Four Seasons

HKCO19Nov11

I am in the school strings.  Our conductor is Woo, who is also the soloist and conductor of the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra. On Saturday night (19 November 2011), it presented Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at the St. Margaret’s Church in Happy Valley.  My parents and I attended the concert.

The St. Margaret’s Church is a beautiful old building, sitting on the top of a flight of stairs.  It is pale in colour and western in style.  There have been four occasions when I came across similar buildings.

The Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra composes of roughly 30 musicians.  That night they played a number of songs, including the Orchestra member, Austin Yip’s Psalm 61, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the fifth season – the Angry Bird tune.  They put up a very good performance.  The songs lifted up my soul.

Well done, Woo!

南丁格爾

書名;南丁格爾 -- 戰火中的護理先鋒

作者;林文月

出版社;突破叢書

出版日期;2008年

對角色的評價;

南丁格爾生於非常富有的上層社會家庭,受到父親悉心裁培,精通多國語文、哲學、歷史、數學。十七歲起下定決心要從事護理工作 ---- 一項被當時人視為低下卑微、不受尊重的工作。南丁格爾的父母強烈反對她做護士,勸她嫁給上流社會的富家子弟,享受舒適的生活。可是,她當護士的決心從未動搖。在這兩個例子可以知道南丁格爾很勇敢、有決心和對自己有信心。

Dan Ryan’s Chicago Grill

Tonight, my family, my grandma and I had dinner at Dan Ryan’s Chicago Grill.  It was in a shopping mall called Pacific Place at Admiralty.  We ate sumptuous American dishes there.  It cost six-hundred dollars!  However, the food was yummy.  After dinner, we went to Upper House Hotel because Dad’s winning photo was on display.
