Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to Pop, R&B, soft rock, and some country music. Well, I don't like hip hop or rap tho but there are some exceptions.
As for television, I like to watch American Idol, The X factor, Heroes, Prison Break, and, recently, Fringe.
Movie, I like action, romantic comedy, mystery, and sometimes horror films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, it's a long story. Last summer I went to Los Angeles to visit my cousin after finishing working in Laconia, New Hampshire, and my cousin brought me to a bar to have some drink before the day I'm leaving. I was underage for getting into the bar, but my cousin knew the security and the security let me get into the bar without checking ID. After about 10 or 15 minutes, I didn't get any chance to get out of the bar or run away and the police had come in, asking for our IDs. "What the fu**." said in my mind. And I have no choice to come clean that I was not at the legal age to be here. And the police gave me a ticket and command me show up at court after 3 month later. Later, in October, I went back to the U.S. to the court, and got fined $920USD. It's really one of the unforgettable memories that I have ever had!

Teach, Learn, Share

I major in TCSL(Teaching Chinese as a Second Language) and have been a tutor for some exchange students and a engineer from Korea and the U.S. for about a year. It's really quite a great experience. Also, in April 2010, I worked at a high school in New York as a student teacher. I really like to share things with other people and for me, teaching is just like sharing things, sharing your experience.
