New job begins and Christmas songs Today is the first day of my new job. My boss organized an experience-sharing meeting this afternoon. One of the group members shared her experience of a complex deal happened recently and the other members asked questions. All of them sound very very professional to me, since some of the terms and structures I have little knowledge of. It will be a changeling job for me. After work, I went to the Bookworm Cafe to attend a monthly classical music open mic. Tonight was a bit different. Instead of playing instruments freely, like the event used to be about, the musicians there were singing Christmas songs. One piece after another. And 90 percent of them I hadn’t heard of before. I asked one of the audiences who sat beside me that why everyone can sing those songs, and she told me that these were all Christmas songs, and almost every European can sing these songs when they were kids. Even though I don’t understand the lyrics, I can feel the greatest and purest joy on those performers’ face and was deeply moved by the beautiful sound.
