Staying on top

1953: Hillary and Tenzing conquer Everest
The New Zealander Edmund Hillary, and the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, have become the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest on the Nepal-Tibet border.They reached the top of the world at 1130 local time after a gruelling climb up the southern face.

The two men hugged each other with relief and joy but only stayed on the summit for 15 minutes because they were low on oxygen. Mr Hillary took several photographs of the scenery and of Sherpa Tenzing waving flags representing Britain, Nepal, the United Nations and India. Sherpa Tenzing buried some sweets and biscuits in the snow as a Buddhist offering to the gods.They looked for signs of George Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine who had disappeared in 1924 in a similar attempt to conquer Everest, but found nothing. Then they began the slow and tortuous descent to rejoin their team leader Colonel John Hunt further down the mountain at Camp VI.

When he saw the two men looking so exhausted Col Hunt assumed they had failed to reach the summit and started planning another attempt. But then the two climbers pointed to the mountain and signalled they had reached the top, and there were celebrations all round. story from: BBC English

Outback From The Red Planet

Hey nice present flight to The Red Planet, freezing breeze hit my skin but overwhelm with love. Drove through cold air to a beautiful Port Lincoln - Lovely Jasmin said "Mac, Mac". Fishing in the middle of the ocean, seals laid by the shore. Said hi to a lonely Dolphin. walked along in the middle of desert heap of sand dunes and a dead kangaroo in the bush. Black Jack night with TK and his mates. Caught ton of fishes in the next morning - Salmons bleeding on my shoes, Rainbow curve around the sky, flew back after sun rise in a next morning.

Back for D&S party, the best costume was Nana's - open freezing cold sky at midnight. Sit & chat around the Bonfire. Riku woke us up with her loudly purred - breathing fog in the sack. Dinner at Kevin's - I love fish, You love it?? Shopping for the next century - lovely dinner with Doug and Jess - nice f--king spicy Indian's, love it. Adelaide Gaol was creepy though. Dinner at Tim's - Good Job Tim! share thoughts with everybody, nice!

Sydney in early morning - Opera house, Sydney Bridge and Beers, perfect! bad weather never stop the drinker! Taronga zoo next! All animals were freezing cold, poor chimps. nice apartment we have, thank to Doug. Ran through the storm back for yummy dinner - flew back the next day

Drove to McLaren Vale taste some wines, such a beautiful scenery. Nice talk with the guy at Samuel Gorge's winery. Back in the city - Tale from the Earthsea, we watched. shop till you drop, we marched. Nana brought us luck - Sam won the pokies 600 bucks, thanks Nana!

The coldest morning in 28 years in Adelaide - back to warm earth, sweat filthy pollution - hot ass! Bangkok city of Angels - see you later take care

An Invisible wave

Last week on May,16th Thousand of Bangkok Bloggers fled swaying high-rise office buildings, included me. An earthquake of magnitude 6.1 in Laos that cause the shaking. Well I felt happy and scared in the same time, because I've got good news about my visa to Australia while the whole building was shaking, confused, what should I feel?

Anyway last Friday I went to Rape Da Nu Rave Party at Cafe' De Moc, it was fun seeing old friends. Take care, see you next time.

A Quiet Storm

He has been working over there more than 4 months and now back to work in Bangkok office 'cos low season. didn't mention that a friend of mine-a programmer just quit last week also - well, pretty good huh?

Like a Raining Stars

When photographing stars, you can either get a star "field," a static snapshot of the stars as points of light, or star "trails," where the stars' movements streak across the sky. How long you expose the image determines which you get.

The first rule of thumb to remember is that the Earth rotates such that the light from a star begins to "move" after about 30-40 seconds. (It's apparent movement is largely dependent on your lens—the longer the focal length, the more apparent the movement; the wider angle lenses won't show much movement till later because of the star point is so small.)

Part of your experimentation will be to gauge the timing for how much "trail" you want.

New Home

The amazing Stephen Hawking once said "The long-term survival of the human race is at risk as long as it is confined to a single planet. Sooner or later, disasters such as an asteroid collision or nuclear war could wipe us all out. But once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe."

My wife and I found the new apartment to move in next month - we're so happy and this weekend it's a long weekend so we're celebrating. This is how we live and surviving in Bangkok! - Keep moving up, live it up and keep looking up!

Have a good weekend my friends - See ya

Supernova

A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas) is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object that is initially made of plasma—an ionized form of matter. A supernova may briefly out-shine its entire host galaxy before fading from view over several weeks or months.

Information from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova

Yesterday one of my colleagues quit. I don't know much about the reason why she quit, but everything come and go, right? Like a Supernova, it's just only the time, only when.

I'm gonna miss you - see you later!
