Sincere Blessing -- Shirley's 146th Friendly Greeting -- Sun, July 13rd,2008

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you? Is every thing ok with you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.

This is an extra busy week. Except daily work, I have organized the 5th yearly speech game as a part of the company enterprise culture. Around of the topic of "Dedication of Love in 2008" past through 2 times playing, 17 groups of people took part in the final and over 450 colleagues attended the activity on Saturday.

All players recited their speech content and most of them were accompanied by music, lantern slide, TV or cartoon films. Songs, collectivity reciting and band were plugged into the speeches. Innovation, collectivism and new technology became one of the bright scenery of the game.

As usual, we offered them professional makeup and directions. We rewarded everyone different certificate, bonus, and cup according to their work. All players, judges, clerks were attached different signs on their clothes. We will also make a DVD as a memory and to extend the enterprise culture.

After the speech, all colleagues and their family members were invited to watch a movie ? Hancock. All people who had come from the other offices and branches in the other cities were treated a dinner party. I did not watch the movie and I did not have the dinner for I did feel too tired. Whole of the Sunday, I attended a marketing meeting and a summarization meeting of the first half year.

In addition to work, I have also done a lot of things in my free time. I have invited my art and music teachers to have a dinner and to thank their hard work for me. I have attended a dinner of a couple of my best friends, to welcome their son came back home and to discuss his study in Beijing, Hong Kong or the other place. I have also seen a dentist, an optometrist and a traveling agent, to check my teeth, to order a pair of new glasses and to apply a visa. A piece of bad news is that the hard working on English has made the myopia of my eyes was deepened 50 degrees already.

A good thing is that today ? July 13, 2008 is my son¡¯s 22nd birthday. Until now, he has been abroad for 6 years and he will graduate from his university this summer. Since the time of his graduation ceremony and my possible traveling have not been made sure, for avoiding the time crash, I have decided to see my son at the first. So, if there is nothing special, I will get my visa in 10 days. Then I will fly to him to discuss some thing about his development direction and life and work plan after he graduates for at least 1 week.

How about you? Do you have anything special in your work and life this week?

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi -- 0172: Little Birds & Plum Blossom Practice--02
May 22nd -- July 6, I had been involved myself into my English learning deeply so that I often felt having an itching for painting. So, this week, even though I am extra busy, sometimes to have 3 or 4 meetings in one afternoon; sometimes to drive to 3 or 4 places within 5 or 6 hours. And I had to work for the company on Saturday and Sunday. However, I never wanted to miss my art lesson and I was trained to attach 4 colors on one brush at the same time and to create a new art result. I was interested on the new ways and I did feel that I should learn so many things in the Chinese traditional painting field. My teacher thought that except the bamboo, I had done a good job. So, this picture was given 92 marks. How do you think of this picture? Do you like it?

Bilingual Song--0032: Shirley Sings the Chinese Art Song --0034: "Guxiang de Xiaolu -- The Little Road of My Hometown" in English & Chinese
This is one of my favorite songs. I enjoy the song for its tone and lyrics making me comfortable, calm and peaceful. So, I would like to sing it for my son who is in the far away place on his birthday of 22 years old. I do hope that he has a happy birthday and grow up healthily, happily and smoothly. I do hope that he would feel happiness and love from his mother from the far away China. I had to have a meeting in the company for whole of the Sunday and I had no much time to sing and to record it. So, I just sang it in Chinese and use the English part that I had translated and sang before here. I do hope that you enjoy it.

Friend--015: My Little Friend --Yi Bo's Music Works --02
Yin Bo is one of my little friends. He is as old as my son and he is major in computer in a university in Beijing and he is good at piano and Chinese zither. Yin Bo's parents are famous doctors in my city. His mother is an authority in her field. They are my best friends because they love life and work, work and live with a positive attitude as I do. So, even though we are very busy and stand heavy responsibilities, Yi Bo's mother and I keep a close connecting via telephones often and we have a dinner together. Friday night, after a dinner, they sent me back home and Yin Bo played some piano music for us. I made a record for him and I hope that it will bring you a smile...

I am just a learner on that art of painting, music English and Chinese language, to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a little bit things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be an Electronic Bridge of Culture Exchange, Language Learning & Friendship. To help the others while to improve myself.

I appreciate your understanding, directions and supports. I do hope to get your friendly help...
