Hobbies

A little collection of the hobbies I have acquired over the past few years…or decades

Chinese Yo-Yo

I picked up the Diabolo or Chinese Yo-Yo over the last year and have been a part of Cornell Pro-Yos, Apex Diabolo, and Nova Diabolo. My most recent performances were the BU CSA Lunar New Year Gala and the AANHPI Heritage Month Celebration.

Lion Dancing

For the last few years, I have studied lion dancing from Cornell Lion Dance club and Mak-Fai Kung Fu and Lion Dance.

To see me perform, check out Mak Fai’s 50th Anniversary Drum Routine, ISU’s Winter Gala Performance, or CLD’s showcase performance.

Climbing

I also enjoy climbing on occasion.

Bridge

In my last year in undergrad, I picked up a little bit of bridge. I currently play Precision Club, and I’m on bridge base online under the name cs_ling.

Linguistics

I like to dabble in linguistics, and some of my current topics of interest include syntactic topicalization, tonal languages, and the general field of pragmatics and semantics.

In my free time, I also enjoy learning and creating new languages. Languages that I am currently studying or have studied in the past include:

• Vietnamese
• French

And here are some languages I would like to study in the future:

• German
• Japanese
• Swedish
