A Wonderful Return - Shirley's 106th Friendly Greeting--Sun, September 23, 2007

Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.
This week, the company distributed each manager a new mobile phone (a computer in the palm) and a mini laptop (about 1/3 bigness of a usual laptop), that we have produced with our cooperators together. Except the basic functions as an advanced cell phone and a mini laptop, people can see our real time, individuation, multimedia financial information and to trade securities anywhere. They are similar to the system of Bloomberg. The difference is, that ours are individuation and can be moved. I mean, if Mr. A is a manager of A listed company, then, he would be offered the information of his company, his company's industry, comments by the medias and the questions from its investors, then the others general information. He can make a communication with his investors via the systems directly.
Can you imagine? In Feb, 2007, when we left for the Chinese New Year ? Spring Festival holiday, the new products were just a dream and in a proposal. Right now, they are smiling to us. Once more, I feel that as long as we keep a dream and keep studying and working down to earth, we would certainly get a wonderful return.
Yes, we had gone to Bloomburg and Reuters branches in Hong Kong to learn something from them, many times since 2002 to 2006. Last year, 3 project groups and I completed 3 researching reports with 110.000 words to study our development stratagem after coming back from Hong Kong. And this year, we focus more time and energy on the business itself. We have completed at least 7 business projects or business rules. To adjust the business relationships, processes, rules, to make our theory researching to be practiced in the business files have changed one of my important working content. An interesting thing is, that I have to work often with technology departments together. It is not easy, it makes me having an achievement feeling, too. I am working with many smiles.
This week, something sad happened in my first vocal music teacher's life, it made her almost lose confidence to live. I worried about her so, that I spent much with her, to courage her to stand up, to help her to realize how excellent she is and to see her own advantage, to keep confidence to herself and to live. Even though I could not create my own painting until Saturday; I am glad that she has gone out of the bad emotion and will go to Tibet next Monday, then to be a Buddhist nun with her hair to learn Tibet Buddhism and Tibet language in Qinghai. As usual, I offered her the fee for her to travel by airplane. And we have promised that when she comes back, she should teach me more Chinese folk songs and Tibet language, I should teach her English and Italian language. Also, on Friday, I offered my cleaning lady a fee to go back to Sichuan to visit her mother, who is suffering the cancer. Instead of cutting down any salary of her for she will be absent for at least 2 weeks.
Once more, to help the others, is helping me itself. Knowing I could not go to my new vocal music teacher’s home for a lesson; her husband drove her to my home and offered me a music lesson before they had their dinner. I am really lucky indeed. Right?
How about you? Have you met anything special in your work and life this week?

Shirley Created Art --Chinese Gongbi--024: The Spring, The Hope
It is funny that two woman friends came to my home in a different time. They enjoyed a same painting and wanted to collect it. So, I started to paint one of them on a piece of silk since Saturday and I worked on it for whole of the weekend. Once more, I felt the peaceful in my heart when I was painting. It has not really finished for I will have to send it somewhere and to entrust a company to level it and attach it on some hard thing, then to match it a frame or spindle.

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi 0154: Sweet Smell
Do you know, what I used to mix my colors? Wine. My teacher wanted to teach me to paint with Chinese ink and wine instead of water, to train me to paint with a bigger brush and bigger verve. For the wine can help the Chinese ink producing some special result. This picture was given 90 marks even though I did not think it is good enough. Do you like it?

Trilingual Song--009: Shirley Sings An Italian Song "Caro Mio Ben"-- My Dear -- Wo Qinai De in Italian, English & Chinese
I have learned Italian language for 3 weeks. I made a record of the song by Pavarotti many times, to learn from him as soon as I can. My new teacher taught me to sing it just one time on Tuesday night. Then I learned to sing it following Pavarotti. Even though I can not pronounce the letter "R" well yet, I recorded my singing in Italian, English and Chinese, as a practice and hope to bring you a big smile. My language and singing are on a low level now, I will do my best to learn in the coming time. Just hope the Chinese part will be a little bit help to you to learn Chinese.

Chinese Classical Poem 0096 -- 0033(By Su Shi) & Shirley Created Music-0081--04: Ducks Know the Spring Has Come At The First-- Huichong Chun Jian Wan Jing
I had created a new picture to match this classical poem to express the meaning, that a duck knows that the spring has come, because she has felt that the river water had been warm at the first. On my art lesson, my teacher gave my painting 80 marks and thought if I cut down the bottom part, the mark should be higher for it would be a better one. I did it and hope you think so, too.
