Interest-holics makes a license lady
高山青、澗水藍…Dear toastmaster members
and guests, You might hear this song before!, Guess where I come from. Yes! Chia
Yi city in south of Taiwan where is my lovely home town! I am second children
in my famil of 4, having one older sister, one younger sister and one younger
brother. My English name is Lisa Tsai which was named by a church missionary
and my Chinese’s name is golden swallow “金燕” which was named
by my dear father. Why my name is golden swallow? I like to ask Dad.To
be honest, maybe Dad is eager for being a rich man. How to say? My older sister’s
name is 依意
which mean she has 100 billion dollars and younger sister’s name is 有意which
mean she has lots of 100 billion dollars. Why I just have a little bit “golden
swallow”? I always bargain over it. Why my name is not golden tiger, golden
bear and golden elephant? Those gold is bigger than swallow.
You
might hear alcoholics or workaholics. Well, I am an interest-holics. What I
mean is that I have a wide variety of interests, so I like to keep life quite
busy. I always rush to learn my interesting things after finishing my job or during
weekend time. My friends who know me always ask me why you like to fill your
time to the full. I don’t know. Maybe I like to make friends who have same ambitions and purposes with me. Maybe I hope my life is full
of different experiences. Today, I would like to share with you some of my
interests, and explain why I am such a "doing stuff" addict.
At
the age of nineteen, I came to Taipei and studies a.s. and e.e. in NTU. This is
the significant change in my life. I was living without parent supervision until
now. It’s hardly to have a really rest in a foreign city. I always keep working
and learning. I learn accounting, international trade for my job and get level
3 accounting license. I like to travel so studies hard to get inbound and
outbound tourist guide license. Lots of things and activities attract my notice
so I have more than 10 licenses, like personnel financial planning license,
agriculture license, swim lifeguard license, swim coach license, scuba diving license,
yoga teacher license, Cosmetology license……. that is to say I am a license
woman. Parent always complain I spend too much time for getting un-usful license.”Now,
The only license you lack is” License to Wed” my father said. For a long time, I
finally finish my single life and get “certificate of marriage” in April, 2010
because I met my Mr. right. Although I hope to get a cook license, feng shui
master license and JLPT(Japanese proficiency test) license, ……..Spending more
free time on my small happiness family and manage it is more important than anything.
Now, I can take a really rest at Taipei----My next home town. Mr. Toastmaster!
