[edit] Biography
I was born on July 31, 1988 at the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, New York at 11:40AM. I claim myself special for sharing the same birthdate with Dean Cain (Superman from the television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) and Wesley Snipes.
I was raised by my mother and father (both natives of Hong Kong). My father, who was a police officer at the Old Stanley Police Station, Stanley, Hong Kong and my mother who was a kindergarten teacher gave up both of their jobs in order to immigrate over to the United States of America before the 1997 Hong Kong Handover, in fear of communist change.
My family and I used to live in a high-class neighborhood in Metrowest before technical and natural problems took toll on our house and we moved to a neighborhood relatively closer to our school.
In primary school, i meet one of my best friends, Ryo Kikuchi (キクチ リョ), a Japanese boy, in our ESOL class. Whom, to this day, i'm still best friends with. During primary school, I developed a strong interest in drawing at a young age and learned to be more creative over the years. While in secondary school, I started taking interest in the musical department and started violin lessons in Orchestra but during my 8th grade year the musical instructor, Karen Butler crushed half of the classmates' dreams to become a musicianist. Including my own.
Though I still can play the violin, it is only a hobby.
When my primary school English teacher, Mrs. Donnan was pronounced with breast cancer in 1999(?), Me and my friend, Ryo folded over 1000 paper cranes and presented it to her by the end of the year. It's been one of the most best accomplishments i've done and will remember for a lifetime.
[edit] Interests
My interests include the following but not limited to:
- Entertainment: I enjoy television and it's many shows that premieres on screen. Many of some that have been on air for many seasons, some shows that i'm into are: Seinfeld, Friends, Grey's Anatomy and Smallville (Michael Rosenbaum is so cute!). Me, also being chinese, i watch chinese television channels like TVB and TVBS. I enjoy humor to action dramas, shows, and movies. I love asian romance dramas, which is quite different than american dramas, though i would enjoy it more if there was someone to share those sad and happy moments with. Some of which include:
I am mostly pessimistic about relationships and falling in love, which relatively rarely happens to me. But if a relationship comes along once in a while, i'm willing to try.
Scratch that.

Boys won't ever change and the only thing they like doing is breaking things. They're as dense like walls.
