Golden Week

Hi!!!
How are you doing??

It has been 2 months since I started working in new company. I got the first salary so I'm not broken now.

Do you know what  "Golden Week " means? Japanese people have several national holidays from the end of April to the beginning of May. Lots of Japanese usually look forward to this term and travel somewhere although they get a super heavy traffic and there are too many people in famous place.
I didn't travel this time however I had a party everyday. BBQ party, special expensive & delicious beef stake and champagne party and just drinking party.
These pics are special expensive & delicious beef stake and champagne party.


 
3 big bottles of beer, many cans of beer, 1 bottle of champagne and 4 bottle of wine for 3 people....We killed them all.


By the way, somebody called me a few weeks ago. I couldn't pick it up and he leave message only "Call me!!". He didn't record his name. If you called me or you know who called me, please let me know!!

Dustin came to Tokyo!!

Dustin, One of my best friends I met in Vancouver, came to Tokyo.
We used to live in the same house for a while in Vancouver and study in the same school.



I saw him on last Friday with Ayaka, who is our school mate in Vancouver, and the other Dustin's friends.
At that time, unfortunately, I was busy a little bit because of my new job. We were supposed to see around 7 pm at the Shibuya station. I really looked forward to seeing him again. But I had to work until 10 pm. I'm so sorry...
If I had had enough time and drunk with him, how great it was!!!

Good News

Hello~
I've never written any articles for long time.
So I don't know how many friends still check my blog. haha

Today, I have a good news.
This is gonna be a long article.

I got a new job!!!

I'd looked for it for 2 months.
Finally, I got it even though the salary is not as good as before.

I think it's gonna be very good job cuz I have 3 reasons.

First one is that a new job concerns about IT (Information Technology) so I think that I can use my skill I've stored.

Next is that I'm gonna work as a IT consultant, not as a system engineer.
I have to learn about my customer's business method or scheme.
Also, I have to get wider knowledge than before cuz I need to construct a total system.
I made a part of a big system before so I didn't need wide knowledge. I needed deep and narrow one.
So I can study new knowledge!!

Last one is that the company I'm gonna belong is a big foreign-affiliated consulting company so I have a chance to speak English for business!!!
Even though I don't have enough confidence to do that, I believe I can do that in the future.
While we don't try something, we won't get anything.

In order to get my new job going smoothly, I thought I needed to prepare something.
Now, I started studying about Database in order to let my knowledge more widely.
Database is a very important factor to construct a big system.
Also, I'm studying about the finacial company's business method such as banks, insurance companies and stock brokerage companies.

Anyway, I'm doing very well.
My new job is gonna be very hard.
But I can brush up my skills and enjoy working!!

Nick came to Japan!!

Nick dropped in on Japan on the way to Korea.

I waited him for 2 hours cuz the airplain was delayed.
So I bought a Korean book  to study.

Finallly, I picked him up at arrival zone and headed to his sister's apartment.

We spent 2 hours to get to Nick's sister's apartment cuz we were caught in a heavy traffic and I drove wrong way...

We had Korean food cooked by his sister.

The Korean food was really delicious, much better than I ate in Vancouver.

I had great time with them even though I couldn't drink any alcohol cuz I had to drive a car afterward.
We talked a lot in English, Korea and Japanese.
Nick and I talked about several parties in Vancouver, common friends and more.
He told me that he was in a kind of trouble.
But I believe he can solve it.

I was suprised that Nick's brother-in-law could speak Japanese very well. His Japanese was almost the same as natives.

We drank and talked until 4 am.

I miss him now, but I think we can see each other soon.
Next time is my turn. I'm gonna visit Korea next summer hopefully.
I'm gonna study about Korean as well as English!!!

Roppongi

I'm suffering from muscular pain because of jogging.

I drank with my senior ex-coworker in Roppongi.

He gave lots of advices to me.
He told me that the most important thing for me was making the plan of business in the future.
His goal was setting up a IT company and making people happy with his internet tools.
Actually, my goal is building my own house with music studio.
That's it.
As you know, it's not the plan of business.
Do you have any ideal jobs?
what kind of jobs do you wanna get?
I don't have any idea.
I don't dislike my ex-job.
It was a rewarding job.
But I don't feel it's my ideal one.
Even I have several things that I wanna do, I can't make money with them such as music or snowboarding.

According to him, I suit for a sales man cuz I have the ability that I can let people believe me.
What do you think?
I don't think so...

After drinking, we missed the final subway...
I had to walk for about a hour.

Anyway, I'm gonna make up my mind in this year and start my new life next year.
