My dad spent the first weekend with us. I took Regis to a math course at Nanshan High School on the Saturday morning. He'll take part in the math competition (APMOPS) next April. Felix stayed at home with my dad. We went to a vocal concert together on the Sunday afternoon. My sons enjoyed playing Chinese chess with him.
Felix ranked 1st on the exams in his class again and got top scores on math, physics and social studies exams. For National Music Competition next spring Felix started his first composition lesson on Nov.19. Regis started on Dec.11. Mr. Han comes give them lessons once a month for NT$1200.
On Christmas weekend we went go to two concerts. One was a concert by my children's piano teacher and other musicians, and the other was a salon concert by Felix's cello teacher.
Our neighbor, the husband of my husband's colleague, passed away from cancer on Dec.27. I was a little surprised because I didn't expect him to die before the end of this year!
