Kenny G - for my NEW phase to GREATNESS!

When my life WAS full of hope and dreams.

In my hopelessness and nightmares, Kenny G comes into my life with his magical instrument 🎺🎼🎷 to lead me out of these. Kenny G saves my life and sanity with his musical masterpiece 😇 His music is a true art work. His personality completes all. I wish Kenny G would have come much earlier. A lot of grief may be relieved. From my positive personal experiences, I believe, most happen for a reason and better late than never. I am also aware of some thoughts. To those who are religious, one may wonder that I am idolising false 'Gods'. However, is it possible that Kenny G may be God sent to me? 

Thank you Kenny G for coming into my life and helping me cope my adversities. Please continue your invaluable gift that you are born for eternity ;-)


Despite my unexpectedly gloomy present yet, I have to put on of whatever remains, into my best presentation. This is to rid negativity and to fully utilise this moment. It is also to absorb as much positive energy and to project optimism simultaneously 😎

I am NOT musically inclined. I am reluctant to attend. However, one person brought me. Reluctantly, I went.

After the concert, I did NOT want to attend the autograph and photo session. I am not a fan. A chain of events change my decision. With Kenny G’s obligation to meeting ALL his fans, all are calm. Surprisingly, I am excited. Then comes the photo fail by the event staff. With no photo, my whole world almost came crumbling down. In my own chaos, I ran up the stage and beg for another opportunity. This caught Kenny G’s attention. With great concern, he asks, “What happened?” The event staff explained the situation. In his humble self, he immediately said, “Sure can!”

Here I am today. Kenny G is now my NEW role model. In turn, Kenny G has got another fan in me. I would like thank you, Kenny G, for this eternal memory.

I would also like to thank my other one person for bringing me to this concert 
😇 

I am invaluably grateful for this unexpectedly and eternally inspiring and motivating experience.

Your eternal style has inspired my creativity.

Since concert day, I have been playing your music as soon as my day starts. It gives me motivation and optimism in my present life struggles. You are making a positive difference in my life. TQ Kenny G! Now, I look forward to every 'Morning' xoxo

You are giving me strength and energy to put my 'Heart and Soul' into my passion regardless of any daily adversities. 

My first Christmas 'When Kenny G is Coming to Town' ;-P 



By sharing my experience, I sincerely hope, that lost trouble souls reading this may discover avenues to cope with your life struggles like I do. Even though your journey is still turbulent with unexplained obstacles, you are now steering through with greater determination and confidence to reach your chosen destination  I will meet you there!

Get a Grip!


My Merit is wearing abnormally internally. This may be due to the shoe design NOT compatible with my feet structure. After one year of searching, I finally selected Skechers GO FLEX Walk. I like this shoe due to it exceptional grip on all urban surfaces yet. On the choice of colour, I choose my favourite blue. These other colours are black and gray. Gray brings out the shoe design. However, I do not want my life to be ‘gray’.  On the other hand, being ‘a little boy blue’, I can have the best of both worlds. In the day, my shoe colour is blue. By night, it looks black at a glance. I will have to admit that it is not as comfortable as Merit. One has to bear in mind that both have different strengths and functions. To date, I am unable to find a shoe with ‘the best of both worlds’ in this aspect. Regardless, presently, I am feeling as happy as when I purchase my Highlander.

I like the Quick-Fit portal ;-P

ALL-time Favourite Jet

GRUMMAN F-14A & D Tomcat.

You will ask me, "Why do you like the Tomcat?". During its service life, it is the MIGHTIEST in its field. Below are its might: 

1)   Highest Speed - It has the highest speed of any carrier borne aircraft at Mach 2.34!

2)   Furthest BVR Missiles - It is the ONLY aircraft to carry the longest Beyond-Visual-Range range air-air missiles, HUGHES AIM-54 Phoenix. It has a range of 160km.

3)   VF-111 Sundowners - This is my most ferocious squadron markings. It boosts my spirits every time I look at it. 


This is the story of, 'Miss Molly'.

“Miss Molly” is named after Navy nurse Molly Snead,a long time nurse/aide to Senator Carl Vinson and his wife. Molly Snead christened the USS Carl Vinson at its launching and commissioning on March 15, 1980. Named after Senator Vinson in recognition of his contributions to the US Navy.

In conclusion, in a one-to-one air combat, I will down you along with the sun!



Ready to bite! 

 Hello Miss Molly! This is the CAG (Commanding Air Group) for this squadron.


VF-111 Sundowners aboard USS Carl Vinson in live action along with their 'friends'.



I will have to admit that these visuals are not to my expectations despite  searching extensively. So, at the time of writing, my favourite operational aircraft goes to this best navy carrier borne aircraft photo...

...the present Boeing F-18C Hornet of CAG VFA-34 'Blue Blasters' aboard USS Carl Vinson. I 'saw' this landing... ;-P Unfortunately, their present deployment will be their last... 😿




Boeing F-18C Hornet of CAG VFA-113 'Stingers' aboard USS Carl Vinson is my second favourite fighter squadron. 

United States Marines Corps VMFA-223 'Red Devils' Boeing F-18C Hornet in my favourite live action video 😃 

 United States Marines Corps VMFA-224 'Bengals' is my favourite OPERATING Boeing F-18C Hornet fighter squadron. 

 Proven survivability, versatility and reliability since the Gulf Wars are my main reasons for my liking 😉

Star Wars Episode VIII - MY Last Jedi

I have the impression the Star Wars franchise has achieve its goals because I am unable to search any official media for my review. I certainly did NOT look forward to this movie when I was given an invite. The force is true. So my review is the same as the last. Enjoy Star Warriors!
