christmas is an everyday celebration

pei and the christmas tree at sis kim's cell party. best tree ever!


The year end holidays this year has not felt like a holiday at all - work, GY camp and Christmas practice took up most of my time! But I am absolutely thankful and grateful to God for all the stuff I went through this past two whirlwind months.
Pure awesomeness. God is.

2011!



For now, I'm gonna sit back and listen to Britt Nicole's Holiday.

'Cause when it's work all day
I cannot escape
I just stop to think, and I'm going crazy
Take a break, hey

beauty revisited

I never thought I would say this, but girls, please, you are beautiful no matter what they say. I am sick of ya'll being all self-conscious before a looking glass (that's English talk for mirror) and saying you need to be on a diet - EXCUSE me, you live in Malaysia, a diet is an oxymoron. LOL. Just exercise lah, if you feel out of shape.

Beauty as the world sees it is never forever. If you ask me what is beauty, well, I'm trying to define it as a state of mind, a condition of one's heart and most importantly, the destiny of one's soul. (Woah, deep words) But the truest of all beauty is something else, something more - something supernatural.

gy camp 2010

GY Camp 10 has come and gone. ("What is GY? Does it stand for GAY?" "Yes, it stands for joyful, happy and full of passion and enthusiasm from the Lord!")

What have you learnt from it? I have learnt a few things, and really am elevated in a sense - to be where God wants me to be, so see things the way He sees it. There's so many things to share, but this is not an appropriate avenue. So I'll just stick to a list of the top ten things of GYC10!!!

zlwin's photoalbum


1. God. Praise and Worship. DJ JC is in the house (forever!)!

2. The youth. So many new faces, so little time!

3. The jokes. Let's reminisce those over green tea and local FRUIITTSSSSS!!!!

4. SP!!!! And the very much impactful speakers. Salute!

5. The games. Renee Koo's galah panjang audio defense and Sher Wyn's leet skillz at Paint War Dead Zone. And Cluedo Live tagline: "Have you seen Jhun Ho?"

6. The committee. This year's one was super downsized. PTL for His hand upon us, PTL.

7. My roomies. The tail-less cicak, 54 criterias, staying up till 4am. (on normal occasions, if i stay up later than 2, i will fall sick the next day. but this is supernormal. God is supernormal.)

8. The secret GAs. Jior, so sweet can.

9. Tiger Court: Star Wars edition

10. His LOVE and GRACE. Before this camp started, I had so much doubts and thoughts on insufficiency on my mind, that all I could think of was how human strength was so foolish and full of folly. Now I know, that in my weakness, his strength is revealed.

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

2 Cor 12:9

...so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

1 Cor 2:5

stay blessed and walk in the light!

Whenever I have a bad day, I think of what Isaiah the prophet wrote a long time ago about Jesus - the man of sorrows, friends with the deepest of griefs.


3 He was despised and rejected—
a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
He was despised, and we did not care.

4 Yet it was our weaknesses he carried;
it was our sorrows that weighed him down.
And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God,
a punishment for his own sins!

5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed.

6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
the sins of us all.

"Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."

note to self:

please stop complaining.
please stop complaining.
please stop complaining.

please stop complaining.

set apart

as days go by, the ways of this world becomes more and more cold, cynical, heartless, materialistic and self-seeking.

hold tightly to the truth. fix your eyes on what is eternal. that's the only thing that will matter in the end. you have inside you a light that will never go out.


not a single person on earth is always good and never sins.
be set apart. be holy, as your Father in heaven is holy.






Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

-romans 8:35-37

the truth shall set you free.
if it doesn't set you free,
that's not the truth.

notes on saturday

Hello everybody!

Yours truly just got home from another full day at church. Man. I am loving what God is teaching. Words of the week include: endurance, proclamation. Term of the week: There HAS to be more to life than this. Yeah, you've heard it a million times over, but HAVE YOU EVER let it sink in? Have you found a response to that term?

To-night's plan is to meet up with the pillow talkers for dinner. Hooray! I love meeting up with friends.

Yesterday, JQ invited me for ba kut teh brunch. The surprise was, of course, the two college mates she bought along! Jeez, it was so pleasant, because just that week I was thinking how I owed ZW some Klang BKT before he heads back to his hometown.

I am going to trust in God for everything. Proverbs 3:5,6 is cliched, so say some people, but it is a gem of a truth that sadly gets underplayed. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

ps 37:8

He be telling me:

Stop being angry!
Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
it only leads to harm.

I was looking for that hymn-ish song "All other ground is sinking sand, on Christ the solid rock I stand" but all I got were choir intepretations and Delirious?'s alt-rock version. Love, love!

Rock on!

an assignment

B asked to read my assignment, so here it is:



To discuss a campaign in which you felt an ethical theory has been violated.

Marketing Campaign Ethics – Calvin Klein

Introduction

Calvin Klein (CK) is a fashion brand synonymous with the culture of rebellion and sex. Search for Calvin Klein ads on the Internet and you will know what I mean. From the very beginning, its founder, Calvin Klein, has always believed in the power of shock advertising. Shock advertising is advertising that attracts attention by being startling or offending in some manner. This is achieved through the use of explicit, violent or highly graphic images, or suggestive television advertisements.

Shock advertising works on the social norm of the consumer it targets. It goes against their values, beliefs and morals, getting them to think, talk and act on that advertisement. Shock advertising can be very effective for a company, or horrendously damaging.


The Advertisement

The focus of my assignment is the Calvin Klein Jeanswear (CK Jeans) advertising campaign, launched in the year 1995 via television, print and billboard medium. The print advertisement features a topless male model and a female model with exposed underwear from her low cut jeans in a dingy setting. The shock factor was how nubile and young they both looked – he looked like a prepubescent teen, and she seemed not a day older than 14! The ad campaign was inspired by Italian pornography of the 1960s, says Klein in an interview.

If the print advertisement roused the viewer's suspicion that CK was propagating inappropriate sexual innuendo, the advertisements on television confirms that suspicion. In it, a man (presumably a director) films a few young auditionees with a handheld camera. Most of these auditionees were in their early teens. The camera pans to their fresh faces, parts of their bodies, and captures an atmosphere of uneasiness.

The man behind the camera asks them suggestive questions, talks about the clothes they are wearing, and in one scene, encouraged a boy to rip his shirt off. Even a bystander would notice that something was something wrong and disturbing with the scene! Why is that elderly film director hitting on the young boy? Should he not be in school? And what sort of an audition was this?


The Ethical Theory

The ethical theory that has been violated in this situation is the duty-based theory. To judge whether an action is ethical or not by the duty based theory, each action must be judged independently. This means not taking into account the results that may occur from that action or its possible consequences. The motivation of an act is what makes it ethical or unethical.

So, the question that must be asked is: what is the motivation (or the main intention) for CK’s ad campaign? The obvious answer would be, to gain market share of jeans in the fashion industry. That sounds like a fair and reasonable business-minded motivation. But what was their drive, or what spurred them to go ahead with such a suggestive and almost risqué ad campaign? The answer: to create shock; to connote jeans with sex; to get people to talk about it. It certainly is not unethical, but it is an unclassy way to market their denim. However, to answer the question accurately, we must mention the execution of the shock advertisement: using models who look barely of age, accompanied by the voiceover of an elderly male laced with sexual innuendo.

Kantian categorical imperatives that should have been followed include universality, i.e. acting on principles that are universal. CK did not follow universal principles of protecting minors and their rights. It blatantly exploited the image of pre-teens by using nubile-looking models and subjecting them to intense and inappropriate scrutiny. Duty based theory also says to never treat people as a means to an end. This means to treat each person with respect in regards to their humanity. The manner in which the models were treated in the advertisement was condescending, exploitative and offensive to most people.


Impact and Rectification

CK’s ad campaign did not go down well with the general public. Although it was the 90s, when low cut jeans and bare midriffs started cropping up to suggest a more open and “fun” lifestyle, the public had zero tolerance for the preying upon of young teens and children.

The advertisement, both television and print, was found to be exploitative and disturbing by various parties. The American Family Association began campaigning via letters to retailers to boycott CK apparel. Among the biggest retailers who supported the boycott was Dayton Hudson Corporation (now known as Target). Besides that, CK was facing difficulties in getting print adverts out, as magazines like Seventeen refused to run that advertisement. The biggest reaction was probably the probe into CK by the Justice Department of the United States to find out whether any child pornography law was broken. (It was dropped, as all of the models were adults)

What CK can do to rectify this situation was to pull the ad campaign from the market, which they did due to public pressure, almost four months after its launch. To put this into the context of the duty based theory, CK should take more responsibility in playing its role as a member of a moral community, where people are treated as an end, and not just the means to an end. This means, to stop using and exploiting young models for the sake of market share.


No Repeat

Ethical marketing says that this is a marketing strategy that should not be repeated by CK in the future – but that is not going to stop them from doing it. As I mentioned earlier, shock advertising can work both ways. It can be very effective (as in the case of using graphic images of mouth cancer and the likes to discourage smoking) or horrendously damaging (intense public backlash). The CK ad campaign discussed in this assignment hauled in $462 million in apparel sales and another $200 million in unfulfilled orders in 1995 alone. Though heavily criticized and short-lived, the ad campaign for CK Jeans accomplished all and more of what it was supposed to do. It created much revenue for the company and ingrained into the minds of consumers that “jeans are all about sex,”

The $200 million in unfulfilled orders is probably the catalyst for another short-lived campaign in 1999, in which CK promoted its children’s underwear line with high definition, black and white images of children jumping on a couch clad only in their underwear. The billboard was up for only one day and the public’s furor over it was worse than previously, because CK had used children in this advertisement.

CK has not done anything to ensure that this does not occur again. In fact, in recent years as well, its advertisements have come into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.


Conclusion

Sex sells – we all know that. Controversy sells, too. For CK to change its style of doing business is like asking a tiger to change its stripes. Sex, nudity, shock and rebellion are ingrained in the CK culture. To change their ethics or the way they view ethics is to move away from its foundation and change its entire identity.

The problem with this company’s view of things is that they do not put ethics first. Neither do they think about moral consequences or the impact their shocking advertisements have on the society at large. Not only do they not base their decisions on duty based theories (or other ethical theories for that matter), but they also lack a respectable image of virtue. Some may argue that their rebellion and sex-oriented image is what differentiates them from other apparel companies, but to what extent are they doing it, and at whose cost?

Just keep believing, until one day, even though what you got is something beyond your expectation, you will find that, you're more pleased with this unexpected ending. Never give up when a small things is out of your expectation. The small outlier might be a piece of new puzzle in creating a better life.

Who are those who fear the Lord?
He will show them the path they should choose.
They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.
The Lord is a friend to those who fear him.
He teaches them his covenant.

double bill

Yes, yes I must sleep soon! Just wanted to blog about an outing last Saturday.

Teacher Pen, Kim, Su Mei, Bawanie and me
Federation of Ballet, PJ
Daniel Jaber's Double Bill

Double Bill here is a term used when a choreographer produces two different, independent performances. The first one of the evening, WG-Spiel (a German term) ran for 50 minutes. It was about the chemistry and attachment of three different housemates, and started off with a bang! ie techno music as soundtrack to a tight (choreographed) fighting scene. On a whole, I enjoyed WG-Spiel very much. Perhaps due to the music, too-by one DJ Trip/Clark/Ellen Alien. Besides that, the storyline was easy to see and they were doing pretty much regular everyday stuff. I don't get the symbolism of the white crates, though.



Poetic Structure, man, I do NOT get it at all. I saw the emotive faces evolving with the hands, the "ha ha ha" but other than that, no, what was the neon lights for? A house shape, that was all I saw. The dancers (all local) were good.


Interesting night out! Also got to spot (with the help of Tcher Pen, of course) a few dance people :D

a curtain of pixels

(seenamon)

It's nearing my bedtime.

You know how they always say we love Facebook because it gives us an opportunity to reinvent ourselves as the people we'd like other people to view us as, and how we do it by selectively choosing what we're tagged in and what we share, be it notes, links or videos? To me, it's like a culmination of what the tech buzz has been. If you had a second chance at life, that's probably how you'd build it. With the prettiest profile picture. The most decent pictures to be tagged in. Only sharing the music you think is cool. Giving your two cents on matters and politics you want others to think you're interested in. Sharing your true emotions behind a curtain of pixels. Living the life you want to live.

But really...waking up to log in to Facebook, logging off Facebook to sleep? Is that what we're being boiled down to? It is scary.


I HAVE to stop using Facebook.

As Vanessa puts it, good night, peasants.

little bows

So...I've passed a few of these small, pink-ish bows to some of my girlfriends. (Not the big one. Nobody would wear that in public!)





I love Su Mei's reaction when she examined one in her hand ("Waaah, really ah? You make one? Don't bluff lah Aisha!"). And I love it more to see the girls wearing them! :D

The bows are a handicraft, inspired by a bland college class one day. I went home and started on a prototype, which went to Su Ling just before she left for Aussie.

The other day at the bazaar, Yin Xian saw this awesome fabrics booth (Fabrics Fanatic). We all clamored over, even Amanda, who doesn't do stitching! Haha.

There was a matryoshka printed one that I absolutely love, so I had to get that. Just a small piece, can't make much with it. And I bought a bundle of polka dots too. So cute!

Since today is my "off" day of the week (superbly busy when weekends roll around), I took the liberty to try it out. Check it!

why celebrate aidiladha

"God presented him (Jesus) as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood."
Romans 3:25


Oh no, here you think, she's gonna preach at me again!


In the three weeks I've worked, today is the second public holiday I've encountered? I love Malaysia for its many public holidays. LOL.


Did you know Aidiladha is celebrated in remembrance of Abraham's faithfulness to the Lord that led him to (almost!) sacrifice his son, Isaac?

The story goes that God told Abraham to bring Isaac as a burnt sacrifice to him on Moriah mountain. As they walked up that mountain, Isaac, who was carrying the kindle (for the fire) asked his dad, "Dad, we have the wood and the fire. But where is the lamb for the offering?" In reply, Abraham said "God will provide it, son."

So they reached the top, built the altar, and Isaac was bound and put on it. (say it with me: WHAATTTT) As Abraham lifted the knife to his only son, an angel called out to stop him, telling him not to harm the boy. He looked up and saw a ram with its horns stuck in a bush, so voila, the burnt offering is provided!

There is lots to learn here, like Abraham's faith and willingness to follow God's voice, how Isaac must have felt, etc. But the only thing I thought of today, as I saw the news of cows being slaughtered in mosques and all, is the One sacrifice to atone all sin of humankind.




"We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him (Jesus) 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.
...the Lord makes his life a guilt offering."

Isaiah 53:6-7,10

Hillsong - Found
Christmas choir songs (Alto)


2. On my bookshelf now:

(I don't know why I'm reading Picoult. I swore off her stuff years ago after The Pact, which was emotionally distressing and mentally draining, and totally suicidal. I thought her stuff is all emo crap. Until Keeping Faith, an engrossing read!)

3. What people say when they see my hair down: "Waah, your hair very long liao!"

4. Rachel's messy peach crumble pairs so well with the icy cold Baskin Robbins.

5. Shake ups and break ups! This has been, without a doubt, the busiest year end I've had. Too much Distance Education workload, coupled with the inane work hours mean time is pressed, and the need to procrastinate grows.



6. Observation : As people grow older, they grow more critical and more bitter.


7. There was something here but I deleted it!


8. Joyce has this confrontational streak in her that I never knew existed. That's something I would like to have too. Makes everything so much more easier. No more beating around the bush and all.


9. The media is telling much lies and little truth. The Star newspaper is owned by MCA. It is pro-Barisan and anti-Pakatan. Take my word for it, if you're reading The Star, you'll never read of a Pakatan conference happening, unless a fight broke out. But when an UMNO meeting comes around, hoho, that's all you'll be seeing.

All I'm saying is, when it comes to the mainstream (or alternative, for that matter) take it with a pinch of salt, and don't believe all that it says.

surreal

Yesterday was a day in which everything was magnified. The train passed by a very small plot of recently bulldozed land, the red mud on which nothing stands but a medium built orange building with chipped paint. Four stories high, all the wide windows had no glass, so when the train shoots pass the structure, you could see the sky and the clouds through the building.

It was just for a split second that I saw it, but there and then, there was a strange feeling tied to that moment. Something melancholic-not overtly sad, but subtle and lonely enough to warrant your attention. Something like your childhood, and your favorite item at the playground (swing set), or an emotional Japanese movie.

Then I could see the blueness of the sky become even more blue. The clouds moving at a fast pace. The scenery changing. Everything was magnified. It was like the sights became crystal clear on that train trip. Surreal, I thought!

"Let Me take care of you,"

Train rides are therapeutic. Especially you take one in the middle of the afternoon. It's good to rearrange one's thoughts and priorities on the train. Nobody to talk to, nobody to listen to. Plenty of time to pray. Muddles. All that.

Reaching my station, the rain was pounding moderately on the roof and glass. There was no escape to this rain-I would have to be late for work. I prayed in my heart, not for the rain to stop, but that I would reach work on time.

There really is nothing to do but to wait.

You can't stop the rain.

You can't create an umbrella on the spot.

You just wait.

You seeked His kingdom and righteousness, you asked with a pure heart, so you wait.

He will take care of you.

For all of 5 minutes as I reached the station, a book kept me entertained. Then, the air cleared. The rain's gone! Well, most of it. Still, it was light enough to walk under. It was so beautiful. The weather. The puddles were not puddly. The drizzle was not heavy. Just like how one expects it to be after a storm, that was it. Crystal clear, once again.

I reached work on time that day.

fresh laundry

I am liking Fresh Laundry's accessories. Nautical-themed hair pins, so cute!

lamentations

I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

HICT Prom Night 2010

Prom was fun.
After party was funner.
Being there with friends, the FUNNEST.

get rrrrready!

Work is work! I recently started a temp job at a place "formerly known as Sime Darby Marketing". Good opportunity, but I've realized the 9 to 5 thing is not for me. You should try an office job out too. See if the schedule suits your pace before committing to it.


This week ended (or started? Since the Jewish calender starts with Sundays) with a food sale, all by the youth. I am proud of everyone of them! It's a blessing to be able to pull it off AND raise funds at the same time. The night before, huge doubts started to creep in my mind. What if we didn't have enough time? Run out of food? Forget to bring items (which I did forget, to bring the lettuces, butter, chips and celery)? Then I remembered that God never puts something on our plates that we can't handle. He will provide lah! Like, how many times must I go through the panic cycle before I realize that He is sufficient to meet my needs?


How has your week been? Read anything interesting in the papers?

GY Camp 2010 registration form here.

You've read me say it's a life changing experience. And it is! I never fail to hear from God here.

Faith is an expectancy that God will act. Take that step of faith now. Experience God. No matter your age, race, religion or background.

God is here. Will you take that first step?

For our newest collection, we sourced for acid colored guitar picks and found these Jim Dunlop ones. The colors are so neon-y! And the flowers, well, they're a different matter altogether!

Haha. The write up for the Color Burst collection is cringe-worthy :) it's so full of cliches. "...rock your day out..."

LOL I crack myself up.



Check it out anyway!

Yes. Way.

At Seenamon, we keep the prices low. Quality high. Style to infinity.

Because we're students too.

(Didn't that sound like a credit card/petrol advert? Haha)

a quote from ecclesiastes

"Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth - except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!"



Ah, money. Is that why we're alive? To keep making more and more money, to be engulfed and suffocate in mountains of it and lose the reason of life? Oh, woe be us if it be so. We're all susceptible to this form of lunacy.
