I was never a big fan for working in a environment where i have to use shiny hard shoes, skimpy suites, and a tie to kill you slowly. sure the full dress me up game makes one looks good, but coding, designing, making a creative product is never going to work for me.
1999-2008, it has been a wonderful ride. hope the next owner will find the same joy as i experienced. So long buddy.

i proselytize myself to think i am weaker than i am
after a few unsuccessful attempt to snowboard for the last 2 weeks with mikey i finally gave up and went ahead without him, luckly will tagged along and confirmed 2 days ago that it’s actually going to happen. you know.. i have been absent from snowboarding for more than a year.. every time when i look at my boards at the office.. i’d feel guilty for not ridding them, such a waste to just let them sit and collect dusts..
anyway back to the point, yesterday morning was a beautiful day, sun is shinning, weather is bitchin.. winds are killing.. i managed to get up a little after 5am, drove to 7-11 for some good cheap coffee. but one thing just concerned me is that will is not responding to my emails *sigh*… guess i’m gonna rip the snow alone after all. but it’s ok! let’s just think positive 
1 hours after i got on road and ready to enter rt70, will paged me said ” i just woke up and I’m ready to leave” that’s great better have a ride buddy than going down the hill alone right? and someone to chat with while wait in the line for the lift ( i bet will can tell u more about the dreaded waiting time at the lift).
any howz.. stopped by at my fav food joint “Sheetz” picked up a breakfast sandwich and a cold BLT for lunch. fyi they have the best bacon in the whole area, or it’s just me that i like the taste… here’s an idea what my breakfast look like.
got there at about 8:05 and it’s already packed with people, vip lots are filled already. people are lined up at the ticket office. i went ahead and got myself an all day pass. since will hasn’t arrived yet, so i took a quick run at the lift, went up, and wow… wish i brought along my other camera.. but this will do. it’d be more pita to carry it while i board.
this is how shitty i look after a few rounds… notice some tanned area.. don’t worry it’s all gone by Monday 
i guess that’s all for now
to look at will’s entry on this snowboard trip go here

Living Cost in Shanghai (2007 Edition)
Author: Jian Shuo Wang. Published: January 22, 2007. Tag: livinginshanghai
This is the third report on living cost in Shanghai, following the previous two (I, II). The data is updated according my personal experience in Jan 2007. The data is pretty like the city in my eyes. Please be aware, different people may have different impression of the same good (depending on when to buy it and where to buy it). It is intended to give overall guideline to living cost in Shanghai.
Please note: 1 USD = 7.75 RMB as this article is written.
