    Music Partner Wanted

    Hi,

    Music is my number one interest, that's for sure. I like both listening to music and playing music. I sing. I also play flute and piano at intermediate level. But I haven't been making as much music, probably since I graduated from my junior college. I was a music education major then.

    I don't have a piano right now. I do have my flute with me and I have a midi keyboard. I like almost all kinds of music. So if you know some music, especially if you play acoustic guitar, piano, or harp, please contact me and maybe we could be music buddies. Contact info in one of my business sites. I removed my e-mail here because Web bots gave me too much junk mails.



    I'm originally from Taiwan.  I grew up in Taipei. The picture on the right hand side was taken on a trip to Sun Moon Lake with my Junior College Classmates. It' was more than ten years ago.......
     

    I came to US in 1994, and now live in San Francisco.

    I have a master degree in applied linguistics, but I'm not doing much with it.  I work for a financial service firm, where I offer investment planning, retirement planning services, and home loans (mortgages and equity line of credit.)

    Do you save money regularly? I'm certainly glad I have been. I was laid off from a dot com in January 2001. I used some of my emergency fund during the transition.

     


    Interests

    As mentioned earlier, I like almost all kinds of music.  I have KDFC (a classical station) set on my radio.  Sometimes I switch to KKSF (a contemporary jazz station.)  They occasionally play New Age (on Sunday mornings.) There's some interesting work in that small category. Folk and Broadway musicals could be fun at times too.

    I also like country-western dancing, square dancing, movies, riding on my kick scooter, gardening, outdoor .... and of course some other things I would like to do but haven't found a way to start.  


    Be My Friend

    I had lots of friends when I was in Taiwan.  I had to start over after I came here.  I'm doing O.K.now, but I think I'm in need of a couple of good friends, friends that would give each other time and attention.  We all used to be like that, right? Then we got carried away ...

    That's it for now. Let me know what you've been up to, if you know how :)

    2003 Update

    I think there are actually people reading this page sometimes, so I ought to give it a little update. (Yes, those paragraphs above were written quite a while back.)

    Now I'm actually doing something with music. I was given contact information of the manager at the San Francisco Symphony Chorus by a colleague at another accounting firm. After about a year, I finally contacted him, went to an audition, and was lucky enough to join the chorus. It has been a wonderful experience. Check out the symphony's Web site and maybe I'll see you in one of the concerts.

    A second picture link is added to the side bar. I felt sharing pictures is a good way to keep in touch with my family in Taiwan and Singapore. That's why I uploaded the pictures to the Webshots site. Since I was the one taking most pictures, most pictures on that site do not have me in there.
