Al Rides A Bike

It didn’t take long after I met Al to learn that he and his brother doesn’t know how to ride a bike. How is that possible?!

No Surname Change for Me

Yes, you read that right. I will not be know as Jan Chau. Why? Well for starter, Jan Chan sounds much better. Secondly, I don’t want to go through the hassle of changing the last name on all my legal documents and IDs. Thirdly, if you haven’t noticed already, Chan and Chau is only one letter difference!
