Heart of a Champion

"Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation". This is the inspiring statement made Ms. Sam Wariner. Anyway, this video never fails to inspire me. Its about Bevan Doherty appearing being passed and drop by another racer and how from a far distance looks set to lose the race. But by not giving up and pushing and picking up the sprint pace, a champion emerged. Never quits even though it may seems that the race is over and taking second is the only chance....go for it until the victor is crowned.

Artificial Animal, No Batteries Needed!

I know this might be an old news, but I must say this is really fascinating. I was just looking around in youtube for some interesting video and stumble on this. Enjoy!

Theo Jansen, if you're unfamiliar, is the progenitor of Strandbeests--autonomous, wind-powered plastic tube creatures, many the size of elephants and larger, that this Dutch artist / engineer assembles to roam the beaches of Holland. And this is called Kinetic Sculptures.

Misty Hike

Well,

I always feels that I am pretty blessed to have a nature reserve 15mins away from my home. And of course, often times I kind of taken it for granted. Brought a bunch of new friends to Dairy Farm Quarry (nickname "Eco-Valley") yesterday morning.

Well, at 6.45am to 7.15am when the sun is coming up, this is what you get. Enjoy!
