Kimmy Wang (MOH) Kimmy is the middle miss of the family. She likes to claim she is the 'eldest' child and most responsible, as she is always the thoughtful one of the family...remembering birthdays and thinking of presents to give to our parents. She enjoys reading things like The Economist and is on her way to becoming CEO of a company one day. Currently she lives in Houston, TX and enjoys running marathons and traveling the world like she's rich. Whenever I travel with her, I never have to pack too much because I just wear all her clothes. It's great.
|
Conrad Loh (BM) One of the funniest and definitely the most courteous person I know, Conrad has pretty much been my best friend since growing up in Ohio. I have no idea how many nights he's slept over my house and I've lost count of how many times we've roomed at TAF. Today, Conrad continues to be an encouraging and supportive brother in Christ to me. He lives out in Ohio right now, but I expect him to move out to California some day.

Christie Wang The little miss. She is currently a freshman at the highschool I attended more than 10 years ago. She is in band and plays the clarinet. When she plays, our dog Missy runs and hides. Christie is the typical younger sister who loves receiving presents from her older sibs, but also gives to us freely. In fact, I wear one of her shirts weekly. She currently resides in Houston, TX with my parents.

Bryan Hsueh It all started when we met at TAF a long time ago. Then we decided to be roommates our freshman year at U of I. Ever since that year, my life has been filled with a whole lot of ridiculousness, but also a great deal of classic stories and unforgettable memories. Quite the enigma, Bryan is both the kind of guy you'd count on to provide you with financial advice and the kind of guy you'd count on to have a conversation with himself about being a 'mok'. Bryan currently lives in Wheaton, IL with his wife Mar Mar and will soon be a papa.

Christina Byun Christina, known to all my friends who have never met her only as Beanya, and I both went to Illinois for undergrad. Beanya is one of the most perceptive people I know, and chances are if you sit down to have a cup of coffee with her, she will end up knowing you inside and out. She is extremely busy, all the time, but is there the moment you need her to listen...and then tells you when you're being ridiculous. She currently saves lives one patient at a time in Urbana-Champaign at our alma mater.

Eddie Chen My other CS buddy and roommate from college. Eddie is known for his many nicknames and has a pretty awesome story for each one. After college, he disappeared to Singapore for a while, but since returning, he's actually been one of the best at keeping in touch. Even though he lives in NJ, we still chat almost weekly, and just about every time I talk to him, he calls me, "teeem" just like my mom does and for one second I think it's actually my mom calling me.

Jennifer Lin Jennifer is a proud alum of this year's NCAA champions. We lived together for a year in DC, and became snow boarding, baking, and shopping buddies. She is the reason for my need for designer jeans. Even though we only lived together for a year, she is one of the people in my life that knows all my quirks and still loves me... especially whenever I force her to listen to me rant for 5 minutes straight. She currently still lives in DC and makes pretty websites. And, she's getting married this summer as well!

Eric Changchien Another homeboy from Cleveland, Eric is one of my oldest friends. Way back in the day, I used to sleep over his house almost every other weekend, and each time, we'd hike through woods and buy the latest comic books. And then we'd try to draw our own comic books. Eric always had artistic talent and skillful hands. Today, he uses those hands to save lives as a surgeon in Chicago. Sorry ladies, Eric is getting married just a few weeks after I am.

Priscilla Ho Priscilla and I became friends during middle school when she moved to Houston from Oklahoma, and continued to wreak havoc together our first few years of highschool. Then I moved away and we became 'good girls'. She is one of our smartest, but silliest girls of the bunch, and enjoys reading comic books and watching nerdy TV shows like Battlestar Galactica. She currently works and lives with her sister in Houston, TX.

Mikey Shiau I met Mikey our freshman year in U of I. We instantly hit it off and generated a ridiculous amount of fun and hilarity together. After college, we lived together in Chicago and continued our friendship not only based on fun but as true loyal bros. Mikey will always be one of my go-to-guys to team up and call certain persons "bronto" (lil foot) from the cartoon movie "The Land Before Time"!

Tricia Tsang I first met Tri in the first grade when I moved to Katy, TX. We grew up in the same orchestra from middle until high school. We spent many summers at our neighboring high school pool where Tricia attempted to teach me how to dive, and I failed miserably. She is a fabulous 5th grade teacher in Houston, TX. One day she is going to open her own school and has agreed to let me teach there! Tricia is super sweet and loving to everyone around her, but don't get between her and a football endzone. She will destroy you. :)
|
Paul Lin Growing up in Cleveland together, everyone thought we looked alike. Even his mom has accidentally mistook me for him before. I wish it were true because if it were, then maybe I could also go out to Taiwan and star in TV commercials where I jump over cars and stuff. Paul has had some of the most interesting adventures, like serving pizza to DMX or getting punched in the face by Kristin Kreuk! (kinda) Today, he shares those adventures with his wife Azhu in the East Bay.

FAQ
