Trapped and Frozen in Time

There is a weird thinking in me: How good if I could be frozen in time and be there forever! It is not only me that be frozen, there should be all the things and events that are around me be frozen too. Then, life would be much more simple and easy. There will be not variabilities, no changes, and no disappointment.

Living in a so-called Developed Country, things are constantly changing. Authority said they were changed for good. But people's feeling stated the other way or in doubts. Then the anxiety and depression grow. Suicide cases increased. People like us just watch the tragedy happening and could not do anything. Sad!

Paragon Under Water World, Bangkok

These are the photographs taken at Paragon Under Water World Bangkok on 23 Nov 2009 while I was there for Asia Fitness Convention. All shots were taken with Canon S90, with either shuttle priority or aperture priority. Most shots were using existing light, with high ISO.

一首小诗

Sentimental song by Zhang De Lan 张德兰

有时，真的怀疑当局四十年前，取消方言節目，是否是件善事。看官，你只要悄为用心看看字幕上的词，你必会吃驚，

它是那么的貼切且有意思。加上顧家辉的曲，張德兰幽怨的歌声；不令人唏嘘一番，都甚难矣。

迥望自己一生，驚见歌里竟然恍佛看到自己的身影！你呢？

Plants found at Bukit Timah Reserves, Singapore

Went to this place few days ago. The last time I paid a visit was years back. This time I equipped with Canon S90, which is a compact little camera and tried to capture animals and plants in that area.

These were the shots that I have captured during the trip.

My First Lightning Shot

This is my first lightning shot in my entire photography history. It was capture on 17 Nov 2009, around 7pm just outside of my window. That night, the lightnings strike many times, as if the whole sky is going to collapse.

Bukit Timah Reserve

Today (17th Nov 2009), I spent the whole day re-visited Bukit Timah Reserve. The last time I visited there was two years back. I walked for almost 4 hours. Chosen tracks that I had not walked before. Captured quite few good shots. I posted some of them here first. The rest will be uploaded in future.

Strangely, I saw some animals that were rarely seen somewhere else in Singapore. Such as the little green snake, the rare color kingfisher, monitor lizard and local monkeys. The ant eater, owl and tiger were the stuffed animals displayed in the visitors' center.

Photo Art

If you believe everyone has his talent, then give him the opportunity, he would shines like the sun in his own way. Look around yourself, there are so many colours around you, they are contributed by various types of life form.

Photo-poem

Here is another photo-poem in Chinese. The shot was taken with Canon S90.

Life is an illusion

Life is an illusion, but people always take it so hard, and results to tragedies. You may not agree with me, but if you believe it's real, you would get hurt easily.

门之外 (Outside of the door)

人过不惑之年，感触良多。每日阅报，总见各种不幸的事，满眼扑来。人生， 真的如此痛苦吗？若想深一层，其实真正的关键，是社会的制度， 造成种种人为的压力， 令一些心理较为薄弱的， 感到事事皆不如意，各种不幸的事，便层出不穷。 唉哉！

Photo Art

To add value to this photograph, I added some wordings to enhance the visual impact. The photograph was heavily PS at post photographic stage.

Chinese Poem

Taken this shot at Fort Canning Park, came back added in my poem.

Blood Tests

Recently, I felt that it was time for me to go for a blood test, as there were so many sudden deaths happened these days. The deaths could be cost by lipids or cholesterol particles. Without the blood test we would not be able to find out the contents in our blood.

So I went to my neighborhood doctor and requested the test. The most painful thing was not the needle, but the pre-test fasting. I need to fast for 12 hours before the test.

Finally the tests results came back. Hooray! Everything is within the normal standard. I am very pleased with the record. I also realized that it could be my regular exercise that contributed to these good results. My HDL Cholesterol is 56 mg/dl which is 32% more than the norm. The bad Cholesterol (LDL) is 116 mg/dl, which is 11% less than the norm. Glucose in blood is on the low side, that means the risk of diabetes would not be high. Despite of my drinking habit, my liver is fine (Refer to Liver Profile). The only concern is the Uric Acid, which is near to the norm; but comparing with my previous record, it was far lower than before.

See, for those who do not like to do exercise, this old man has proven that exercise, especially regular exercise really improved one's health!

Lonesome Town

This was a song sang by Ricky Nelson in the early 60s.The title is lonesome town. It was also my second English song that I came across at that time.

So surprise that someone has this clip and uploaded it on Youtube.

Photographic Work

These are my two latest shots will Chinese poems on them. Hope you enjoy them visually.
