Last weekend I went with a bunch of friends to Whiteface for our first ski/snowboard trip. Since we didn’t do any ski/snowboarding at all in 2007 we weren’t sure if going down a 4000 ft mountain would be a smart thing to do without any preparation on the much smaller Ontario hills.
We managed to make it through the weekend without any broken bones, only a very sore body. Hopefully, this won’t be our only ski/snowboard trip for this year.
Pictures of our trip can be found at my gallery website: Whiteface - Winter 2008.

During my vacation I found hard not to buy things, and I ended up getting a lot of stuff which I probably won’t use often. These includes stuff like key chains, cellphone straps, and just toys. However, my prize purchase was a new Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO LOOX U50X/V mini laptop or UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC). I later found out it was also available in the US and referred to as the Lifebook U810.
I have posted some of our toys in my gallery.

It’s been two weeks since I came back from my vacation in Asia. It and took almost the same amount of time for me to recover from jetlag. My impression for each place I visited:
- Tokyo and Hokkaido is my over all favourite place. The food is great and the people are extremely friendly and polite.
- Kuala Lumpur is more developed than I antipicated and Ipoh is where all my mosquito bites came from.
- Hong Kong has transformed itself to a retail and trading industry.
- Shen Zhen is a growing city, but its people still have a lot of growing to do.
The photos of my vacation have been posted in my gallery.
