It's blogging time again


Life in 2008 has started quietly and busily ..... the new job has been challenging and different after a long while. I have been learning and adapting to the new job environment, and the experience, so far, has been enriching, despite the generally longer hours. That explains the long absence from blogging. It may be physically tired, but mentally, I am feeling good and 元気 (genki). Colleagues around me are friendly and positive, and that's good too.

Despite in a Ninhon environment, I have not been practising my Japanese language due to timing constraints, but I hope to start again. This is one of my resolutions this year, though there aren't any serious ones this year, really. I have only want to be put in my best in life and work this year.

Well, this few months, while I am grounded due to job probation and the longer working hours, I have also realised that I tend to spend more on myself. It is worth it, I think. If spending money can help you to uplift your spirit, it is worth it, so is spending money to save time and reduce inconvenience. At last, I think I am beginning to pamper myself.

While the economic situation may not be good for the coming months, I feel that this is not going to impact my spirits :) I believe it will go away some day this year or so. So let's be positive on that.

Blogging today may not have a particular subject, just my thoughts all over.....

May tomorrow be a good day too, and yes, it is Friday again!

New Year, New Wishes, New Hopes.....


It is 2008 today! We are one year older naturally. There are new resolutions, new hopes and we should all feel recharged and refresh.

Unlike the usual Christmas celebrations that were merrily party-ing with friends gathering, I spent my new year and the eve of new year fairly simple. Eve was a movie-cum-supper gathering with friends, while new year was a desperate-housewives-cum-jogging-cum simple dinner sesson. Now at this juncture, I just feel relaxed and good and prepared for the coming challenges ahead :)

寂しい?ちょおと neh, since G-kun, Melodii and D-chan are all having new year nabe dinner together at Tokyo tonight. Well, I will join them next year and I certainly hope that they have a good trip. If you folks are reading this, gambarimasho neh!

As for my work, I have not really commenced on the real challenges, but I felt that I am able to adapt to it, and like it, since this is something I have always like to do. So for that, I am looking forward to conquering the challenges neh :)

Yes, it will be a new year with new hopes, challenges, and most importantly, we all know, it is a good one!
