September 2006


Today went by so quickly. I forgot to take a nap at work today haha. I was really really tired in the morning so I had planned to take a nap later in the day but I got so caught up with work that I forgot. That’s a good thing. I think today, I had just the right amount of work to do. Not too little or too much. I’m kinda tired right now so I might go to bed early. I’ve decided recently that I want to start studying Japanese again. I remember that I really enjoyed it so I think it would be good if I can get back into it. I think I’m gonna write Japanese in a journal again. I did it once in a while last year but, with school and job-searching, I gradually stopped doing it. I was looking at city college classes on the internet for this area and there isn’t much as foreign languages go. There are a few Japanese classes but they are too beginner. I was also eyeing the Chinese classes but they don’t fit my schedule. I’d prefer to have the class after work than before it. It’d be cool if I could take Chinese and then surprise my mom with it haha. She’d be really surprised by it I think.

For dinner tonight, I made cashew chicken for the first time. It was pretty good. I’m bringing leftovers to lunch. I’ve been having pasta the past few days so I decided to do something different tonight. I actually like to cook. It’s weird because in the past I’m always telling my mom that I dislike it. It’s probably because she would get angry if I didn’t cook exactly the way she did.

It’s been while since did some deep thinking and wrote it down. Well, I’m not deep in thought right now but I’ll write about my day and stuff. =) Work was good today. To me, a good day is when there are no complications or problems that take me away from my immediate task and stressing me out. The highlight of work today was this long conference call I was in today (~2 hours). There was a heated discussion among several people from different parts of the world. I liked it because this was the first time I spoke so much in a conference call. I usually get nervous since so many people are listening ,and talking on the phone is not my favorite choice for communication. It was important that I said what I needed. Other than that, I was pretty much investigating/coding.

Overall, the highlight of my day was tennis. :) It’s because we played this kind of doubles tournament and my partner and I were winning all the time. I ran less than I would’ve liked to due to playing doubles, but oh well. It was so hot today that I sweat a lot anyway.
