那夜，為你赴了好晚的約。
說好的咖啡廳沒開，我們只好轉戰青春無敵的冰店，把好一陣子沒聊的故事一次聊完。稍微晚到的你很順手的抓起湯匙就往我的冰碗裡挖，我一點也沒打算阻止你，因為多年來我們的互動模式就是這樣自然，好難得遇見的交會瞬間，兩個人就像是認識大半輩子的親人一樣，行為舉止和發言都毫不掩飾，對彼此近況的關心也絕對真摯。
我聽著你奮力經營著的音樂人生有點出神，有點不敢置信你竟然會忽然一頭栽進那有點太過浪漫的世界；你聽著我面臨的難關眉頭深鎖，捨不得我辛苦的表情嶄露無遺，還用你前輩的豐厚經驗分享給我一招又一招應對的方式。
我好感謝天，讓我可以遇見你，讓我總可以從你的話語中聽到一絲希望，感覺到自己的拼鬥不是特立獨行，知道總是有你站在我這邊。最最起碼的，是知道自己的故事無論悲喜，至少還有你願意靜靜地聽，用穩穩的聲音告訴我：沒關係，這樣就好，這樣也可以。
我喜歡跟你分享我的挫折，喜歡跟你炫耀旅行的故事和規劃（雖然我的這些小行程遠比不上你的那些轟轟烈烈），喜歡坦白的告訴你我還沒遇見別的緣分，喜歡說嘴我的音樂大事記和好不容易累積起來的運動習慣，喜歡...
夜深了，我們在接近午夜的涼風中並肩走在人煙稀少的大街上。你準備轉進巷口，我們於是在街角道別，給彼此一個大擁抱。不知是哪來的巧合，你的衣角被我的背包勾住，卡了一下子還放不開我。
大概是我的背包比我更捨不得你走吧？我心裡笑著想。
嘿，你該兌現承諾了！下次我要聽你彈琴啊～

Wendy E-news [Joyful life full of music]
Hi my lovely friends!
How's life? Sorry for being lazy for more than a year since last entry. Let me make it up for you now~
To begin with, for sure, the work part.
After being a Scout, drawing maps, selling computers, singing songs and selling fried chickens, now I'm back to life to listening to music.
End of July 2015, referred by some friends, I joined _X, Asia's leading online music streaming service founded in Taiwan & running in 6 countries. I'm responsible for overall member strategic marketing (CRM) projects and developing our business in Japan. Lucky enough, I'm working with an excellent manager and a crazily interesting team. We backed up for one another in all ways. My initial task included to lead several younger members to share my experiences and to help them grow. Thanks to my role to support Japan market, I thus picked up my long-lost (for >10 years) Japanese, and rediscovered my incredible potential and hidden talents.
The Best part to be back to music x internet industry is- I can get first hand pop music news and sometimes have intimate interactions with artists. As an example, I got a female singer to feed me my birthday cake this year :P I also got more opportunities to go for concerts. This January, as a new milestone in my life, I assisted my team to host a 12,000-audience concert with around 15 groups of artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Thailand to perform. That's something huh?
Well, however, I've encountered some puzzled organizational change recently. Something I love in this job is falling apart rapidly. I hope the chaos can disappear soon, so I can continue to make some big impact like I was doing before.
How hard it is to respect those professionals, and to empower the younger generation, especially in internet industry which relies so much on their creativity and judgement?
No matter how work treats you, you need to Get a GOOD LIFE!
Yes, I still do belly dancing and play ukulele in my leisure time. It's my 3rd year, and counting.
Last December at my annual belly dancing performance, my team picked a romantic costume which composed my favorite water blue and silver. Our dance was also an elegant one, which flew well with our dress. Therefore, I happily signed for 2 more years of dancing lessons short after the show.
(Meaning: you guys got at least two more chances to see my show!)
Another secret to stay energetic is to See the World! - at least it is the case for me.
October 2015, I went for the 10-year-reunion trip to Kandersteg International Scout Centre, Switzerland. My beloved Pinkies from Iceland, Germany, Swiss and I gathered again to enjoy hiking in the Alps, via ferrada (rock climbing), fondue, board game, and walks in our home-like KISC just like 10 years ago. It felt like we've never apart. Yet, two girls are getting married and soon will become mommy, while a boy will become a husband and daddy soon and wave goodbye to his childish life (I wish). Wow, it's That amazing how time will do his work.
On top of Alps, we set our reunion calendar again for 2020. We may meet in Germany, or Swiss, and we'll be surrounded by some pretty view and some little cuties. How can you not looking forward to that?
(Allow me to brag for just a moment: I can hike up to 2800M trail in 2005, so can I in 2015. I can do via ferrada in 2005, so can I in 2015! Yes, I'm still This cool =D )
Hey, one trip is simply Not enough you know. That's why I go for Cherry blossom this spring in Kyoto, Japan!
Exclude the Tokyo business trip in September 2015, it's actually my first trip to Japan in 12 years. One of my friends invited me to go with her and I thought- my language skill now is fair and I've never visited in Sakura season- why not? Off I go, and I am so very satisfied!
Below is a photo with me in Kimono and pink sakura.
Bathing in the sakura rain, both my body and mind are relaxed and full of joy, and I found ways to spoil myself in the elegant ancient town of Kyoto. Ever deeper, I believed in those precious values like-
- Always be warm and kind to those around;
- Always be passionate toward things and stay positive;
- Always stay Curious- even to unknown.
There's a saying in Chinese which I like a lot recently:
"If you bloom, the butterfly will come naturally; If you are fabulous, God will arrange something spectacular for you naturally."你若盛開，蝴蝶自來。你若精彩，天自安排。
Agree?
May you and those you love Fabulous.

Wendy報報之【充滿音樂的人生】
親愛的好朋友，好久不見！
赫然發現前次寫信問候大家是一年多前，哦．．．懶惰不是病，
例行報告第一條，工作。
經歷了當童軍、畫地圖、賣電腦、唱歌、賣雞人生之後，
2015年七月底，在朋友的引薦下，
回到音樂 x 網路產業的交集點最爽快之處，
不過話說...近期工作上又面臨到一些讓人不解的異動，
這年頭...尊重專業、相信年輕的一代並給他們舞台好好發揮，
尤其在網路產業＝這麼需要對年輕世代進行聰明溝通的產業，
無論工作順不順，人，都需要好好生活！
西低～不上班的時候，我的肚皮舞照跳、烏克麗麗照彈，
去年底的肚皮舞發表會，
（白話文就是：想看我表演的捧油，你們至少還有兩次機會呦～）
維持活力的另個妙招就是旅行、出走－－對我而言更是鐵律。
2015年10月，我踏上了回瑞士Kandersteg International Scout Centre的十年團聚之旅，跟十年前一起工作的冰島、德國、
在阿爾卑斯山顛，我們約好了2020再見。到時或許在德國、
（忍不住還是要炫耀一下：
嘿，一趟旅程當然是不夠的，所以我在今年春天追上了流行：
不算去年九月赴東京出差的行程，
－－而她完全沒令我失望。
獻上在盛開櫻花下穿上和服的照片一張，作為有圖有真相的佐證。
幾度櫻花雨中，我不只身心愉悅，
你若盛開，蝴蝶自來。你若精彩，天自安排。對嗎？
願，你與你所愛的人們，也能一切都好！
