End of the Application Process

Start of the nervous waiting-for-the-result process.

After a long time of struggle, with the support and help of many friends and relatives here and overseas, I finally made it, incredibly.

FIRST THANKS GOES TO-
Joey, without doubt!
From giving me advices on resume, reviewing my essays, to giving me model interview, Joey has been the most supportive person who is not only a personal English teacher, but also the mentor who shared lots of tips with me. And, he always encouraged me to be more confident of myself and what I have done so far.
Cheers, Joey!
Thanks for EVERYTHING.

SECOND THANKS GOES TO-
Those who had helped me on the revision of all the essays, or given me constructive suggestions on the writing directions. They are- Christine Lu and her brother, Joey Chung, Philip Ang(SG), Pedro de Gomes(BR), Polly Chien, Selina Fan, Serena Sah, Vincent Hsu, Yu-Lan Chang, Vanessa Pu. (Don't want to miss anyone of you!! But if I do, please forgive me.)

THIRD THANKS GOES TO-
Those who had helped me on the preparation of the TOEFL test. Still, I didn't work it out well. But it might be worse without your hands- Gary Mu, Jason Liao, Philip Ang(SG), Yao Hsiao.

FOURTH THANKS GOES TO-
Those helped much to ease my uneasiness on the NWU phone interview, though I failed their high expectation again... I didn't underestimate myself, but sincerely knew that I didn't prepare sufficient enough to satisfy my interviewer. However, in comparison with my achievement in the past, I had made some progress and learned quite a lot from the following experienced people, whether from their proficiency in business, HR experiences, or from their language abilities. These people includes-
Joey Chung
Thomas J. Chern, my uncle
Vanessa Pu
Xen-Li Tsia, my uncle

THE LAST, BUT NEVER THE LEAST THANKS GOES TO-
ALL OF YOU who cheered me, supported me, prayed for me, cherished me throughout the time, especially my Family :)

Regardless of the result, I knew I've accomplished something fantastic. And I'll keep going on fighting for upgrading myself in all fields I involve in.
Time to move on! Wendy!

鹿港小鎮行

鹿港小鎮真是個有趣的好地方，古色~~古香~~
還可以敲囉，ㄎㄨㄥ~~~(*3)祈求新年的好運道
你神秘兮兮的要問我八卦的時候表情真有趣，可惜問題本身一點也不....
我爸跟許爸熟到爛掉，我媽跟許媽就算沒很熟也絕對有話可聊，
你窮擔心啦~

話說回來，兩個爸抓著聊，兩個媽抓著聊，
我們兩個則東看看西晃晃也搭上幾句聊得開心，留著老弟在後面孤單的陪貓閑晃......
我的心情，就在你的照顧之下，很"大心" :)


喜歡鹿港，喜灣濃濃的台灣鄉土味
喔~還有喜歡玉珍齋(我們家瞬間已經幹掉三塊+?綜合酥了)
媽的最大遺憾是相機沒電，我的最大遺憾是沒有看到你家神秘四合院
好啦~有遺憾所以都會再來的嘛 :)

新年快樂!

Happy Piggy's Year!

Hello my friends, long time no see.
I've went back home to PingTung for a week, and also enjoyed two days in HuaLien and TaiTung. Briefly: a wonderful new year's break :)

Why was it so quiet here?
1. I lost the Internet connection when I went for the journey
2. I was still struggling for my phone interview for IMC Grad program of Northwestern University.
SHOULD BE BACK SOON!!!!!!!

Anyways,

HAPPY PIGGY'S NEW YEAR FOR ALL OF YOU!

DM Out of Island-Day 2

I woke up automatically again....
Oh well, it's the magic of that "place".....

After another day of work, when I arrived home, parking in the garage, I started the "conversation" with Pipi and that lasted for over 30 seconds. He cried behind our gate between basement and 1st floor while I was trying to pick up everything from the car and removing my shoes.
Pipi:"Meow......(You finally came back).....M~e~o~w~(How dare you to be so late~)"
Wendy:"Meow Meow...(Hey! I'm back! I'm sorry. I've tried to be earlier).....Meow(I'm Here, coming upstairs. Wait!"........

When I opened the gate, he happily jumped toward me, and raced with me to step up. Yet he stopped and lay down at our 1st floor carpet, showing me his stomach-
"Pat me here, Quick!" I read that from his eyes and action.
With a handful of stuffs, I laughed and gave him a "sorry"smile.
"See, I can't now. But I'll do that soon when I put things down!"

He played around as usual throughout the night, which was good, meaning that Mom and Dad's temporary absence didn't beat him that serious. But before I went to bed, I couldn't find him yet sometimes heard his bell ringing slightly in the living room. Where was he?

Pipi lay prone at the front carpet again, looking toward the gate, expecting someone would open the door and gave him another cheerful shout "Pipi~"
"Wendy and Ting are home. Where's others? Should be 4 of them...." I saw his confusion again...

Pipi, be patient. They called everyday to "speak" to you, and you've slicked the transmitter every time when you heard their voice from that end. They'll be back patting you again soon.

Soon.

DM Out of Island-Day 1

Yesterday afternoon, Ting, Me, and Pipi went to the airport together to farewell Dad & Mom- on their way to Japan for a week. Pipi as a smart cat, he knew what was going on there. He licked Mom, which he rarely did, and stayed so quiet throughout the period. But the time would still come, we waived them goodbye and got in the car, heading home.

He knew it. I could tell that from his eyes.
He knew that he won't see Daddy for some time.
No daddy accompanies him to breakfast 5:50 in the morning.
No mommy played with him around 3 at deep night or needed his company for ladies room.

I prepared him some fish for compensation, and didn't stop him from jumping up to the sink to watch me washing dishes, which Mom normally did. Ting and I took turns playing with him to ease loneliness, and I slept at Dad's bed in case that Pipi found no one on the bed and felt confused.

---------------------

5:50 this morning, automatically and surprisingly, I woke up.....
(I doubted if it's the magic of the place, my reaction, or Pipi's wishing power.....)
Pipi was sleeping on my stomach, as Dad & Mom described, and once he sensed my slight movement, he moved toward my face, intending to lick my face. :)
"Morning Pipi!" I patted him and said.
Jumping down to the floor, he was ready to "accompany me for (his) breakfast."
We rushed together upstairs, enjoyed the breakfast, and came down to sleep again.
Until the next time I woke up- my usual waking hour- Pipi lay peacefully on my stomach, snoring. :)

Pipi, you're truly angle. Everything will be fine throughout this week!

Never Let Me Down

Angely Julia(DE) and Andrea(CH) sent their b-day wishes to me through Email. Bravo~
These two lovely ladies never stop being sooooo sweet.

Happy~~~

Happy Birthday, though One Day Late~

but Jesus, how come can you be so great to me?

Some scout friends and I went out for our regular gatherings, and for a preparatory meeting for the upcoming camp. When we were waiting for our lunch, I did find that two of my friends disappeared, but I didn't think too much. Some minutes later, surprise! A HUGE BOUNCH OF FLOWER and A HUGE STRAWBERRY CAKE showed up!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!

Chi-chi is one of the lovely persons who prepared the surprise for me. Before that, Isabel, Zoye, Mushroomyuki, Chi-Yu, Cynthia, Alice, Kevin(CH), Teddi(IS), Philip(SG), and Johnny had presented their best wishes or gifts for me. More surprising is that Aya, my little schoolmate wrote me an SMS as well to say Happy B-Day. Oh my....Oh my....

Thank you very much! You lovely people!
Thanks for bearing me in your heart!!!!Thanks for the splendid birthday :)

Almost the date

Too close to be true.
For the passed years, what exactly did I accomplish, besides studying, living normally, moving forward and forward and forward?

Thankfully, I won't turn in a blank sheet of paper for my life till now.
But hey, dear Wendy, PLEASE SPUR UP!!!!!

SO MUCH MORE TO DO IN THE FUTURE!!!

Two Days
