About Me
I was born on February 14 in Hong Kong, China. My family immigrated to America when I was only 2-3 years of age. I am a very big fan of Star Wars, and I used to go online to Wookieepedia everyday to study more and more on the science-fiction. Unfortunately, due to the amounts of homework I am given each day I rarely have the time to do what I normally do, including any participation in Star Wars whatsoever.

Affiliation...Kind Of...
I am also a member of the Jedi Dragon Clan. The Jedi Dragon Clan is a small group of united close friends that are interested in Star Wars and the arts of swordsmanship and lightsaber combat. In the clan, each and every one of us regard each other as brothers even though none of us are related by blood. We support the Light Side of the Force, the Jedi Order, and the Galactic Republic.

Note: Please do not comment on the name of the club unless it's a compliment or a neutral comment. I don't need insults or mockery.

Shortness
I'm short for my height. However, don't underestimate just because I'm small. Remember what Master Yoda said: "Size matters not, the only difference is in your mind." I'm the proof to my friends that that saying is true. I'm growing a lot taller now anyways... :'( I'm going to miss my short height...and my high voice... ^_^ Anyways, please don't go on underestimating short people...they're a lot more skilled than you think. Besides, you were their height once before, and you still did pretty well on whatever you did, correct?

The Jedi Dragon Clan
As mentioned above, the Jedi Dragon Clan is formed by the unity of my closest friends and me. It was created during my 5th grade. Bill "Billy" Naranbaatar was once my best friend and a smart companion by my side. He gave me the idea of creating a club representing a group of our "true" friends. He was easily angered though, and that anger would later trouble many of the members of the club. Together, we created a club known as the True Friends Club.

Around that time, another one of my best friends created a game called Star Wars Adventures in which we imagine ourselves as Jedi of the Jedi Order. The True Friends Club would be made up of my three close friends in my neighborhood and my three close friends from my school.

One of the biggest mistakes was the development of ranks in the club. Of course, none of us were truly Jedi masters or even Jedi Initiates for that matter, we trained on the arts of sword combat. In that way, we had some of the older members (older not as in age) train some of the newer members. Because I didn't want anyone to have power over all of us and be known as bossy, we were leaderless throughout the early development of the club. Even so, many friends would begin seek advice from me and regard me as somewhat like a leader. I didn't want people to think of me as bossy, so I gave advice but I was hesitant to become a boss rather than a friend...

One day, Billy brought in a new member. His name was Sidong. I had always considered Sidong to be rather reckless, arrogant, and too overconfident to ever be sympathetic to his friends. I accepted him in reluctantly, though I did not show my emotions openly. Billy was assigned to train Sidong, but he could not tolerate Sidong's insensitive behavior. Soon enough, Billy and Sidong became rather a lot like rivals. Billy also was angry at me many times, but the reasons were unknown to me. I knew, though, that it was partially due to my support for Sidong since it was obvious that Billy at times drew very close to the Dark Side of the Force. However, I knew that both Sidong and Billy also at times bonded close to each other. Their bonding even at times of conflict was due in fact to a common dislike for certain qualities of me. I did not know it at that time, but they both saw me as a leader whether I accepted it or not and were somewhat jealous for it. Billy gradually distanced himself from the club until he finally left (and was simultaneously banished) in the beginning of this year. Over the summer, Sidong lost his temper and said to me that I was holding him back, making sure him and none of the other people would ever be as skilled or powerful as I was. He regrets it of course, and he's trying hard to change that darkness in him.

Billy was reluctant to tell me his reasons why he left and why he was always angry at Sidong and me. He would hint at his reasons, but he would never tell it in a full explanation. I told him that it was undoubtedly a dark reason, which would be why he would never explain to me the reasons. After all, if he had a good reason in which why he wanted to leave us (though we were banishing him anyways) then he would've openly explained it. He had nothing to say to that except that he was not going to give out anymore details and that I was smart enough to figure it out myself...and he swore at me many times. So I said that it was because Sidong was rising higher and was becoming stronger and gaining my influence while he was surpassed and loss my appreciation. In the end, it was jealousy. He didn't deny it, but he said that he was tired of me being the leader. To this I replied that I didn't want to lead...not until Sidong took over and nearly destroyed the whole club by accident... Then I said that both he and Sidong were jealous then...of me? He didn't say that it was true...but he didn't deny it...and he had nothing more to say... I can't help feeling, though, that even though all three of us were at fault, I was to be blamed the most. If only I had seen it coming. I told Billy to let go of his hatred and anger. He wouldn't, for he said that if he did, then the past will repeat itself. I said that it was not my problem...but if he didn't let go of his hatred, then he shall never find peace in his heart ever again...

The Jedi Dragon Clan was originally known as the True Friends Club. One of my closest friends in the club said that due to the conflict between Sidong and Billy, it should be changed into the True Jedi Club. I refused, since we were not true Jedi as we lacked the Force. Instead we changed the name to the Jedi Dragon Club since we saw dragons as one of our symbols. The term "club" proved to be too dull for our taste, so we changed it to the term "clan." We are followers of the the Living Force not the Unifying Force. We also believe that a force-user wielding a red lightsaber should not be regarded as a Sith. After all, my favorite color is red (and orange, yellow, and black in that order).

For now, I'm just trying to find a way to get recruits...
