一早到攝影棚準備的我們，雨聲在天花板上滴答作響，Melody 一聲宏亮的「早安！」暫緩團隊急忙的節奏，身穿黑色調扎染的牛仔襯衫，內搭蕾絲緞面的夏天Cami上衣，黑色丹寧短褲下踩著一雙高統雨靴，露出她纖長的雙腿，渾身散發出妙齡女孩的氣息，時尚墨鏡妝點著 Melody美麗清新的輪廓，瑰麗亮眼的髮絲，馬尾上垂綴著柔軟的蛇皮雪紡緞帶，又散發出一股知性成熟的韻味，由內而外的動人女神模樣，不禁想到她主持《姐妹悄悄話》時，熱情四射鼓舞人心的模樣，渴望與她展開一場自由的對話。

As we were preparing for the interview early in the morning at the studio. The sound of the raindrops can be heard from the roof. “Good morning!” said Melody with her energetic tone. Her greeting slowed down our path. Melody was wearing a black tie-dye denim shirt over a summer lace satin cami, and a pair of black denim shorts. Her long slim legs are in a high top rain boots. She radiated youthfulness from head to toe. With the final touch of a pair of fashionable sunglasses displayed her beautiful, refreshing contour. Her lovely ponytail was tied in a soft, snake patterned chiffon ribbon, her style showed a sense of intellectuality and maturity. She is gorgeous inside out that reminded us of her vital, heartening tone when she hosted her podcast show Sisters Talk Talk Show. I was eager to start a heartfelt conversation with her.

Coming up with the talk and topic for Sisters Talk Talk Show is now an enjoyable new routine for her. Throwing back to the time when she was 22, and left her hometown in Los Angeles with a suitcase, she came to Taipei alone to pursue her dream in show business in this unfamiliar city. Her courage back then symbolizes her “dream” and “original aspiration”, which keep her motivated till today. From the champion of Miss Chinatown USA to a dancing singer, a TV actress, a radio anchor and a host of fashion TV show, she steps out from her comfort zone and lives her life in the most adventurous way.

Even though the COVID-19 outbreak suspended numerous of travel plans, including the summer occasion of bringing her family back to her parents’ in Los Angeles. However, she never stopped going on dates with her husband “Mr. Wu”. Lately, Melody almost lost her ten years of photograph and videos with her daughter due to her broken iMac. She nervously asked an engineer for help to save some of her daughters’ childhood photos from the crashed iMac to portable hard drive. During the Mother’s Day, “Mr. Wu” showed his love in action as usual, he gave her a 4 TB Macbook Pro that Melody asked for. The next day after she received her new laptop, she happily played the photos and videos of her daughters on the screen. Melody and both of her daughters shed tears while watching and reminiscing their precious memories. Even her husband “Mr. Wu”, who was always rational but was also in tears.
