The 23rd Friendly Greeting From Shirley, China, Sun, Jan 22,2006

Hi,Dear Friends
How are you? Have you had a good week? I do hope you are well and you are enjoying a relaxed and easy weekend.
It will be Chinese New Year's Day soon and we will start a 10 day's Spring Festival holiday from next Thursday. So, it is a very busy week in the company. After a very hard work year, our company has over fulfilled the production quota and profit target. We are going working harder for a better target in the New Year. : - )
I wanted to catch the last several business days for my project and also worked on the daily work and many meetings. Every, I run up the stair when there is no the other on it ? I have to keep my feature as a manager. :-) I enjoy running up on the stairs several times for it makes me feel that my legs are still very light and I often drive in the morning and have a walk to go to work in the afternoon. :-) Anyway, it is near a long holiday and most of the people in the city will go back their hometown. So, to driving is safer than to walk in the night. :-)
A fun thing this week is that I had forgot my Midi music lesson on Monday evening for I had not had it for several weeks so that my melodizing teacher visited me and helped me to fix the line between the Yamaha keyboard and computer. I am so happy that I can write music on the Yamaha and what I have written can be written and printed via the computer at the same time. :-)
A funnier thing is that Sunday afternoon I drove for 15 minutes to go to the company's work summary, dinner and party yearly but I parked for 40 minutes and I crashed my car on another one that was stopping there. After the clerks from insurance company completed the work to check my car and took a picture computer recorder the accident via a camera and computer. Time was so late and the cold weather made my nose water could no be stopped, so, instead of going to the party, I came back home to create a piece of music. :-) First time, I tried to use the metronome and I hope that you enjoy it. :-)

Chinese Xieyi--062(Flower & Bird): Singing Together In The Spring
It is near the end of the Chinese New Year. I have no much time to paint. However, I have been keeping having my art lessons. In the past 2.5 years, all of my art lessons were 75 times for 225 hours and 53 times of them for 159 hours were had in 2005. I do feel that the more learning; the more cherish time and opportunity. Do you know that most of the lessons were Chinese Xieyi? I do feel that I need a direction from a teacher for it needs higher skills than Chinese Gongbi and Gouache. First time, I created 4 birds with flowers, stone and bamboo within 2 hours on Wed. I am sure, you will be happy for my progress as a good friend. Right? : - )

Chinese Classical Poems--028:Looking At the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away -- Wang Yue Huai Yuan
I am feeling that in both of China and Western cultures, moon sounds like always relating to the feeling of love, missing and thinking of, the poem by Zhang Jiuling is same. I enjoy it for it expresses the feelings to miss a friend, a family or a lover via the way to imagine how the other was thinking of the poet, instead of saying how he miss her directly. :-) I used the metronome in Yamaha to help me to create and play the music first, but I do not know how to make its sound smaller than the theme yet. : - )

Germany Song Is Sung In Chinese and English -- 003: Brahms' Lullaby
Along with the opening of China, more and more Western songs have been translated into Chinese. When I was singing the German Lullaby by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) I had not help to smile for I thought of A Chinese Lullaby -- Yaolan Qu that I had sung for you days ago. I do feel that the loves to children from mothers are same no matter what they are singing, what languages they are using and where they are from. Do you think so? Right? :-)
