Video of water-theme taken at Datai golf and country club and sunway pyramid’s buffet counter February 13, 2020 bizadmin The above video was assembled by me using an old video maker software for a 32-bit computer. That shows how old my laptop is and some of the keys have missing alphabets. This is a video of a water theme taken at Datai golf and country club in Langkawi and Sunway Pyramid’s buffet counter in Kuala Lumpur with a scene of the man-made waterfall among faux rocks. Using an old 32-bit video maker, I managed to combine 2 videos but was unable to add music to them. I had to purchase the tracks, which I refuse since I have Camtasia that I am going to install into the new computer using Windows 10 OS. [abc] I hope you like, subscribe and comment on the channel of Diana Tan’s Youtube and watch the video to the end. It is short, unlike some videos taking from 10 to 20 minutes long. This is my simple video created for posterity and to leverage in the future. As the Big G had mentioned, it prefers to have videos incorporated into blogs than just text or pictures. This is a new trend. So, I hope you enjoy my simple creation and I took a while to figure things out on my own using this Cyberlink Power Director. There is much other software for video creation like Content Samurai, Camtasia and more. Well, you will learn something here as you read my blog for knowledge. Happy watching and getting entertained. By the way, these are old videos taken from my iPhone X. [abc]
Check out this awesome video featuring the song, “Born Free” for the tired, weary, down and out people February 11, 2020 bizadmin A post shared by DTan (@philin135) on Feb 10, 2020 at 2:17am PST The above short video was created using Canva to showcase my various video channel that was uploaded many years ago and I wish to monetize them with affiliate links, Adsense and such. You can go to my channel here >> This will take time and it is a handful of people or rather Youtubers who have figured it out how to leverage on their videos. Overnight success takes time, and Rome was not built in a day! I had recently bought a course on Youtube making by Matt Par and Kindle Publishing today by Tyler Cohen. These courses are not cheap but they will inspire me to work at it in my own time and freedom. The above Youtube video means a lot to me as it was Whatsapp to me by my late dad who passed on due to a fifth heart attack on 17th December 2018. I was down at that point in time and dad, in his cheerful and healthy self then sent this beautiful “Born Free” song with colorful birds to cheer me up. [abc] I give credit to the person who created this video for many to share and be encouraged to continue the fight of life. Now with the Wuhan Coronavirus epidemic in Hubei province, I hope the coronavirus will be contained and wiped out soon. There is propaganda that a hidden nation is behind this, but I shall not comment about this. We know the devil came to steal, kill and murder. Hence, we need to claim on Psalms 91 – which is the scripture for protection. “A thousand may fall at your side, but it shall not come near you.” Below is my Youtube channel for more videos uploaded over the years >> HERE [abc]
Awesome Decorations in Straits Quay Mall in Penang February 8, 2020 bizadmin Above is a video created by me using an app from Instagram and transferred to Youtube for higher visibility and viewability. This is to increase the viewing time to hopefully 4,000 hours by the end of 2 years or sooner and to monetize it. The pictures were taken today including the video of the splendid bridge over a lotus leave and lotus flower pond with pebble stones. Some bamboo trees were also added as eye candy and for a more natural look of the bridge in China. The scenery reminds me of Hangzhou by the lake with a Chinese themed roof of green bamboo and red stilts or frames that complement each other. [abc] It is obvious that this is placed in a mall with high ceilings with strings of lanterns hanging down for more surround decorations. Since Instagram is square in shape, therefore, this Video is also square with a 16:9 ratio to meet the Youtube screen. Well, it is 5:45 am now and I have not slept since yesterday, trying to figure out how to convert my many videos into Youtube videos and monetize on them later on. In the meantime, enjoy the show!

Bad Boys for Life the 2020 Movie, Starring Will Smith January 28, 2020 bizadmin Set 17 years after the last film in 2020, Miami detective Marcus Burnett, who just witnessed the birth of his grandson, tells his partner Mike Lowrey his intentions to retire, much to Mike’s chagrin. After a celebration party, Mike is shot by an assassin named Armando. Armando had recently helped stage the prison escape of his mother Isabel Aretas. Armando was sent by Isabel to assassinate all of those responsible, including Mike, for the demise of the Aretas cartel run by her and her husband Benito, who was sent to prison and subsequently died. Despite being told to kill Mike last, Armando targeted him first as he deemed him the biggest threat to their plans. Armando proceeds over the next six months to assassinate everyone else responsible while Mike makes a near-full recovery. Mike demands Marcus’s help to catch the assassin, but Marcus decides to go into retirement, as after Mike’s near death experience Marcus prayed to God that if Mike survives he will never turn to violence again. This causes a fall out between the two friends. [abc] Despite orders from Captain Howard, Mike learns the identity of the arms dealer who sold the ammunition used in his assassination attempt, Booker Grassie. Howard reluctantly brings Mike as a consultant into the tech-driven Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO), led by Mike’s ex-girlfriend Rita. The team goes to a business deal Grassie is holding to obtain evidence to bring him in, but when Mike sees that the buyers are attempting to kill Grassie, Mike attempts but fails to save him. Soon after, Marcus receives a call from an old informant, Carver Remy, warning him that everyone who had protected him had been assassinated and asks for help. Marcus picks up Mike to go to Carver’s home only to see him thrown out and killed. Mike fights Armando and seems to recognize his eyes before Armando escapes. Sometime later, Captain Howard tells Mike it may be time for him to retire as well before he gets himself killed. Howard is subsequently killed by Armando with a sniper rifle. After the captain’s funeral, Marcus decides to help Mike out one last time. Marcus enlists the help of AMMO to track down Grassie’s accountant to find who was sold the ammunition. Marcus identifies the key suspect as Lorenzo “Zway-Lo” Rodriguez, someone Marcus used to coach basketball. They crash a birthday party for Zway-Lo, but Zway-Lo flees. Mike, Marcus, and AMMO give chase but are halted by Armando on a helicopter over the bridge. Armando kills Zway-Lo to get to Mike. Before trying to kill him, Armando says “Hasta el fuego.” Marcus, however, stops Armando with gunfire and Mike jumps into the river to escape. As AMMO is about to be shut down due to their recent failure, Mike explains to Marcus in private that Armando may be his biological son: Before he and Marcus were partners, he was recruited by Captain Howard out of the academy to infiltrate the Aretas cartel. Being deep undercover, he had an affair with Isabel, which led to the birth of Armando as Benito was sterile, and they used to say “Hasta el fuego” to each other. Despite promising to flee with her, Mike ultimately had her arrested as well as Benito knowing how dangerous she was. All of the previous victims killed by Armando were working on the same case. Mike decides to go to Mexico City to confront her alone, but Marcus and AMMO accompany him despite his protests. At the Hidalgo Palace, Mike scolds Isabel for not telling Armando the truth about his father and for raising him to be an assassin. A shootout occurs between AMMO and Isabel’s henchmen which ends when Marcus shoots the pilot of Isabel’s getaway helicopter, causing it to crash into the building setting it ablaze. While Marcus briefly incapacitates Isabel, Mike confronts Armando to try and convince him he is his father. Armando refuses to believe him until Mike insists that Isabel confirm it. Isabel shoots at Mike but strikes Armando instead, after which Rita shoots and kills Isabel. They all escape the burning building, where Mike tells Armando he will have to pay for his crimes, but Mike will be there for him. Sometime later, Rita is named the new police captain while Mike and Marcus, having decided to come out of retirement, are placed in charge of AMMO. Mike later visits a remorseful Armando in prison requesting his help on a new case in exchange for reducing his prison sentence. [abc]

Playing with Fire Starring John Cena January 19, 2020 bizadmin Superintendent Jake Carson (John Cena) is the commanding officer of a group of smoke jumpers in remote California woodlands. Carson is capable in a crisis and takes tremendous pride in his work, diving into dangerous situations to rescue civilians alongside his team – overtly loyal Mark Rogers (Keegan-Michael Key), nervy and neurotic Rodrigo Torres (John Leguizamo) and “Axe” (Tyler Mane), a huge mute who carries his fireman’s axe everywhere. After rescuing three children from a burning cabin, Carson is contacted by the universally admired division commander Richards (Dennis Haysbert). Richards praises Carson’s work and shortlists Carson for his replacement, Carson’s dream job. [abc] Rogers advises Carson that they are responsible for the welfare of the children Brynn (Brianna Hildebrand), Will (Christian Convery), and Zoey (Finley Rose Slater) under the “Safe Haven Laws”, which require law enforcement and first responders to care for children until they are released to a parent or guardian. Carson leaves a voicemail for the children’s mother who texts back saying that they are on their way. Carson’s attempts to complete his application for division commander are undermined by the children running haywire around the station, and the arrival of Carson’s ex-girlfriend, environmental Doctor Amy Hicks (Judy Greer), a local who protests the smoke jumpers taking water from endangered toad habitats to fight fires. Carson tries to offload the children onto Hicks, who refuses. Despite the mayhem, the rest of the smoke jumpers begin to bond with the children, with toddler Zoey warming up the brutish Axe and Torres teaching Will how to navigate dangerous situations. Brynn pays lip service to Rogers’ admiration of Carson, but then stages an escape on the station’s ATV, spilling oil and slashing tires to prevent chase. Carson catches them by off-roading on a little girl’s bike and corners the children on a dirt road. At Will’s prompting, Brynn admits that they are orphans on the run from foster care, fearing that they will be separated. The text messages were from Brynn herself. The group camp out overnight and Carson promises to hold off calling Child Services until after Zoey’s birthday in two days. [abc] The group goes all out in preparing for Zoey’s birthday, and the four smoke jumpers buy presents for Brynn and Will as well. Carson then tells Will a bedtime story about a yeti who was married to his job, had a son, and then died on the job because he was distracted by having a family. Brynn and Hicks are both touched by the story, which fits in with the circumstances of Carson’s father’s death and Carson’s inability to form relationships. The overboard birthday party is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Richards and Child Services. The children flee in Richards’ car and run off the road right on a cliff. Brynn is trapped in her seatbelt. Carson parachutes down to rescue them and with Will’s help, frees Brynn before the car can roll off the cliff. Back at the station, Hicks and the other smoke jumpers bid an emotional farewell to the children. Richards tells Carson that family can be a source of support and that there is more to life than working. Inspired, Carson refuses to release the children to Child Services under the Safe Haven laws and proposes a plan to adopt all three of them. Sometime later, Carson and Hicks get married to the smoke jumpers and their adopted children in attendance. [abc]
