How to be the Perfect Asian American Parent (from the second generation perspective)

1.	Be a little more lenient on the 7:00 p.m. curfew.
2.	Don't ask where the other point went when your child comes home with 99 percent grade on his/her report card.
3.	Don't "ai-yah" loudly at your kid's dress habits.
4.	Don't blatantly hint about the merits of Habadu(Harvard),Yeil (Yale), or Purinsuton (Princeton).
5.	Don't reveal all the intimate details of your kid's life to the entire Asian community.
6.	Don't ask your child, "What are you going to do with your life?" if he/she majors in a non-science field.
7.	Don't give your son a bowl haircut or your daughter two acres of bangs.
8.	Don't try to set your kid up on a date in anticipation of their poor taste or inept social skills.
9.	Incorporate other phrases besides, "Did you study yet?" into your daily conversations with your children.
10.	Don't ask all your kid's friends over the age of 21 if they have a boy/girlfriend yet.

How to be the perfect Asian kid (from the first generation perspective)

1.	Score a perfect 1600 on the SAT.
2.	Play the violin or piano on the level of a concert performer.
3.	Apply to and be accepted by 27 colleges.
4.	Go to a prestigious Ivy League university and win enough scholarship money to pay for it.
5.	Have four hobbies: studying, studying, violin/piano, and studying.
6.	Love classical music and detest talking on the telephone.
7.	Become a Westinghouse, Presidential and eventually a Rhodes Scholar.
8.	Aspire to be a brain surgeon.
9.	Marry an Asian-American doctor and have perfect, successful children (grandkids for ah-ma and ah-ba!).
10.	Love to hear stories about your parents'childhood...especially the one about walking 20 miles to school without shoes.

How to make your Asian girlfriend eternally happy

1.	Be RICH. This is important for you, but not for her. For her, the number 2 rule follows:
2.	Spend MONEY on HER. This is the most important thing for her, whether you are rich, have any money, or must lie, steal, or kill to do it.
3.	Be TALL. Of course you have no real control over this, but if you don't do it, she will secretly and forever resent you for it and it will come out of left field to smite you. Preferably be about 1 foot taller than her not for comfort or aesthetics, but because you are a trophy and, as always,
4.	Be a MINDLESS ZOMBIE RULED BY HER. Forget what you've heard about submissive Asian women. They actually rule every relationship with insidious and painful, passive-aggressive, guilt-evoking, whiny,crying mind-control.
5.	Have the EMOTIONAL STABILITY OF A 4-YEAR-OLD. She will be impressed and enraptured by your delight at the sight of Hello Kitty, stuffed animals, puppies, kitties, duckies, bunnies, as well as flowers, chocolates, shiny jewelry and other trinkets and knick-knacks. Also, she will understand perfectly well if you pout over the smallest perceived slight or slip and demand to be appeased, assuaged, or made up to. If you behave any other way, she will never understand it.
6.	Dress like a PRETTY-BOY GEEK. This will save her the trouble of replacing your wardrobe and dressing you, herself.
7.	Remove EVERY HAIR ON YOUR BODY EXCEPT THOSE ON YOUR SCALP. The sight of a whisker on your face reminds her that somewhere inside you, something is trying to grow. You must not grow - you must be as unchanging and constant as the firmament.
8.	There are NO MORE RULES to making your Asian girlfriend eternally happy. If any situation arises which you feel the rules have not addressed, you are mistaken - immediately refer to the primary rules #1 and #2 - they are the solution in every such case.

Top Ten Pick Up Lines Used by Asian Men

10.	I may look like a nerd but it's only a disguise.
9.	I carry this beeper not to feel important but so my mom knows where I am. I carry this phone to call her back.
8.	Uhhhh, no, I didn't play football in high school but I did letter in varsity volleyball and tennis.
7.	Has anyone ever told you you look like Chun Li? You know, that chick from Street Fighter 2.
6.	What do I do? Gee, I thought you would never ask. Y'see,I'm finishing my first year of residency in internal medicine.
5.	Yeah, (sniff) I cried during "Joy Luck Club."
4.	Do I cook? Well, not really but I can whip up a pretty mean fried rice!
3.	You know what? It's strange, but I get mistaken for a white guy all the time!
