Juggling

One day, I was really bored and I decided to learn how to do the 3 ball cascade. I'm currently working on juggling 5 balls. My juggling resume includes:

• 2 balls in one hand
• 3 ball cascade
• 3 ball half shower
• 3 ball juggler's tennis
• 3 ball reverse cascade
• 3 ball shower
• 3 ball chops
• 3 ball clawing
• 4 ball synchronous fountain
• 4 ball asynchronous fountain

• One of the central juggling web site
• A site with cool java applets for juggling
• Another site with comprehensive java juggling tutorials

Hockey

Probably the only sport I'm reasonably good at is hockey, the kind where you're on your feet and not on skates (eg. floor hockey, ball hockey). I'm currently learning how to be a goalie in ice hockey with the Hockey Night in Delmont gang. I also play on the CSD intramural minors team called the Stonecutters. We tend to do well in the regular season but in the last two years we haven't had much success getting by the first round of the playoffs.

	The Vancouver Canucks are a rising powerhouse in the West.
	Pittsburgh also has a hockey team called the Penguins. They are kinda bankrupt.

Languages

I love learning languages and I'll probably end up taking some language courses during my stay at CMU. Ideally, I'd take up a new language every year but I have a problem where I'll keep mixing up words from different languages. I also need to refresh my memory on the languages that I have learned. These are languages/dialects that I've taken or that I know:

• French
  Well, I'm Canadian, eh so I ended up taking this for about 7 years. I'm forgetting more and more of it each day but I can still understand a fair bit and speak a fair bit.
• Latin
  Learned this way back in Grade 9 in high school and forgot everything. Then, in 2nd year university, I re-learned it. Now, I've forgotten everything again. It's basically a language where you have to memorize everything. There really isn't any practical use for Latin except for vocabulary tests (eg. the GRE verbal) and making cool sounding slogans (eg. tuum est, semper fidelis).
• Mandarin
  I'm currently taking intermediate Mandarin at CMU. I think I'm at a level where if I am dropped in the middle of Beijing, I can probably understand what people are saying.
• Cantonese
  I'm Cantonese originally and I can understand it but my pronunciation needs some work. Unfortunately, now that I am learning Mandarin, I keep getting my Mandarin and Cantonese words mixed up.

• Malay
• Spanish
• Italian
• Portugese
• Greek
