Dark side of the moon

Dark side of the moon, I hope we never meet again.
But dark side of the moon, you’ve become an unlikely friend.
Because of you
My children’s laughter seems even sweeter
My love’s smile touches my heart like the first time we met;
I know the four-leaf clover is within arms reach,
If I can just search a little longer.
I hug a little tighter, and never want to stop
Things I used to dread
Lift me up instead.
Life is sweeter, living nearer
The dark side of the moon.

Valentine's Day


Today's rainy. The early morning weather forecast showed that the whole country (I mean Japan, or it's better to say the whole island) is rainy. No plans for tonight, since my dearly beloved is nearly 1000kms away across the sea. I guess I'll go back home early. And finish the 2nd charpter of "Things that make us smart".

Stepping out of the HoneyMoon

Most of us are stepping out of the honey moon period.
We start to complain on everything we see in life, "Chick-like puppy","Weired Girls"...Anything moving...
Maybe some Rediculous dull games would help us to cheer up.

My Broken Cup...

Taking a picture of myself everyday

to trace the track of time...

After THE Japanese Exam

We had a pretty easy but somehow really formal Japanese exam today.
Gotta take a break for a little while. Put that Japanese book aside and run some games with guys here..:)
Anticipating for the coming 3 day holiday. I've been in the sleepy state for too long a time, need more bedtime.....

Valentine's coming...

It's weired that in Japan here only girls send out chocolates on the day. And women even send chocolate (which they call "GiLi") to male colleagues. It's lucky to be a MALE Japanese.

Japanese have another White Valentine on March 14th when Boys gotta send something back to the girls.

I guest I'll just chow a bite of the cheapest Meji Chocolate bar in my dorm alone and browsing through the photo folder and think about those good old days back at home.

...

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting

I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep paying
I'm not ready to make nice

Monolog

I had this crazy idea the other day after reading in the book "10 Simple Secrets of the world's greate business communicators" that Rudy Giuliani started to prepare his annual State of the City address FIVE months early.
So I just put on my suit every night after shower and give a monk presentation in front of my minor just merely summarizing what did I learnt during the day-time.
Sometimes it's damn hard to tell what did i do.
...Today? 4 trips to the toilet, and figuring out how many ways people might call that place.

How many ways can you name it?


Just came back from the toilet.
Stared at the sign for 10 seconds, it reads: "Lavatory".
How many ways can you name it?
Toilet, Washroom, Restroom, Lavatory, Latrine or not very acurate Bathroom...
Anyway it seems to be a really important place to all of us! Can you find anything else that has 6 names...?

Shit!!

I knocked down my morning coffee.
It was all over the place, keyboard, monitor,mouse,paper.
All of the dirty words that I learn come to me.
"Sh*t,F*ck...."
The best things of my life became a total mess all at a sudden.

Got to go buy a can of coffee in the vending machine down the aisle.

Let Go

Feeling Blue.

Got the call from a Japanese English Trarning school this morning asking me if I'm interested in being a part-time English Instructor. I would not hesitate to take the chance back in China, but I have to give it up now because of my visa and the contract between me and FujiXerox. So a bit 残念 but 大丈夫! Since that not what I really want.

Leaving the Honey moon period.
Start to feel pressure. Gotta give a research update presentation tomorrow. Wish me good luck. Though my OJT told me that's just a review among 3 people: Me, Him and our mgr. But I would like to make it perfect and take this chance as a rehersal of the mid-term and final big ones.
So I have to stay up for a bit longer tonight.

I just can't wake up

After 8 hours sleeping, I still can't wake up.
Legs still aching, I dragged by body into the bathroom.
A morning shower reliefed me, much better now.
Get on first gear, and make today a wonderful day.
