Day before my BD... the 38th.
Thus, it is last night for being 37 years old! Hahaha.

MoonFlower and I went out for dinner... BD dinner.
Well, I thought that we would go to eat Sushi for that.
On the way to a place for sushi, I bet that I hadn’t been that sure... so changed my mind.

Went to BEEF. Big one. Hahaha.





Not American but Australian one for me. 300g or 10 ounce beef steak for me.



10 ounce is not a problem. I used to eat like much bigger one!

Good BD dinner. No alcohol, though. That’s only missing tonight. Hehehe.

Something missing in my life... hahaha.

I spent some time over dinner with old friends... those who spent time during the college years in US.
Takashi and Kazuma... along with other friends came to have dinner with me tonight.
Too bad that Amy couldn’t make it then. Surely, she was missed.

It was Chinese dinner... near the Tokyo Station.

Talked about the job, life, and other friends in common...
Seemed no end of that conversation.

I came to realize that those good friends are very positive mind and learn things so hard everyday.
I better look at myself... who is missing so many valuable things in life...

They pointed out that I should have some kind of good understanding in history or even philosophy... that’s what seems to be missing from who and how I am.

Very deep, don’t you agree?

It was fun gathering and, at the same time, surely profound moment to me.

About time to get ready for Thailand trip... yeah, at least I should collect some information about that country!



This guidebook series is very popular and famous... I ordered the Thailand edition online.
Today, the mail came in... very fast service... via Rakuten (not Amazon).

Well, haven’t started reading much about it yet... but surely will.

Maybe at the same time, I should begin contacting dear T-bird friends in that country... like Keira.
Oh I should work on the request form to submit for trip approval...

No score improvement this time... like all others! (boy...)

Out - 59
In - 54

---> 113

I was the 5th place... with NO PRIZE whatsoever... Too bad!

Lunch was good... I liked it.

1 week after perm on my hair... here is the style that I retain for now.



I know, no one really gives me any compliment... that’s fine with me.
I am okay with this... and I may even try another hair style after this... Hehehe.

What do you think?

Didn’t expect... but now it is almost realty...
I will go to Bangalore, India... for sure.

There was some discussion about possibility or needs that I go to that place.
Now, almost realty...

Timing will be right after the Golden Week. Means 2nd week of May.

What about Thailand? Yeah, that’s too... That plan is still on.

In summary, I will visit two different countries within single month? And those countries are the ones that I have never been before in my entire life!!!

Of course, they are all about business, though. (for your record!)

Who the heck...???

It is time again! Yeah, another birthday has already (!) come here.
It is my 38th. Do not remind me that I am so close to Big Four!

Somehow, I got flowers from MoonFlower.



Why flowers?
Why roses?
Why white roses?



Nice flowers... thank you!
What about the present???

Today, my BD isn’t that special. Today it was first day for the Round Table.
Yeah, typical annual event for any consulting firms...
Mine holds that session for three days from today!

Oh boy, my performance review (judgment) is done? Hahaha. Not yet.
I know, there is no promotion for me this year. Hahaha.
At least I should hope some raise!

April 1st... not just of April Fool... but the 1st day for new grad to work for a company!
Many companies hold ceremony for new grad to join the company today.

Happened to dine with executive of a major company tonight.
Talked about the impact to the supply chain of his company... but ended up talking about youngsters.

千載一遇


Yamazaki - Japan’s major distiller put ad in newspaper on April 1st every year.
It sends an encouranging message to those new grads... what a good practice.
