1. After careful observation of your on and off court exploits, your badminton cohorts have concluded that you are “The Beast”. On a beastly scale of 1-10, how beastly do you think of yourself? No need to be shy, The Beast can exercise her bragging rights whenever it wants.
Haha, i think they were exaggerating my beast-ness. hmm should be around 6-7; it depends on the situation lol
2. Recently, several inappropriate pictures have cropped up on the internet involving you and a bag of Chex Mix. The badminton world wants to know, what is your relationship with with Chex Mix? Is it the secret behind your superior performance/beastliness?
Chex-mix — the best snack in the US, particularly the cheese flavored one! had a love-hate relationship with chex mix, cos i like it so much but it had caused me terrible sore throat :P hmmm it doesn’t have anything to do with my performance on the court, though. Penn Badminton’s team spirit is the secret of my superior performance, if any. :D
3. Will there be anymore badminton in your life after Penn? Sho shaid :(((
Yes of course! but i highly doubt that i can find a team like Penn Badminton! sho shaid :(((
4. What is life without spicy food?
Uhh kinda miserable. You guys know how crazy i am with spicy food :D I even bought a big jar of hot oil from Beijing couple times lol
5. What advice would you give to someone aspiring to be the next Devi by taking 10 classes per semester, doing a dual degree, and still finding time for badminton?
Hmm, btw I didn’t take 10 courses per semester! I don’t really have any particular advice, just remember to balance your life :D
6. If you met two really hot guys who are perfect in all aspect except for one each: Guy A could not handle the tiniest amount of spicy food (he has a genetic defect which causes him to have a fever every time he eats anything contaminated with hot sauce); guy B could not stand badminton (he got owned so badly as a kid that he still has lingering shadow of his failure past, which causes him to cry every time he sees a badminton court, or a racquet, or a birdy). Both guys love Chex-Mix (and they swear to leave the cheese triangles for you). Which guy would you go out with and why?
Easy one! I would choose Guy A! My priority is pretty clear; first is badminton, then everything else haha
7. What is your favorite shot after your opponent executed a near perfect drop to the front left corner? (game- singles) Why? What if it is XD?
cross-court net drop for singles! cos it’s the easiest for me haha… Hmm if it’s in XD, the shot is Jimmy’s :D lol cos it’s even easier haha
8. When do you think we (the badminton family) will have our first reunion? how many kids would you have by that time? =P
Hmm maybe this summer?! lol i should have no kids yet!
9. What’s one thing that you wish we did more during your years @ Penn? Why?
Do more crazy fun stuff so we can create more memories to laugh for during our reunion :D
10. Who do you think will be the first one getting married in our undergraduate team?
Our beloved Ming-Yeh Lee :P
