Music
You guessed it: I am a music lover! Has music ever brought tears to your eyes? Music can certainly make me cry. It made my dad cry. And when my youngest was a mere baby, my wife had sung this mournful song to him and - to our utter surprise - tears were rolling down his cheeks! How does a child who is just a few months old understand happiness and sorrow? Even babies are spiritual beings!
Below is a list of songs that I dug out from Youtube. I have had to reject a few as the list was so long. You will probably be surprised at the type of music I like.
Enjoy!

Saigon Execution
This is a very famous photo of a Vietnamese police chief in Saigon executing a Vietcong prisoner.
And below is the video of it.
Watch what happens when a bullet goes into someone's head. His feet give way immediately and he drops straight to the ground. His heart continues to pump for a while and blood squirts from his head wound. I'll bet you have never seen anything like it and hopefully never will again.

Napalm Girl
A few blogs ago, I mentioned a Vietnamese girl who was hit by napalm. This is a video of that incident. Notice the skin hanging off the baby.
[From a young lady in Kuala Lumpur (5 May 2009):
I read ur updated blog… its … I should say … sumthing we will never know & do not bother to find out. I’m seriously type-less (speechless). What makes u to have interest in Vietnam’s war? Or wars? And where did u get all those pictures? From the books u read?
Da moment I saw da girl who took off her clothes when da fire is burning it, and she survives all those……, my life now, is nothing compare to her’s. I’m so lucky to hv what I had now….
Thanks…. ]
