Gear In Shade

| December 20th, 2010

A nearby neighborhood half-shaded area exhibits a parking lot for bikes of all color & sizes.

When was the last their owners took their gears for a spin?

I wonder if bikes ever feel lonely or abandoned….

the beautiful life

| December 16th, 2010

amidst all the challenges and rush, such songs make me think of all the beauty the universe has in store. breathtaking wide open skies. the freshest air in our lungs. the calming sight of neverending seas. the comfort of wind in the face. the list could go on.

A Dose of Hong Kong!

| December 14th, 2010

NEU FISH! is an international melting pot! How can the party start without Hong Kong & China?

Quite excited. Hope you like my contributions and inspirations.

More to come.

most of the balinese lead very hard lives. they don’t live grandly. they can’t afford to. most of them are busy chasing to meet even the most of their basic needs like for example, earning enough to put food on their tables. i sense alot of sadness in them, in particular, the rice farmers. these farmers, i feel, have it the hardest. they have to wait 3 months to get paid, after the whole harvesting is done. most of their time is spent in the excrutiating heat, far away from the main city centre. alot of time is wasted, waiting for the days to pass before the next time they get paid.

is this all they really live for? imagine what their lives would be if they lived in a world of more opportunities.

Mount Batur, Bali, Indonesia

| December 4th, 2010

The third trip to Bali saw us paying a visit to Mount Batur and her magnificence for the second time. Nothing beats the feeling of being able to witness such grandness in the most natural surroundings, with fresh air in your lungs and the cool weather kissing your face. Of course, videos do not do justice to Mother nature’s wonders.

I backed this video with the sounds of traditional Balinese Gamelan music. With the music, I find myself getting somewhat “into” the video, almost in a “hypnotised” state, especially during the parts where the video is being zoomed in.

Anyways, to quote Wiki, “Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia. The south east side of the larger 10×13 km caldera contains a caldera lake. The inner 7.5-kilometer-wide caldera, which was formed during emplacement of the Bali (or Ubud) ignimbrite, has been dated at about 23,670 and 28,500 years ago. The lake, Danau Batur, is the largest crater lake on the island of Bali and is a good source of fish.
