Farewell 送行

A popular classic Chinese farewell song.

"Parting is such a sweet sorrow (Shakespeare)."

Thinking of you, I hope to meet you in my dream.

送行 (歌詞)

長亭外 古道邊 芳草碧連天
晚風拂柳笛聲殘 夕陽山外山
天之涯 地之角 知交半零落
一觚濁酒盡餘歡 今宵別夢寒

思念遠方的朋友, 在此寫下幾句解相思潮。

願你平安
依依不捨送君別,
天涯地角知交離;
望君早日返鄉聚,
舉杯遙約夢中會。

※古事新釋: 科技進步, 兩地相思可摃電話;可將生活近況用電腦和手機傳遞相片、語音或影帶稍解思愁。不用再異域思念不了情而癡癡的空等待了。

Duck Business 閒聊鴨事

5 male ducks were having a meeting, I thought. First, they gathered in circle, and then 1 moved into center.
Not to disturb them, I went around to gather their feathers and played with them.
When I came back, I found the one in center stood on dock rail talking to them. I wished to know what they were talking about. Hey! MYOB!

五隻公鴨圍成一個圓圈, 好像在開會。不久, 一隻走到中間。
不想打擾它們, 我就去撿地上的羽毛來排編玩玩。
回來後,看到中間那隻跳到欄杆上𠿤嚕叫。真想知道它們在討論什麼要緊的事。
嗨, 別多管鴨事, 上網去啦!
