Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.
Except daily work, this week, I have been working on my researching report.
Last year, I completed 3 papers with 110.000 Chinese characters on the company’s development stratagem except our daily work. This year, I made much energy to practise the opinions of us in the business working. Last years, I worked on many different single media, and a part of the product process. This year, I worked among the multi-medias, to adjust the work, relationship among the medias: magazine, newspaper, web site, TV, telephone, mobile phone and database every day. To work on whole of the producing process, from design, development, maintaining, marketing and sales to the service of the customers…
I often think that since my work has given me the best opportunity to touch and to find many interesting phenomena among the multi-medias and whole of the producing process. So, I do have the responsibility to think of them and to research them, to offer the result of my thinking and researching to the company as one of the high layer manager of the company.
So, even though no one had asked me to work in my New Year's Holiday, I have been using to write a researching report or a proposal within my holidays for 5 years.
I do enjoy the researching work and I do enjoy sitting in my peaceful and comfortable office to read, to think and to write something. As usual, I work in my office for at least 3 hours in the morning in my holiday, then I came back home to enjoy my relaxed time and to learn art of painting, music and language learning.
After treating my first vocal music teacher to have a Christmas dinner, I stopped the lesson from her. I would like to learn to sing from my new vocal music teacher in the coming time and continue to learn to paint from my art teacher in 2008. Also, I have registered to be a student of Beijing Foreign Language University. I will learn English via the Internet mainly for 3 years.
Their students must pass their entrance examination, but I need not for my education background.
I am really happy for I have found a best way to learn English in the best Foreign Language University of China via the Internet. I enjoy its advanced and flexible teaching styles indeed. They have a teaching center in Shenzhen and offer a lesson weekly, but, I am free to chose to attend it or not. This is really the most ideal teaching and learning way that I have found for a long time.
In the coming 3 years, I will learn 12 English lessons and attend 12 examinations; I am confident about myself to complete my lesson ahead. After all, finally I have got an opportunity to have a formal English education. Finally I have become a formal student in the best Foreign Language University in China. What a lucky and happy person I am!
Are you happy for me? Do you have any plan to improve yourself via some style?

Shirley Created Art -- Gouache--0105: A Spring Pool
I had felt too difficult to paint gouache with my brush and color directly as I painted a Chinese Xieyi painting. But, when I really worked on it, I did feel it has offered me much enjoyment and freedom more than to paint with a draft with pencil at the first. My teacher gave me 90 marks in my art lesson on Thursday in Shenzhen. I uploaded it onto my web site in Hainan -- the second island in the most southern part of China. How do you think of this picture? Do you like it?

Shirley Sung Chinese Art Song 0031: Songhua Jiang Shang -- On the Songhua River
My business trip canceled my time to record a song. So, since Thursday, Dec 13 is the 70th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre in 1937. I would like to show you a song that I learned on the National Humiliation Day of China on September 18. On the same day in 1931, the Japanese troops covered the provinces of northeast of China and started the war to China in the Far East in the Second World War. I learned and sang it with tears. I do wish China is getting stronger with the effort of all of the Chinese. I do wish the historical tragedy will not recur with the effort with all of the people who love peace in the world. I am not satisfied with my singing yet and I will re-sing it later. But, I hope it will be a little bit help to you to learn Chinese culture and to improve your Chinese aural comprehension.

Chinese Classical Poem 0090(By He Zhizhang) & Shirley Created Music 080--01: Yong Liu -- Intone A Willow
Willow is the sign of spring. So, it is something to be admired by the artists of language, painting, music and so on. The poem Yong Liu, Intone a Willow by Tang Dynasty Poet He Zhizhang, is just one of the best works to admire a willow. It is famous because of the lines that "I wonder who has tailored the thin leaves, the spring wind in February is just like a pair of scissors". So, I have created some music and have created a picture to match it and hope you enjoy them.

Shirley's Essays: Lives - 011: Where Are You Now? My Little Baby Parrots?
After painting birds and flowers for 4 years and 7 months, I have become a bird fan. So, I bought my first couple of baby parrots. With beautiful feature, lovely activities and voices, they had brought me a lot of delight and happiness. However, my cleaning lady lost them for she had forgotten to close the door of the cage. I did not complain her and I have had another 4 new parrots now. But, I am still missing my lost little birds. So, I have written an article to remember them and hope you enjoy it.
