THE OWNER
blogging serves as a memory machine that helped document the chronicles of the owner's life since 2005.
the owner has all rights to express opinions on this site and believes that no one should judge, comment and condemned because everyone have different perceptions of things around them.
running have always been and always will be the owner's favourite sport. in the past one year, the owner took up fencing, windsurfing and mountaineering to better help strengthen the body and mind. other sports that the owner loves are swimming, badminton, table tennis, xcountry, track and field, trekking, snorkelling, scuba diving, field hockey, biking, rugby. the sky is not the limit.
the owner has always been fascinated with music and believes that it is the universal language that gets across any barrier. all time favourite genres includes pop rock, punk rock, classical, flamenco and acoustic being the current one. guitar, the chosen instrument, has been with the owner since may 2007. all-things-guitar are self-taught, as the internet is a wonderful source of learning.
the love for travelling, the owner believes, has been nearly-explicitly written down on this blog. "the love for travelling" is actually an understatement, for the owner live to travel. the places that the owner have been to, although not that many yet, are pieces of puzzles that have taken their place in the owner's heart and soul and words are certainly incomparable with actual experiences.
photography has since played a major part in documenting the owner's travel experiences. thanks to the invention of cameras, the ability to capture emotions and actions of people and the awe of mother nature are made possible. a picture, and may the owner say a good one, paints a zeallion words. and that is the beauty of photography.

backon the occasion of the 500 day countdown to the opening of the beijing olympic games, the organizing committee for the games of the XXIX olympiad (bocog) unveiled the games medals. the medal for the beijing 2008 olympic games is designed with inspiration coming from 'bi', china's ancient jade piece inscribed with dragon pattern. The medals, made of gold and jade, symbolize nobility and virtue and are embodiment of traditional chinese values of ethics and honor, sending forth strong chinese flavor. the medals are 70mm in diameter and 6mm in thickness. on the front side, the medal adopts standard design prescribed by the International olympic committee. while on the back, the medal is inlaid with jade with the beijing games emblem engraved in the metal centerpiece. the design inspiration of the medal hook derives from jade 'huang', a ceremonial jade piece with decoration of double dragon pattern and 'pu', the reed mat pattern. noble and elegant, the beijing olympic games medal is a blending of traditional chinese culture and the olympism. it gives the winners of the games great honor and acclamation as recognition of their achievement. source: http://en.beijing2008.cn/spirit/beijing2008/graphic/n214070893.shtml
