Dear Sister Carlin,

I take your word seriously. See, here I am, writing a nice and meaningful letter to you in English as you requested. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if the sentence you couldn’t understand at all. Sometimes just hard to write English mail if your English ability do not good enough.

First, to answer your questions for our cousin who want buy a mutual fond. I think she could ask her young sister. I don’t have any sense of investment since I leave the bank. I am quiet enjoy the time here to be concentrate on my study. However, it is hard to study by myself without a teacher. Believe that I often get lost after few days reading. But no worries. I will be fine as I know what is important to enjoy life right now. I just read a book named “Daddy long legs” the girl said: The most important thing in life is to live right now and to be satisfied with yourself. Do not greedy too much. It will made you confuses in Money’s world. I am glad I not a person who care about money too much. For me. I only need enough money for living. I am not fond at new bags, shoes, clothing any more. For I desirous to enrich my sprit life more than the marital one.

It’s nice to hear that your company sent you to learn a bit news thing and is free. I hope you enjoy the time to learn it and tell me back after you finish it. Perhaps, I could learn something new from my dear sister Carlin. What did you thing of it?

Isn’t it a good idea?

Not that kind of easy to get a job here, especially, we apply for a Working Holiday Visa. I am trying hard to have several interviews but failed at the end of few days later. I think the time we could work for them only six months is too short for them to hire us. Exclude us going to work as a farmer. Maybe we will try one in near future or not. Who knows? The living condition doesn’t as good as your imagination.

I still glad that I am here in Brisbane. I met a friend on airplane and have such a fun with her the day before yesterday.

I always try my best in learning English. It is a huge job to go through it. Especially, for I didn’t take it seriously when I was in junior high school. Obviously, I admit that I regret it now. It does never be too late to start learning something new. For you too. My dear sister.

Wow... I think this is the longest letter I have ever made for you before. I hope you not annoying by such a mail.

Much love across sea from your always

28^th April 2007, Where am I? I am in Brisbane Australia. Trying hard to get a job as a cleaner or waitress or fruit piker. What I am going to do is a joke but part of my life. Almost two weeks past. Did I learn something or find something new? No. I answer myself. Indeed. You might not going to believe this. I even think back Taiwan rather than stay here. The main reason is environment are quiet different from where I was in Santa Barbara U.S. I have a school program and host stay who take care of me. At least my host mama is a local American. She speaks excellent English and I must speak English to her too. Now I live with Taiwanese family who speak also excellent language too but is a Chinese. Oh…. So sad. To save money so I didn’t apply for a school. To save money I need find a job here. I felt stress form all of negative things I encounter now.

I went with my friend to deliver our Resume more than five shop today. Actually, I don’t think we will get any phone from the shop owner. After we came here, we know more about the situation here. If I were employer I won’t hire someone who only can work in my firm six months. Otherwise, I don’t have confidence in my English ability. For me is really difficult to know the entire vegetable name. I inspirit myself to stay longer even I do not work is fine. I should keep learn that’s what my purpose to come here. I want to take a Master. I know I will. This is a first time I feel I am not strong and very weakness. Or I push myself too hard? I miss the family I use to have when I was in Karen’s house. That’s a real family where I should back too. What I chase for? Chasing for what? I don’t have any idea. I do envy someone who can just go to school and concentrate on their study. I hate I can’t do this. So even I am sad but I will find some thing special. And change my mind. Be happier. No more complain just be myself and appreciated what I have now. Thank God. Amen..

Wow…Shit. Why so many things just come out at the same time? Today is not my day. Even I went to the Buddhist in early time and be honesty setting in there almost three hours.

Reading the BBC news is really helpful for improve my English ability. Then I got a time today. Opening a Radio and listening to the BBC news. Meanwhile I tried to open the .phf file as well but I couldn’t. My Adobe 7 is reminding me to upgrade my information or it can’t be used. Everyone knows that usually we are poor and smart. So I just ask someone to help me out in all of useful systems in my laptop. Of course, it must be free and some illegal. He didn’t fixing it all. So register problems is coming and continuous pop out in my screen. What can I do? I am in somewhere far away from Taiwan.

After two hours, I search it free installer on PC HOME.com. Now see I can use my iPod as well. Of course, the Adobe 7 is also correctly in my laptop. No problem at all. I tell my roommate who is also not good at computer that I will be an export of computer after one year. For no one could help me in Australia. Otherwise, I don’t want to wait someone far away sent some email to me. It doesn’t solve the problem in time. I need it now. So I fixed it by myself who is lovely and intelligently.

To celebrate my successful in this part. I went to kitchen and reward myself whole big plate Salad. Today isn’t my day. Count on tomorrow.

Oh….safely pass few days…not thing special for just study at home and eating some food.

The people not always feel happy even they are traveling. So am I. You must don’t agree with me. Right? Because you might think I am not a thankful girl. What I am doing now is a great job. They don’t have chance to do it or they even don’t dreaming about. I don’t know the reason too. I just couldn’t stay at home whole day long. Let’s get some fresh air. So I talk to my friend and ask her to join me to the Sunnybank Hills library.

See! It’s really nice to walking on the foreigner country if there is no traffic. It will be better. We walked about half hours under the strong sunshine. But it just fine. I made jokes during the time we pass by the trees and busy street.oh. the important thing is we save about two dollar of bus fee and exercised a lot.

By the way, It doesn’t difficult to get a library card in here. You only need bring your passport and take one of envelope. The one must be sent something to your temporary residence where you stay in this country. Thanks God. I have one form Taiwan. My books for Learning English. We borrow two books with eight movies of DVD. My friend watched before me and she think the movies we borrowed were really nice. I was study in my Global Talk through the laptop I bring. See what a hard working student I am is. Hay…. Let me tell you the truth. I always wake up late so I must run up to catch up the schedule I make.

The only thing need to celebrate is the meal I ate this afternoon. Some fried vegetable with big pork steak. Oh…so delicious. You should try one. Even I am not a money maker but at least I am a good cooker.

There is a elementary school near by our home. We usually take walk before day is dark. The drought is spread out in Australia now. So the playground isn’t look beautiful. Many Chinese live in here. I think they do like the weather here. As my great hometown in Taiwan. Don’t miss me too much. I’ll back in shortly time.
