Revisit Happy Hours (再訪快樂時光)

More people showed up at Teacher Chen’s Studio (陳老師道場) today, so I’d better add another blog entry!

	Yuki (惠芳) finally showed up today! Of course, the first thing she said when she saw me was, “Where were you last night? I was waiting for you late into the night!” Oops! Last night I had changed my mind at the very last second, because I was totally exhausted from my retreat, my lack of sleep, and my cold… I guess that I’d better take a pretty photo of Yuki to make her forget about it!

	The new students Angel (如綾) and her very cute daughter (婷筠). Angel and I both were straightforward and enjoyed a good laugh. Her daughter was very nice and likable and had none of the annoying teenager’s trait. The mother and daughter both were curious babies and short of patience: They desperately wanted to be able to stop spinning and do the Chi Kung dance like the other girls. But, hey, girls, be patient! When the time arrived, you would be able to dance all you wanted!
	Quite a few students showed up today, considering that it was a long weekend. Two more students were on the other side of the studio.

Irene and Daddy.	It was unusual to see Teacher Chen practicing Chi Kung for this long, with so many expressions and postures. Later on we learned that the Eight Immortals (八仙) had just paid a visit. No wonder!

Irene was bargaining with her mommy, Isabel (晴意), about when to go home. She wanted to go home at 10:30pm, but Isabel replied 10pm. She then pleaded 10:15pm, but Isabel firmly responded 9:45pm. As you could see, Irene didn’t seem very happy about it; her expressions got stiffer and stiffer as she learned that she couldn’t persuade Isabel.
