Hey guys! My name is Aron (some ppl still call me Yingbo but ... -_-). I'll take this chance to explain my seemly complicated background. I'm 100% PURE Chinese, even though I came from Singapore. I love rice and use chopsticks just like most true asians. I can speak 3 languages: Chinese, Japanese, English; and now 4, if you count FrenGay as a language. I also have a little crazy sis who's only 5 years old... those of you who've seen her should know how crazy she is =] I love maths and science, especially Physics. Anyway, here's a simplified version of my "life chain":
China(0) - Japan(6) - Singapore(10) - U.S.- NY(14) - U.S.- FL(15)
And yes, I came from Singapore. Most of you probably don't know or even heard about this place before. First of all, it's a country by itself, gaining independence in 1965 from Malaysia. It's located in Southeast Asia, surrounded by countries like Phillippine, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and positioned right next to the equator. Because of its unique geographical location, you will never experience any natural disasters. But on the down side, the climate is hot and humid for the entire year, even hotter than Florida. Also, you see the lion-shaped thingy on the back? That's called the Merlion, the national symbol of Singapore, basically like the cross between a lion and a fish. Oh well, here's more facts about Singapore:
