巴東震災．因為有愛

I am so excited, tonight is the 1st time to see my own face on tv :)
I really thought they gonna cut me off cos I knew I was super nervous when they shoot me... was so surprised to see myself hanging on the tv screen for quite a few seconds. Hahaha.

Oh yeah... Dad was in there too. So proud of you, Daddy. Love you so much.
Special thanks to Ms. Feili Hsu, Mr. Tom Huang, Mr. Lin and Mr. Hendrik Ng for such compact report, it was very informative yet still very touching. Very nice to meet such dedicated person like you.
