I am so happy as I now succeed to preserve, save, rescue my old audio CD’s without shooting, re-editing them again and upload them to You Tube. Otherwise I would lose them forever.
I have to overcome a lot of difficulties, tedious work which I willingly, patiently would do, such as knowing how to copy the CD to the computer, then one by one so tediously write the titles, otherwise you have no way which music you want to upload. Then pick up (browse) a suitable picture for the “Windows Live Movie Maker” to edit, then “add music”, that is tricking the Movie Maker into editing my audio CD - while it is refusing to edit my DVD and VCD - and search for the title of music you want to upload.
That’s easy enough, but now you must see to it that picture playing time, match music playing time.
But you can also take a video instead of a picture and so make a more fascinating video, with music and bird’s sounds for instance.
There’s a lot of fascinating movie making in store for me. This is an early version which I managed to turn out.

Lovely Sights
Seeing the “rambutan Aceh Lebak” tree with plenty of colorful fruits, abundant as bougainville flowers. Seeing lake Pamulang rippling as a beautiful giant carpet. Seeing storks slowly sailing by, high up in the sky. Looking at the full moon from below a tamarind tree, .. Suppose I were an artist, I’d like to paint them.
Happy to be welcomed by hundreds, thousands crème-colored wild flowers along the path-way. How pure, how fair, how fresh as a glorious morning. I name it the “Morning Glory” of Indonesia,
My Morning Glories
Yet, lovelier is the flower I met on the hill in Cinangka. Greeted with a charming smile as in a dream. Not dressed as stewardess, not educated as university student, not as Mona Lisa in a frame, not sitting in a luxurious Mercy, bare footed, without slippers, no make-up and just living in a bamboo hut. That’s, Eve, as jamu (bitter-sweet-hot drinks) vendor.
As a lotus flower in muddy waters, Eve is the most lovely, charming sight.

I love my choir. I have cared, “watered” them till they grow beautifully today after some 12 years by now. I would never willingly leave my choir to the care of another conductor, even though he might be better than I am. The choir would languish and die. Except if he/she could love this choir of old, uneducated, untalented singers more than I do. Yet, I don’t believe there is any one who ever would.
Is it wrong if I am so unwilling to step down? Could a loving mother ever leave the care of her children to another woman, even were she poor?
