  • falling has become very painful, even with wearing full gear
  • reaching over to strap my bindings requires a lot of effort
  • I no longer enjoy the speed that you gain with snowboarding
  • I found going down a green trail more pleasant than going down a blue one

Hopefully, I still have a few more years left in me as I still have a couple of more places I want to try out before I actually hang up my boots. :)

]]> 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.
