Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

這幾天看冬奧時發現冰上舞蹈的冠軍Tessa Virtue和Scott Moir on將冰上舞蹈完全帶入另一個層級, 近乎完美的表演讓人印象深刻.

I saw the amazing ice dances performed by Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir on TV in these days because of Vancouver 2010. This couple won the 2010 Olympic champions and for sure levered the ice dance to another level.

下面是YouTube上的影片.

There are some videos available on YouTube.

蕭邦 Chopin

1810年2月22日偉大的音樂家蕭邦誕生, 因此今年有非常多的活動慶祝他200歲生日. H和我去的這場音樂會正好是在他生日的前一天, 主辦人就是為了幫蕭邦慶生的, 而典雅的國家音樂廳也為這場音樂會加分不少.

音樂會後和R到盧卡咖啡用餐, 非關蕭邦~ :-)

Chopin was born on Feb 22nd, 1810. Therefore this year there are many celebrations for this great musician's 200-years-old birthday. The concert H and I went to was one day before Chopin's birthday. The host meant to celebrate it for Chopin, and the elegant National Concert Hall made the concert even more amazing.

After the concert, R and I had a joyful dinner at Luccano. It's not Chopin related. :-)

農曆年 Chinese New Year

過年前照例活動聚會一堆, 讓我在還沒忘記前把還沒記的記一下吧~

1/2 參加H的婚宴
1/17 老友A來林口拜訪
1/23 和H去聽蕭邦啟蒙講座
2/6 和外公吃飯
2/7 參加P的婚宴, 然後和一些研究所的同學和兩位斯洛維尼亞的朋友聚餐

至於過年本身, 今年我只放五天假, 雖然短, 但還是有機會跟朋友敘舊以及和家人在一起, 很幸福ㄋㄟ~ 慘的是初一和朋友聚完餐再和剛回來的小外甥很high的玩了一天後, 我感冒的喉嚨痛瞬間變成嚴重的失聲, 讓我大過年病了幾天~ 不過ㄚ~ 所謂否極泰來, 沒事沒事~

There are many gatherings and events right before the Chinese New Year. Let me shortly record what I remembered for now.

1/2 Joined H's wedding banquet
1/17 Had my old friend A to visit my place
1/23 Joined a lecture about Chopin
2/6 Had the dinner with Grand Father
2/7 Joined P's wedding banquet and then had the gathering with some RSM colleagues and two Slovenia friends

This year the Chinese New Year holiday was only 5 days for me, but I still had enough time to catch up with my friends at Tainan and to spend time with my family. Unfortunately I got a cold resulting in losing my voice for few days. Well, in Chinese there is an idiom saying that "when misfortune reaches the limit, good fortune is at hand". I always choose to believe it. :-p
