新春快乐

嗨，今年有我代替米老鼠跟大家拜个早年。
老外也跟过春节，来听听他们唱新春歌曲。


維也納少年合唱團带来的刮地風

作詞：甘肅民謠　作曲：甘肅民謠　編曲：陳志遠

正月裡來是新春呀　青草芽兒往上升唉喲
天憑上日月你就人憑上心唉　人憑上心唉
哪哈依呀嘿

三月裡來是清明呀　桃花不開杏花紅唉喲
蜜蜂兒來去你就忙做工唉　忙做工唉
哪哈依呀嘿

五月裡來午端陽呀　楊柳梢兒插門窗唉喲
雄黃兒藥酒你就鬧端陽唉　鬧端陽唉
哪哈依呀嘿

七月裡來七月夕呀　天上牛郎配織女唉喲
織女嘛本來你就牛郎的妻呀　牛郎的妻呀
哪哈依呀嘿

九月裡來九重陽呀　黃菊花兒開路旁唉喲
有心腸採來你就無心腸栽唉　無心腸栽唉
哪哈依呀嘿

臘月裡來一年滿呀　金脂銀粉都辦全唉喲
打打呀扮扮你就過新年呀　過新年呀
哪哈依呀嘿

老外咬字不清，不如听听费玉清的版本吧！

Sheffield in Snow

Since yesterday, there were heavy snow fall, especially yesterday night. When I walk around this morning, the snow it's about an inch thick. This probably is the only snow Sheffield will get this year. Too bad I don't have a snow sledge, but did saw some kids playing with theirs. Most of the snow sledge are modern one, however there is one kid that has a wooden one.

Trip to Germany (Hunstetten)

I was on a trip to Germany to my friend house during New Year for a Week. I did not take much photos for that week. Well it was snowing for the whole week in Germany and the temperature was sub zero. I landed on Frankfurt airport and my friend pick me up to his place.



During the New Year Eve, my friends bought a few fireworks that look like the following pack. As it is country side, so it is not a problem for them to put up fireworks.



Here is one of the many fireworks that we put up.



A video that we visited a near by farm.

Say Cheese!

Considering purchasing a new camera, Well I think we have to take HD into consideration as well. I think we are going ahead with 720p for most HD, and I found a very interesting digital camera that will just do that. Well it can do additional things such as 60fps.


Casio Camera

Here is the Youtube video about this camera


Well I think storage will be high essential for this product.
