My Life and Hobbies

Love Life

My girlfriend is Lillian Zhang, second year NYU Math PhD candidate. We've gone through a lot in our days at New York, from Century Park to Flushing, from Newport to Coney Island. We buried ourselves in the love tales at Seattle as well as in the forest and valleys at YellowStone. Our anniversary is October 7th. 2006
