A walk in the neighbourhood with two German Shepherds

Friday is one of those days when I realised the wonders and joy of taking a shower. Well, in the morning, I decided to study first, with intermittent resting in between. The time is quite late when I decided to take a shower, and while showering is good, the feel after the rest is that of refreshment and rejuvenation. The environment may be the same, though the aura I felt is now of energy and life, much better and lighter. I feel younger too, even though I am considered young at my age. The feel of cool air on myself is truly invigourating after a shower. Yes, I should have taken a shower earlier. With renewed energy, I went to my studies.
After a while, I did some research on science, and I am glad for the new inventions on the horizon. For instance, light bulbs that is safer and long-lasting, yet requires less energy than our energy saving florescent light bulb. Biofuel technology is fast becoming a reality, with new development in corn storage tank and corn fuel, as well as enzymes that may be used to create the oil from plants. For now, I am imaging that enzymatic conversion of fuel to energy may be a safer way, cleaner and more efficient than burning fossil fuel. I think enzyme will be more responsive to biofuel instead of fossil fuel, and as biofuel are renewable and cleaner than fossil fuel, that may be a good way for technolgy to progress. This is promising as enzyme can be heat-resistant and manufactured easily.
The life-giving factor of the day is walking with my German Shepherd. While taking a shower and doing interesting research gives life to our existence, walking a German Shepherd is a joy that is truly serene, nature-embracing and lovely. I find great purpose in developing another life, as a German Shepherd needs exercise for its well-being. Walking with a German Shepherd is both good for the owner's health and the dog's health, and both the owner and the dog breeds a certain kind of compassionate bonding that is wonderful to experience. I am thankful to my parents for allowing me the joy of a German Shepherd. Sometimes, just observing them is a great joy, for life is a miracle, and being in the companionship of another life is truly healing. As for me, I love the times my German Shepherd ask for a belly rub, folds its ear in respect, raise its ear in alertness, shake my hand in politeness, wag its tail in joy. Even a German Shepherd breathing patterns is an experience to appreciate. The truly faithfulness and love a German Shepherd can showers on owners is an inspiring story by itself, and we humans should bolsters that for a meaningful and trustworthy life, whether in relationships or in business.
At night, I talked to my junior college friend, Ningyi, on the topic of religion, and well, we believe the experience is fruitful. For us, we live in Singapore, where all religion are embraced and expressed equally well, and I think that is a crucial step for peace in this world of diversity.
