oh, just live! =)

天地有萬古,此身不再得;
人生只百年,此日最易過。
幸生其間者,不

可不知有生之樂,
亦不可不懷虛生之憂。
Heaven and earth may be everlasting, but this life may not come by again;
A man may live to be a hundred, yet those days will rush by unwittingly.
One cannot live oblivious to the pleasures and joys of life,
Nor can one live without the fear of having lived in vain.

Haha...i've NEVER EVER kayaked in my entire 32 yrs of life!

This is my second attempt, kayaking at Halong Bay through Luon Cave, a tunnel thrusting through a mountain. Paddling through the tunnel Mr. Hai the guide and me arrived at a beautiful secluded lagoon...Oh, if you want to do the same you'd have to get a guide with a special license to take you through coz it's a prohibited area.

This picture does not do justice to the lagoon but heck, it's got sentimental value coz it's a picture i took while kayaking...hahah, beat that!
ok, lame, but i'm still proud. =)

Life is short. Open up our eyes, our mind.

Cherish all the good things we have going for us.

Only then, can we claim to have not lived in vain.

Hey thanks! It was taken right before we crashed onto a giant coral and got stuck there for a good 5 minutes trying to get off...hahaha...Mr. Hai had to get off the kayak into the freezing winter lagoon to push us off the coral. It was a real adventure. After that it was smooth sailing all the way.
