Godzilla strikes!

This weekend, I attended Family revealing.  The fact that I, myself, was there was astonishing in and of itself, but I was even more surprised to see the number of alumni there.  It still paled in comparison to the numbers we used to see “back in the day,” but there was a significant increase since the past terms of just me, Dinh, and Sophia.  One of the biggest surprises was to see Merry Chin (nee Chen) there!  For those of you who don’t know, Merry is from Tran class, and she was one half of the best FVP pair I have ever seen.  As an FVP pair, she and Albert Tong were the bar to which I have since compared each and every Fellowship team, and no one has reached that bar yet.  (Merry actually skipped out on her one-year wedding anniversary to come out to revealing)  

Something else you may not know about Merry is her nickname: Godzilla.  You see, Merry was once the terror of Japan.  Also known as “Gojira,” Merry is known to have destroyed whole cities and crushed people under her feet.  However, there were some Japanese people who had eluded her.

Enter Mika Nishiya.  A Japanese citizen (who was almost not allowed to return to the US were it not for the unrepayable help of one Angela J Cheng), Mika happened upon Merry’s path.  Merry sprang into action and acted as the giant dinosaur she is.  Hence, the brutal smushing of my beloved pledgebro on the corner of the State Capitol.
