벚꽃의 고장

Jinhae, a small town in the South Gyeongsang Province, is famous for its cherry blossoms. Every spring, tourists, in ten of thousands, flock to this town to witness a once-a-year spectacular display of flowering splendour by nature. I hope to bring you the spring in Jinhae through the following short video.

Man-planted flowers in Namsan

정열

If you have lost your passion in life, go to a place where there is spring and find it back.

하늘 아래

하늘 아래에 노래를 부른다

하늘 아래에 꿈을 꾼다

청순

따스운 느낌

Spring in pots.

Spring in baskets. Are they for sale?

쉼

잠간 쉬지 않을 래? 봄이 왔니까.

핀 꽃처럼 웃어라

감각

We know a day has passed from sunrise and sunset. We also know that a year has elapsed from four seasons. However, we won't know how a decade has gone by, especially when each year repeats itself. There is no natural sign and indicator to remind us about the passage of time beyond a year. So, I need to remind myself to make each year different.

새싹

봄이 되면 나무 그늘 아래 누워 책 한 권을 읽고 싶다는 생각이 든다.

문을 열어라

문을 열어라. 가슴을 열어라. 봄 바람이 들어갈 수가 있게.

그림자

I did a quick check and there are more than twenty thousand picture files of Korea in my computer. From my posting, you probably can't tell very well if I am in Singapore or Korea unless you pay special attention to the tenses and label I use.

황량

우울

외로움

Some people thought I like Korea more than Singapore. That's misconception. Anyway, Singapore is getting 'interesting' these days. Big changes are coming. Soon, Singaporeans will show the world what we are really made of.

소원

사랑, 사랑 또 사랑. 언제나, 항상, 늘 행복하자. 살맛 나는 세상을 만들어보자.

마음에 따름

광화문에 한 카폐에서 물끄러미 창밖을 내다보고 있었던 난 도대제 뭘 생각 중인건지?

문득 청계천에 바람쐬러 가고 싶다. 쌀쌀한 초봄 바람속에 서 있었던 날 그리워서 그렇다.

자기 주도적인 삶

최선을 다해 노력하면 무엇이든지 이룰 수가 있다. 무엇보다도 더 값진 자기 주도적인 삶을 치열하게 살아보겠다.

The beauty of life is in its details

The soul of spring is in its flowers

겸손

Nature may not be alive but it contains all lives. It is 'heartless' but yet, it can evoke so much emotions in us. It doesn't ask for help but the world is coming together to save it. I have a lot to learn about humility from nature.

시간 흐름

Last snow of winter melting away (Mid Feb)

As days got warmer, sitting outdoor became enjoyable (Early Mar)

Then, flowers started blooming and suddenly I realised "It's spring again." (Late Mar)

절

An afternoon in Namhansan, I came across this small and quiet temple. Soaked in the soft afternoon sun of spring, everything seemed so peaceful.
