Day 2 brought it’s own challenges and struggles. From the taskforce point of view, it was the day before D-Day! It was also the last day for the video and photography stream to conduct it’s
respective workshops. We had a blast with Ps.Sivin’s awesomely cool power up! session. He really is tech savvy! Today was also the day I had to share my testimony about my journey in Media.
One day, if you’ll buy be a cup of coffee, i’d love to tell you my story
Sommore it was T-shirt day! meaning group photo day haha!
(Once more, Pics were taken jointly by myself and Sharon Tan Li Li)
This year’s T-shirt

This year I must admit, I couldn’t find much time to take many pictures
The time came for me to share my testimony, I was a quite relieved when I was told that they swapped my turn with someone else, but somehow down the line, I got swapped back without being told !
Not that I wasn’t prepared, I thought Public Speaking for 4 years! Nevertheless, I was scared. Why? Because my senior Pastor was amongst the delegates this year!
Actually, it took some gently nudging from Ps.Sivin to lead me up to the stage
I guess he was ok with my testimony. (Phew)
Choon Ean is a person who never overlooks anyone’s contribution to the cause. Here she’s appreciating Joe for helping out with the Power Up! Worship sessions. He was leaving to Kuching that day. Awesome person I must say.
After the power Up! Sessions, we proceeded to our separate streams; today was the last day for workshops. So here we had Jenny Sun! sharing with us the secrets of interacting with clients.
It was a hot afternoon. But we managed to get the outdoor session done!
Marie and Jeanette are repeat offenders in Charge Up! Both have attended 3 Charge Up! Conferences and still have managed to elude the call of duty! haha!
Any way, Jenny was very cool with her workshop, it was so easy to grasp what she wanted to explain to us. Her Q&A session had to be cut short because there were just so many questions and not enough time!
(On a seperate note, we have noted from your feedback forms; the issue of Time management. We thank you for your feedback and will look to being more timely in the future.)
A year ago, Grace was organizing the group picture session in Penang, using Joseph’s 5DMKII. Today she’s doing the same thing! But with her OWN 5DMKII :)
Credit to Grace Tan for the shot & Ian Chong for the radio poppers! (Arguably among the most handsome dudes for CUC2010 jointly shared with me!)

Pic taken by Grace Tan too! This pic was taken the day before because Louis had to leave early in the conference. His presence was sorely missed.
Jenny had to get ready for her trip to the UK. So me and nick being like a bunch of school girls, walked her to her car, and said our goodbyes.
Next I jumped into Ke Wynn’s lighting workshop. If you ask me, I dub him reflection-Guru. You should check out his work!
His workshop on using flash was essential to the delegates. I also managed to help out with his workshop.
The result :
One of the key contributors to in my life and walk in media. Grace’s eye and mind for visual story telling is so fresh!
Here’s Grace in her natural surrounding
If she’s not shooting weddings around the world, or editing behind her MacBook Pro, you’ll find her here, training generations of media passionate people.
Sorry Ladies, this man is taken. Alex Lam is married to Grace Tan, making them Mr.& Mrs. Lam The man’s mind is like a machine! Always cooking up ideas and such. You can call him a techno-preneur
Here’s Sharon busy snapping away.
After dinner, we headed on to the next agenda, the Media Showcase.
Various church media ministries all contributed to the showcase ! It was interesting. But yes, due to public opinion, too long.
We know, next year, we’ll spread it out across the night sessions or something.
If you’re looking for fresh creativity and lame jokes, he’s your man! kareem!!
beware of his mamak sessions.
Little did they know….
