Great Memorial Day Weekend

Had a great time attending a Karaoke party & then hiked Mt. Si with friends. This time I went all the way to the top! The view was incredible. Only drawback was that I didn’t make to Folklife as planned. Oh well still have memories from last year.

Too Many Andrew Wangs

My name is kind of like John Smith, just too damn common! Put it in Google, and you get a lot of people who aren’t me! It kind of bugs me, because unlike most Americans, I had an opportunity to choose my first name after I came to US as a kid. Should have given it more thought instead of just plucking one out the thin air. If I could do it over again, I go with something with more memorable, maybe “Kronos,” after the Greek Mythology. That’ sound like a powerful & masculine name. Or at the risk of sounding like a high school Mascot, I could just add a nick name, Andrew “the Titan” Wang.

Fishing

Went fishing at Cottage Lake on Saturday. Sat there for about 2 hours and not catching even a shadow. It was peaceful though for the most part…

Aunt Janee’s Visit

Aunt Janee was here on Thursday & Friday. Besides dancing at Century Ballroom, we talked quite a bit. Or rather she mainly talked, and I listened… For example,

Aunt Janee: Here’s what I learned from a $150 voice lesson. 1) You should pull back you jaw to relax your throat. 2) Open your mouth as you hum through your nose. 3) Fill your body and expand your hips… Now try it.

me: Ok… hummmmmmmmmm

AJ: No, open your month, renonate your voice. Now expand your hip.

me: Ok… HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

AJ: No that’s not it. You’re not doing it right. You should have a higher tone. Now pay attention and repeat what I just told you.

This monolog went about 15 minutes, and had to end as she headed to the airport. There were other topics that lasted even longer. The structures were pretty much the same… Besides “Ok,” I also heavily used ”really,” “interesting,” “wow.” Aunt Janee was definitely very energetic and opinionated. So I looked at the situation as an opportunity to practice my listening skill…

Finding Myself

admin — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 10:36:07 +0000

I like myself. It’s kind of funny writing this. But yeah I feel comfortable being me. For most of my life, I had lingering self-doubts on just about everything. But now I’m a lot more confident, not cocky, but just sure that whatever happens, I can haddle it. These days I’m a lot more calmer and mellow, but on the inside, I’m pretty focused on my goals and dreams. I don’t go around and lecture others. And I definitely mind my own business and demand honesty with my self and the people in my life. Maybe all this means that I’ve finally matured…

Recovered Nicely

Finally feeling a lot better after catching a cold last Wednesday night. Stayed at home for pretty much all that time. But I’m better now and ready to go out and have some fun!
