She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
Call me "Mountain Tortoise"! Why did i not ever realised at one of my fave hangout that there lies a historical museum? Today, we celebrated dear sis's birthday at LingZhi, Far East Square. Somehow, it has became a tradition for us to go there for lunch or dinner for special occasions. Well then, when we got there, there was a flea market with vendors (like those outside Tanglin Mall) selling old stuffs. After lunch, we were walking around, trying to avoid indigestion when we came across this history museum...
Rainbow poster by TAMMY LUTKE Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby ii ii iii

Well I see trees of green and Red roses too, I'll watch them bloom for me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white And the brightness of day I like the dark and I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people passing by I see friends shaking hands Saying, 'How do you do?' They're really saying, I...I love you I hear babies cry and I watch them grow, They'll learn much more Than we'll know And I think to myself What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld
Someday I'll wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where trouble melts like lemon drops High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?
When asked about what was the favourite part of my trip; i can't really answer because each and every little thing that I had observed and experienced, had in itself, that special element whereby only travel and tourism brings. My fondest memories and th e inspirations that Vietnam invoked cannot be described by mere words but I shall try.
Things to miss about Vietnam: (Not in order of Preference) - The CRAZY traffic & constant air pollution from bikes which makes your face covered with dust (Total Madness but it's so IRRESISTIBLY Vietnam you gonna love it!) - Pho^ (Traditional beef noodles...SLurps!) - SHOP, SHOP and more SHOPPING! - VIETNAM TRADITIONAL COFFEE (Beyond words~) - Rich historical value & visiting the CUCHI tunnels (the tunnels are a killer indeed! Not for the weak-hearted) - Mud-bath @ Nha Trang (almost fainted but ooh~it's MUD-i-LICIOUS~) - Taking a quick nap on the beach under the HUGE beach umbrella - Feeling the spray of sea-water while speeding around on the jet ski & falling into the sea - Enjoying the breeze and scenery while flying in the sky - the wonders of ab-sailing - Drinking beer in the hotel room and falling asleep watching Tom & Jerry - The unrelentless SUN of 'Nam - Diving and discovering the world BENEATH - Seeing a familar face at a foriegn land - Groccery shopping at the supermarket(s) - People watching on the street (it's a fave past-time of Vietnamese btw) - Enduring awkward sleeping positions on the 5 Star train for 6 -7 hours - Watching the Sunrise @ the Sunrise hotel
"The aurora (plural aurorae/auroras) is a bright glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" (or "aurora polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as the aurora borealis, which is named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. Especially in Europe, it often appears as a reddish glow on the northern horizon, as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern lights since it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. Its southern counterpart, aurora australis, has similar properties. Australis is the Latin word for "of the South"."

I so wanna see the Aurora Borealis!
The Old Guitarist, 1903
If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only.
Do not say, I love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently, for a trick of thought that falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought a sense of pleasant ease on such a day.
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed, or change for thee- and love so wrought, may be unwrought so.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
