From Male Airport to Sun Aqua Vilu Reef.


Photo 1/2: Male Int'l Airport has renamed itself from Ibrahim Nasir Airport to Valena Airport from 1/1/17.  Besides the renaming, large area of reclamation and the airport modernization with a new terminal connected to the seaplane docking area.  The bridge linking Male Airport and the Capital city is taking shape and so soon the development will bloom this capital city.

What a nice and refreshing coconut welcome drink.
I think you end up staying outside more than in HK.

In fact, this is something interesting about how a person's behaviour is seen. If I post some of my work, you may think I'm workaholic. Or if I post some of my cookings, if you may think I'm a Kitchen addict.
Actually this blog was first started with posting some food as committed to some friends of mine. Ends up some friends or family members around would think I have eaten like that every day and have some unnecessary speculation. Do I eat at Mandarin Oriental every day?
What's more, some of my old friends know me I'm 100% opposed to photography because it violates the laws of nature and disrespect to the Creator as we record the light particles. Life is moving forward with time and physics. We shouldn't copy our life.
Unfortunately, when I often share this kind of thinking with the others, I would be treated as an outsider. Reality is the reality. I have to compromise and also to learn how to become a person in the human community. So I have to practise on how the others live, behave and interact with the others. I feel like I am the alien in this Earth. I even told some of my very old friends if one day an extra-terrestiral intelligence would ask me if I would visit their world, my answer is yes. My family members think I'm a bit too crazy. I told them we feel sad because we can't let go. We can't let go because we are greedy. We are greedy because we are afraid of emptiness. When we are coming out of emptiness, why are we afraid of emptiness. All because of our biting the apple and making us feel wanting for something. Excuse me for expressing this but this is the main essence of the 2 leading religions. The apple is the dust. If we don't have the apple/dust, why bother to have the worry of emptiness.
During the past 30 years, I was just another person because of reality. When this reality comes to an end, I'd like to go back to zero - no feeling, no happiness, no emptiness.
After all, if I am still breathing, I hope to balance out something to share with the others about the chemistry of journey of life - how I title this blog as journestry (journey in chemistry).

I totally agreed with you Sea.
How we see things from what perspective and angle determines what we can see.
Just like sometimes we see eclipse and sometime a full moon although it is still that same moon.
That is why sometimes our eyes and ears are all deceiving.
