Considerations from You

Warmth from you.

Few words needed to be said, but I knew you value my opinion and cared my life.
You replied to my words sincerely, and I knew even the contacts were only periodically-- you paid full attention to each. That's quite enough for me.

Just..... if you were...

Too Shocked

Two people are leaving the team.
Two great teachers who helped A LOT to guide me to my current stage.
I was totally shocked and speechless. I thought them joking, but truth be told-- it's crystal real.

Least could be done to keep them with us, and I would say..... for talents like them, they deserve some better opportunities. They both deserve someone/some company to value them highly and to give them the best stage to perform.

They should not limit themselves here, in this cage.

Work becomes tougher from now on, much tougher.
Extreme challenge begins....

Counting Down-3

7... 1st year in school; 1st time to be elected as class leader; 1st time to know I'm relatively talkative... it's an endless 1st sth. list~

8... I got a blush on my cheeks upon seeing a special boy; I love singin', dancin'&rope skippin' w/ friends. I thought I'm a big lady then.

9... Officially I became a brownie scout; officially I had 2 attend extra classes w/ many geniuses. That's when I learned the word "busy"?

漫天蓋地的霧氣

坐在媽媽的車裡,慢慢的、慢慢的、車裡才在霧氣瀰漫的氛圍中漸漸暖了起來。
腦子還沒有十分清醒的我卻猛然想起了早晨坐在車裡一路北行的記憶。

你的車也是這般慢慢的、慢慢的才會暖起來,
把外面白亮亮的世界蓋上一層迷濛,
讓我的腦袋慢慢的、慢慢的甦醒,
有時候啜一口咖啡,咀嚼那一種只有我懂的味道。




都過去了......

濃濃友情香的周末探察聚&模聯聚

這個周末難得我比較沒這麼疲累,除了在家休養、玩貓咪、陪爸媽、看電視的時間,我出門跟兩大生活圈的朋友再度交集。



跟姓「探」的聚首是一大Highlight。童軍團探察的這群朋友交情十年起跳,老朋友加小朋友滿滿的塞滿了公館的一整間店--8柚3又貳。餐點的部分普通以上,不過我們大家明顯醉翁之意不在酒,席間的互相挖苦、吐槽、互相搶菜吃才是真正的主菜。

餐飲用畢交換禮物的戲碼正式上演,本日我個人首推的第一名禮物是高級綠色信箱一只!請不要小看送禮人,她特地把信箱用包裝紙包的很漂亮很精美,讓收禮人一開始還心花怒放的以為自己抽到好料的。殊不知禮物拆封後......

其他也還頗有趣的禮物包含:到了店裡來才用店家的餐巾紙奮力包一包的樂透彩券一張(潛在價值:四億六千萬元台幣!)包的也是很大包、很精美,層層包裝拆開後裡面是新買的一張並未儲值任何金額的iCash;總共可以滿足18個願望的健達出奇蛋(健達出奇蛋標語:「三個願望、一次滿足」,那一包有六個蛋XD)

這頓飯吃得、笑得我東倒西歪,這是屬於探察人的魔力;這是我最寶貝的一群好朋友們。

另外,讓我牽掛的模聯好朋友們也難得的終於約到了一個,正在為國打拼的美女外交官蒲蒲。我們的約會在公館帕多瓦舒緩進行,我的薰衣草茶淡淡的,配上友情的濃度卻恰到好處。

蒲蒲踏著的,是我上大學之前就夢寐以求的道路:流利的說著除了英文以外的外語、做個外交官、為著國家形象與國家利益競競業業的忙碌著、為了公務的分配須要派駐(流浪?)異鄉。聽著她敘述工作的種種,我有時候還是忍不住飄離想著:我離那個夢好遠了,怎麼會這樣呢?人的際遇與轉變,真的都不在自己的掌握之中。誰又會料得到我在這些年變動後居然變得如此techy,除了變成行銷人以外,還被一些朋友定位為網路媒體小達人、Google產品重度使用者、非科班出身的電腦軟體怪客?誰又會料到現在的我因為工作的關係,開口閉口都是我自己聽了都覺得不可思議的顯卡專有名詞、產業生態?

周末除了休息,還是應該多和朋友聚聚的。因為他們,才造就了今日的我。也因為他們,我才會因著一點點奇特的觸發重新找回生命的活力。Love you all!

Counting Down-2

10... Edited & published 2 vol. of my newspaper w/ 3 girlfriends! Although passed tests for both chord & orchestra, I chose to stay in regular class. Just couldn't give up scouting life and gift class friends :)

11... A baseball rolled to me with "I like U" on it- a moment of my life. I remembered my happy face & his. The happiness lasted long & meant huge!

12...I won my 1st Mayor's Award upon graduation; got 18 badges b/f the end of brownie scout; cried hard&waved bye w/ my favorite class, ever

2010/01/21

Counting Down

13... When 13, I learned the world's cruel. Those follow the rule, refuse to cheat & live with integrity may be segregated. Like... me.

14... When 14, he taught me how to love; he held me tight. I lived up to him to forget all the hardship in school. Still thought of him sometimes. Sometimes.

15... Barely remembered what happened.. Days in Junior High were mostly painful, dark. On top of that, he left... My BEST thing in 15 was becoming great friends with Isabel~~~

16...When 16, a precious friend Alice light' up my boring high school life; I stepped onto Mongolia as a teen diplomat & fell for prairies+sky

17... When 17, I struggled to prove to the world (well, at least NTU prof.) I'm seriously aiming at being a great potential diplomat. Goal!!

18... When 18, I started to learn Japanese and made many JP friends. I was excited about going to Brazil next year for WorldMUN. I was cherished and loved by someone, though it turned out hurting me quite bad afterwards....:P

19... When 19, Brazil amazed my spring, scouting camps packed my summer. Starting from Sept. MUN and JP studies occupied all my leisure time. Believe it or not, I enjoyed my life then!

20... When 20, my team took 23 people to Germany for MUN. I learned lion dance for our talent show. I also met my idol- the ideal/desired half.

21.... When 21, Hardvard WorldMUN@ Egypt rocked my new year followed by kickoff of 1st TW National MUN; BUT I failed to start my story with him

22.... When 22, I left NTU, failed my US grad school application, visited & lost in Tunisia, became a pinkie for 3mth in Kandersteg Swiss!

23... When 23, I turned my limited internet skills into powerful tools, and I grew rapidly. I managed gigantic blogs for work and several for personal pleasure. Amazing world that is!

24... When 24, my presentation in Malaysia impressed the crowds. I kept low, but more and more heard about me via my blogs and works. Most shocking: someone proposed- I refused.

25... Turning point: Visited Cambodia & got 8 sisters; NU IMC life kicked off in freezing yet pretty Chicago; peacock dance learned and performed on my birthday!

26... Highlight- I LOVE Google. Google loves me. If the love stays longer...

Calender Chicago

A coworker came back from a business trip in the West Coast, US. He prepared calendars for everyone in the team, and I got one featuring CHICAGO!!!!!!!

Everybody agrees that it was a kind and thoughtful one.
I LOVE it and couldn't help screaming upon receiving it!

Chicago, oh Chicago.
Chicago, oh Chicago.

Wendy E-News[Get An Energetic Tiger Year with You in 2010]

First of all, with my lovely little tiger Pipi in my arms, allow me to say Happy New Year to you! Hope each and everyone of you get a brand new year, brand new dreams with so many exciting challenges and those you cherished surrounding you!
When looking back at what I have done within this period of time-- first thing first-- I've passed the probation of A company and can now claim that I'm a full-time staff. With many helps and advices from my manager and my coworkers, I survived the training to work as both a Sales PM and a Marketing PM; I worked on several competitive analysis, market research, and internal XX ROI analysis within limited time with above-the-standard quality; I helped review and renew some working processes and rules; I supported several exhibitions and media visit preparations; totally out of my manager's expectation, I couldn't help working on some additional research to convince the team about other valuable concepts for us, such as SEO.

Totally, work was tough, and I missed the time on the 73 floor badly. But I also understood that I must move forward steadily....

Actually..... I volunteered to work on something even exhausting. With the request and encouragement of Joey, my NTUMUN president always, and the supports of other alum, we together started up the "Taiwan Model UN Development Association" to integrate more resources for model UN event promotions in Taiwan. Quietly I became the president of the preparatory board; also quietly I was assigned as the Secretary General for the Association. I led the administrative, PR and finance specialists to go through all establishment processes and may officially get up and running at the end of January 2010.

Align with that, I served as one of the consultants for Harvard World Model UN 2010 in Taipei. That is a history-breaking thing that ever happened for NTUMUN society in 10 years. The staff team is the most powerful one ever. They have to prepare for the event with around 2,000 students from 200 universities and more than 50 countries in the world. Much more exciting, there will be around 18 delegations from Taiwan to attend the conference! I was constantly inspired and astonished by the work the staff team has done when meeting with them. From my point of view, all core staff can enroll in Harvard MBA directly after graduation! (If you're willing to know more, even better-- if you are thinking of donating or being of help in other ways, feel free to leave me a message!)

Okay, the heavy part of life should stop here. What follows is the Wendy-style never-ending life of laughters and fun!
  • Who says that Taiwanese doesn't celebrate Halloween? I did-- with so many cute fellows in the place I LOVE so deeply!
    From 091031- Halloween Party
  • My super lucky year made it possible for me to catch up the team-building trip to Hong Kong for 2 days. (Thanks G for bringing me up to Beijing! Thanks A for showing me Hong Kong!)
  • From 981106-08 HK
  • Christmas wasn't wasted either. I had a crazy "passed celebrity" party with coworkers, and I got together with the 8 sisters to enjoy vegetarian hot pot and impressive gifts!
    From 091224-27-Christmas
  • Some other reunions/get-togethers/birthday parties/farewell parties of NTU friends, Chicago friends, elementary school friends and so on.... I did enjoy quite a bit to keep myself in high spirit!
Year 2009 was indeed not a smooth year. When I took a quick glance of it, however, it wasn't that bad. Wishes you all the best in 2010-- With me :)

Love,
Wendy

W報報之【與你一起在2010虎虎生風!】

首先,讓我帶領我家胖嘟嘟的小老虎皮皮跟大家拜年!希望大家2010新的一年有著嶄新的氣象、嶄新的夢、充滿著許多驚奇與挑戰、被許許多多好朋友們與你所珍惜的人們圍繞著!
如果回來看看這段時間我到底做了甚麼好事:正業先來--我順利通過了A公司的三個月考驗,可以大方說自己是個正職員工了。感謝主管以及同事們的栽培和信任,我活過了被Sales PM和Marketing PM雙重腳色夾殺的忙翻天時期;有效率且有品質的完成了幾次被臨時指派的競爭者分析、市場研究調查、公司內部XX成效分析;協助檢視與更新了一些工作流程或規則;支援了幾次參展、佈展或媒體拜訪的準備;我還傻傻的做了一些主管沒叫我做,我卻忍不住就做完的分析研究,並試圖說服團隊重視那些看似不起眼的小角落,譬如SEO.....

工作很累,我也經常性的想念73樓的日子,不過我知道自己必須要穩穩的向前進.....

剛剛說完工作很累,我其實還弄了一個讓自己更累的事情。在永遠的台大模聯社長Joey鼓動與請託下,在其他模聯校友的支持下,我們從2009年六月開始籌組「台灣模擬聯合國推展協會」,希望能整合更多資源,在台灣這塊土地上推展跨校際的模擬聯合國社團活動。不才在下我莫名的就被指任為籌備會主任委員,然後默默的被委任為協會的秘書長,統領旗下的行政、公關、財務專員小學妹三人,把籌備手續一關一關接著辦理,最快在2010年的一月底協會就要正式立案成立。

與這個任務密切相關的,就是我為台大模聯創社以來最大的十年盛事Harvard World Model UN 2010擔任顧問角色的付出。學弟妹是有史以來最厲害的一群,他們肩負這項即將吸引來自世界50多國、200多校、約2,000名大學生活動的籌備任務,台灣也將史無前例的有18所大專院校學生要共襄盛舉,做為一個出一張嘴的小小顧問,我每每在與學弟妹們開會時受到極大的鼓舞與震撼。哎呀~擔任活動籌備的核心幹部每一個都可以直接送進Harvard MBA啦!(想知道更多?願意為五天的活動出錢出資源出力?歡迎留言聯絡我!)

沉重的部分說到這裡。以下開始Wendy風的不玩到天荒地老不罷休專輯。
  • 誰說萬聖節不是台灣人會過的節日?我過了!而且我跟一大群人一起到那令我魂牽夢縈的地方盡興玩耍!
    From 091031- Halloween Party
  • Wendy神奇的好運年硬是讓我趕上公司旅遊,跑到香港兩天兩夜吃香喝辣看風景!(謝謝G帶我到北京、謝謝A送我遊香港!)
  • From 981106-08 HK
  • 聖誕節我也沒閒著,因為有同事瘋狂的歷史人物趴,還有吳哥姐姐們溫馨的素食火鍋加拿禮物拿到手軟小聚會!
    From 091224-27-Christmas
  • 其他零零碎碎與大學同學的團圓飯、芝加哥回台好友的聚會、小學同學與五湖四海好友的慶生趴送行趴為了認識更多朋友就來趴....我也沒漏掉太多。這樣才能保持生命的活力啊!
2009曲曲折折,這樣回顧起來其實我還是很幸福的。希望你跟我一樣,在2010繼續幸福喔!

愛你的
Wendy
