CURRENT MISSION

I am a Chinese girl who comes from Japan (stayed in Japan 10 years) and I am in Ireland for Working Holiday until Sep 2016.
I worked in Dundalk (Co. Louth) from Sep until Dec, 2015, made some great friends in town, and the people I lived with are like my family now, the dog flash is also so cute, I miss the dog, miss my Irish father, miss the house, miss the town very much.
But I moved to Cork on Jan 3rd because I start a new job in Apple on Jan 4th.
I miss my hometown Dundalk but I have to prepare my new life here.
I already travelled in Ireland on the west and south with friends using rental car during the past months, and I will be travelling more in Ireland and all over Europe during my stay here and enjoy work/life here.

ABOUT ME

I worked in a Japanese distributor of electronic components and semiconductors.
The company was acquired by an American company in 2011.
I worked in the International Sales Department for a year, and engaged in Web Marketing Department for more than 2 years.
I came to Japan in 2005, went to college here. I love my life in Japan, but I also love travelling abroad.

I have visited Munich, New Delhi, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen for business trips, also visited Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Saipan, Seoul for pleasure.

I would like to visit more different places and to meet more people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I think when you make other people happy you feel happy too.
When you can help someone harmlessly then why not help?
I love spending time with my friends, when you share your happiness, the happiness doubles; and if you tell your friend about your pain, then can easily make the pain go away.

Music, Movies, and Books

About music

I love classic piano as well as R&B, hip hop.
I like diverse thing & culture, like my clothes, I have formal ones for work and also I have casual ones for weekend and sexy ones for clubbing.
I don't drink alcohol but music is my alcohol.
I go clubbing with friends every 2 weeks, cause I love dancing, and I drink water/red bull in club.
Now I am practicing salsa and bachata, and trying to learn Tango.

About movies
I've always been liking love stories movies, "notebook" and "P.S. I love you" are my favorite.
I've been showing interest ok Action movies recently.
"G I Joe" was quite good.

About books
I read a lot of Chinese Essays and poems and novels when I was in China.
We have "Reader's digest" in China, every time I went back to China for business trip I bought the digest.
Recently I am trying to get the English "Reader's Digest"
I prefer short stories rather than long ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled alone in Saipan.
It was a beautiful island and the people there were really nice.
I love talking to local people and getting to know about their life.
I met people who's born there and also Japanese and Chinese who worked there.
I followed strangers to go diving and I passed the key to a total stranger to let him drive me to the top of a mountain to see the sunrise cause the road was too difficult for a beginner driver like me .
People says it's dangerous to trust strangers,
but I choose to believe.
I think all the people are kind since they came to this world, maybe some of them changed after some incidents .
And I really feel grateful that all those people I met were nice.
I hope I'll always be this lucky to meet nice people.

Maybe table tennis and skating.
