2月1日曦白的幸福


补记如下:
1、从初一到初六一直感冒发烧,今天终于大病痊愈;
2、准备接手影响因子20.263的Physics Reports,诚惶诚恐;
3、吃到同事送来的喜糖;
4、功夫不负有心人,终于找到了Leonidas巧克力专卖店;
5、一边吃饭一边MSN,得知自己要当干爹了,乐得合不拢嘴;
6、填好免税车报关单,三个月的辛苦选车宣告结束;
7、升级手机固件,安装SkyeCaller,以后来电可以显示大头照了;
8、和朋友分享这些微小而真实的幸福,才是昨晚最大的幸福。

Concert Logs: H2 2008


9 August 2008, National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing
Various Olympics Themes and Hollywood Soundtracks
Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
Erich Kunzel, conductor

Personal Rating: B

I quote my mom's comment: 小儿科做到极致还是小儿科。The programme is just not interesting enough for us to stay for the second half.



20 December 2008, National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing
Beethoven: Overture, Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, Op.122
Beethoven: Symphony No.9, Op.125
Zhang Liping, Liang Ning, Yuan Chenye, Wei Song
China National Symphony Orchestra
Chen Zuohuang, conductor

Personal Rating: B-

Appalling acoustic. Fully-orchestrated passages sound like a mono broadcast. How astonishing the designer got it all wrong. Calm Sea is well rehearsed, but Symphony No.9 suffers from too brisk a tempo in the andante, where all the suspense is lost. The two baritones are at least half a note off the orchestra and their voices barely audible. The only redeeming factor of this forgettable concert is Zhang Liping. She was as good as three years ago in La Traviata!

English Poem 4 - Christmas Eve


          Stanza - Christmas Eve

  How lovely the sweet hours of Christmas night,
  A time to cheer and bathe in candlelight.
  Thy cloudy gloom and sadness swept away,
  The transient eve shall bring immortal day.

Haiku 1

 
      Haiku 1

  Oblivious snow,
  Dresses lonely cliffs aloft.
  No merry warblers.
