Hi Viv fans,

Wah!!! ..I came back home from HK today...hoping to find a surprise in my mailbox (Viv told me she wrote a 'thank you' letter to me at the fan club meeting) and yep!...I got a letter from Vivian!!! *^_^* Oh..hehe..rather funny...in the letter, Vivian included the password which I gave her to use in case she wanted to e-mail me so that I know it's really her...oh well =P , at least I know she read my letter then. =P I believe Vivian wrote back to all the fans who gave her something (other than a stuffed animal) at the LV and AC concerts..so keep your eyes open! She wrote mostly in Chinese, so after I get my parents to translate it, I'll tell you all about it!

Hi Viv fans,

First I have to explain the gift I gave her...it was a white folder w/ a see-through cover that had a lot of little Viv pix all over...took HOURS to cut out all those pix. Inside the folder, there was a typed letter from me, a disk of midi files, internet links (no, not Viv links), a Christmas card, and of course a link to my Viv webpage. =P (I printed out a small picture of my webpage to give her a little preview). The fan mail was printed on paper that had a rainbow background ..about 35 pages long... took XX hours to print out on the slow Canon ....another XX hours to change all the breaks in between each message to be a 'palm tree- island' instead of the 'rainbow line' and to adjust spacing so that everyone's message was fully visible on the page and not cut at the bottom. The last fan mail message printed out was #133, so all messages before #134 was read by Vivian. *^_^*

Okay, the letter Viv wrote to me is below....slightly edited..
