25 things you really didn't need to know about me...

You are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. 

1) I never could stand the smell or taste of kimchee and now I love the taste... but not the smell.

2) I have lost 11 pounds since mid-October.... 9 more to go.

3) I love Grey's Anatomy but hate seeing Denny as a ghost.

4) I get sick from traveling in Asia... the air is so bad, but it's worth the experience.

5) Six years ago, I weighed about 168 lbs and had 8.5% body fat. I now weigh 178.

6) I never attended church regularly until 2008.

7) I use to be addicted to golf and my lowest handicap was 11. But now I've played 27 holes of golf in the past 5 years/

8) My goal is to do a handstand in the middle of the room... headstands are easy.

9) I once attended 34 yoga classes in 29 days.

10) Shanghai is my favorite city in Asia, London is my favorite city in Europe and New York is my favorite city in the world. Liberty, my hometown, ranks in the top 10% of the bottom third of my list.

11) I could eat sushi 7 days a week and especially like uni and toro.

12) I worked as a bellhop and caddie at Grossinger's Hotel in the Catskills... think DIrty Dancing.

13) I always wanted to be Jewish.

14) One of my greatest vacations ever was an all guys sailing trip on a 40 foot yacht thru the British Virgins Islands. Four of us went and we crewed, cooked and had a blast. But I didn't know how to swim.

15) I passed my swimming test at Cornell by creeping along the edge under the instructors field of vision part of the way and doggie paddling the rest.

16) I owned a real car phone, Motorola pager watch, Apple Newton, Palm Pilot, and Blackberry pager. Now I have iRobot.

17) I admit that I am rhythm challenged, which hurts me in dance class, Guitar Hero and Garage Band.

18) I love coffee Haagen Daz and used to eat a pint before going to bed when I was 21. I still can and want but don't.

19) I was in All County Choir when I was in 7th grade, but after my voice changed... argh!!!!!! Oh, by the way, I was a soprano.

20) I grew up speaking Shanghainese, but now am the equivalent of a remedial 2 year old.

21) Michael Kang caught me trying to sneak by with only 20 items. 

22) I am a fan of Lasik but I still need glasses at night to drive. But it's worth it.

23) My favorite all time music group is YES. Coldplay, Snow Patrol and Sarah McLachlan come close.
