Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well and have had an easy and relaxed weekend.
Usually, the Chinese New Year season (Spring Festival) is for 15 days. In cities, we have a national holiday for 5 or 7 days. In the countryside, people spend their holiday from 1 to 15 of the Chinese traditional calendar. It will be finished until the Festival of Lanterns has past. After a 7 day's holiday, we started to work on Wednesday, Feb 13, 2008.
According to the customs in South China, the general manager gave everyone a red paper bag with some money as the opening gift. The single girls/boys in the company went to wish the elders or their managers a happy new year. As a return, we gave them red bags, too. A funny thing is that after giving more than 30 ones, I found that I just knew 2 of the young people.
In the 3 business days this week, I have done many things. To attend daily manager meetings, to deal with the newspapers, they were thicker than 30 centimeters, because of my traveling; to write investigation report about my business trip in Shanghai and to do my industry researching Saturday morning.
Thursday afternoon, the biggest shareholder of the company heard our yearly work report. In 2007, our revenue was risen 36% than last year and the after-tax profit was risen 330%.
In stead of retiring ahead, I am continuing to work for the company. Except the company has given my work a good evaluation via some way, I enjoy my work more and more. I have completed the changing from a manager who worked on one point /part to be the one who is working and adjusting more points/parts real time. To find problems, research and resolve them, then to upgrade the solutions on a theory level, then to direct the coming practice. The creation, innovation and challenge are just something I enjoy. They are making me delight and feel my own value to work for the company and the society.
So, I will work harder on improving myself in the 4 fields of art of management, language, painting and music in the coming 5 years.
In the management field, I would like to continue my research on the corporation core competition power, corporation web site’s business model and something else the company asks me to do...
How about you? Do you have any plan to improve yourself in the coming 5 years?

Shirley Created Art -- Gouache--0118: Flowers on the Mountains
My teacher was surprised of my painting so that he thought that maybe it was the traveling in the disaster time had given me some inspiration. Yes, maybe for I just came back from a world of ice and snow, I did have the feeling to express the snow on the mountains. So, my teacher thought the best work on the picture is that I had "pushed" the Snow Mountains far away even though I used some very deep colors. So, I was given 90 marks. How do you think of this picture? Do you like this it?

Shirley Sings A Chinese(Xingjian) Folk Song 063: Ma Yi La
My new music teacher is on her business trip and I have not had any music lesson this week. So, I taught myself a new Chinese folk song. I found it before the Chinese New Year’s Day. And I so like it. I would like to sing it in English and Chinese. However, because the song is so fast that I could not sing it well in English even though I had sung it many times. And my time did not allow me to continue to record it in English. So, now, I can only sing it in Chinese and hope you enjoy it. I do hope that my singing will be a little bit help to you to improve your Chinese aural comprehension.
