End of an era.

Man..

When did I start collecting pins? I don't remember when, but it felt like it was forever! I suppose the passion and joy of new releases (especially the ones that came from a jacket) is fun. However, it is tiring and expensive for little pieces of metal. Over the past 5 years - I have talked to all kinds of people; seller, buyers, collectors, ebay-ers, and all sorts of people from alot of different places online related to the pin adventure. Whatever anything may be, it will inevitably will come to an end. 

Lucky for me, I didn't spend anytime looking for a buyer. But the buyer found my post on instagram and just bought them all. Flawless and quick transaction as well, despite the large number he transferred. It's quite bittersweet to let it go, but it's a good thing as I don't really pay attention to it anymore.

Entire set.

Out of the frame

This picture has so much memories intact to it haha. All these pins only came with a schott jacket. That said, in order for you to get each pin; you'd have to buy a jacket. As for me, I search everyday and ask people to separate it for me and I'd pay a lot for each.

Samples

Some very very rare and old pins

One of the reason why I stop was mainly because Schott's pin and these. Supreme simply force you to buy a certain apparel in order to get a pin. Asking people to separate it or pay a large sum of money for it is just absurd.

3 Months in Vietnam

It's been a year since I last logged into my blog . Time flies and a lot has happened. Mostly for the good! There are so much details and events that occur last year but I'm going to recap my 3 months in Vietnam. The best 3 months of my life so far. I was in Vietnam and married the love of my life. In that 3 months, I have learn countless of things and lessons that school can never offer. Right now, I feel very happy and I miss my wife very much. She will be in the United States in about a year and I can't wait to live and spend the rest of my life with her.

Pictures are not in order. But at least they look pretty cool :)

Vietnam Trip : Views

If I remember correctly, I traveled up at around 1,000 km. Most of the time, I take the bus traveling from Cai Rong to Ha Nam. Sometimes, I take the taxi and at other times I travel on the moped. Despite my long distance travels, I can't help but take pictures of these views. Hopefully, they will remain the same or change for the better in the future. 

Bridge in Hanoi

One of the condo I stayed at on my first day. Man, Hanoi is mostly Condos now. I'm slowly getting a picture of Hong Kong landscape being the future of Hanoi.

Rice field in Ha Nam. This place is approximately 3 minutes walk from Chu Vinh's house.

A morning run with Vuong.

Song Chanh Bridge

Ha Long 

Where these bricks and rocks laid, it used to be where I lived. There was a small house. One of my aunt let us live there for free. Despite not being blood related, she stepped up big time.

I took time to visit Di Lieu, she wasn't home so we figured out where she is.

Take a break at Ha Nam

This tree has been here ever since I remember it. It's a pinpoint for me to tell the bus driver where I'm heading to.
