Parents
My parents are a wonderful pair with their own idiosyncrasies
They have many things in common. Like that they were both teachers in Taiwan.
But that's where the similarities end.
While Dad's a little bit more nostalgic; Mom's a little bit more or a realist.
Dad tends to complain more vocally, Mom will voice it through actions.
But, regardles how they differ, they have always been able to lean on each other's strengths to fight through the adverserties.

They have been great parents and have always put the my sister and my welfare first.
But I do have one note of complaint that need to be raised.
They are trying desparately to get me married off. I am not sure if this is because they believe marriage will settle me down or they are worried I am never going to find someone to marry me?


Sister
My sister and I always had opposite personalities even though that have changed through the years.
I was the shy one throughout our teenage years, while she was the out-going one.
I was so shy, that I ran away from my first violine lesson when I was five. I thought I was going to receive a flu shoot when the violine teacher attempted to measure my arm for the right-size violine.

She's now trying to become a web graphic designer.

My relatives on my father's side are numerous.
For starters, my father had 9 brothers and sisters and each have their own family.
Needless to say, family gatherings are always a fetive event.
