Vietnam Museum of Ethnology

October 31, 2010 by kianhong

I love to visit Museum no matter which country I go. There are just too much national treasure to explore, be it a collection of fine arts, artefacts, weaponry, mummies or in this case here – sexually explicit wooden carvings. Unlike other museums that I have visited before, Vietnam Museum of Ethnology offers a very different [...]

Medieval stained glass window

October 21, 2010 by kianhong

  I’m always attracted to these colorful stained glass window whenever I pass by churches. From TV and historical books, I saw many more beautiful stained glass windows with saints, scriptural texts and floral motifs. I used to wonder why these elaborate windows only appeared in cathedrals or chapels of unique but similar architectural style. And it was not [...]

没有你, 路怎么走?

October 17, 2010 by kianhong

没有你, 路怎么走?   爸走了, 都快三年. 看见这张照片, 我想起了爸, 也想起了妈. 夫妻厮守了大半生, 其中一方的离去, 对另一半来说, 何止是心理的打击而已. 以后的路要怎么走, 该怎么办? 这些无助, 彷徨与恐惧, 哪里是我们这些做孩子可以理解与感受的. 我妈妈虽是一位强悍的女人, 可是每当她想念或提起爸的时候, 总是眼泛泪光. 可是她从不在我们面前落泪, 我更不曾看见她哭泣过. 再过不久, 我们就要搬迁了, 妈也被逼要学开车, 以便以后可以自行上班. 妈虽然二, 三十年前就领了驾驶执照, 可是自那时起就不曾握过驾驶盘. 爸还在的时候, 这份差事, 妈根本就不必操心. 平时上下班, 都是爸负责接送的. 妈是一名聪明的女人, 有些事, 她认为该留给男人去做的, 就让男人去做吧! 从使有些事自己能够做得很好, 也不会争着去办. 妈深知男人想要娶的, 不是喜欢与自己竞争的女人, 而是让男人觉得自己尽了做男人本份的女人. 你可以说这种想法很老套, 很大男人. 可是, 这无疑是两性相处的生活智慧. 这几年, 我看妈如何调适一个人生活, 勇敢的面对未来, 不禁心生敬佩. 在迫近退休年龄的时候重握驾驶盘, 是需要勇气的. 虽然我们几兄弟都很替她担心, 可是我们都以她为荣. 我会告诉爸, 前面的路, 我们会陪妈走下去的.

What do you want from me?

September 25, 2010 by kianhong

Hanoi, I’ve finally reached the famous city of Vietnam’s North. At 4:30 a.m., I was sitting in front of my hotel, located somewhere in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. The door was locked. It was a small hotel, where hotel’s staff was still sleeping. I enjoyed a good rest in the overnight train which brought me from Hue to Hanoi, surprisingly. The ride was [...]
