THE LAST TIME TO SEE 3 DIGITS



That's right ! only 100 days left... seem so far, yet so close! last spin class is tomorrow, follow by a team social, and dinner with a TNT teammate to support her effort! Let's all charge this weekend to whatever we want to do!

if you want to understand what result is manifested in the future, look at the cause that exist in the present - Nichiren Daishonin

P.S. Which is a better idea for fundraising event?

1. Casino Night
2. Trivia Night
3. Wii Sports Tournament

Let me know what you guys think...

IT'S COMING...



Time is going really fast, and currently I don't think I'm doing very well with both fundraising and training for Tahoe. For one thing, the fundraising is a huge sum of money, and frankly I don't have the chunk of money to cough up if I can't raise the funds. Let's do some simple math here:

• 102 days left and I have to raise $4,355 more
• means I have to raise roughly $43 per day
• that's about $300 per week
• $1,200 per month

So let's say I'll do Bake Sale again this year. A bag of Chocolate Chip Cookies was selling for $15 per bag. That means:

• 3 bags per day = $45
• 20 bags per week = $300
• 80 bags per month = $1,200

Wow that's a lot of cookies! I should switch my occupation as a baker instead...

Second item I am worry about: the Tahoe ride is much harder than the Montauk ride. There are many many slopes going up and also in high altitude. I am actually freakin' out about climbing those hills. But the view will be gorgeous! I think I'm just freakin' out for no reason, because by the end of the training season I will be so ready for it and it should be a piece of cake! But until then, HELP!

Any ideas for fundraising? hmmmm...

Meanwhile, we got some donation!

• Mr. Andrew - [my newest co-worker who lost your bet =) but people will thank you for this $$]
• Ms. Akiko - [my fellow RadioLab geek! love ya and thank yoooooooou]
  

BUSY BUM OR LAZY BUM

I must admit, I have not been too proactive lately. I went to spin class, but didn't update on what's going on. Do you even know I started training? Not if I told you. Are people donating, and have I thank them yet? Not in the public. I apologize for being so out of the loop. One more weekend! I will be free from another good cause! Chinese New Year Meeting this weekend! See flyer below.

So yes, seriously I have been busy, and not lazy for once! So I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the first 3 people that started the donation!

• Yin Low - [MY BRO!!!!]
• Eva Chien - [My highly recommended acupuncturist]
• Sandra Lloyd - [my fellow FDC sister!]

Thank you 3 to start / kick-off this great cause, and definitely supporting me with this bike ride. Have I mentioned that I am extremely nervous about it. All these uphills! What if my thighs let me down and tremble and I roll backward?! Help!!

Just as last year, I welcome donation amount equals to beer/breakfast/lunch/dinner. No amount is too small! It's all from the heart! Trust me you guys have the easier part. Riding up hill and keep that momentum is hard!

IT IS DEFINITELY WINTER

Plow away~~~



Ice cold!



Poor bike

It's winter here alright. The most snow and bitter winter I have had for the past years. It practically snowed every week! I never thought I'll ever get bitter about winter, but man this brings me down!

But wait! I have no time to be feeling down! Cos I got a bigger mission! Got a full buffet plate in front of me!
