Hi, I’m Jen, and I was born on Halloween in Queens, NY. I am half Malaysian and half Chinese. I’m afraid of the dark, bugs, heights, public speaking, death, growing up, and scary movies. I am DEATHLY afraid of scary movies, and I owe it all to my wild imagination. It really sucks because it causes me to imagine those scary movie characters in my bedroom or bathroom. When I was young, I used to take swimming lessons at the Flushing YMCA. The pool was extremely dark, but in the deep end, I used to think there were sharks and octopuses chasing after me while I was doing my backstroke ): One thing that makes me really happy is shopping. It’s not only the feeling of getting new things that makes me happy, but it’s also the feeling of just looking for them. I love any type of shopping, whether it’s shopping for clothes, my dorm, food, or gifts for my friends; I absolutely love it! Another thing that makes me really happy is sports. I like that I can be a girly girl, shopping and watching chick flicks all the time. But I also like that I’m pretty athletic and involved in sports, more than usual for a typical girl. I love watching basketball; I can’t really play it. My favorite team is the Lakers, but I also love the Knicks and Magic. However, I love playing tennis. It’s my favorite sport ever, even though I’m not really good at it. I feel that being athletic is important, and that includes girls AND guys. I hate how a lot of girls are unable to play sports. I have a friend who can barely hit a volleyball or even swim. She literally drowned in one foot of water in the ocean… I think that’s really sad, and it’s even worse when guys are not athletic. I just feel that sports are such an important and fun part of our lives that everyone should participate in some sport.
