About the design
We say “Time flies,” but no one can see it's flying. Although time goes as like a shot arrow, we should live life to its fullest. Daily calendar reminds us of such leesson.
A Chinese calligraphy master Wang Xizhi once held a banquet by the river, where each guest reads a poem before a sake cup floats away in front of him. This took place back in 353. I wonder what is happening today in 2010.
