Want to have a home on the internet?

You can apply for a free internet home at Geocities. Instead of only names and addresses, put your pictures on, and your parents', your kids', your friends', your enemies', or whoever you thought of the most in high school.
Ski trip report coming soon ...

Last weekend, Zhao Si Qing, Huang Zheng and Lao Fat all came to the Bay Area, along with Lao Tai, Liu Gou, Amaos', Wang Ji Jun of the Class of 82's, and some friends went to Lake Tahoe for a wonderful ski trip. The high point of the trip was when Lao Fat went to the steepest cliff(over 90 degree) of Northern California and glided down in a smooth and beautiful performance. Pictures coming to the web soon ...
Jia Heng

All of us were impressed by Jia Heng's wit in high school. After that many years, we kind of forgot how witty he was. But in a dinner gathering last week, not only did he refresh our memory, he also showed us there are ways to improve no matter where we are. Thank you, Jia Heng!
Milestone

From Jia Heng:

I transfered to Intel (SHG) with Derek Huang's introduction in Oct and work here as an account manager (formally called SSTM - Strategic Software Technology Manager). However, I stay single and live together with my parents at the same original place as I did during EFZ time.

I'd like to say hello to all you guys in the States or other somewhere around the world and am here waiting for new contact with you after such a long period of time losing.

I'm also coming the States in late Jan for IA conference but may have different schedule from Derek's. This is my first time going abroad and you guys staying in the States would be a great help.

My e-mail address is : Sam_Jia@ccm.fm.intel.com
