tuesday is kind of more relaxing for me. Afternoon, myself and sis went to downtown east to catch a movie call "hana yori dango final" and is nice ending with some of special angle for me to take notice when come to wedding photography. When i reach home, i think i too tired and sleep for a while ... o man .. been waking up @ 5am for the past few days .. i so tired ...

Wednesday morning, i meet up with my "da jie". I share with her my trip experience and realise i CANNOT take photo for her wedding because recently my teacher change the Hong Kong trip to 6-10-08 - 11-10-08 (not confirm) and her wedding is @ 11-10-08!!!!! O gosh, i didn't really notices until i mention about it*Thank God*. Well, she kina of disappointed because she BOOK me 1 year ago .... :(

Wednesday night, our Myanmar trip meeting (last briefing) and exchange photos. We are meeting up again when the 2 sisters having their term break in england and fly back to Singapore for reunion dinner*maybe dec time*. As for the rest of them, they are working adult and is back to the basics.

Thursday which is today. I'm went for photography and result is bad because nothing to shoot and the weather almost kill me but never mind, i did enjoy my walking distance but i won't tell you how far i covered because is really crazy. Right now, i have list out the task to do now.

Photo ( Myanmar Trip + Today) , E-mail to the local pastor , Do bible study material , Wrap up my conclusion letter and SLEEP. *Come on kevin, you wana sleep now* Today i wake up @ 7.10am and is like WTH !!! Last night, i slept @ 2.00am due to com screw up so got to clone back my image file ...........


I'm like this one.

Upon request by friends, i have upload these 4 master pieces of photo that i snap during my trip. The rest of them are "forbidden" from the internet as to prevent peoples stealing away my work. Thank for all the support and hope u guys can understand.

Jun Hao aka Kevin Loke (Photographer)
A project for Mission For Christ

Clear a folder and another one come in for standby and next month is "Da Jie" wedding so must put in 100% for hers. Myanmar trip is awesome and i have snap about 400+ photo (include rubbish) but overall, i did enjoy my trip with my team members but my story won't be ready until this Friday as i need to write down, reflect and pass them the letter of conclusion *lol*.

Should i upload my photos @ net ? O man, that incident really freak/piss me off whenever people trying to steal away your photos at the net and already re-size YET still "na" our photos.
I'm might upload those photos that people won't steal from you because is not a pro standard. how about that? *Sorry, mai. I think i cannot show u all of them*

Photobook !?. Last night, i told ruthie that chances of delaying is pretty high and another part is i want to put 100% effort for Jesus because he is the main autor for this book so must bring honor for him and touches life ... This is the sneak preview .. enjoy ...

Yesterday afternoon, i went to post office to collect my bulky box contain the books i order from USA but before that, i went to library to get my reserve book call "The End of Oil: On the Edge of a Perilous New World" written by Paul Roberts and walk to the Chinese section and found some"几米" books which caught my attention to read so i grab 2 copies and walking to my favourite section which is magazine.
I'm manage to grab this month popular photography and Newsweek **". Thk God for his blessing.

As i reach home, i just want to open up my bulky box which contain the 2 books i order online.

Finally, it here !! EE and CT book.











Bought some gift for xiao mei as her b'day is last month so waiting for her to collect from me











My disc is delay due to OUT OF STOCK o"o !!! O man. Anyway, i just love CT song.

I'm back from my relief work and God is awesome. Whenever i think about them, i just couldn't stop praising God for his amazing love and grace for this peoples. There are lots of amazing story to share like our drive say the sinner's prayer within a day and thanks to all the passionate pastors who don't want to waste the opportunity to share the gospel for their people.

This trip make me realize how God lead me from my past until today even thought in our eyes,
i actually turning a big round for my education before heading to polytechnic yet now facing another problem which i "make" a wrong choice and what's next? God knows and i must obey. Quite a lot of things to share and i told some of them that even 10 pages of paper also not enough for me to finish up this 6/5 days trip.

Result will be out on 16 of Sept. I'm have surrender to him that i knew i did pretty badly and highly chances of repeat modules is more than 80% but compare to those children's whom went thought the nagis disaster, this is just a small matter.
