I have a deep passion for sports. I love playing golf and bowling. I enjoy listening to music. I particularly like U2, Metallica, and good rock and metal. I also listen to old and new Asian/Hong Kong tunes. I love playing video/computer games when I have free time. I do not often read literary books, but I enjoy reading technical journals, newspapers (domestic and international), and periodicals to keep up with what is going on in the world.
I am a season ticket holder to watch the Boston University Terriers (NCAA Division 1 Men's Ice Hockey). I follow the Miami Hurricanes and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in college football. I follow Manchester United Football Club (England) in international soccer. I follow the major Boston-based sport teams (particularly the Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox in that order) closely.
