and i love the indie spirit of Devendra Banhart's little yellow spider
'Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
'Cause I'm goddamn cold'
he's such a poetic who can bend your bad day into a worst day but worst in a good way, coz you would be alone drowned in the pond inside wild cold woods...

Denkmal. hey denk mal!
brauchen wir wirklich noch Denkmal? wenn ja, was soll es behaupten?
eine symbolisierende Veranschaulichung der Kraft
eine bedeutungslose Gigantomanie
oder eine überwitzige Kritik?!

Lady Bug in a BBQ
the windy Greifswald treats me sometimes nice, and the stressful mood before exams sometimes releases me. today i had a small BBQ party with some friends from Vietnam, Brazil, Italy and China; and we had lots of fun with the food: mushroom porridge, chicken fried rice, grilled meatball and pork, avocado with yogurt and cream! and of course beer, how can man in Germany survive without beer? ;D
i'm feeling like a ladybug in a little bush singing with a lolly pop!

60s working day
(photo credits: Chicago Tribune, Cemetarian, IMDB, Abdy Antiques)
i must admit that i'm not into TV shows, so when people start gossiping about what they've seen in SATC, Heroes, Prison Break, i start to being dumb!! well well, but since my bf showed me some of Mad Men, it appealed me by the costume design. oh yeah, fashion critics have praised this a lot. and i've been inspired!
60s working atmosphere: high-waist skirt, curly hair, typewriter,... eh, i just wonder why the women in those days have different proportion (very small waist with big pointed breasts) or it's just because of the clothing, hmmm
on hair: H&M blossom
on face: vintage frame

hilarious shot
i've just had my bang cut (by myself)! didn't you guys notice in my last entry? hhaha, once i posted it in my facebook, my friends applauded my dumb look/ or somehow naive cuteness. it was so funny!
anyways, what is expected to be funnier is this shooting below. hhahahha, i couldn't help myself stop laughing deadly on seeing it. the man behind was walking as if he were also cat-walking behind me. my friend was keeping shouting at me 'quick, pose, walk. this man is approaching you!'. and i really like this turn-out for its lively background. And for such a reason that tomorrow is Men's Day in Germany :D

Literature Writer
today i must write a final exam on literature, which focuses on beginning 20th german poems. that's why my choice was a bit classic, but still strong and bold to fit the soul of Expressionism poetry ;D

70s inspired
iTunes is playing Brigitte Bardot Show album and her attractive french voice inspires me so much to 60s-70s mood.
last weekend George - my best friend in Germany led me to the beach with some other friends. we rode aprox. 10km on bike, through green-like-evergreen wood, through yellow-even-brighter-than-sunlight rape-seed field. almost nobody there in Wampen beach. just some naked women sunbathing, some dogs and owners wandering. i brought Polaroid camera and picked some, realized that we look so 70s, naive, natural, wild and loving!

Found
since forcing myself reading literature in German language, and being inspired by european spring nature, i have to admit that i'm falling in love with 'Gefunden' of Herr oh-so-famous Goethe. no it's not that cliché i'd blame for my favorite, it's truly adorable poem of beauty, nature, love, human being, decision.
Gefunden
hence i grant me a chance today to wear old time lady-like poetic outfit.

Gefunden
Ich ging im Walde
so für mich hin,
und nichts zu suchen,
das war mein Sinn.
Im Schatten sah ich
ein Blümchen stehn,
wie Sterne leuchtend,
wie Äuglein schön.
Ich wollt' es brechen,
da sagt' es fein:
Soll ich zum Welken
gebrochen sein?
Ich grub's mit allen
den Würzlein aus,
zum Garten trug ich's
am hübschen Haus.
Und pflanzt es wieder
am stillen Ort;
nun zweigt es immer
und blüht so fort.

Casual Glam
so spring sunshine yesterday inspires my fingers to type more entries.
last week the weather was not that good, the temperature was sometimes, yes unpredictable, sunny and warm-up (looks like), yet in general it was quite cold. early morning around 7am could reach -5*C (23*F). that's why i treated myself a total blacky glam. but i'm a student who went to small class with just around 20 students, living in a conservative-look town, and my choice would better limit within a word 'casual' safety.
there i go casual glam

Comic Prints and else
sorry for my lacking of new entries. since last week i pushed myself in a harsh working cycle from 10am to 9pm in uni library. and after so late stay-up last night to watch 'Confessions of a shopaholic' in Russian language (yeah, it was duplicated in Russian, though, such a kind of movie you only fulfill two eyes no need to hear. i know it's cliché to state so when i couldn't hear such a word, but my sense tells that their witness in conversations is unattractive!), my body now is absolutely impaired and forces me to stay at home to complete all housework: cleaning, ironing, shopping grocery, .... i hate this!!!!
anyways, i'd rather stop these complaints which may not collect any sympathy from you guys, and better start reporting my recent days.
i tried several rebellious punk-oriented look. the comic-print garments i've purchased gave strong wind of inspiration to experiment. they're mixture of aesthetics in colorful prints, curiosity of novelistic dialogues, and pop sexiness of pulp-magazine characters. who can't adore those?

TET - Happy Lunar Newyear!
Labels: photograph, postcard, snow, Tet, Vietnam
Strawberry on wet dirty snow
last weekend when i was walking to the supermarket, i came across the beautiful disgust: a small red-like-blood strawberry was trampled on wet dirty grayish white snow. 'wow!', i could only utter so. pity i didn't bring my camera.
hence i insert such inspiration into today outfit: gray blazer matching with bordeaux pattern velvet skirt. and by accident the camera was not able to capture correct figure and color of my appearance. anyways, i made use of it as the theme color of so-call 'strawberry on wet dirty snow'.
on top: vintage DDR 80s wool short-cut blazer from mom
bottom: velvet skirt of Benetton
surrounding feet: Bartu boots
Happy Tet! Happy Lunar New Year!
it's just 1 more week - 25.Jan09 that comes Lunar New Year (traditional New year of almost Eastern Asian countries: Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea,...). among this cultural westernization had i not felt any change or enthusiasm toward it, until my friend Freddy Nadolny, an illustrating artist, whose blog Kẹo Kỷ niệm with its witty use of Vietnamese and French illustrating interpretation earlier kicked me to wonder whether he's a vietkieu (abroad vietnamese), sent me the greeting card above. this touched me and made me homesick indeed by its peaceful and memorial gestures. just one pity, i wish he wrote it in Vietnamese.
though, he has another in Vietnamese featured in his blog title
'welcoming this spring reminds me of earlier springs
see you in the new year's eve cracking'

Honey Brownie
after days of blurred grayish fog depressed rooftops, roads, gardens,... and my mood, it is finally back to sunshine. woohoo, i'm tickled pink again. yet today shade is not rosé but earthy shades of brown, beige and cream to match the color of sunny shade on ground, just as the German word 'naturverbunden', literally translated as 'live in close touch with the nature'.
on head: fur hat from Sweden
on neck: lambswool scarf from italy
on top: Jil Sander long blazer, belt stolen from friend, fur coat bought from an old woman
bottom: Marithé & François Girbaud stretch trousers
surrounding hands: leather gloves from mom
surrounding feet: unknown brand leather lace-up boots
Colorful Geometry
i did mention that my eyes dig in color mixing. hence Viktor&Rolf's Spring-Summer 09 collection gave me the appealing bomb of its stripes, geometric origami, unneat cuts.
playing with origami folding and pattern mixxxiing
some more futuristic sexiness
the Spring '07 they presented in Oct06 also me allures me with their mirror-leggings, (again!) geometric cut formal suits. i can't help myself imagining me in those cut-star-of-nationalistic-proud (!!!) suits presenting my essay on Democracy, eh!
nice weekend with your imagination power! X
elegance doesn't mean giving up extreme experiment. classic lace-up doesn't mean only vintage english look.

Symmetry Axis
my compact Nikon L6 broke down with lens error and the new L16's shipping hasn't arrived yet. so forgive the bad image quality here of Mac's photobooth (i doubt its resolution is just as low-class webcam hmmm!). but at least i can play with the axis trick ;)
this is for the normal day of school. while germany sky is so dully gray and lack of sunshine, i paint some yellow shades on my body:
on top: quite many layers, here with the order from inside to outside:
Joop! lemon-yellow chemise,
Barisal cashmere pullover (eh, i know i'm so in love with this piece for its soft-as-cloud texture),
Benetton pure cotton knit jacket

Breeze in Greece
it was 25dec last year, just after Christmas. and luckily sun shined pouring-honey brightly in Athens. so i picked the most vivid items in limited clothes (i flew with Easy Jet without any checked baggage but only hold bag) and ran in National Garden's playground.on head: mohair wool hat
on neck: lambswool scarf with brand 'P' (?) from italy
on top: under is Hikosen Cara wool pullover (it has very cute embroidered cat figure but this time was hided :P ) and outside is Barisal cashmere pullover
bottom: Vivaldi natural silk trousers (of course i wore wool tights inside in order to struggle with 6*C weather)
surrounding hands: leather gloves
surrounding feet: suede from Cristallo
Self style
when i think of the way to mention about my own aesthetic exposition, it should be my own style of dressing. this sounds pretty lamely fashionable and make some wrinkle their nose, that hmm Arlette is another trendy girl who crawls among latest fashion seasons. nevetheless, i was often made fun on streets with my bizzare and wacky stuffs on body by trendy youngsters. i'm ultra inspired by Tokyo and London's streetstyles which break the ice of easy harmony, cliché elegance or any so-called à-la-mode.
i fancy hippie late 60s and 70s and funky bright 80s and admire true charm of 40s-50s. but it's obvious that i can't get enough curves and facial expressions for those amoré charm like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly, so it's safer to create a life-amusing look as if motto is 'enjoy until your last minute'
i love color. i love any color. i love colorful pattern, patchwork, compound, mixture... once arriving germany, it's autumn and starts to winter. people therefore wear monotone dark cold clothing. i can't stand this. black-and-white neatness kills me with boredom. hey yeah, of course i do wear black, but i mix it with red for example, or neon-orange.
on that account i claim myself to expose more here in virtual world the selection of my daily outfit. well, my town is moderately small and people don't experiment with their style much, although approx.20% population is students - young life experimenters. that also gives me reason to share my thoughts on self-image on net, as old proverb 'one looks for sympathy'.
i hope you guys encourage me on this track of blogging ;-)

Hy Lạp - Greece
chào năm mới '09 bằng chuyến đi tránh rét với boo tới Hy Lạp. vì trước khi đi thì mình cũng túi bụi với bài vở, không có thời gian tìm hiểu trước Hy Lạp ra sao, chỉ đọc tin tức bạo động trên BBC và Der Spiegel. cho nên bạn boo Red thành tour guild thắng cảnh lẫn ẩm thực. và bạn í đã hoàn thành xuất sắc nhiệm vụ 
. cho điểm 8,75/10 vì thi thoảng mình vẫn phải ăn fastfood chống đói.
tổng kết lại có vài điểm ghi chú:
- dân Athens giống dân VN, không có thói quen xếp hàng. tàu điện ngầm dừng, ở Đức người ta sẽ đợi người trong tàu xuống xong thì họ mới đi vào. còn Athens thì như đi tranh hàng sale-off, người lên người xuống chen lấn huých nhau huỳnh huỵch. già trẻ chẳng ai nhường ai, cứ uỵch sao cho được phần mình
- nhiều bạn thanh niên Athens, trông rõ đẹp zai xinh gái muh vô duyên hết chỗ nói. cài đặt bàn phím mobile có tiếng bíp. thế là lên tàu xe cứ bíp bíp loạn cả óc, làm như khoe tao đây mới có gái có zai nt cho này!
- quán sushi rất sành điệu, tây vào ngồi chật kín là của Ba Tàu. mì Nhật nấu thịt gà là mì tôm xào 'sợi chỉ gà' và vài cọng bắp cải!!!
- ăn trưa/tối muh gọi trà uống kèm là bị thần kinh dạng nặng đối với toàn bộ nhân viên nhà hàng. tốt nhất là cứ rượu muôn năm!
- bánh rán donuts truyền thống rắc quế và hạnh nhân chấm mật ong là món nhâm nhi buổi chiều tuyệt cú mèo
- salad Hy Lạp là món cực dễ làm và vô cùng bổ béo: chỉ cần quả olive, cà chua, hành củ tím (loại to), dưa leo trộn đều. rưới lên dầu olive và vắt thêm ít chanh. đặt lên 1 miếng féta cheese to tướng. xong! yummm
- người Hy Lạp không bao giờ ăn súp. từ nhà hàng xịn sang trọng đến quán cóc. nếu kêu thử món lentil soup, sẽ được phục vụ thành món như cháo đậu xanh.
- dân Hy Lạp có gout chọn xe máy rất giống VN: Honda Cub là số dzách, tiếp đến là Piaggio
- dân Hy Lạp rất thích tám. tám liên tục giờ này sang giờ khác, từ nhà ra quán, từ đường cái đến hẻm. điển hình là ông chủ 1 nhà hàng mình ăn, đi mua đồ về chạy vội ra góc ngã tư gần nhà, chỉ để tám với mấy ông bạn già cũng đã đứng sẵn đợi ở đó. tám 1 hồi chạy về nhà ăn trưa, xong đi ra tám tiếp! mấy ông già này toàn sơ-vin áo vét đứng giữa phố muh tám.
- dân Hy Lạp thích ngồi quán vỉa hè nhậu nhẹt cà phê cà pháo giống y xì VN. ghế cao hơn chút thôi. nói chung là khoaí tám nó vậy!
- ngày tết, dân Hy Lạp cũng y như VN, se sua áo quần cho bảnh chọe rồi vào công viên làm dáng chụp ảnh bên hồ nước cành hoa
- chó hoang ngoài đường ở Hy Lạp vô cùng khôn, chắc thừa hưởng gene thầ kì của các bậc tiền bối. các bạn í đi theo người đi bộ, thái độ rất vui vẻ, nhã nhặn, thường đi trước để dẫn đường. nếu muốn qua đường, bạn chó sủa xe hơi tá lả để nhường đường cho mình sang. nếu chán thì vẫy tay bye bye bạn í sẽ thôi không đi theo. chó trên đảo Santorini còn khôn dã man hơn. bạn í đi trước, xong thỉnh thoảng dừng lại. và những chỗ dừng là chỗ chụp ảnh rất đẹp. các bạn í cũng làm dáng trước ống kính nữa. còn chó có chủ thì ngu hơn, hay sủa linh tinh và chơi trò ú-oà bất thình lình!
- người ta bảo đừng đi đảo vào mùa đông. nhưng nếu không muốn bị ai quấy rầy, yên tĩnh, thoải mái, dẹp bỏ hết party quấy phá, chỉ mình ta giữa phố giữa trời đất tuyệt đẹp thì cứ bay ra.
căn hộ mình ở trên đảo
thêm vài bonus:
ngắm ai đấy ;)
bữa sáng (tất nhiên là không phải ở khách sạn)
đền thờ thần Zeus
bến cảng Passamilani, 1 trong những cảng nên thơ Địa Trung Hải
tất nhiên là phải có cái này rồi ;)

- dân Hy Lạp rất thích tám. tám liên tục giờ này sang giờ khác, từ nhà ra quán, từ đường cái đến hẻm. điển hình là ông chủ 1 nhà hàng mình ăn, đi mua đồ về chạy vội ra góc ngã tư gần nhà, chỉ để tám với mấy ông bạn già cũng đã đứng sẵn đợi ở đó. tám 1 hồi chạy về nhà ăn trưa, xong đi ra tám tiếp! mấy ông già này toàn sơ-vin áo vét đứng giữa phố muh tám.
- dân Hy Lạp thích ngồi quán vỉa hè nhậu nhẹt cà phê cà pháo giống y xì VN. ghế cao hơn chút thôi. nói chung là khoaí tám nó vậy!
- ngày tết, dân Hy Lạp cũng y như VN, se sua áo quần cho bảnh chọe rồi vào công viên làm dáng chụp ảnh bên hồ nước cành hoa
- chó hoang ngoài đường ở Hy Lạp vô cùng khôn, chắc thừa hưởng gene thầ kì của các bậc tiền bối. các bạn í đi theo người đi bộ, thái độ rất vui vẻ, nhã nhặn, thường đi trước để dẫn đường. nếu muốn qua đường, bạn chó sủa xe hơi tá lả để nhường đường cho mình sang. nếu chán thì vẫy tay bye bye bạn í sẽ thôi không đi theo. chó trên đảo Santorini còn khôn dã man hơn. bạn í đi trước, xong thỉnh thoảng dừng lại. và những chỗ dừng là chỗ chụp ảnh rất đẹp. các bạn í cũng làm dáng trước ống kính nữa. còn chó có chủ thì ngu hơn, hay sủa linh tinh và chơi trò ú-oà bất thình lình!
- người ta bảo đừng đi đảo vào mùa đông. nhưng nếu không muốn bị ai quấy rầy, yên tĩnh, thoải mái, dẹp bỏ hết party quấy phá, chỉ mình ta giữa phố giữa trời đất tuyệt đẹp thì cứ bay ra.
căn hộ mình ở trên đảothêm vài bonus:

tất nhiên là phải có cái này rồi ;)
off
i'll be off from 'the day after tmr' til 5Jan. the winter destination is hiding myself in Athens and Santorini. yeah, i know the political circumstance of extreme-left wing over there in the land of Aristotle, but we still dare ;)

M Monroe
well, i'm not a big fan of her. but who can't admit that M.Monroe is über-sexy? i feel proud of my feminism on wearing her on this 70s vintage t-shirt.
Polaroid experiment
hallo,
today i've just finished history exam. gosh, es ist doch vorbei!!! yet the presentation on human rights in Vietnam is coming soon. so i'm still in the rush :(. but hey, i've just tested my new Polaroid instant camera which costs me 1€ on eBay. wow, and it functions so well. i adore my new toy, eh?! with its story: it was manufactured and first-hand bought in 1987- my birthyear and it's in RED color. for the readers who are technique geek, its model is Polaroid Supercolor 645 CL.
it sits beside my vintage Polaroid sunglasses, which was made in circa 70s.
and here is its latest production.
(processing...)
i know, the composition is a bit too tight with vertical objects. though, love the raw vintage color and enjoy much its process of appearing color on film.
only 1 huge problem: the Polaroid film is soooo unaffordable, approx. >20€/pack of 10 films! and it will get higher price soon since they won't produce it anymore after this year. oh noooo!
recent shot (on 21Nov): this was taken at the very first moment of snow falling in Germany this year. and what's more? well, it's the first time i've ever touched smelled been chilled snow. SNOW SNOW SNOW, the tropical gal now can taste you :)

Back to basis - cookies
i know i know, i have stopped blogging with blogger for so long. though other blog services like Yahoo!360 or multiply really suck (to me at least), i keep betraying best friend - Blogspot and run after others like silly bunny just for friendlist!!!
well, life has changed pretty much since the last time i blogged, probably in May (?). i have moved myself to another continent where it used to be the origin of many world's colonies or (more positive) original philosophies. you got it, got it? yeah, i meant Europe. at this 'contemporary' second i'm resting my whole body on the do-it-graphic-designer-Roman couch, moving my bottom on the do-it-film-editor-Trang mattress in cozy one-room apartment of this über-nett-und-engrossing couple in city of used-to-be-West-und-Ost-Blocks Berlin; enjoying home-made peanut-butter-chocolate cookies by chị Trang and reading witty Das PENIS Buch, a gift from Roman, which is in fact taken on the street. oh, what a life!
a little personal information for you guys, i live in between 2 cities: one is Greifswald, which is just a small beach own of approx. 55 thoudsands people including 12,000 students; and the other is absolutely Berlin - packed by 3 millions Deutschers and legal or illegal expats.
the theme of my blog is not really travel blog. i'm such a lazy wanderer (just got the name 'saigonese wanderer' randomly :P ), so you'd rather not expect entries like where must be visited once in Greifswald or where you can find cheap BMW/Audi logos. plus, i think i'm so over my teen crisis, that i won't try to often expose my self-considered-cute images here :)).
kinda crappy opening message, sorry, so how is this blog gonna be carry on? it's still on the track of personal thoughts and captures, there might be just some slight differences that you may find my English ridiculous as i'm getting used to German grammar and start forgetting my English comprehensions (hah, j/k). okie, no more jokes, i've got more chances to touch the Western visual arts, therefore i would love to focus more on it, as much as i can access its senses.
so next posts will possibly about Art Forum Berlin and so on. or some vintage shopping hints lolz.
tschüß!
arlette
p.s on 6Nov08: awful sorry that i let you guys wait for my new entry. but the professors have given me damn many new essays and exams, so i can't split my spare time blogging. yet as soon as i finish those Democracy and Post-WW2 Literature essays, i'll definitely do my BLOGSPOT task :)

Inventur (Günter Eich)
Below is my essay on poem 'Inventur' (Günter Eich) in German language. this was assessed as mid-term test.
You can read the poem and general meaning here (in German).
Inventur von Günter Eich gibt mir das starke Gefühl, das mich anspornt, viele andere Kunstwerke, besonders vergleichbar vietnamesischere Gedichte nachzuforschen, um die Ähnlichkeit zwischen beide zu sehen.
Zuerst möchte ich die Ästhetik dieses Gedichtes erwähnen. Eich verwendete unkomplizierte tägliche Wörter, und verfasste sie mit der Rhetorik, wie zum Beispiel die Wiederholung und den Reim. Diese lässt seine Gedichte wie ein Volksgedicht oder Volkslied klingen, deshalb fließt es anspruchslos durch den Kopf des Lesers. Sie sind aber nicht die bündige Wörter und Verse, die irgendjemand verfassen kann. Ich bin der Meinung, dass Eich sein Inventur auf zwei Schichten gründete: die wörtliche Außendecke und die Kerngedanke. Die wörtliche Außendecke mit ihrer Einfachheit in der Wörter und der Struktur erinnern mich an einen wichtigen Begriff der vollständigen Künste: Um die Einfachheit zu erlangen muss man durch diffizile Vorgang erfahren. Eich suchte nicht impulsiv viele Wörter über seine tägliche Sache, sonst hatte sein strategisches Konzept. Es ist wie wir die Gemälde des Minimalist bildende Künstlerei Piet Mondrian anschauen und uns mit der Schönheit seiner Werkers angelockt sind.
Die andere Anregung der Inventur, die mich beeindruckte, ist sein Inhalt. Inventur erklärt über seinen Armut und Knappheit; trotzdem ist Eichs Ton nicht bitter oder verärgert. Er findet noch die Weise zu überleben und verwendet gewitzt seine Geistesstärke, um selbst zu ernähren. Der Sehnsucht des Gedichts zu verfassen, des Vers nachzudenken und des humanistischen Lebens zu verbringen spornt jeden Leser an. Dieses drückt mich auch, vietnamesische Gedichte zu betrachten, um parallele Vergleich zu sehen. Während der langen Geschichte des Vietnamkriegs wurden viele Dichter durch Propagandathema beeinflusst. Ihre Gedichte drückten die Wirklichkeit des Armuts und des Elends aus, dann verwendeten sie aber, um die Kameraden zu stützen. Obwohl es damals die Dichter, die über das Kameraden- oder -Kriegsthema mit ihrer aufrichtigen Empfindung schrieben, gab, zeige Ich hier einige besondere Beispiele für deutliche Propagandasgedichte:
Lachen im Jahr des Hungers
Tet* – Essen grillend Maus und rauchen Dschungelsblätter trotz der Zigaretten
Im Truong Son Gebirge wünschen eine Truong Son Zigarette
Nach der Vernichtung gegen den Feind versperre Hunger uns zurück zu kriechen
Hören die Frühlingsgedichte, lebensfroh Lachen jedoch erheben.
*Tet: Neujahr in Vietnamesisch
Hunger
Reisbeutel fiel unten zum Strom
Schritt, um ihn einzuholen
Hatte Reis ohne Feuer
Der Regen weichte alles Zündholz ein
Klirrte Steine und scheuerte Bambusblätter
Wegen des Hungers versuchte die ganze Nacht
Alle Schüsseln waren kaputt
Dschungelsblätter dienten als Schüsseln
........
Vergaß das ganze Trauma;
Sich legte und deklamierte die Operette ee aa
Schlief tief in der ganzen Nacht
Morgens führte ein neues Krieg.
(Che Lan Vien, Gedichtband ‚Pflücken nach der Jahreszeit’, 1977)
Kontrast
Sie schlucken den Schinken, sie verschlingen den Pâté hinunter.
Euere Münder wässern gerade – leer sind euere Hände.
Ihr erhaltet nur Reis für das Mittagessen - keine für das Abendessen Keine Wand hinten, kein Vorhang vorne.
In ganz Nacht duschen die Kinder tränenüberströmt;
Von Morgendämmerung bis Dunkeln schwimmen die Väter schweißgebadet.
Ungerecht, ungleich – es ist ihr Sozialentwurf.
Mit der Hämmern und der Sicheln, aufstieg, oh Freunde!
(Dang Thai Thuyen, 1926, in Siam)
Diese Gedichte erzählen auch die Knappheit; dahingegen wir können ihre häufig Struktur erkennen, dass die Dichtere am Ende des Gedichts ein Slogan oder ein propagandistisch Satz schrieben. Während der Kriegszeiten war die propagandistische Kulturkampagne beträchtlich notwendig; dennoch die Gedichte, die sich ihre Armut und Elend ohne propagandistische Zweck aus drückten, zu rar oder isoliert waren. Ich finde es farblos und reizlos, wie an Magenverstimmung der roten Kommunists zu leiden. Ich bräuchte die Persönlichkeit, und Inventur ist darum mir begeistert.
Schlussendlich ist Inventur mir ein besinnliches Gedicht. Ich sage nicht, dass es mein Lieblingsgedicht ist, weil meine Vorliebe romantisches Werk ist. Trotzdem Inventur gab mir eine Chance, Idee von viele kunstverständig, politische und geschichtliche Gebiete zu verbinden.

Pause
Dear blog visitor,
it has been cold silent months since my latest entry. I know there are still many of friends and also random strangers coming here, glad to know you care about my thoughts. However, due to some current projects occupied me most of the time, I have found not enough spacious shining ideas to share on blog at this moment.
Though, I promise I'll come back soon. I'm on the way, very fast! Look at the above photo to prove how fast I am now!
With love,
