Hey, my name is Chi Fai Yuen. When you first meet me , you will think I’m weird and once you get to know me, you’ll still think I’m weird, but you’ll see that I’m fun to be around.
I enjoy playing handball because it gets me very hyped up to either get an ace or a kill on someone. I first started playing the sport in freshman year of high school, when I would see all these spiky hair Asian guys playing it and I thought it was cool. I started playing it and I’ve been addicted ever since. Collecting sneakers is something I like to do as well since I find that every pair of sneakers has its own background, style and features. I like variety when it comes to wearing shoes and right now I have around 30 pairs.
I don’t like waiting for anything, such as the ferry/train I have to take everyday. A lot of time in our lives is wasted simply on waiting for something to happen. I don’t like riding roller coasters because I do not find them exciting at all. When I rode the Kingda Ka, everyone around me was screaming in joy but I just sat there the whole ride in complete boredom was also like, “that was it?!” when it ended.
I am afraid of the dark. When I am trapped within a dark room, I would start to panic. There were times in my life when I was scared of closing my eyes and seeing the dark. One time, my friends trapped me in a dark room and I kept banging and banging yelling “let me out!” but they didn’t, so I broke down the door, which was not good at all.
Eating with my friends makes me happy. I enjoy having a lot of food in front of me and being able to finish all of it. The conversations that go on during the meals are always interesting. I enjoy going to Chinatown with my new friends here at Baruch during my breaks. I also enjoy the many awkward moments in the elevators that we’ve shared so far.
School is starting to get a little rough with all midterms coming up, especially in Anthropology because the professor expects us to know the material for 10 chapters of reading, 20 articles, and a book. I feel very lost in many classes and do not know why that is the case.
A moment in my life in which I felt guilty was when I stole my friend’s Yugioh card. It was a very nice holographic card and I wanted it very badly so I told him to make me a sandwich and when he was gone, I put the card in my pocket. He never noticed the card was gone and I still have the card today and although he probably wouldn’t want it anymore, I would like to return it to him someday.
A moment in my life in which I felt empowered was when I was undefeated as 3rd singles on the handball team last year. I led my team to 1st place in the Staten Island division with many crucial wins. There was a game in which I was in an 11-1 deficit, but I managed to come back to win the game 21-19, to clinch the match for my team.
My personal theme song would be Jigglypuff’s lullaby song. Jigglypuff sings it to put people to sleep and I find it very soothing and relaxing. I like when things are nice and peaceful so this would be the song for me. I certainly hope I did not put anyone asleep today!
I am at a lake feeding waterfowls and enjoying the beauty of nature.
