VIVI! I NEED A PICTURE OF YOU, ANTHONY, AND INDY!!!! |
|

I admit, I'm no photographer. For that matter, writing is more like my forte, but I guess this paragraph sure isn't exhibiting my prowess very well. My real purpose here is to show you these pictures, not so much to fill space, but to chronicle some highlights of a kaleidoscopic teenage life. These may not be the best pictures but hit hardest where it matters.
And they serve as an introduction to some pretty memorable moments. |

Amsterdam August 2002: Ahh, what a difference a year makes. Your drabness looks a little more normal, eh? The lovely creature next to me is my eldest sister, Cameron. 5'7" of pure elegance, poise, hilarity, goofiness, beauty, and love, she was my "chaperone" around Amsterdam and made that summer one of self-discovery and liberation. #1 reason why I want to return to A'dam: my sister, my bro Jono, my puppy-nephew Jackson, and the Dutch love. |

Back row: Jeff Kwok, Allie Hung, er...Jessica?, Shanon Levine, Jessica Horn, Shana...er...help..., and your drabness.
Front row: Amit Kumar, Andrew Kwok, and Casey Ho.
Europe trip July 2001: The Europe trip was a very cool, fast-paced experience. Lots of cool people and also some wilder characters not in this picture due to a ferry boat mix-up. This was in a little coastal town that served as the home base for our excursions to Venice. If you can't tell by the glitter on the girls' eyelids, we were headed to a club (no age limit for clubs or drink in Europe). Many thanks to Shanon for her innumerable kindnesses. Truly, you're the best. |

Below: My mother is in the middle, then Cameron and Jackson. This is in the Jordaan, a lovely quarter of A'dam you must return to again and again. Too bad Jackson is being camera-shy... |
