A major factor that made my CAL experience exciting was that i found my long lost sister here.
Her name is UYENNIE!!!!
How does that work you may ask???
I first met my sister at CALAPALOOZA. I was first introduced to her through my cousin Linda. As a freshman, who did i know...NO ONE.. IM SUCH A LONER... She was like the second or so person i met in VSA. Ohhh i saw here tabling under the sun at calapalooza, she was wearing a the brown vsa t shirt if i remember correctly. But even then i didn't really know her. We were more of an acquaintance.
The first real time where i got to hang out with her (well kinda) was after field night during my fall semeter 07 here at Berkeley. It was after field night, some vsa cabinet and I went to Christy's Ho place to eat banh xeo and this was where i first got to know here.
I got to know her a bit more though a dance that we were apart of. This was The Fall Showcase. We dance to the song Da Khong Yeu Thi Thoi, i think i spelled the song wrong, but yea. This was where i got to see her dancing skills. she was really good. Oh yea one more thing, she did a fan dance during CALAPALOOZA. After this event, we hanged out at the Asian Ghetto and went to get food and dang we talked about random stuff... hehe
We go closer, during the Culture Show of Spring 08. We were part of the hip hop dance team in VSA Sriracha. We spent so much time together on this dance team. From 2 hour practices to a whole day practice, we practically see each other almost every day.. heheh.. and dang she has dancing skills.
After culture show was over, i was on MIA for the summer and i didnt really interact to Uyennie. Awwwwwww which suxs because i went to a JC that was hella far away for summer school.
Fall semester of 2008.
I got like HELLLLAAAAAA CLOSER to my Sister.
It was to the point were i stayed over at her apartment almost everyday. Literally.
Once moving out to the dorm and into an apartment, i didnt really like it at my apartment.
Therefore, i came over to Uyennie's apartment and stayed over.
Staying over, Uyennie helped me in O chem and other classes.
One think i learned from staying at her place, other than putting the toliet seat down (Hey, i live with dudes ok), was learning how to cook.
My sisters cooks the best food here. She makes like almost everything i ask for.. heheh
For example, Banh Xeo, Spring Rolls, Sushi, and hella goood dessert.
Also, im very comfortable around my sister. I MEAN VERY COMFORTABLE around here.
I can change clothes in front of her, sleep next to her like a little brother, and pass gas..hehehehehehe
Other than that, she has helped me in many ways. From my major to personal problems, shes been side by side through my life a Berkeley.
One thing what i like about my sister was that shes like the next Minh Tuyet.
She knows like almost every single song in the world in English and in Vietnamese.
Like in this year's fall show case, she sang the song "Em Xe La Nguoi Xa Di"
I played the player in that song and she was singing with Christina.
Shes also a good singing teacher. She taught me to sing "Vang Trang Khoc"
Hehehe sooo sad.
Now,
I didnt mention this, but she is graduating and im sad.
This year has been the best ever with my sister in my life.
Now that she is graduating, iono what to do.
But,
All i wanted to say is THX UYENNIE.
i love you soo much
thx for every thing you did for me.
I willl miss you soo much after you graduate.
Sorry, i teared when writing this.
