Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.
This is the last week before Chinese National Day鈥檚 Holiday. All people will have a 7 days holiday from Oct 1 to Oct 7. Our company gives us a 9 days holiday from Sep 28 to Oct 7.
Instead of traveling as usual, I want to stay at home for a peaceful rest, because I did feel that I was burnt out too much and I could fall asleep anywhere and at any time. So that sometimes, I made a joke, that I would be the most delighted person, if I could sleep for 3 days鈥�
I did many things in the company and at home in the last week. After the project group completed our final technology testing of the two new products, we made a report to the company and applied to buy a group of servers to support the running of the new products. We finished our report Thursday at 5:00pm. The equipment buying report was authorized friday at 8:30 am. The first 11 new servers will be in the company as soon as the holiday is finished. Meanwhile, I organized some departments by making a primary proposal to update one of our information exchange systems between the listed companies and their investors ? We created it in 1999 and it has been updated many times and now it has become a top system in the industry in China. Also I dealt with an accident that was happened in the most information publishing system of us and organized someone to find some resolve way temporarily and enduringly...
I was quite tired on my body and in my mind. I was delighted and easy in my heart, when I left from my office Friday night. so that I could not help to dance as soon as I entered my home for I would finally have a holiday鈥�
At my home, a big thing is that the Natural Gas Company has completed the work to change my coal gas system to natural gas system. I did want to stay at home for a while for the "Good Reason", but I just spent 1.5 hours to buy a new natural gas cooker and to see the workers completing their job in my lunch time. I am happy to see the great changing in the city. In the past short 15 years, the fuel in my kitchen has been changed from coal gas of the bottle to be coal gas of the tube and the natural gas right now. Oh, our city ? Shenzhen is the first one to import the natural gas from Australia.
A funny thing this week is that I was not used to the life that my cleaning lady absented in the first 3 days. Until Thursday, I just felt ok to do every family thing ? to clean rooms and kitchen, to wash clothes and to take rubbish out by myself. I just realized why people called me "a single noble" right now. Ha, when I have been used to do everything by myself, my cleaning lady will come back I guess.
Do you have any holiday recently? How do you spend your holiday usually?

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi 0155: Sweet Fruit
Every Gongbi Painting makes me burnt out. After completing my last Chinese Gongbi painting last weekend. I did not want to create any new painting for a classical poem as usual. I just painted this picture in my art lesson and I have read some art and music books quietly. My teacher thought, that I had done a good job and gave me 90 marks. But, when I put it on the web site, I cut down its left part for I did not think the bird there is good. How do you think of this picture? Do you like it?

Bilingual Song--010: Shirley Sings A Chinese Art Song "Mei Niang Qu" -- A Song of Girl Mei in English & Chinese
This is a famous song by Mr. Nie Er. Since 1931 to 1937, the Japanese army occupied the Northeast 3 provinces and whole of China. All the patriotic Chinese were fighting against the Japanese fascist and many overseas Chinese came back to China to take part in the fighting. A young girl Mei sent her lover for China in South Asia, then she followed him to come to China. But he was wounded in the war and he has not known her already. So she sang the song for him and wished him to wake up in her singing. I learned to translate it and to sing it in English and Chinese. Hope it is a little bit help to you to know more about Chinese culture.

Chinese Classical Poem 0097 (By Gao Shi) & Shirley Created Music-0081-05: A Farewell Song For Dong Da - Bie Dong Da
This poem is famous for its last two lines -- Mo Chou Qianlu Wu Zhiji, Tianxia Shuiren bu Shi Jun -- Don't worry for not having a bosom friend on your traveling road ahead, who does not know you as a famous musician in the world? I enjoy it for it was encouraging a friend who would go on his long and hard traveling road in a heavy snow with a very optimistic and positive life attitude. I have written a piece of music to match it. I do hope my effort will be a little bit help to you to improve your Chinese listening level.
