3. **** dacing and fitness (presented by Y. Li et. al.)

7. Two ways of being run into when dating (Part B: how to be run into when dating at night)
(both presented by the special guest Y. Jiang)
The special program is going to be celebrating the birthday of ahwa, which will have been passed for 4 days, in case you don't know. Please go to kitchen and hit your head 6 times if you don't know who the heck ahwa is.
Drinks and food for refreshment will be served. Dancing pad, Karaoke machine, vidoe game console and cards will be provided. You are not required to attend but your presence will be highly recommended and appreciated.
To simply summerize:

WHAT TO DO: basiclly just come. However, you are welcome to bring any food or drink which is about to expire or any entertainment device you are not worrying about being smashed by enthusiastic guys like Roi. No dish is allowed because no dinner will be served. (The very kind host Hong and Yang seriously demand me emphasize this.)

please reply the email or call 412-xxx-xxxx if you have any questions or want to donate.

hoho, it is time for Portrait Practice.

Finally it was a sunny day after a snowy night. Both girls, Shen, Yanna and Xu, Jie are my roomies. They are from cs@pitt and are really hardworking Ph.D students, ;)
All pictures were taken with nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens.

The one below was shot a week ago in a cloudy afternoon. You may notice it was snowing then.

Today is Martin Luther King Day. Here are a few shots at the top of Schenley Park. A lot of children are playing there with their parents.

Ping Pong Shots...

Yan, Hong (in white, pen-hold grip), my roommate, does well in varied and heavily spun service, fast attack and close-table defense. Guo, Wei (in black, hand-shake grip), my friend in ece@cmu, is good at backhand stroke and forehand long drive. Both are strong ping pong players to fight with. :) We played on Saturday evening at University Center.

The first 3 were taken by Nikon D70, 50mm f/1.8 lens, iso 640
