free~


I'd been busy with the yearly music competitions. At the end of the choir contest this afternoon, I  breathed a sigh of relief.
After months of rehearsals, hard work and determination, there were three 6th grade girls of our school took part in the solo traditional music competitions Nov.3 and the traditional band entered the contest Nov.12. One solo player got a good result, but the other results weren't satisfactory. I put some pressure on myself to be better. The tears welled up in my eyes when I got to know the result of band competition. It's expected, though. The kids were disappointed. However, they did their best. Most of them are the beginners and younger than other schools. I'm happy the kids and I overcame difficulties together these months. I've been in charge of the band for 5 years. These kids are united and the loveliest. I'm so proud of them!

bike riding


My sis-in-law gave us the sliding bike. I sometimes ride to school. Finally, we decided to buy a Merida 21-speed bike a few days ago so we can go bike riding together. It cost $10500. We rode along the Da-Han River to 鶯歌 this afternoon. The round trip was about 20km. We'll try to ride to 淡水 next time.
