Bamiyan Buddhas

Last week was Wesak day, a day to commerate the birth, enlightening and death of Lord Buddha. This year also happens to be the 8th year that the two Bamiyan Buddha statues were bombed and destroyed by Taleban in Afghanistan, due to fanaticism and intolerance. The monumental statues were carved out from a sandstone cliff in the beautifully stunning Bamiyan Valley and its still a shocker to see the huge voids that the statues once stood for more than 1500 years. Funny enough though, Bamiyan still has enough precious ruins to make it into the Unesco heritage list but now has losts its marvel without its most significant wonder. The valley is located along the silk route, drawings its heritage from the ancient west Asia and China.

Chakana - The South American Connection

Recently, I've received a souvenir from Mel who just came back from South America. The souvenir is a necklace with a Chakana symbol. Interestingly enough, I had very little idea what it is. However after a brief explanation, I had a better understanding now. Chakana or also known as an Inca Cross is an Andean symbol.

不想懂得 歌词 Lyrics

最近过年来，我天天都听988因为要吸收多点气氛吗！
反倒我就时时听到 Angela 张韶涵 的新歌。。不想懂得。
听下听下都不错哦。所以我就借此机会翻译这个歌。
Gonna try to translate this song to English to see how far I have improved in my mandarin.

Lucky Charm

This mini pendant is really special. Just how special is it? The white speck you see enclosed in the glass is a grain of rice. If you look closely, it has my name engrained on it!! (Bottom).

Another Chapter in Life

Have you ever reached a threshold in life that making the next decision will be extremely difficult?
Well I have one now, and I made a decision that will be important to me but will surely dissappoint them. One thing for sure though, they will still be closed to me now more than they have ever been.
I just want to dedicate a short paragraph straight from my heart to them.
-If you happen to think I'm describing you then you're right!-

To him, for being like a brother and stood there endlessly,
To her, for being my hands and feet and organizing things restlessly,
To him, for guiding me with work since as far as I can see,
To her, for being the only one who shares the same dialect as me,
To him, for firing me up with animes and games since joining definitely,
To her, for making Japanese cuisine so magnifique!
To him, for accompanying me for lunch daily,
To her, for the same reason as above mainly,
To him, for being the most conspicuous in the company,
To her, for distributing my drawings busily,

And to everyone else that I have failed to mention miserably,
But yet does not mean that they are less significant to me….

I want to thank you all for being there for me.
