.Like the flowing river.

Be like the flowing river,
Silent in the night.
Be not afraid of the dark.
If there are stars in the sky, reflect them back.
If there are clouds in the sky,
Remember, clouds, like the river, are water,
So, gladly reflect them too,
In your own tranquil depths.

-Manuel Bandeira-


Reading under the Bol-kot tree with bol-kot flowing down as the wind blows really makes one feel so at peace and tranquil. :)

Korean music class was cancelled today, so I took the chance to start reading 'Like the flowing river' just outside my dorm, under the cherry blossom tree. :p

The weather is cooling and nice. Von, it reminds me of the time when I was reading The Shack at the patio of your house in Janda Baik, last August. The only thing missing then was the bol-kotsss. :p


This is how it looks like when I looked up. But the camera cannot capture the beauty that the eyes see....



Teck Fann accompanied me for a while, practicing some Korean songs with me :p



Tea time :p


:)


she decided to be a little adventurous by trying out the bol-kot...

..While the rest of the guys went for soccer game :p I'll join them next time, just not in the mood for the game today.



..with Duyen before she left for the game..


This is right outside my dorm

i'm glad you're having some time off there. meeting new people and learning new things. i felt how you feel. sometimes reading a book, makes us think and reflect, even when the story is no where related. but it gives you time for yourself. having soft wind blowing feels calm and peaceful too. just that the wind in US, is not so soft...hehehe

i think if you're here, might blow you away :P

:) von, it's really nice especially when the cherry blossom petals falls as the wind blows... yet, am sad that the flowers are fast disappearing... i think, by next week, prolly monday or so, all will be gone. it'll be replaced by the leaves, as it is, the tree already looks half green now...

i'm glad you're having a good time in US.. :p
