In the past years, I seldom wrote to any of my friends (though I don't have many), neither letters nor E-mails, to let them know how I feel, what I've done, and what happened to me. However, this time I decided to write at least sometimes, hopefully as often as once or twice a month, to keep my friends and of course my family updated, share things I've experienced and inform them about my recent state.
A brief review of my past years: Since 01/2002 I moved to Vienna, I have been studying all the time, the first four years for the diploma study and this year, actually two months ago, I started with a PhD in computer engineering. To be a student can be both stressing and relaxing. I'm an intermediate type, trying to follow the Chinese theory of Zhong Yong (the center of harmony). Although sometimes it's difficult to follow - life isn't all beer and skittles, but in general it's helpful for keeping myself sober-minded and strong, making my life easier.
Some three years ago, I moved into a tiny room in the dormitory where I'm living now. Students living here are from all over the world, having lots of activities. It's where I learned Christophe. A year later, I luckily got an apartment, one of the only two in the dorm. Since 2005 I am engaged with Christophe (sorry, no fixed wedding plan yet). Recently I started to work at an IT company where I did my internship two years ago, but just eight hours a week as I still have to spend most of my time at the uni.
In Vienna I did make a few friends, nice ones, with whom I may share common interests and spend pleasant moments... meanwhile I often visit an old couple – they were my neighbours - who regard me as if I am their own child... Somehow I feel here home, a place I love. Over- coming the phase of being homesick, I still covet the original Chinese cuisine every now and then. My gluttonous mouth enjoys eating delicious food.
