^_^ -- ABOUT ME / 關於我 -- ^_^

    Hello, everyone, thank you for visiting my home page. I am creating this section because some people urged me to have a page for myself and not someone else (...i.e. Wu-Yin-Liang-Ping), and another reason is....some people actually think I am one of those two people...haha. So here, I am going to reveal a little about myself.

    I currently live in Taipei, Taiwan. My life is a mixture of Taiwan and the United States and it's a long story too... I was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, ROC. In Taiwan, ROC, I used to live in Ling-Ya District of Kaohsiung City (I live across the street from the Kaosiung City Hall), and I still live there whenever I go back to Taiwan, ROC. Kaohsiung City (not to be confused with Kaohsiung County), located in southwest Taiwan, is the second largest city and the largest sea port in the Republic of China (which mean on the island of Taiwan) with a population of about 1,845,000. If you want to know more about Kaohsiung City, click here Kaohsiung City.

    However, I moved to the United States when I was 11 years old. I used to live in the Clear Lake area (around NASA Space Center) of Houston, Texas when I was in high school (and still live there whenever I go to the United States). I lived there for 7 years and graduated from Clear Lake High School. Afterwards, I went to Chicago to study at The University of Chicago. The University of Chicago is a private school in (of course) Chicago, Illinois, and it ranks # 14 on the 1998 US News & World Report college rankings (along with Cornell University and Johns Hopkins University). The University of Chicago is a really cool school, and Chicago, as a city, is even cooler (even though Chicago has really crappy Chinatown...or should I say...Cantonese Town...^_^). I really like it there and it's the first place I ever stayed that actually snows, and I just love cold weather ^_^.

    As you can see, I am really into Chinese music...well...maybe not THAT into it. I know people are like REALLY into it. Even though I live in the US for so long, some how I am not into American music at all...in fact, I think my friends in Taiwan knows more about western music then I do...hehe.. I just like Chinese music better, don't ask me why, because I don't even know. I always try to keep in the same pace as Taiwan. So I often try to find out what's new in the Chinese music world through Chinese newspaper and the Internet. Since I am into Chinese music, guess what else I like.....Karaoke!!! I like to go to KTV, in fact, I can stay there for hours and hours. People think I am crazy with karaoke, but I just like to sing. Also, even though I used to live in the US, I rarely watch TV (except for weather forecast, so I can know how hot it will be and what to wear tomorrow ^_^ ). Two things that I watch are....1. Those Chinese entertainment shows....2. Japanese TV Series. My favorite Chinese entertainment show is "Super Sunday"...I love that show!! It's soooo funny, and my favorite Japanese TV Series was "Under the Same Roof", and "Long Vacation"...I really like that TV series, it made me feel that there is such a warm love that exists in this world of chaos. "Under the Same Roof" is the only thing that I have ever seen before that made me cry, I didn't even cry when I saw the "Titanic", but "Under the Same Roof" is simply too much to handle. As you can see, I am kind of detached from the American society...hehe. I have been in the US for 8 years, but I don't know why I am still so attached to Taiwan..... but I guess that's the way I am and those are the things that I like. Sometimes, even I think of myself as a strange person. I know people that came to the US about the same time as I did, or even later than I did, and they are so compatible into the American world, but not me. So....get the picture of who I am??

    Now, let me tell you about something else that is weird about me. Why do people like basketball so much?? I don't see the point to basketball.....it's just a game where people fight for one ball so they can throw it into a basket. OK, take this as an example, if an alien ship comes down to Earth and sees what those people are doing, they will probably think this planet is full of low intelligence life forms or something. Sorry is I offend someone...^_^) I think tennis is a better sport. Even though some people may argue that the aliens will think we are low intelligent beings hitting an ugly yellow ball back and forth on an ugly green ground. I think tennis is fun and interesting, but I have trouble finding people to play with me around here. Most people rather play basketball or they think I am not good enough for them. Oh, also ice skating is fun too. I have been roller skating and roller blading since I was little. However, I first experienced ice skating when our high school orchestra went to Dallas. A few friends of mine and I went ice skating at the Dallas Galleria. After that, I just fell in love with ice skating. I hope will have chances to ice skate at Chicago. OK, I admit, I am a strange person, but I guess everyone is strange according to other people's standards.

    Anyway, I hope you will like my homepage. If you want, you can always give me suggestions and comments about my homepage....or about my life too ^_^. Thanks a lot!!! 1
