Look after the cows!














Cows remind me of Sky's quote of Buddha: "No cow is better".

The other day I came across the turn around story of the Indian State Railway. It is a remarkable story that make Mr. Lalu Prasad, the current Railway Minister, a much sought after speaker these days.

He has a sense of humor when it come to cows :
"If we don't milk the cows fully, they become sick. If cows fall sick, farmers goes bankrupt and bankers loose money. So we better look after the cows".

So is no cows still better?

Here is a link if you wish to read more:

Well, I came across some appreciations of cows in art form.





























































































Imagine seeing these in open park grounds in Singapore!

Like to be painter?















Paint your dreams from what you see!

Or paint your dreams next to your bed.

Paradox of choice?

Life is full of paradoxes. I came across some funny cartoons that illustrates...















No offense to ladies, just humor.

My Forex Blog

Well, there is one more blog to cover another of my activity at:

http://my-trade-journal.blogspot.com/

Here I try to share some of my views and experience in the "deceptive" game of forex world. "Deceptive" seem to be an appropriate word here.. because each twist and turns of trading sessions seem fill with deceptions! Soon as you think you get the trend right, the market proves you wrong!

Don't touch it if you are not ready!

Not that simple as the graphics suggests, folks!

Swiftlet farms of Thailand

Folks, just to share another of my blog at

http://swiftlet-ranching-thailand.blogspot.com/

This site is not about DIY in swiftlet farming... just my general understanding about this industry in Thailand + setting up my farm in the near future.

Over the past year I have made contacts and cultivate friendships in Thailand. Thais are very friendly and helpful when they accept you as a friend. My biggest impression is their sincerity and warm hospitality!

A farming town in Petchaburi province, where I have made many new friends.

Thailand to me is an interesting country to visit and live. Surely you have been here many times. I would try to capture sights and share experiences many visitors may missed out here... where to go, what to see & eat.. + outside popular tourist places.

So welcome to the Land of Smiles again! Sawadee Krup.

Has fun time been over?

It's been a quiet time since the last post. Good to know Harry is still alive and kicking with his blog.

There is a feeling in the air DIY Swiftlet Farming has gone out of biz. Correct me if I am wrong & good luck to any who may have engaged his services.

What has become of those compilations: "Swiftlet farming hotspots" & "largest sound collection" in Asia? Talk is easy isn't it?

Everything just vanished into thin air... like water vapor! Hey.. tat's humidity isn't it?

Yo bro, it is easy to talk nonsense than sense, right?

So is fun time over? Yes, in a way with Sky's disappearing act. I disappeared too, but with pants on! Whenever I come across picture like this, I can't help but chuckle that reminds of SKY!



















Well, in between this time.. I'd been to the land down under and explored some of Victoria's coasts where Australia's first dinosaur bones were found. It's along the coast of Bunurong Marine Park between the towns of Inverloch & Cape Paterson; a lovely 12KM stretch of coastlines.

















At a spot named Eagles Nest, walking on the Flat Rocks at low tide was simply wonderful... looking at patterns etched onto rocks' face over the millions of years!














Mother nature's work of art!

Its massiveness projects a surreal feeling around.













To another lovely part of the world in Thailand... a place named Sangklaburi, 370KM & a 5hr drive north west from Bangkok. A mountainous region close to the Myanmar border & near one of Thailand's largest National Parks. It is also a place of displaced people; mainly the Mon and Karen tribes, many are without citizenships.
















Some said the 'low energy' of this place has special appeal. Hmm.. I am not a strong believer of 'feng sui'. My interpretation is 'low human activities' that has appeal to me... a small population and out of way for any industrial development. Outside town, local people lives in harmony with nature and some agriculture. Few lost souls from 'farang' lands chose to settle here too!

What a lovely spot! Sat here with beer watching the storm approached.














Many lives on floating raft houses along lake shore














One evening we rented a raft house.. towed to the middle of the lake for a night out. Guess the real motive? With my laptop and GPRS connection via a PDA phone.. I went online to do my forex right there! Wow.. it's quite incredible, middle of nowhere, I could trade as if in comfort of home... indeed a home away from home!

Of course I wasn't doing any serious trading, just testing out a mobile lifestyle I always dream about.

The most meaningful thing I learned from Buddhist philosophy is the impermanence of life. Everything in this universe has a beginning and an end. If fun time with this blog has come to a close... it simply marks the next journey in a new direction.

So for me another fun time has just begun!
