Ooh! Ching-Chong Mapo Tofu Tong!

March 20, 2011 Los Angeles

When I first heard about the outrage over a UCLA girl’s rant against Asians, I was a bit surprised. I watched the YouTube in which she complained about the loud Asians on their cell phones in the library. Then she mimicked an Asian by singing, “Oooh! Ching-chong-ling-long-ting-tong, ooh!” I laughed. Yes, I laughed. Because until [...]

I Just Wanna Swing

February 17, 2011 My story

I’m sure you’ve seen a similar picture before. You know, those idyllic pictures in the magazines, in which a couple of golden-haired, blue-eyed kids are smiling brightly into the sun on rustic swing sets, all happy and relaxed?

July 21, 2010 God

She once wrote on her facebook update: “People I will never understand: dog haters, people who don’t like swimming, and murderers.” I had to reply immediately: “I’m a dog-hater. I also don’t like swimming. I’m not a murderer though…forgive me?” Now, the last [...]

En Route to Sauna City

May 15, 2010 eating out

This post is gonna be all about Korean Airlines (or KAL). In fact, I think KAL should pay me for this review. But sadly, they are not. They don’t even know I exist, but they really should. Know that I exist and pay me, I mean. First of all. I am seriously in love with [...]

Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24: Korean Fusion Street Food BYOB

March 27, 2010 dinner event

After several consecutive sleepless nights and two exams in a single day, you’d think I deserve a rest. But no. I was walking a mile to Ralph’s, taking an hour’s metro ride to the Korean supermarket, then chopping, slicing, mashing, and mixing in the kitchen, all in preparation for my Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 event.
