This is the second original video clip from ColinJong.com.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I miss this sound of the dripping water, therefore I bring it back to Kuching. Actually, I am not only able to listen to it in Kuching, but anywhere as long as I can access the video clip.

What can you imagine when you listen to this water dripping sound? I feel that I am in a quiet jungle, where there is a bird making similar sound. The leaves of the trees in this jungle are not totally blocking the sunlight. The sun shines on me and I am enjoying the fresh air. I sit down on a piece of wood and talk to the plants and animals in the jungle. SiewPeng and I are listening to their magical stories.

Althought it is just an imagination, we hope that we can enjoy the nature, peace and harmony.

This is the first video hosted on ColinJong.com.

You may say that this video clip is meaningless, but there is something meaningful to us.

It is SiewPeng’s metronome in Ipoh now used by her sister as well to practice on piano. On our last trip to Ipoh, with the new camera in my hand, I have something in my mind that is telling me to take as many photos and videos in Ipoh. When we are in Kuching, sometime we may miss Ipoh, then we can have a look on the photo or watch the video that we have taken in Ipoh. SiewPeng misses her home very much and what I can do to help her is to capture things virtually. We are working hard to accumulate more financial power, by then, we can fly anytime to anywhere. SiewPeng won’t have to miss her home anymore.

I miss the water dripping sound in the bathroom at SiewPeng’s home in Ipoh, and I have brough it back to Kuching virtually. I will show you on the next post.

I saw this metronome many time in SiewPeng’s home but I don’t know what it is until I show SiewPeng the software that I used to create midi. I was silly and thought that is was something that measure the air-pressure and I wondered why there were different name for different air pressure. I was surprised weeks ago when SiewPeng show me how it works mechanically because I found that what I guess was not true.

The metronome is related to time. If I just shoot on the metronome, doesn’t it too lonely? Therefore, I made the pumpkin to accompany him. The pumpkin help to fill up the space in the movie clips to create a balanced effect.

Can we break the limitation of space and time? Yes, we can. We can use technology such as computer, webcam and mic to see and talk to our dearest friends and family who are thousand miles away, but it is virtual and not real, What can we access are the images and sounds that produced by computer. It is still better than nothing.

We can go back to the past by having a video camera, camera, voice recorder etc. The experience may not be as real as the actual moment, but it can lead our memory, feeling and emotion to go back to the past. I hope I can take more photos on our family members both in Kuching and Ipoh, but it seems that not everybody like to have their photo taken especially when they are not prepared or when they haven’t put extra colours to their face. :p

1. Thanks to HoewSiong for introducing me the video player.

2. To my web hosting service provider, you don’t have to worry that I will kill your server because my traffic is not high YET. Could you give me solution when the time the server cannot support? A dedicated server may be?

I still prefer to host the video myself, first the video is belong to me, and second it loads faster for local visitors.
