Even more is yet to come!

Everyone loves a bulldog =D

Bulldog Days was an amazing, crazy time for everyone: admitted students, current students, faculty, admissions officers...pretty much anyone at Yale =P Some highlights:

Inflating the three-story bulldog on Old Campus


Handsome Dan dropping by

Huge dinner in Great Hall, er, Commons

Performances from Shades, Saburosa, and more at Mosaic

More photos and videos to come as they are edited...

Spring is here!

It's absolutely gorgeous outside, so I decided to just walk around and take some photos around the Silliman courtyard. Enjoy!

International Scrabble Week?!

I got an interesting email this morning:
--------------------------------------

The Association for the Appreciation of the Celebration of Undercelebrated Holidays would like to wish you a very festive International Scrabble Week.

In case you have not realized, there are scrabble letters hidden throughout Yale's campus. Each scrabble letter has a corresponding number indicating its position in a cryptic scrabble word. Decode to find the truth. Joyous Hunting.

Sincerely,
The Association for the Appreciation of the Celebration of Undercelebrated Holidays

Not sure if it's a huge prank or something, but I'm just highly amused =P

East Side Story - the musical

Last night was the one-time-only production of East Side Story, the 2008 CASA cultural show:

As you may have expected, it was a rather satirical version, with the "Azn Boys" (ABCs) vs. the "Sha-Yu" (FOBs) on the streets of San Francisco. Tony works in Mr. Yu's boba shop, and Mai-Lee works in a beauty salon, but the overall story is still the same...

Can you guess which "gang" is which?

Tony meets Mei-Lee...

What made the show so hilarious was the sheer cultural satire, including the song "Too White, Too White," sung by Tony and Mei-Lee. Appreciate the lyrics for what they are, and the singers for their effort =P

I also got a kick out of the not-so-traditional Lion Dance, as you will see below:

Overall, it was an extremely well-done production, even with the relatively tiny stage in SSS 114, limited lighting/sound, and only about a month of rehearsal. Super-props to director K. Chiu and the whole cast and crew =)

Next up: Phoenix tech week!
