Massive terror tyme USA-style

Back in history 64 years ago. Exactly Aug. 6, 1945.
A visit drop by Little Boy that carried an explosive that yeild 15000 tons of TNT.

After the visit, 90,000 people varnished from the earth's face just by one second. A month later another 145,000 lives gone.

See the video. I only see it once. I cannot see it the second round. I don't dare, too scary for my small heart.

"A bomb can now be manufactured which will be 25000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima." - Betrand Russell

Hopefully what Clinton did today, going all the way to N-K, will benefit all mankind.
Hopefully, that communis:t country will stop its nuclear activity.
Hopefully, when we die, we die peacefully...
Hopefully...

Number 53 tyme

Bukan sekalung rantai emas, bukan sebiji mata putih berkarat atau sebuah Honda Prelude...bukan, bukan tapi dua buah bergantungan dan berjuntai-juntai. Inilah hadiah istimewa itu. Hasil titik peluhnya sendiri.

That is goya grown especially for me. Goya or bitter gourd or peria. We are eating goya almost everyday now. Some Japanese eat it raw like salad but I do a half stir-fry and eat it still crispy. It is very bitter. But I'm used to the taste. I can't compare the Okinawa goya with the goya found in Malaysia simply because I forgot the taste of the Malaysia version.

When we were newly married, I could not hold hands like this. I was very conscious of people around us looking. Menyampah! Nak tunjuk-tunjuk!
But now, that doesn't bother me anymore. Holding each other is like eating and drinking after more than 27 years into the marriage.

My birthday dinner

Replying to a question in the previous entry from Sara atorako about halal food in Okinawa. So far no muslims have died of hunger in Okinawa. Even if there is no muslim shops in Okinawa, there are varieties of Japanese food that muslims can eat. If you insist on eating halal meat, go to the dining hall at Okinawa International Center (JICA) in Urasoe. That's the only place as far as I know that serve halal meat.
Hope your stay in Okinawa is pleasant.

Tatkala "Mother's Day"...

On this Mother's Day, one lump beating heart with one pack Kappa Ebi.

In between times

I'm stepping between two marks of time. One has gone yesterday and the other marking will come in another 48 hours.
One claims to be religious, denoting some events that happened 2009 years ago. Another one, also a holy mark of time that tells story of movement to betterment of humanity 1430 years.
Yet another one marking a man's glory to throne calling it The Year of Heisei, 21 years ago.



So what are all these time marks to me? Nothing much actually, I consider it just to make the record of events.
I don't need to start life afresh at the beginning of these time line. I start life everyday. Everyday is a new beginning.

Everyday, I tell myself to take care of what I eat. Everyday, I challege my limits and everyday I try to climb the tip of the rainbow to see the other side.
I don't say at the beginning of each time-mark that I am going to be better at this or do good at that.
I do it now and everyday. I don't plan the future. Each day comes and I take each day as it comes.



I don't need to wait for these artificial time-mark to wish friends and people good health and happy living, I do it everyday.
I don't need to wait after passing the time-hurdle to say I will improve the quality of life or I will challenge my capabilities or I will climb the rainbow, I do it everyday.

Why do I wait?
EVERYDAY is the time.
