Comments from Dinner Tonight

Partner A: Thank you! You did help a lot and outperformed.

Partner B: It's true~ Things were much better than before since you joined the team.

Thumbs up~

Wendy E-News[The Previous Half Year-- Rocking Impressive!]

I just realized that I've been quiet for around half a year-- Wow! That's unacceptable and I should keep you posted~

So here I am-- alive, fine, and missing you as always. :)

For the past six months, naturally, most of my life was occupied by work. I was blessed by my energetic team that I could attend several forms of celebrations for our outstanding achievements in Q1 and Q2. We went shrimp fishing, taste Chinese hot pot, bowling, and crush many more restaurants. When I thought I was purely celebrating with them, my managers mentioned my contributions in public for several times in various forms. "I like the pace of our current marketing practices," he said, "and those reports you conducted were quite helpful for presentations with higher management team." One of the vendor partner also mentioned to my manager, and to me directly, that he loved to cowork with me-- "Wendy's aggressive at work and react promptly. I know I can count on her to make things happen."

Thank you for the support and sweet words. What I know for sure is-- what I've done so far were just some basic values I can offer; my potential and my core competency are far beyond those. I have confidence in this.

Also worth mentioning were my learning at COMPUTEX Taipei 2010 early June. That exhausted me seriously, but I indeed learned a lot. For around two months I prepared everything to host the exhibition, from booth design, print material to human resources allocation. I was there at the booth for five full days, and I sometimes must respond to media interviews. Here's a Mandarin video clip for your reference....

The most unbelievable part, however, was my surprisingly lucky business trip to Suzhou & Shanghai in July.

It was a one-week short visit, but it was a intense one. I met colleagues in Suzhou to streamline our work flow, and visited two factories to understand and to witness how our product was produced. As for Shanghai, I spent time in 3C stores, consulted sales, collected first-hand competitors info to study Chinese market. (Felt so like KFC market research all over again, right?) I found the trip very informative and inspiring. In-depth discovery by oneself always rocks!

It's time to end the workaholic talking now. Alright, time to have some fun-- and I did have fun in Shanghai!

It would be a sin to waste my weekend in Shanghai, so I reconnected with friends met in China, US, or in Taiwan-- Vali, Julia (IMC'08), Grace(IMC'10) and Howard. The warmth I felt from the reunion was tremendous considering our friendship across time and space. I additionally utilized my time to stroll  along Lujiazhui bank, to hit on EXPO Shanghai 2010, to visit Dr. Sun Yat-sen's former residence, and to revisit Taikang Road.

Shanghai remains a glamorous city as usual, and my lovely friends always could make her ever more irresistible. :) 

When it comes to one place on earth where I completely got relaxed during this period of time--Bali, Indonesia.

Thanks to my friend Emilie's company, my five days was beyond description: cerulean sky, marshmallow clouds, beach with tender sand.... Heaven.

We also hit a volcano at Kintamani & rice terrace, got wild in water, ate a ton, spoiled ourselves in luxurious pool villa, did nothing but relax at the Kuta beach, shopping, and (you'll hate me for the last one....) SPAs.

Heaven yeah, we were there to take a break. And Bali fully satisfied us.

Last golden question, where's THE ONE for Wendy? 

Let's pray...... :P

Love,

Wendy

W報報之【無盡驚喜充滿的大半年】

發現原來自己有半年沒消沒息的時候，連我都嚇了一跳！各位親朋好友們，我還在，我很好，我依舊惦念著大家。

大半年中工作自然充滿了我生活最大多數的角落。這段時間以來，感謝團隊累積的巨大能量，我沾光跟著參加了幾個慶功，把蝦也釣了、天府麻辣鍋也嘗了、保齡球也打了、鴨霸王熱炒也吃了。在我還覺得自己只是幸運的陪著大家慶祝的時候，老闆三番兩次在會議裡直接點名、或舉起了杯指明肯定我的貢獻：「Marketing的步調不一樣了，很有節奏」、「你提供的資料真的很好用，跟大老闆們KPI前剪一剪就很清楚」...等等，等等。也有趣的是，連vendor都曾經在電話中直接跟我說，也對我的直屬主管說，現在要談合作的步調和方式相當順暢，因為他知道可以倚靠我、信任我。

謝謝各位的厚愛啊～我只能這麼說。

心底知道的是：這也不過就是我能提供的基本價值，我的潛力、我的核心競爭力豈止如此而已。

不得不順帶提起的，還有在六月初第一次籌辦大展COMPUTEX的震撼教育。產業界的年度大事硬是讓我非得使用渾身解數招架不可，除了展前兩個多月期間緊鑼密鼓安排展場布置、文宣內容、配製人員資源、張羅展品等等的瑣事，展示期間站台整整五天的考驗以外，還會有國內外的媒體來採訪，有時候我就得要親上火線很害羞的把展品內容從頭到尾說明一次。這段影片就是證明啊.....

其實最不可思議的是，我的莫名強運又讓公司派我七月份出差去蘇州+上海一週...
在蘇州的時候除了跟當地的同事們見面，感謝大家長期以來的指點也了解大家工作的方式、可以改進以便利事務順暢進行的環節以外，也有幸走訪了兩個廠區，去實際了解並目睹產品製作的流程，體會品管細膩之處。到了上海我們則是跟著業務親訪了賣場，聽他們說中國業務銷售的狀況、看自家產品與競爭者產品在店頭陳列擺放和被推銷的模樣。這次行萬里路，果真是價值連城，讓我收穫非常豐富。

工作的部分大約如此。蘇州上海行恰巧可以順暢架接回我生活中的另一大塊重心：玩樂。

在上海的最後一個週末總不好浪費，於是我把老朋友們連絡連絡，開開心心的就把在美國、在上海或在台灣認識的Howard, Julia, Grace和Vali找出來碰面了。這些可愛的熟面孔從2001年起陸續開始與我有時空交錯的緣分，能夠再次聚首自然讓我感覺異常溫暖。聚會的時間裡，或者在聚會間的空檔，我在陸家嘴河岸邊散步、到了上海美術館、湊熱鬧巡了上海世博、到國父孫中山故居緬懷故人、晃了周(恩來)公館、重遊泰康路.....

上海還是這樣有魅力的一座城市。而我可愛的朋友們，總是能為她添加幾許風情 :)

如果真的要說這半年來哪裡讓我真正的休息、釋放，那就非峇里島莫屬了。
謝謝我可愛朋友的陪伴，峇里島的五天四夜滿溢著的，真的是幸福滿滿的藍天白雲。

我們同遊了峇里島的火山、梯田，跳入超清涼的海水玩了大半天的水上活動；我們大啖美食、住了兩晚豪華pool villa、在KUTA海灘上純玩水純發呆、用自在的步調優閒逛街買東西；當然少不了的，還有這種那種精油按摩和SPA。


是的，我們都是去放鬆的。而峇里島之行讓我們完全達到目的囉~

至於交朋友呢...哎呀，no good luck yet. Wish me luck?

愛你的

Wendy

I accidentally heard this song today, and I was deeply impressed!
I felt so blessed that I could understand both of the language used in this song- Japanese and English- and touched by the beautiful expressions directly. There's some tender, romantic emotions delivered in the wordings. They are so true and so sincere. Olivia's voice is so sweet to make those words sound incredible.

The Mandarin translation is done by me based on someone else's inputs. I found it better when I try to transform key terms into the way I put it. It thus reflects the original meaning and tone better from my point of view.

Somehow... Maybe, just maybe, it resembles my feeling at some point better,

If you need to know how to pronounce those Japanese words, check THIS out.

今夜，陸家嘴

不得不承認這是一個不可多得的夜晚，

美景、佳人、那種濃得化不開的熟悉感....

然後認知到，或許從來 就還沒有走出來....

Lessons from Mommy

看人要寬  但是不能不防

對待大環境  學習了解  多元  尊重

少說多做

對上以敬  對下以誠  對物、人珍重

Watching the Game Together This Way

is fun, is amazing, is legendary.

"Remember to look to the East," you said.
I smiled, but also paused, because that reminded me of something special in the past.
Bitter.

Whatever, I am delighted tonight. This really counts. Will check on you then ;)
