回旅館稍微小睡休息一下，之後決定回到前一天沒看成的Het West-Indisch Huis去看看。大航海時代West India Company西印度公司和West India Company東印度公司分別從美洲地區和亞洲地區運輸貨物讓荷蘭獲得巨大的財富，阿姆斯特丹身為海港都市尤其受惠。這裡是前西印度公司在阿姆斯特丹的總部，現在變成很有氛圍的餐廳。
第二天早上，被媽媽的國際電話叫起來。因為Pocket Wifi 沒電了，所以媽媽沒辦法用Line聯絡我。是說，電話可以通為什麼完全沒有網路呢？媽媽這麼急打來原來是爸爸確診了。他們擔心我也確診，因為我在起飛前剛好拉肚子。Oh no, 難道這一整天就要在房間裡度過嗎？當下突然覺得有點餓，於是我戴上口罩走到附近的全家，買了簡單的飯糰順便想寄快遞給我的朋友。
一開始醫生只是保守的說，有很多可能性，下週再回來照一次，如果胃還是偏大，我們得好好談談（we'll have a long discussion.) 這樣一聽，誰能放得下心呢。隔日回到婦產科，我們擔心的詢問婦產科醫生看超音波的醫生的話究竟是什麼意思，詹姆士追問究竟最壞的情況有多糟。不問則已，一問睡不著 XD
簡單說，有幾種可能：
a. 胎兒在肚子裡喝了太多水還沒排掉
b. 未來生出來後胃可能需要手術
c. 發展遲緩的徵兆，有可能會是唐氏症
This is the (12+1)th year making my own greeting cards for the Lunar New Year. I can’t believe it, either! Once again, the card design didn’t get finalized until mid Jan due to the usual suspects. lol
‘使用’說明 Here’s How To (No Pain No Gain!) :
PS：顏色滿一點效果較佳！ Bold color combo works better for this Zoetrope project!
因為實在拖延太久，某人又再度心生退意（哈！）但是，好不容易超過一輪，再晚也還是要尬出來啊～而且今年可能會是告別作！This could be the final year designing the greeting card...We'll see!
Final Test: PS: 因為我放了太多類似的影片在YouTube，最後的成品影片被當成spam被拿掉，嗚嗚～

原來我已經不小心做了超過一輪了... 回顧
Why is it so hard to design this time?
I want it to be a non-static design, and that requires doing many many prototypes first.
I've looked up the phenakistoscope, spinning top, Jewish dreidel, and zoetrope. Considering the ease of mailing, I need to think about how to make zoetrope without additional material. I got the idea of making the base like a dreidel. I tested with different sizes, number of flaps, angles of the bottom base, and finally locked with the current design.
I don't know what to draw for the animation strips!
I can draw, but drawing for animation is not something I am good at. It's easier to draw something relevant, but...I don't know how to draw dogs ? lol
I settled with a Samoyed dog, although mine looks more like a bear, haha!
Unplanned manual jobs (trimming and scoring) ☠
I had tried very hard to avoid any sort of manual work, but still ended up doing scoring and trimming for the strips because they are printed on the same cardstock which is too thick to bend.
