From Taipei: a fish story.

Hi Catherine

Sorry for the late reply. :P I just finish my terrible midterm. Now I’m waiting for the grade and hope that I can pass all of them. I was thinking about to reply you short e-mail, but I’ll worry about that will make you feel that I didn’t take this e-mail serious. So I still prefer to write you a long e-mail and can exactly express what I want to say.

My health problem is good. I know health is most important things for everyone, but sometime I don’t take that so serious. Maybe the reason is I think I still young, really childish right? But I bought a lot of insurance for myself.

Saigon sounds really great. I was thinking about to work at Vietnam. These several years Vietnam and Taiwan have a lot of industrial cooperation. That makes me think of the 1990’s China. Although Vietnam is a potential country, Vietnam still got cancel in my list, it’s too close to Taiwan, and what I want is something totally new. Anyway, share with me after your great travel.

Grace mom told me she has to change the time to let people meeting with you. Because the IT-month is coming, it’s from Nov.29th till Dec.7th. Everyone will be there. But we still can meet; you can call me when you have time.

Actually, many things happen in this month. And the biggest thing is I move to a new apartment. Moving to a new apartment make me happier, is a better environment. My new apartment is my aunt’s old houses, now she moves to another bigger place. This means, I don’t need to pay the rent! House is really big and has four floors and only me in there. My aunt left her one Labrador and three big turtle, and I have to take care of them. And I raise a cat. Can you image how noisy in my house? Ha ha ha ha.

After the house moving and midterm, I got the terrible influenza. After few days fever and day off, now is better. That make me easily achieve my goal, I lose 3kg. happy happy~.

I got the point of what you former CEO said. “Never underestimate people’s desire to know the truth”. In other words, if I always say yes and accept the thing I don’t like to do, people won’t know what you really feel and will misunderstand you. That occurs me another real story from my family. This story is in my mom’s childhood. Every time when there was fish in the dinner, my grandma always ate the head of the fish and yields the fish body to my mom, aunt and uncle. At that time, my mom thought that my grandma really loved to eat fish head. But that was a big mistake. However, my grandma always eats fish head for many years and makes her used to that. When my mother found out that my grandma wasn’t like to eat the fish head is too late. Now my grandma is really enjoy in eating fish head. I think this is a sad story. But I believe in my grandma point of view is opposite. Probably, when the reason is strong enough, than you can accept the thing you don’t like. And finally you’ll be enjoying that?? Haha…it’s weird to put this story here.


Recently I have a big fight with my ex-boy friend. It’s another complicated story…and also stupid. Anyway, it’s all because my hysteria and too emotional. And I’ll reflect myself these days.


See you soon.
