Hello there,
It has been a little quiet for us lately concerning Chinese. We moved to our new and big apartment, which took a while, since we had to wait for new furniture and for our rooms to be painted. There is still a lot to be done, but at least the basic needs are present.
Our home is modern Chinese style, of course, balancing black leather with sicham wood. Apart from the regular rooms (like kitchen, toilet, bathroom, living and sleeping room), one room is dedicated to the practice of Wing Chun and another to office and library use. In the latter a lot of my time will be spent translating, programming and writing.
Since March, we are member of the
British Astronomical Association, as to broaden my experience and knowledge in Astronomy. In a later stage, I would like to start with astrophotography.
During my IT courses at CVO Lokeren, I started thoroughly focusing on Wing Chun concepts that I had in mind for years. Since my Hong Kong experience, the concept became more than realistic. Especially with a real experienced Sifu to back up my techniques.
As a project for web design, I decided to combine the examination task with a Wing Chun project to fill the content. The rest I will keep as a surprise until it’s ready to be unveiled to the world.
My translation business is starting to look good. Lately, I had a lot of work as copywriter, and although it is not translating, the list of satisfied clients is growing bit by bit. I nearly concluded the first half of the IP Man movie subtitles in Dutch.
I decided to build yet another website for all the novels, poems and philosophical texts, with all the drawings related to it, and this to encourage my present writing project. One that will reflect my experience living in China.
You might think I am busy with too much, but I try to intertwine all the projects with each other, in order to refrain making unnecessary sacrifices. Furthermore, none of the subjects are new to me. They kept me interested for more than ten years already. A lot of thought has already been put in them.
All in all, the Alien RiddleR website will get a boost persuant to all these projects.
