here's my dad. nature enthusiast, geologist to the core, and even more so a proponent of all in this world that's taiwanese. i couldn't adore him more. the color of his skin (much in contrast to my sickly whiteness) tells of desert expeditions for work and play, not to mention hours of pure enjoyment at the tennis courts or the driving range, where i'd sit, watch and learn. though my natural ability seems to have limited me somewhat (sorry dad!), my dad put true effort into trying to make an athlete out of me: in tennis, golf, soccer, ping pong, baseball, tennis, golf...i love you! |
mom! hi mom. have i mentioned that this is my mom. she's a full-time real estate guru and can close a deal with prowess and diplomacy all in one swift stroke of her pen. and, she's not bad at day trading these days either, which seems to be a growing trend amongst our asian mothers. a scary thing to think about, but hey, more power to em (especially if they rake profits)! my fragile heart (not to mention slim pocketbook) can't handle that kinda thing, so i just listen, smile and nod at the wild price flux stories. (see that xine, choice of NO serial comma between "smile" and "and". HA! it's MYYYY website anyway!) | then there's christine. my older sister, my hero (only shh! don't tell her that -- i haven't yet). christine's a brainiac engineer who works at shutterfly (lucky!). she's also part-time web designer, part time life advisor to her little sister. hefty job, that. christine's one of those people who never have a hard time answering that question: "sooo...what are your hobbies?" her spare time occupiers are gardening, hiking, dog showing, sci-fi/fantasy book reading and, previously, motorcycle riding. vroom, vroom... | meet don, my brother-in-law (it's so weird to say that). don's a long-time hp engineering loyalist, which is where he met christine (a match made in heaven). he's also another one of those hobby enthusiasts, and his talents to date include motorcycle riding (sound familiar?) on his harley davidson, woodworking (some impressive projects to date, though i still haven't managed to actually score any of them for myself), flying small planes and mowing the lawn (or perhaps this latter one is merely a chore-- at any rate he always seems to be doing it). oh, and how could i forget beer guzzling. perhaps that's why he gets along so well with grandma. | my gramma is one of the most amazing women i know, not to mention CUTE! my words could hardly begin to do her justice, but i'm obliged to share her with the rest of the world to be fair. a great cook, a captivating storyteller, oldest sister and caregiver to five brothers (and the only one in the states) and a connoisseur of fine beer (bud light and miller genuine draft. warm and none other) my grandma's unwavering strength of spirit is unquestionably and unendingly an inspiration to me. |
so this would be me. well, i'm the one on the right, just to make that clear. to my left is cooper, my dreamboat. cooper's my sister's first golden retriever puppy and had his own website before me. not bad, eh? uh...what else. okay. more about me some other time. |
"think liquid. " that's what this rocker does - in fact, she's paid to do it as technology strategist at venture consultancy liquidthinking (sheesh what a plug). oh but there's so more. and this picture really says it all. an honorary member of the family, jenn eats crawfish, writes poetry, is a former skater, hoop shooter, snowboarder, loft decorator, first time homebuyer, need i say more? oh, and not to mention, one of my best friends. together we aspire to fame and quick riches, vow daily to quit our corporate jobs and work retail (or maybe that's just me), and diligently surf the web to report new and useless findings to each other. |

damn i'm one lucky kid. |
