むずかしいね。:

- 私の友達が10月に結婚する。親友がちょっとご立腹。それは彼女の彼氏(?)が結婚式に招待されなかったから。

- 招待する側も悩んだんだろうなぁ。でもこれは仕方ないかも。親友カップルはいろいろ問題があって、最近やっと復活したばかり。友達はまだ彼として認識していないんだな。

- そんなこんなで、やっぱり結婚式に誰を呼ぼうか、、、っていうのは、とってもSensitive。

- ところで!そういえば、私も招待されてへんやん!!

- あんなに頑張ってお休みを早々に押さえていた自分が悲しい。。死に物狂いやったのに~

- こうなったら、この際、せっかくやから札幌に帰ったろか。もしくはLASICやったろか。


- 少なからず、こうやって周りの大事な人々を翻弄してしまう日本の結婚式。やっぱり私にはできない気がする。。

足に難あり:

- 4月、ダイビングで足を思い切りぶつけて、打撲。同時に爪も負傷。(正確にはダイビングの帰りの船でつまずいた)

- 5月、会社の観にマラソンで、痛んでいた爪をさらに傷める。

- 6月、地下鉄の駅のエスカレーターで派手につまづき、ひざを負傷。今も3本線がくっきり残る。

- 7月、ネイルサロンの乱暴なファイリングで痛んでいた爪がもろくなる。ついに爪が取れ始める。

- 8月、おばあちゃんの庭で20箇所くらい蚊に刺される。その後大きく腫れて、抗生物質の投与を受ける。もう少しひどくなっていれば、入院になっていたかも。香港出張初日、発熱。

Cable Channel and Internet unabled:

- on Thursday night after I came came home, I realized that the cable modem was totally damaged. Cable channel was completely out of reach, and the internet was also broken down.

- it was 3am, but I called the cutomer care.

- They sent me an onsite help staff, and the cable modem was completely replaced with a new version.

- Very good. Now I can work home.... again...

- Severlal attempts already to try to keep my daily thoughts somewhere... let's see if I can sustain this one...

- 本当はダイビングに行きたいけど、心も身体もやっぱり余裕のない時期。


Dont forget:

- 次のダイビングの前に、もうひとつOctopusを付けてもらうこと。




- 嵐のような8月をまず書き留めておこう。


Work:

- plan started... 1st wk - plan prelim talk in Singapore & Tokyo, 2nd wk - plan prelim talk in HK.

- Very tense for all meetings with manager. But it was a compliment when they say the process/explanation was clear!

- The only weekend in Tokyo was very busy - had 2 big submission due on Monday and needed to work...

- My remote access has got some problems... tried till 3am in vain. Gave up my leave and ended up working in tokyo office on Monday.

- Imperial Hotel (Tokyo) was located convenient, but the room was quite old. Mandarin Oriental - Fabulous!! My room was upgraded to Suite. Very comfortable.


Personal:

- Managed to see Liz, Mariko during weekday nights in Tokyo. Their birthday is in Aug.

- Singapore - Tokyo - Osaka - Sapporo - Tokyo - Osaka - HK - Singapore

- Quite confusing itianary... difficult to explain to tell this to grandma.

- Friday night, flew in Osaka, only reached there past midnight. Grandma was waiting for me..

- Saturday afternoon, flew in Sapporo. Dad came to pick me up. Silver WISH is quite cute. Went shopping & onsen.

- Sunday, work, movie & dinner. Dad is concentrating on transferring data from VHS to HDD/DVD.

- quite fun to my child days in VHS. was impressed that dad actually took a lot of moments... but not sure I cant play the DVD that he gave me. (Later on yota told me that it was probably because of missing one step "finalize."

- Got 20+ mosquito bites at Hagoromo backyard. Believe they were just ordinary bites, but probably because of my tireness (ie stress, not enough sleep), they swell really really badly.

- I visited a clinic in Kansai airport. Doctor told me I could be admitted to hospital if this continues. I was under medication for anti-bacteria treatment. Got fever on first night in HK.
