牽手護台灣

 
Hi Friends of H3LPs,

一九四七年
在二月二十八日
台灣發生大事件(大屠殺?)

世紀大事件
老蔣派出彭孟輯
追、捕、關、殺台灣人

七十五年前
斯有八九十歲人
多少看到這事件

牽手護台灣
不能再有二二八
大家團結守國家

虎年怪日仔

 
Hi Thomas and Grace,

Do you notice that there is a string of “two” on calendar today. At least 7 now, 2/22/2022 plus Tuesday(禮拜二). If you wait till 10:22(22:22) tonight, there will be 10 or 11. What a strange day is!

虎年今哺日
新曆二月二十二(2/22/2022)
又係堵到禮拜二(Tuesday)

今哺日特別
日曆頂有七个「二」(2)
最有情意个日仔

等到暗哺夜
十點二十二分鐘(22:22)
前後有十一个「二」(2)

有二(你、妳)就有愛
牽手一起救客家(話、人、文化)
煞猛寫兜三行詩

人老想歸根

山城故鄉情
匆匆過境轉關西
山影迎來故鄉情

食茶故鄉事
故鄉巡禮莫緊拚(不要太匆忙)
食茶用jud(吻)莫用飲(lim)。

人老想歸根
流浪人生浮萍命  ( po pan 命)
今後相逢幾多時。

虎年新開始

虎年新開始
買隻球拍打天下
打出台灣个名聲

這隻新球拍
威爾孫克煞一百(Wilson Clash 100)
花忒美金三百塊

黃昏

 

Hi Thomas and Grace,

At this age of my life, I do not want to see any more sunsets. But we have been out to the wilderness too often since COVID-19 stroke three years ago. It’s hard to walk away from the gorgeous scenes. 

又一个黃昏
日頭慢慢下西山
天邊海角一片紅

遠望孤島

冇停陀暗流 ( 不停歇的暗流)
沖擊孤島日撈夜
等毋到風平浪靜。

淡忒介彩虹 (淡去的彩虹)
彎身欠過山腰背( kiam guo 跨過)
漸漸消失昏陽下。

鹹濕介海風
飄過沈睡介海邊
水鳥浮能看孤岩。(bo den---浮著)

雨後介青山
雨水滲入松樹香
中央山脈介朝晨(唇)

黃金年代

黃金七十幾
自家煮飯自家食
一盤寂寞一碗愁。

失色介彩霞
孤xi作伴對空凳 (面對著空凳,孤獨來作伴)
無言對坐目濫gam (眼淚泛濫)

行在旅途中
自家身影伴隨行
刻gnai拖行到終站。 (忍耐著拖行到終點

目汁毋落頰 (淚不落頰)
目汁有分悲嫪喜 (眼淚有分悲與喜)
打轉目汁算麻介 (打轉的眼淚又屬那種

一天一小步,一起向前進

 
Hi Thomas and Grace,

Just look at this simple math and see how much you can improve in doing anything over a year. If we, Hakka people, understand this concept, our mother tongue can be gradually saved in the future while Hakka people can proudly stand up with “Team Taiwan”.

漸漸个力量
每日進步一息息
一年後進步多多

漸漸學講客
每日學講幾句話
一年後變客家通

漸漸教講客
每日教講幾句話
奈驚客話毋會傳

大家共下來
每日行出一細步
漸漸行出一條路

That is we have been talking and dreaming about 「客家台灣路」, isn’t it?

Once again, this formula of 1.01 to the 365th power(1/365) is just for your reference. It does make some sense to me though.

天祐 台灣!

甜甜蜜蜜

 
朝晨雨水落
天時打狗毋出門
一蕊玫瑰蜂糖香



「台灣民主國」in 1895

Hi Thomas and Grace,

May I share a news article(below) on 「台灣民主國」stamps with you? It tells me that Taiwan was independent for 81 days in 1895. It looks like the image of Taiwan’s stone tiger( 石虎)is on those stamps. 

虎年看頭擺(=以前)
「台灣民主國」存在
唐景崧係大總統

一八九五年
台灣用「獨虎郵票」
頂頭印有「士担氏 /巾」(stamp)

PS, Thomas, 氏/巾 is a word, 氏在上, 巾在下, 唸「紙」音, It sounds like the translation of “stamp” into the word, “士担?“ then. I can not find that word in my iPad. Maybe you two can find it.

食到老 學到老

Hi Thomas, Grace and Friends of H3LPs,

Read Epoch Times online and learned a new word, “Omnifarious” this morning. My head is totally blank. It shook me up with a set of H3LP for your reference. Do you know what it means? Click the following link to find out yourselves.

虎年新方向
學會講好好英文(Good Spoken English)
提昇台灣知名度

一日一單字
會唸會讀愛正確
會拼會寫好句子(Well Written English)

Omnifarious 係嘛吤
意思係「五花八門」(=各種各樣?)
谷狗翻「無所不知」

實在當敗勢
美國流浪半世紀
英文還係半桶水

Your comments are welcome.

如虎添翼

 
Hi friends of H3LPs,

How have you been since we saw one another somewhere and some years ago. It looks like this 「武漢肺炎」will stay around us everywhere for a long while and we just have to go on our daily routines with wearing masks, washing hands and keeping social distance for now. From the onset of the year of Tiger, tens of thousands of Tiger images popped up on line. I like this one most and love to share it with you.

虎年新開始
「如虎添翼」飛上天
自由自在看世界

希望台灣人
福虎生風動起來
「反共保台」一條❤️

 
Happy lunar new year of Tiger!
