B Happy Where U R...

When did you last watch the clouds floating by? Meaningless?

When did you last notice a plane flying over high up? Got better things to do?

When did you last cycle into the morning mist? Boring?

Maybe, you are right. After all, making a living is important, saving up for the golden twilight years is critical and creating a better future for your loved ones is essential. There are also better options for entertainment and relaxation that can be had with more money. So, why bother about noticing and doing the simple things in life.

Hey! Isn't it wonderful that different people go after different things in life?

The Little Red Dot

There is a place on Earth known as the "Little Red Dot". And that's the way she is indicated on the World Map.

I often see a little red dot when I run in the early morning. In this video, you will also come across it, appearing in orange colour. And that is the rising sun! It's an extremely important little red dot. Any dot, little or bigger, red or colourful, that plays the role of the Sun for the people living in its neighbouring region, is definitely a sincerely embraced and greatly appreciated dot.

Jetty Sunny

I love a sunny morning on days when I run.
I love a rainy morning on days when I don't.

I love the sunshine when my shadow leads the way.

I love a light rain when my shadow keeps lagging behind.

I love the sunbeam. That's my smile!

I love the raindrops. Those are my tears...

Hey! The sun is shining brightly today! So cheer up! Be happy. Smile. Laugh. Whistle. Sing. Dance. Run. Even if all these only last for a few moments during the sunrise.

Let's come back for more in the days ahead. The Sunshine will make you happy again...

Musical 113

Revolving toy-models of 3 variants of the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier, with 5 pieces of music arrangements playing in the background.

The M113 armored personnel carrier is basically a infantry squad carrier, which has the ability to float and swim across lakes, rivers and streams. It has been upgraded and modified over the years to perform different combat functions. The M113 variants include mortar carrier, anti-tank missile carrier, command post vehicle, combat engineer vehicle, battle field ambulance and logistics support vehicle etc. The M113s have been in service for around 50 years, and many Armed Forces around the world are still using them today. Its reliability and multi-functionality will ensure its service, into the foreseeable future, in a more supporting role.

Dancing with the "Land Ships"

(if using notebook's built-in speaker, pluck in headphone or external amplified speaker to pick up the full range of background music.)

Tanks were born in World War 1 out of the desperation of trench warfare. They were designed by the Allies to crawl right up to the German Army in their system of trenches, strongly defended by machine guns and artillery, and destroy them without being destroyed first.

Tanks were originally called "land ships'. The name "tank" comes from a British cover story: "They concealed their construction from the Germans by calling them storage tanks or boilers."

Defending a country from evil forces might be worth doing, but defending the power of one's country over others is simply not right.

Better conquering self than a thousand times a thousand enemies. If we cannot restore life, who are we to take it?

Okay, back to the dancing with these "Heavy Metal"! Let's hope they will only Rock 'n' Roll, and 'Lock', 'Pop' & 'Break' during peace times...

a Morning Walk ...

Every morning is a new beginning. It is the first day of the rest of your life. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. So, love everyone, love everything! One thousand years from now, it's all new people.

A new batch of human or 'alien' beings will be taking their morning walk where I used to, but seeing totally different things. By then, most of what you have done, are doing and will be doing, do not matter to them. Except for all those, whom you had loved during your times, who no longer own the source of memories to remember a thing about you.

However, I do believe you had created a Link between you and those people whom you cared about. One day, it shall be Clicked and the 'cause/effect' data will be Downloaded. And you will be seeing one another again and writing a new chapter together, without remembering your past episodes.

Today is a good day! ...isn't it?

run Forest, Run!

Forests were put on Earth for a reason. They help to maintain a delicate balance between all of nature's elements, and this prolongs the human race. As a result of deforestation, we are already losing many species of animals and plants each day, and destroying the sources of potential cures for many diseases of today and the future. Over-deforestation leads to negative climate change. The recycling of water by nature is disrupted. The carbon dioxide level goes up. The temperature shoots up. There would also be more incidents of soil erosion, flooding and landslides.

So, keep the forests; save its trees. Love the forests; hug the trees. Or, they will get real grumpy. And Mother Nature hates to see us turn her lovely child into a Forest Grump! And we shall have to run instead ...to find a safe place to hide!

Mother Nature's sadness and anger ...

What have we done? For the past week, we have been woken up just before sunrise by gusty wind, heavy rain, loud thunder and glaring lightning. And the day greeted us with fallen leaves, flowers, twigs, branches, trees, and water puddles everywhere...

Lightning in the Silence of the Night...

I have extracted all the flashes from a 18 minutes clip, so you don't have to wait long in between the lightnings.

The scene alternates silently between a black sky and the white lightnings. By watching this and maybe by attempting to count the number of flashes, I hope I can help you to fall asleep quickly. And please, do remember to turn off the light. This is conducive to sleeping well and seeing the flashes clearly.

Lighten up and Take Off ...

Let go of all your fears and stop putting yourself down. Spread your arms and run! Flying up, up and away ...

Gone with the Passing Clouds ...

The planes come and go, the clouds come and go, the birds come and go, the Superman comes and goes, the UFOs come and go. But, the sky remains clear ...
