Hey everybody! My name is Julian Tsang and I hail from Queens, New York.
Despite having lived in the city all my life, I am a country boy at heart. I love listening to country music. The music of Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, and Luke Bryan (and many others) fill my ears every morning in the subway on the way to class. But lately, I’ve also been getting into the funky pop sounds of Maroon 5 and Usher. In my spare time, I love to fiddle with my guitar. I usually play for at least two hours at a time because I tend to get lost in trying to learn new songs.
Every week, I practice Wing Chun martial arts. But please don’t be intimidated by me because I regularly get beat up by my peers in kungfu class, some of whom are smaller than me. There was an instance when a student half my size kept on hitting me and cornering me to the wall. (It was quite embarrassing since the whole class stopped just to watch me get pummeled). I think that’s a testament to how effective and easy-to-use Wing Chun is. Any person of any size can learn it. Because of this, every week, I train with a multifaceted group of students, each with his/her unique personal qualities. This kind of ethnic diversity reminds me of a certain college I attend…
Some of my other hobbies include:
– watching television comedies (The Office, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, etc.)
– serving my allegiance to the New York Giants and New York Jets
– swimming
– playing basketball
– playing pool
I have to work on my breaking…
And last, but not least, I have a soft spot for dark chocolate…and Taylor Swift.
One of my friends made this for me…and I think it’s quite fitting to be honest.
I look forward to meeting with you all this year! You can probably find me fooling around at Baruch’s pool table on the third floor.
