Mission Impossible: $300, five stomachs, one P.F. Chang’s

September 2, 2011 dinner event

I remember when I first visited a Chinese restaurant in America. It was in New Jersey, and I was 12. At the time, I hadn’t emigrated to America yet; I was merely accompanying my parents to their mission trip in America, and I was in New Jersey visiting my then pen pal, Joanna. Joanna’s mother [...]

Foodbuzz 24 x 24: 5 Pies, 1 Hand, Much Booze

August 28, 2011 dinner event

I got a nasty scare Friday night. I called my parents as I do almost every evening, and my dad told me that my mother’s heart was palpitating. My mom has had minor heart palpitations ever since she was 13, but it’s been getting worse since she’s gotten older and hit menopause. The palpitations last [...]

Jewel in The Yellow House

July 25, 2011 blog meet-up

This is the last week of my internship. I’ll be completely honest—I’m relieved. I’m breathing a sigh of relief, but there’s also sadness and reluctance mixed in there. Last week was horrible. It started out horribly, actually. I came to work early in the morning, and received an irate email from a camp director. I [...]

“White People” Sandwich and ChildFood Fantasies

March 25, 2011 My story

The Past

August 20, 2010 eating disorders

I left my parents at the airport on bad terms. It was such a sudden twist of mood—the whole family drove together in one car to Dulles Airport, enjoying the final moments together. And then we found out that one of my luggage was over the weight limit. The one with the three jars of [...]

Well-Rounded Confidence

July 14, 2010 dinner event

I’m confident in a lot of things…but beauty is not one of them. Okay, I’m so embarrassed to admit this—but hey, no matter what, I’m still a girl…and I’m vain as a peacock. Like everyone else, I like to look good. I like to get compliments from others. I want girls to look at me [...]
