Dresses with interesting designs

Dresses with interesting designs

Many people took pictures of these dresses… interesting designs and fashion, though I have yet to see someone wearing them. Not sure how to describe them…geometrical?

Perfection versus excellence II

Perfection versus excellence II

Perfection versus excellence

*******

Scoring an excellence in masters

with a ‘Golden Key award’

yet there were many

edited grammatical errors

in papers submitted, then. 🤔

******

I supposed that was why

perfection was out of reach!

But I am still glad I was

among the  top 15%! 

*******

Until I read in a local paper

about a medical professor

who was also

a Golden Key award holder.

It reminded me of the days

when I dreamed of

becoming a professor, too 😞!

But at a time when motherhood,

and family were a priority!

******

Today I hold a title

higher than a professor….

******

Can you guess what it is?

MOTHER is still the prized title!

Flying without wings

Flying without wings

Flying without wings

Flying without wings” can mean achieving greatness or a feeling of euphoria through something other than physical flight, such as love, ambition, or spiritual fulfillment. It symbolizes transcending limitations and finding a sense of freedom and accomplishment through inner strength and unconventional means. The phrase can also have specific symbolic meanings in religion or be the title of the popular Westlife song, which is about finding the “one thing” that makes life complete.

Listen to my song:-

Flying without wings

Elderly people getting lost in another country’s hotel?

Elderly people getting lost in another country’s hotel

Forgetting which floor and  room door in a hotel

******

A dry cough behind me

as I stepped into a lift,

It was an old Chinese man with a hat

I tapped my room card

and pressed my floor number.

He stood still beside me…

******

I signalled to him to tap his card

and press his floor number.

He did and pressed

the same floor number as mine.

As we stepped out,

I let him move forward first.

********

I stood in front of the lift observing him

as he walked up and down the corridor,

and tried to open several room doors in vain!

This time I felt uneasy

I stepped back into the lift

and prayed that he didn’t follow me

again into the lift! 

******

I reported to the counter staff

“oh no! these old tourists!

…. always forget their floor number

or their room number!”

She sent a staff member to go check.

******

The next morning during breakfast,

my colleague told me,

” I saw the old man with a hat. He sat opposite me.  I gave him a tissue napkin. He carefully tore the napkin into two and gave back to me half of it!” 

*******

So sweet of him!

But why is he travelling

in another country, ALONE!

Learning Vietnamese songs

Learning Vietnamese songs

When I learned my first Vietnamese song,  it took me several weeks. I told my duet partner that I should perhaps try to sing short and easy kindergarten songs!

Khi tôi học bài hát tiếng Việt đầu tiên, tôi mất vài tuần. Tôi nói với bạn song ca của mình rằng có lẽ tôi nên thử hát những bài hát mẫu giáo ngắn và dễ nghe! (Google translate)

Until I feel in love with the next two songs.

Hear my vietnamese songs

Sound of silence

Sound of silence

Listen to my duet songs

sound of silence” (HELS) here

Silence

The Sound of Silence,” a song by Simon & Garfunkel, explores themes of social isolation, the inability to communicate, and the feeling of being disconnected from others and oneself…”

People, people everywhere,  yet so lonely on top!

Lonely on top

********

Ever experience?

it is high, up here, with a good view

but it is so lonely!

*******

In what situations can one find oneself like being alone on top of a mountain?

*******

Albert Einstein also famously stated, “It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely”.
