“This world does not belong to people with money, nor does it belongs to people with power, it belongs to those with heart” Ip Man
I was born 1971, Phu Nhuan, Saigon, Vietnam. My family and I were a part of the first exodus of boat people after the Vietnam war. In March 1981, we settled in Sydney, Australia. I graduated with a bachelor of Pharmacy at the University of Sydney. I have been translating Vietnamese literature for the past five years in my search to better understand my mother’s language and culture. My translations have been shared through blogging over the past year. I am still a registered pharmacist practicing in Western Sydney. I hope to continue translating, and continue to share Vietnamese art and literature, beyond borders on SONGNGUTAITRAM.

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Compassion though intangible is an invaluable commodity, the random acts of kindness must be dished out with more care and thought. Because no one wants your pity. The best act of charity is the one you do for yourself.

knowing when to end and start a new line does not make you a poet, just like in isolation, not all people in white coats are doctors…
