I’ve just been on the phone with my dry grandma (???).  She lives in Vancouver, is effectively my dad’s dry mum, and since we were kids has always sent us birthday cards without fail.

She has a really rich, cultured Mandarin that I’ve never heard from any other Taiwanese person.  Oh and she uses lots of big Chinese words.  In any case, we had a good long chat about how to approach my dad as his child, and also as a fellow adult.  My dry grandma raised concerns about whether my dad would remarry, and I found unexpectedly that all the way in Vancouver, someone’s praying for our family.

In other news, I’m on holiday!  Well, midsemester break: which effectively means assignments to be working on, revarnishing that deck this weekend, work, and lots of other things I’d like to get done these holidays.

One thing I’ve already achieved can be seen here!  I’ve finally gotten round to making a proper mix of one of my songs.  I chose “Birthday Wish” since it’s Good Friday today, and apart from amateurish vocals I think it turned out okay!  A slice from one of my compositions last year has also been put up.

So yes, I’m hoping to build up the music section of this site.  Stay tuned!
