• My senior year picture from high school It will be interesting to see before and after MIT pictures of me.

• another picture of me, sitting on a rock on the beach

• This is my friend Shaima. She graduated from Denver University and is at the University of Wisconsin now.

• Speedy is a very fast dog. He is a toy poodle born on Dec. 7, 1985. He got his name from one of the ghosts on the video game Pac Man. I think speedy was the pink ghost, but I'm not sure. He's got a little rubber ball here, that he likes to chew on. Too bad it usually rolls under the furniture and he can't find it!

• Silky is our new german shepherd. She is a really kind and gentle dog, and really smart, too. I like taking her to the beach in Del Mar and letting her run around and chase all her dog friends. It's cool.

• Almost every year, my family would go up to Lake Tahoe to go skiing for a week. Here's all the people we went with. I'm the last guy on the right side, and one of my cousins is in front of me. My sister Yumi is the last person on the right, in the purple clothes.

• Summer of '92 clubbing in Korea! We ended up going to some disco place in e-tae-won. Not a good place to be at night; especially if you can't speak the language!

• My favorite car on the planet is an '87 Maxima. It rattles a little when going over 100mph, not that I really drive that fast! I'll put some more pictures of my old car up, and sooner or later, I'll have some of my new Maxima up here as well. It's almost identical as my old one, except it's a year younger, it's purple, and the head rests are different.

• Here's my little sister Kristine She's only 10 and hooked on anime! I love this kid!

• Here's Kristine giving me a big hug before I leave.... She's a lot bigger than that, now. I dread the day when she grows taller than me, and I end up looking up to her!

• I lived in the Cavern for my sophomore year and the summer after. I'm also living there now, summer of '96. It was a mess then, and it's a disaster zone now!!

• Me and Perry on the top of some mountain in New Hampshire. No, that is not a mop on my head. It's just really windy up there.

• Perry is a small guy. Perry is therefore a light guy. Which means that a bunch of us can toss Perry around like a twig with a blanket. Yep, that's a flying Perry. Cute, ain't he?

• My hair got really funky during a camping trip we went on over the summer. I am definitely not a morning person! I forgot to cut my hair over the summer of '95, and it grew outta control! When I came home in July and my mom saw me, the first thing she said wasn't "hi, how are you"; it was "you're getting that cut NOW!" And we went straight to a barber.

• Shaima standing on Darius to hammer in a V-ball net. What teamwork! Darius, by the way, is my genetically enhanced 6'4" roommate. He is also an EE major.

• My room is one big mess, wouldn't you say? Note the well designed ceiling closet-thingy on the right. That's the most engineering I've done in a long time!

• During the summer of '96, Shaima got a job with NASA in Maryland, so I went down to visit her for a weekend. We went to Washington D.C. for a day to look around with some of the other students in Shaima's group.

• Well, I went home for summer like a good little SPaik. What did I do there? Go fishing, what else! Yep, that's what I love about southern cal. You can hang out in your shorts on the shore and go surf fishing!

• My room senior year was a single called 4th Small Rear. I painted it a special shade of blue which Perry picked out for me called "Surfin' USA". The room came out pretty good, though the green molding looks like crap. My desk is the one on the left, and that's Warren working on the computer.

• During the summer of '97, I went to Korea to visit my relatives and hang out for a couple of weeks. All of my relatives live in Korea, and since I hardly get to see them, it was great to just go and talk to them. The last time I was in Korea was 5 years ago, so it was quite a blast. I went with my mom, so all the relatives we saw were on my mom's side. Here we are in a park in Seoul. My uncle is on the left, and those are my aunts on the right, with my grandma in the middle. Here are some more of us on the way to a hot spring bathing area. I can only recognize a few of these people; a lot of them are my grandpa's sister's daughters and poeple like that.
