Heya,
Another month has passed since I updated… here are some highlights in the past month.
Rock Climbing
Ski season is over and now my friends and I need to find an alternative physical activity. We finally settled with indoor rock climbing as a suitable replacement to replace skiing. It’s been a month since we started climbing and our skill level is increasing quickly. In the beginning, we were only looking for explicit stones to place our hands and feet. As we progressed, we’re looking for other features on the wall such as built-in ledges and able to wedge our bodies into the wall. Eventually, I hope to climb real outdoor rocks in the summer.

New York City
My friends and I went over to New York last weekend. I should introduce the cast (order from left to right on the picture below):
Me – The only Chinese guy in the group
Jen – you can easily pick her out in the photos, she joined us when skiing started
John – he’s a friend of Rowan’s and Jen’s we met up in New York
Link – the guy in the blue shirt, I’ve known him since Co-op Japan
Rowan – the tallest person in the group, known him since last July when we formed the outdoor enthusiast group
We did a variety of things – took a lot of photos, saw some wicked shows, and for myself: I saw what could have been if I were to work in New York instead. I still think I made the right choice one year ago. I also met up with my cousin Sam – we took a long walk from the World Trade Center all the way up to Times Square.
Saw two shows while I was in NYC: Cirque du Soleil and Avenue Q. Cirque du Soleil was about clowns and Avenue Q was like the muppets for adults. Got an awesome price on those tickets thanks to Microsoft benefits.
Will post more pictures soon – Wordpress is not cooperating.
The month of April was a fun month – work is still busy but I’ll keep marching until my product ships.
