A New Journey: June 2008
http://retirementlifestye.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Often heard of Financial and Time Freedom? How to live it? Also being more aware of the environmental impact humans have caused, I begin to seek a more eco friendly approach to living. Monday, June 2, 2008. Life is for Living and NOT Working. Life is for Living and NOT Working"; a quote I picked up from a forex guru. A nice line isn't it? I suspect many would like to live it too. But how to achieve it? I felt it that way for much of working life. So life without a job is a big step away! North East of Ba...

DIY, Tech Tips & Thoughts: A Chemistry Experiment
http://my-diy-center.blogspot.com/2011/03/case-of-chemistry-experiment.html
DIY, Tech Tips and Thoughts. A walk through my thoughts and experiences here. Being hands-on is a necessity to the success of your bird house. Monday, March 7, 2011. A reader wrote with this opening line, "I would think that a flood of swiftlet farmers would make a beeline to join your network.". I listened to Professor Peter Singer, a philosopher at Princeton University, delivered an address on "Ethics and Evolution" at Sydney University the other day. Sure, we behave like that, don't we? Often there ar...

A New Journey: September 2008
http://retirementlifestye.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Often heard of Financial and Time Freedom? How to live it? Also being more aware of the environmental impact humans have caused, I begin to seek a more eco friendly approach to living. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. A Philosophical view towards life. When you wake up one day and realize time is ticking against you. you will treasure every day even more. We normally read accidents and illnesses that happened to others, not us. A reality no one can escape from. Read about the First Emperor of China? Looking ...

North of Bangkok & beyond: January 2009
http://travels-north-of-bangkok.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
North of Bangkok and beyond. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Road Trip 2008 - Part 6, Wat Rong Kun. Wat Rong Kun is like no other temple in Thailand. Why? It is an expression of art rather than a place of worship. Hence one may not see monks and their living quarters around. It is a vision of artist Chalermchai Kositpipat who dedicate this work to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Poster boy Khun Charlermchai himself. The magnificent sight of Wat Rong Kun came to sight with visitors streaming in. Gold, al...

Java: Short visit to Jakarta & Bandung
http://travels-indonesia.blogspot.com/2008/11/short-visit-to-jakarta-bandung.html
The densest populated island in the world. Friday, November 14, 2008. Short visit to Jakarta and Bandung. Whenever I traveled to Jakarta, I would spend a day or 2 at Bandung about 2 hrs away. Bandung, the 4th largest city of Indonesia of 2 millions, is elevated at 768M (2,520ft). So it's the cool climate there that appeals. Besides, reports of rains and floodings around Jakarta don't sound encouraging this time. Situated in a basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. Pay only what you eat. Stopped over to ...

South of Bangkok & beyond: October 2008
http://travels-south-of-bangkok.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
South of Bangkok and beyond. My photo travel journals south of Bangkok and southern provinces. Surely I skip the 3 provinces of the deep south where separatists fight for independence. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Coastal drive - Ban Laem to Hat Chao Samran. I've driven the 30km stretch of coastal roads between Ban Laem and Hat Chao Samran many times over. I would always take my time without any hurry and enjoyed scenes along the way. Can't explain why high concentrations of it leads to pink! It brings li...

My Hobby Farms: A lazy Sunday morning
http://my-swiftlet-farm.blogspot.com/2011/07/lazy-sunday-morning.html
This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Sunday, July 31, 2011. A lazy Sunday morning. What else better to do than to laze in bed on a wet Sunday morning, until someone called me out. It was Chang Noi seeking permission to fish. He is back to build a new bird house nearby and extends him an open invitation to fish at my farm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). North Queenslan...

My Hobby Farms: January 2010
http://my-swiftlet-farm.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
This has become a hobby farm. Over time, more activities has evolved and extend beyond swiftlet ranching. The theme remains centered on ecological and sustainable living. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Having been away much of Nov, construction of the adjoining insect feeding room was delayed till Dec. I decided to extend it all the way to join up with the bird house - making it 12m x 11m x 4m. The builder used concrete pipes to make up the columns - a clever approach I think. Near Khao Yoi (between Samut So...
