World War II - China Theatre and China-Burma-India Theatre

7 YouTube Clips:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcjVWe3xgAo&feature=related
（2) (Marco Polo Bridge Incident)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6z-fZwpmME&feature=related  (4) (Extremely Difficult Decision Made - Trade Space for Time)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKHk6eepm0E&feature=related (5) (Chongqing)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0hZiD5Uk5I&feature=related (7) (Roads to Victory)

Note (market2garden): The only time I couldn't stop my tears for the entire 7 clips was the fourth clip the part when the Chinese Leaders decided to trade space for time, and quite successfully rally the people for the strategy, simply because I believe no one could hundred percent guranttee this was really a good move as the enemy always have counter-measures.

罗文 - 倚天屠龍記 *电影
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yopM3RW0Kn4
曲詞：顧嘉煇/黃霑
情如網　困盡多少英雄 仇如劍　斷盡多少愛恨
人間高手一世英雄　亦免不了愛和恨
屠龍寶刀　弄不斷情仇相分　愛恨有誰可解　誰可無憾　
萬種恩　偏偏生千般恨　問你怎不痛心
情網困盡多少英雄　情愛偏会变仇恨

月亮的心 by market2garden (词曲):
你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分
仔细想一想，认真看一看
月亮代表我的心
深深的一个吻 唤起尘封已久的情
轻轻的一誓言 你我相恋到如今
我问你爱我有多深 你爱我有几分
细心想一想，齐去看一看
月亮代表你的心
月亮代表你我的心
注：曲跟原版有66%的相似度。创作(2007年)是一时兴起。

月亮代表我的心 (原版)：
你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分
我的情也真 我的爱也真
月亮代表我的心 你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分 我的情不移
我的爱不变 月亮代表我的心
轻轻的一个吻 已经打动我的心
深深的一段情 叫我思念到如今
你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分
你去想一想 你去看一看
月亮代表我的心

Thomson Road Grand Prix Circuit (The predecessor to Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix Circuit) and My Jogging Routine

As 2008 Singtel Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix (Marina Bay Street Circuit) started last night (Sep 26, 2008), the first night race in F1 race history, in actual fact this was not the first time having race circuit in Singapore. Why? Check this out.

Today, there are still runners running from MacRitchie Reservoir Park to Upper Pierce Reservoir Park, by running pass a certain part of the circuit, i.e. Circus Hairpin to Devil’s band, most dangerous section of the circuit. No doubt I jogged through the route previously (around 7 to 10 times), and finally decided this has to put as a stop.

Note:
From MacRitchie Reservoir Main Entrance Car Park to Circus Hairpin (Beginning of Old Thomson Road): 3.6km
From Circus Hairpin to Devil’s Band (Midpoint of Old Thomson Road): 1.4km

千王群英會

Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC) (Greek Philosopher)

1. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.
2. Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
3. Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
4. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not.
5. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then when comes evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

market2garden: Worthwhile to keep as a record, especially point number two for this particular moment.
