As usual, my twin sis’d like to take a day off to rest. But yesterday didn’t wear me out so I decided to take a leisure stroll alone. And the destination I picked was the nearby Cumberland State Forest. I was at the bus stop around 10AM but had to wait for so long that […]
My company organized a 2-day trip to trek Ta Nang for managers. Despite advice to practice before the trip, I didn’t think it would be as hard a the hikes/treks I did in Kangding, Danba, or Garzê (all in Sichuan province of China) in 2009. Turned out I was wrong somehow. The day before the […]
🏔️🚶⛵ No mountain is too steep for those who climb, No ocean too vast for those who dare its tide. // 山高自有客行路，水深自有渡船人。 Shāngāo zì yǒu kè xínglù, shuǐshēn zì yǒu dùchuán rén. // Sơn cao tự hữu khách hành lộ, thủy thâm tự hữu độ thuyền nhân. // Núi cao ắt có đường người qua, […]
👣🌊☁️ I’d go out for a walk alone when I so please, What a pleasure this brings, only I would know. I’d stroll to seek the fountainhead, And there take a seat to admire the sky and watch clouds grow. // 興來美獨往， 勝事空自知。 行到水窮處， 坐看雲起時。 Xìng lái měi dú wǎng, Shèng shì kōng zì zhī. […]
In order to be present at Sentosa Island early, I decided to skip the breakfast somewhere not near the 5footway.inn. Unluckily, Singapore seemed to be a country that woke up late though the Sentosa pass said they operated from 8:45am. Around 9:30am we changed the tickets and took the cable car to see what Sentosa […]
🌸☘️🌼 Please grant the four seasons, The earth and sky calm the wind. On the earthly path you tread, Golden flowers in full bloom. // Xin cho bốn mùa Đất trời lặng gió Đường trần em đi Hoa vàng mấy độ (Hoa Vàng Mấy Độ – Trịnh Công Sơn) P.s.: Picture taken in Moc Chau, […]
No need to go to Hà Giang to see buckwheat flowers, no need to go to Thái Bình for mustard flowers, no need to go to Đà Lạt for wild sunflowers. Soon, there will be cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms, and mountain ebony flowers right here. // Không cần đi Hà Giang cũng có hoa tam […]
😍🗣️✔️ You are so pretty, you say everything right. // 你这么好看，说什么都对。 Nǐ zhème hǎokàn, shuō shénme dōu duì. // Nhĩ giá ma hảo khán, thuyết thậm ma đô đối. // Bạn đẹp thì bạn nói gì cũng đúng. P.s.: Picture taken in Moc Chau, Son La, Vietnam in 2017.
🍁❄️🤗 秋の红叶も冬の雪も あなたと见たい あなたといたい。 // I wanna see both autumn leaves and winter snow with you. // 秋天的红叶冬天的雪 都要和你去 都要和你在一起。 Qiūtiān de hóngyè dōngtiān de xuě dōu yào hé nǐ qù dōu yào hé nǐ zài yīqǐ. // Thu thiên đích hồng diệp đông thiên đích tuyết đô yếu hòa nhĩ khứ đô yếu hòa […]
