At Cold Palace Lives A Fish

Hello, Ili:

Happy New Year!!
How's your first day in 2007?
I spent the last day with my friends, eating hot pot and BBQ, watching the fireworks, walking along the streets. It was wonderful to me. I was so excited to embrace the coming new year and so calm inside my mind to trace back what I have done in year 2006. It was a lot! I went to St. Peterburg, Egypt, Lake Baikal and Japan. In July, I flew back home, Taiwan. I couldn't adapt well by then. I felt frustrated, depressed. I couldn't even control myself and focus on classes. I wasn't that willing to play table tennis like before. I thought that I lost all but not my memory in Moscow. I tried to go back. I was eager to go back. But I knew that I was daydreaming, that I was just trying to escape from reality.
Time goes by. It's a start of new year and new me. I want to be different. I want to try something new like I used to do, to make fun of people around me and also myself. I know that it's not other's change that hidners me but my foolishness. I thought that I was the one who got hurt but I myself was the very person who hurt myself best. I realized all!! I'll get back to the original Frances and make myself even more confident and happier. Wish you'll be so, too.

Happy New Year!


Love

Fran
