First Entry of 2008

Well, instead of packing into an over-crowded, over-priced and under-served establishment for New Year’s Eve, we decided on a simple home dinner affair at my aunt’s place over in Damansara Heights. Also, instead of staying till midnight to usher in the New Year, we decided to head home and watch the fireworks from our cozy little condo on the twelfth floor.


1Utama and The Curve Fireworks, blocked by the silly crane!


Sunway Pyramid Fireworks – Thank goodness for the 70-200 and 1.6x crop factor

icon_ltgray_open_quoteBlessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s ‘all as it should be’
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
