A Sad Weekend
This has been a sad weekend for people in Toronto. First off, a young Chinese was killed by a “customer” requesting some refund at a famous Chinese Mall. Two people were killed in two fatal accidents. My condolence goes to their family in all incidents. I don’t understand the first incident which is totally nonsense. People got killed because of some disputes? I hope this coward will step up to face the justice. Imagine this happen to his own family (which I don’t think he will ever have one), how much grief and sadness will left for the rest of the family to suffer…..

Winter sports
I used to ski a lot when I was teenager. I found that wasn’t a big deal and I m
anaged to stay in one piece after my first try, that was 1982. Now 27 years later when I saw my son started snowboarding, I have an urge to go back my time and learn this new trick by an old dog. He, being a 9 years old boy, learned this in 3 lessons. He is now able to ski down the hill without falling down. My mind said, no big deal, see what daddy can do. We went for a ski trip last Sunday at a nearby resort. This is the first time I ski with him side by side. Now I realized that snowboarding and skiing is two different tricks. They dress different, they move different and they even fall different. After witnessing him struggled at the beginning and fell a few time face first, I second thought my decision of doing that. I have to first dress like one snowboarder, ie, baggy and colorful outfit. I can manage that. Second, able to tolerate other “kids” zipping by me while I am cleaning up the snow on my mouth from my fall, that one will be hard to stomach. I have since put this decision temporary into the vault, may be forever. I think being a “cool” guy has a price to pay and I don’t think I can afford any broken bone in my body. I am staying with my skis.

My excuse
I can't believe it is almost a year since I last update my blog. I feel shame that this place has been deserted for so long. I feel I betrayed the usage of this technology world...sorry...that’s a bit too much. My friend just inspired me to get back to this thing again and I hope to do this in a regular basis. I am thinking of doing the "A Photo A day" thing for a year but I don't know if I can keep up. Anyway, I am sure the more I see my friend doing this, the better I can keep up with the update. Stay tune.
