Last Minute Snowboarding Trip

Ming once said, "I hope this will change your negative perspective on rain: when it rains in San Francisco, it's snowing in Tahoe." Fresh snow is what every snowboarder/skier dream of, day and night. Obviously, there will be no winter sports without snow, and the more snow the better. Snowboarding was never a sport I considered trying, sure it looked cool enough. It also requires much investment, clothing, gear, time, courage... Ming has a long love affair with snowboarding for many years, it was also why I thought he was cool when we first met. And now, he got himself a psyched beginner, tumbling the mountain run behind him :)

Unfortunately because of work, we couldn't go snowboarding during thanksgiving break. But the craziness of working in a shopping mall through Black Friday finally made me snap. And out of the blue I texted him, 'Lets go.' And we went. It was a long tiring drive, but for a day, we had blue skies and white snow.

Last year was my first season, everyday after we finish, I would be black and blue all over. Last Sunday though, I came home totally unscathed except for a couple of sore limbs. I'm glad the hard work last year paid off, and looking forward to the new season with utmost excitement!

And... since this is a short update about my life, allow me to complain about one thing, just this one thing. Why is the San francisco public transport soooooooo unreliable? When half the city depends on this system, how can it be late/early/full/not appearing at all?! I'm either super early to work or five minutes late. Stuck in the underground because of traffic, slow traffic in an underground train? I didn't know this concept can exist! Last time I was late because someone died in the muni tracks, but guy or no guy, I can still be late because of various muni malfunctions. Just ranting, yes, I should just grow up and leave the house earlier so I wouldn't need to stress out if there's a delay in traffic... Haha, good luck with that, I'll just keep on ranting about it :)
