So far...

So here I am 14 years since I graduated from film school and 10 years since I left my job as a technical officer in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and have been working as a location sound recordist in Singapore. I have been blessed with work and the means to support my family. I can be considered successful in what I do, but I am growing weary. Weary because I feel that I have not done much for my family as a father and husband. I am weary because I feel so far from the God that I love. 

No more am I concern if I get a high profile production. I wish my fellow sound recordists (and other film crew of course) all the success in this business; even those who may see me as a competitor. Most important of all, some have become an inner circle of friends; a brotherhood of sound recordists. They are the best! It is a healthy competitionI must as we hope to get called for certain productions. I just want to do the work I am called to do. These days, as long as I have work and I am happy making a honest living with integrity, I am happy. Not merely contented, but extremely delighted in what I do because in doing so I fulfil my purpose. I do not count my chickens before the hatch. I am trusting and I am waiting. I will have no lack.

This year marks the last year before my little chipmunk goes to Primary One. I have been warned about not losing the time of their childhood, it seems that this is the last year for me to do that before he goes to the "big boys school". I really want to be there for him. I want to be HERE! So the work so far in this first quarter of 2014 has been a blessing. While most crew complain about delays and unnecessary breaks in the middle of a production, I am so glad I have those break to spend time at home with the family and to catch up on some needed rest. 

The Lord is good and His mercies endures forever. 

He has never left me in want. 

He is not done with me yet.
