You've reached Janice's homepage!Thank you for your interests to know a little about me: I was born and raised in south part of mainland China, a city called Wenzhou, where most of people doing business on shoes,leather clothing and mechanics accessories, and rarely have any artists or scientists.
I was a tomboy when I was little, I climbed trees,played water gun games with my brother and his buddies,secretly killed neighbour's small chicken in a dark places, got mud all over the body and made my mom mad. And I was pretty fearless and active too, I danced and sang on the stages in thearters. I changed a lot as I grow up, I become less talktive and be aware of my actions. After all these years, when I look back, I feel I like the old me better than current me.:)
I was a pretty good student in primary school despite my wildness. My grade report was considered as gift to my parents at that time, I could not afford to buy any other gifts. When I was in middle school, I hated my teacher so much due to he was a communist, he worshiped "Mao" so much, and he took "obey" as the highest honor,he forced us to run in the squard and sang that old songs about worship "mao" every morning, he tried to train us to be soldier and ready to fight if there is a war. I was so suffered and tortured at that time. After all, i was a student in school, not a soldier in army by any means. I doubted he was suitable to be a physics teacher. I purposely hated physics so much at that time. I had to catch up what is "Newton law" or "gravity" in my high school. High school was pretty cool for me, I did not have to prepare for the standarized test on "dark 7.7" due to my immigration.
My family immigrated to U.S about six years ago, like others, I've been trying to fit myself into this melting pot although I think in some cases it's good to keep Chinese old tradition and culture. There are five members in my family, I have two computer-worm siblings, older brother is working at UCLA right now as a computer programmer, and younger sister is double majoring in computer science and math in UC Irvine. In the past, sometimes i feel lucky to be middle because my brother can be my tutor and my sister can be my labor; but sometimes, I feel awful to be the middle because I'm younger to tolerant my brother and older to give in for younger sister for certain things, that's what my parents said. But now... apparently, we can hardly see each other, this makes me miss the time we were fighting and red-necking together... I have two best parents, they sacrificed their comfort life in China and came here to support three kids for educations. I've always thinking, they should only have one kid, so they could have a much better relaxing life! but then, i would not exist...I always regret it for them, but seems my parents never regret it. My parents are strict on us and have never spoiled us, yet I can feel how much they love me even though they never said the word "love" to me...that does not mean I really want to hear, I'm more like to feel. In my leisure time, I like to go hiking, sightseeing, explore secret lands, try out different food, play table tennis, tennis, wonder in Barnes and Nobles or Borders,write poems and short novels, attend classical music concerts, and visit museums. I'm thinking to learn horseback riding too, this is one of my dream because i'm a horse, a wild one myself, this may due to I was born in year of horse in lunar calendar.
