1st Valentine's at Santa Fe, New Mexico

14-16th Feb 2009

Believed it or not, SB & I have not spend our Valentines' Day together before getting married.

Not because we are apart from each other.

Not because we have no time to celebrate.

Not because we have no money to celebrate.

Just because ....

We did not meet each other before Valentine's day till the date we got married.

So, we travelled to a romantic city in New Mexico to celebrate our 1st Valentines.

We had a romantic dinner at Tomasita's Restaurant.

We both had a great time in Santa Fe especially the great architecture of Mexican buildings, arts galleries, museums as well their prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market.

My 1st Skiing

7 February 2009

SB, Wai Seong, and I went to Ski Cooper for skiing. It was a great experinced for 1st timer like me and Wai Seong.

Waiting for our beginner class.

SB with our instructor.He is teaching us the basics like how to walk side ways, how to get up when we fall, how to turn around and how to stop.

Woo Hoo! We graduated! And ready to go for an adventure of our lives!

Up the mountain before skiing down. I fell many times as I had difficulty to control the speed, but it was fun. I enjoy the new experience. Towards the end I improved and had better control.

While we were falling dozens of times trying to ski, there were many kids around that were skiing like experts. The control and style these kids have amaze me, even on the snowboard.

After half day of skiing, I decided to stop as the sun was very intense, the intensity is doubled as the sun reflects on the snow from the ground as well. SB and Wai Seong continued to have fun on the slope.

My 1st winter in Springs

This is the snow around our apartment. Notice the trees are 'botak'.

Here is a hardworking guy, clearing the snow on the car. Good Job!

Guess how deep the snow is? I can't even see my shoes.

Snow from the staircase to the walkway.

The road is full of snow.
