The NTHU EE/CS alumni had a picnic at Ortega Park in Sunnyvale. The weather was surprisingly good, sunny with very light wind. The alumni association here is just like the clubs in NTHU, lots of population but not easy to make anything happen. We have an annually EE/CS picnic, and an annually Mei-Chu Game just like in Taiwan. The two activities are pretty much the limits of what we can attract enough attention here.

This year's picnic, we had a special guest - the NTHU chancellor, Dr. Chen. We also used this opportunity to celebrate our first Mei-Chi Game victory over 5 years. :P It was quite fun and interesting. Since this weekend was also the Easter weekend, the association also prepared the egg hunt for the kids.

Naturally, I took Abby with me. Abby enjoyed being the pack-leader since most of the kids there are younger than her. Before I knew, she had gathered 4 and 5 followers for her to boss around. I wondered whether it was because of Abby, or because of the soccer ball and tennis ball that we brought.  It's amazing how much kids can play with simply a ball or two.
