My So Called Life

If you have noticed, I have plenty of morning pictures... this is because I bring my camera with me to work, and everymorning, when I am caught in the traffic Jam, i will snap some photos, especially if it is a beautiful morning...

As promised, a close up on the penang bridge run pewter medal, given for those who could finish the half marathon (22.5km) within 3 hours. I finish on 3.5 hours, but since they have some extra, I got one too... how lucky...

How interesting in life, when we look from one angle, things looks white, and when viewed from another angle, it looks blue. True is the sky shown on the picture here, and we rarely have the opotunity to see things from different angle at a time... maybe we just need a mirror....

Conditions exist through change. You canít prevent it. Just think, could you exhale without inhaling? Would it feel good? Or could you just inhale? We want things to be permanent, but that canít be. Itís impossible. If you know that all things are impermanent, all your thinking will gradually unwind and you wonít need to think too much. Whenever anything arises, all you need to say is ìOh, another one!î Just that! Ajahn Chah

This is the last of the Yellow Flower with Morning Dew Series for this week.. hehehe... no more yellow flowers, for thos who are bored of it already.. ha ha ha..

With the first gleam of morning rays, the garden is a prism of a thousand hues refracted in tiny does of crystal dew, a dazzling quilt of millefleur colors covering the sleeping flower beds. ~Duane Michals, The Vanishing Act~

Unruly beings are as unlimited as space They cannot possibly all be overcome, But if I overcome thoughts of anger alone This will be equivalent to vanquishing all foes. Where would I possibly find enough leather With which to cover the surface of the earth? But (wearing) leather just on the soles of my shoes Is equivalent to covering the earth with it. Likewise it is not possible for me To restrain the external course of things; But should I restrain this mind of mine What would be the need to restrain all else? ~Shantideva~

This is yellow flower week, yesterday, I posted a flower bud, today, a closeup of the same flower type, with the sun on the back. Does anyone know the name of the flower?

Chili Padi, direct translation to English is Rice Chili, an essential spice in Malaysian cooking, is loved by all races... Do not let the size fool you.... It will blow your mind.. or rather your mouth... hahaha

Thick Haze over Northen Malaysia... Visibility < 2KM...

Wow... what a weekend... Participated in the Penang Bridge Half Marathon, all 22.5KM in distance... and manage to finish the run on 3.5hour and won a medal in the process. Here are some of the photos that I manage to capture during the run... " Penang Bridge Run 2003 "

Taken on the way to work, this is what greets me every start of the day, at time, is it beautiful, at times it is dull...

To wear a crown like this, the king would have bee hot headed...

if only this spider is radioactive, i could have been stronger, could leap from building to building.... with great powers, comes great responsibilites... Well... i dont need all these powers... all I need is just x-ray eyes... hahahahaha

I would like to say that the small cut is a result from last night's fight club, but we all knows that it does not exist, wink wink. I actually had a minor accident two days ago while trying to dismantle a cloak hangar. I almost poke my eye out, as you can see, it was a near miss. If I had taken my eye out, this blog would have to be changed to " Life as seen by the One Eye Man"... haha.. though it may be funny, it does put some chills in my bones to think how close I have come... to loose an eye...

My new Motorola Phone, C300, took some closeups from a non regular point of view. will have more pictures pop up here and there in the future...

The Beach photo was taken at the Mutiara Burau Bay Beach in langkawi island. The original color of the sand were much lighter, after some contrast adjustment, got the sand color to be dark brown, and the salt water turbulent to be white.

As strange as it seams, two days of my blogging has disappeared. May 29th & May 30th... wonder if there is any alien visit at that time period?? anyway, I have reposted the photos above...

This photo was taken in 'Pulau Dayang Bunting', Pregnant Lady Island in Langkawi. This monkey was one of the most outstanding among the crowd, as he was the most daring, and with the most astonishing hairstyle... the becham style...
