Check out my recording and let me know what you think!

I came to support you, Annie. Last year, I could only understand you, but this year I enjoy the entire show (yeah my listening skill is a lot better ^_^).

As last year, I like your funny songs, Annie ^_^

Annie won first prize. Congratulations!!!

These days it gradually becomes warmer. This is my first time I has the joy of looking forward to sniffing the Spring air coming everywhere (my home city never has Spring season). The trees are now full of buds that promise to show us beautiful flowers. Recently I like to go to the campus pool area, sit on the grass and enjoy the fresh air while doing my monotonous reading assignments for Management course to make them less tedious. The light blowing wind makes me fall asleep. Then I lie on the grass, close my eyes and let my fingers touch the grass trembling in the cool air, my ears hear the birds singing and my nose smell the scent of new leaves dissolved in water of the pool evaporating. Two days ago I had the luck of hearing live music when two other students play their instruments beside the pool. It was so relaxing when I could enjoy all these combining sounds and smells.

But not all the days are nice. Yesterday, sitting on the grass and looking over the whole nice scene but quite deserted with some couples at the pool, the chilly wind suddenly made me feel so lonely and homesick that I couldn't stand. I tried to escape and decided to stop by Music Building to practise my bad piano skill (hope nobody unluckily hear my sounds at that time, haha). Today is even worse, a raining afternoon prevents me from walking to my favorite place.

And the day after:

A lovely little tree...

... and a lovely path
