Hello everyone, this is my first try on page-editing and I wish you enjoy sharing a piece of my life here.

About Me

My family moved to Hualien in around 1990 and I was the last to join them, after graduating from the Department of Western Languages and Literature at Tunghai University.
Finished a fifteen-week computer class in Dec. 1998 at National Dong Hwa University; learnt a little about DOS, UNIX, Windows 95/98/NT, homepage editing, MS Office, C, QB/VB, networking, and database structure. Everything seemed to stuff my poor brain and nothing seemed to really get into it...!! But I got the certificate anyway. :-)
I'm now working as a freelance for translating English to Chinese. Now I can finally do things I like, except for controlling my schedule... *sigh*. I also started to learn French, the course I failed in college, to prove that I can do it too. I'm actually quite busy!
As for my hobbies, I love reading/buying/piling books; listening to classical music, operas, early music, and music from the Middle East; travelling abroad (got photos...); reading about royal houses/genealogies; playing computer strategy games; and of course surfing Internet and meeting my dear friends online.
I like writing too but at the moment my works are mostly in Chinese... Maybe I will/can try something in English in the future!
Being an absolute dogmaniac, I'm much more patient to dogs than to human beings. Always love to imagine what dogs think and why they think so and what their responses would be, but don't care much about human psychology. ;P
Oh I was born in the Year of Dog.... Guess that's part of the reason. *smile*

Bet most of you can't wait to see my photos... but most of them aren't ready yet. My apology. Hehehe. So come back often and check on me!
