金庸

自從我小時候,我爸媽經常會說起金庸的武俠小說。他們說起「射雕英雄傳」的郭靖和楊康,也說起小時候天天搶著報紙看下一集。我一直都愛看武俠片,也知道應該會喜歡看武俠小說,但是中文水平不足夠看得懂。我近年比較用心的去看中文書、提高中文程度、並且精讀之前被鎖住的寶書和故事。其實我一生也試過看金庸的書籍可能六七次了,但是不停的需要查字典真的是個很大的障礙。我去年再次開始看一本金庸的作品「書劍恩仇錄」。這次雖然也是還有很多不會的詞語,不過堅持到今天終於看完第一本。「書劍恩仇錄」有兩本,所以故事還沒看完。但是還是感覺今天完成了一個人生目標:看完一本金庸書。 (特別感謝我的中文補習老師和Pleco中字典app)

New music No performance of music is Continue reading Why listen to live music?

GroundUP Music Festival 2018

Immediately after leaving New Orleans, we flew to Miami for GroundUP Music Festival 2018. Last year was such an incredible experience that we had to go again. The format was pretty similar to last year. The biggest change was that performances didn’t start until 2 or 3 in the afternoon, as opposed to a noon start-time Continue reading GroundUP Music Festival 2018
