Once again, sorry for the delay! So here's a quick recap of what's been going on! Last Tuesday was the second part of our Relay For Life fundraiser! Thanks to everyone who bought bubble tea or cupcakes to support cancer research! TASA raised another $114 for the cause bringing its total donations to $198! Thank you all so much for the support!  Just last Thursday was our event with HKSA -- Dim Sum and Game Night! Sincerest apologies from both organizations for the lack of food and the lack of efficiency. Please give us more feedback on the event by emailing us at

so that we know what else we can improve on with the event! In any case, I hope you still managed to take a break from classes and projects to play a few games and make new friends both in TASA and in HKSA! Check the photo gallery to see the event photos!
Friday was Relay For Life! (Sorry, no photos were taken at this event.) Thanks again to everyone who attended our bubble tea and bake sale to help support the research! Although no one in TASA had the stamina to pull an all-nighter, we did have a special guest drop by from Greenville -- yes, Christopher Yang, our service chair from last semester, came down from co-op to fulfill his duties ... with Emerging Leaders? Nonetheless, thanks for coming, Chris! We love your dedication!! Thank goodness we didn't pull that all-nighter! Bright and early Saturday morning was Tech Beautification Day! Again, there were no photos from the event, but a special thanks goes out to member Dexter Chan for accompanying future treasurer Brian Chiang, current historian Megan Liu, and me as we worked around the Family Living Center on North Campus, placing pine straw along the perimeter in order to maintain moisture for plants and to prevent erosion! Of course, credit goes to current publicity chair and future vice-president Justin Yen and current social chair Tiffany Chang as well for their prior commitment to TBD with AKPsi!
To those of your interested in applying to the TASA Board of Officers next year, applications have been out! If you didn't get it in the email, or if you already deleted the emails with the attachments, click here to download the application and the descriptions of each position! Please be sure to email your applications to next year's co-presidents Lynn Tsai (

Oh, and did you happen to get the memo? "The Up with the White and Gold Steering Committee would like to invite you to attend the annual Up with the White and Gold Awards Ceremony.

Check the Facebook event for details on what items we will be serving and what games we will have! Also, if you have a game you want to bring, BRING IT!

And finally, the long-awaited update!  So first a short (or not-so-short) recap of the past FOUR events! As a belated Valentine's Day event, we showed the romantic Taiwanese comedy Hear Me (聽說) at our Noodles and Movie Night event. Unfortunately, we had issues with the subtitles so hopefully you enjoyed the karaoke filler as we attempted to fix the problem! And of course, hopefully you enjoyed the film itself and had your fill of delicious beef noodles! Next, we had TASA Iron Chef where three guest teams, Team Basil, Team Hobbes3, and Team Püdding, challenged the TASA board's representative team -- Team Numba 1 -- with leader Treasurer Bryan Yang and members Freshman Representative Ian Chen and Erica Yang! Check out the photos and videos in the Fall 09 - Spring 10 gallery to see what you missed out on! And congratulations to Team Püdding (with leader Brian Chiang and members Joseph BK Kim, Yanhui Lye, and Henry Yew) for winning first place with their 三杯雞 (three cup chicken also known as basil chicken) with fried shallots! And congratulations to Basil Soofi of Team Basil for winning second place with his curry/masala based dish with fried shallots! And of course, Team Numba 1 came close with third place with their mix of flavors from the streets and home topped with fried shallots. And last, but not least, congratulations to Satoshi Kawasaki of Team Hobbes for his salmon with Hollandaise sauce plus fried shallots!  What's with all these fried shallots? Well that was the secret ingredient, of course! A big thank you to those of you who showed up to the event! And a bigger thank you to those who didn't! Because fewer attendees means more food for us! Of course, the greatest thank you must go out to all the competitors! Thanks for making the event a success!
In the same week, we had TASA and VSA's Bo Bo Garden Outing for a night of great food and karaoke! Oddly enough, no members of GT's Vietnamese Student Association actually attended the event ... so the event ended up as just a TASA event! We certainly hope that you had your fill of good food and enjoyed singing ... or just watching others sing a few good hours of karaoke!  Of course, a huge thank you to everyone who managed to come out and another thank you to those who provided transportation! Of course, check out the photos and video in the Fall 09 and Spring 10 gallery to see what foods were there, who showed up (from other colleges too!), and to hear Vice President Steve Hsieh breaking down to "Drowning" by the Backstreet Boys! Sorry Steve. It was too good not to post. Apologies in advanced for the poor quality, but a big thank you to Jerry Fu for taking the photos and the video! (Although, if you really like videos, you should check out the videos from Iron Chef -- they're not only more comprehensive but a lot crazier!) Finally, TASA collaborated with the Caribbean Student Association (CaribSA), the Filipino Student Association (FSA), the Hong Kong Student Association (HKSA), and Japan Society (JS) in an exotic mixer Island Night! Punch from the Caribbean islands,  gulaman from the islands of the Philippines, coconut sago cream from Hong Kong, Calpico from Japan, and bubble tea from Taiwan -- did you try them all? Aside from the refreshments, hopefully you enjoyed the performances by KerKer Band and Magicians @ GT! A huge thank you to them for providing entertainment! If you didn't pick up an event program but would still like one, let us know! There's information about each of the five participating organizations, their drinks, and the performers inside! Also thank you to those who either dressed up in cultural dress or semi-formally! You guys looked like studs! Of course, let us know how the event was -- and what went well and what could have been better by emailing us at
