Well, about me¡K I came to United States to study for higher education back then when I was 15 years old. At very beginning I started out in an Arizona boarding school, and then I stayed in Los Angles briefly before I went to Tulsa, Oklahoma, the state where I spend my last 8 years studying in Union High School, Northeastern Oklahoma State University, and eventually graduated from University of Oklahoma with Marketing/International Business degrees.
There are few things in my life which I consider important and has affected my life in the most profound way. First is my cats, ever since my family got this little kitten for me name Mimi, back in 1992, since back then I did not have many friends (was not really the popular kids in my school¡K) she was the majority of ¡§happy¡¨ part of my childhood memory. Then after that, there was Angel, another Mimi while I was in United States, and NeNe, a young male cat who was American Mimi¡¦s best friend. I think the biggest different between Cat and Dog is (no, cat is not evil¡K) their personality and how the way they show their appreciations for their caregiver. Dog, not only will bocks loudly to inform you of his presents, in my option, I think the general personality of dogs can be best sum it up by Robert De Niro in the movie ¡§Meet the Parent¡¨: ¡§¡KWhat, you like dogs, so you like emotional shallow animal?¡¨

Well, face it people, dog will bock his owner to death if his need are not taking care of. But Cat on the other hand, if she is not happy with you, the cat will simply walk away or meow a few times to get your attentions then took off on its own. I don¡¦t know, maybe this is because cat is more independent while dog are more needy.

Second thing in my life that¡¦s really important is this thing call motorcycle. No, not those ¡§mopeds¡¨ you seem in Taiwan that won¡¦t go any faster than 40mph. According to my standard, anything below 249cc are consider scooters and are not subject to my ¡§manly¡¨ objectively. While I was in U.S., I was fortune enough to run across this really nice red Yamaha 599cc bikes for sale at amazingly low price. Well, let me just put it in this way, after I brought the bike, my life was never the same again. It was my personal ¡§Roller Coaster¡¨, riding that thing down highway at such high velocity not only was it dangers, but especially when the bike is in high speed during cornering, that¡¦s when I can feel to be touch by death itself and have started looked at my life in different perspective ever since. I came from a business family, where one of my main objective in life was to study, graduate, then came home to learn the craft of business, and then go on to make a lot of money hence fulfill the definition of successes in the business tradition family. But after I start to ride motorcycle, the life was then changed to, when is my next chance to ride? Where would be a good place to ride to? And when I blast that little 600cc into the valley of the shadow of death, that¡¦s when I feel truly alive, temporary escaped from that reality we call life. Catapulted myself into different state of mind; Well, to me, it was the definition of heaven.

The third thing, well, it can¡¦t really be called ¡§thing¡¨, because it was the lifelong lessons I learned from my past relationships with many lady who toughed my heart one way or another. This part I am going to have to think about it before I go on¡K but just keep in mind that although things did not work out between me and them, nevertheless, I will always be thankful that they were once part of my life, and they will forever have a special place in my heart.

I think that¡¦s about it, for about me. Please feel free to e-mail me if you find anything interesting or would like to bash me about what I said earlier. Your input is always welcome. Have I mentioned that I am very opened minded?

Best Regard, You All Take Care Now ļ
