Extended Weekend is over...
Hi folks! How's it going for you?
Just finished 3-day weekend... I am done with a movie.
Though, my "weekend" practically started in the afternoon of the 3rd today (today).
Lots of work... all preparation for business trip starting tomorrow.
Pity on me!
At least MoonFlower prepared my favorite for breakfast.
I love it! Good stuff... you know, French toast is my all time favorite!
When I was in school, whenever had a chance / time, I asked cook in the cafeteria to fix it.
Including Thunderbird's cafeteria. Hahaha.
So I worked... finished some research in the large bookstore near Tokyo station.
Well, I didn't finish this weekend without any entertainment.
Thus, MoonFlower and I went out for a movie.
I even picked up a new shirt while waiting for the movie time.
Saw brand new Japanese movie called "Unfair - the Answer." Police detective story... a female officer searching the evidence and proof for police's corruption and money laundering.
Very complex story... you cannot trust anyone in this movie. Hahaha.
Lots of surprises in the story... one after another!

All day long... I worked... progressed well? Hahaha... I wish!
Though, I certainly worked on the PPT slides until 9pm or so.
I then asked MoonFlower to dine out tonight. Felt like some drinks were absolutely needed to my body!
I just needed to shake this off... you know EXACTLY what I mean.
Had 3 glass wine for myself and obviously drank more than I could.
Thus, we came home straight and I went to bed... right away!
Another half of work will be there for me tomorrow... I will hang in there!

Recruiting?

Somehow people are switching jobs now.
I have two cases around myself.
One - my colleague quitting my consulting firm today.
Nothing new that consultants do quite in the "Up or Out" nature.
My firm doesn't practice that thoroughly... much. But it is still in effect.
He is much more experienced than am and I feel bad that we let him go.
He already secures new job starting next month. Good luck!
All this really makes me think about my own future.
Working in the consulting business means that there will be an end... the day I have to leave the firm for good. This is the nature I live in and I did select so. Hahaha.
Working for 5 years as consultant... maybe time to think rather than prepare about the next step??? I should carefully observe what is going on around and that kind of environment does create either following or against wind for me.
Meanwhile, I do admit that I have no readiness for next step at all.
Assessment how secure my current position in this firm is quite necessary.
You'll never know what to expect next... Particularly such a fast-pace moving industry.
Agree?

Business Trip to Osaka
Japan's proud... Bullet Train. Latest N700 series is my ride for Osaka today!
Long nose... cannot fit into the frame!
Better take a video instead, huh...
Bento or lunch box... my only fun during the day... but I chose very plain one.
Do better job next time.
Next time... another Osaka trip is already scheduled for next week.
Oh boy, getting busier!
Meaning $$$? Hope so.
Usual "Sawa" Noodle Shop after all.
September special. Spicy noodle on large flat plate.
Lots of garlic... I should've asked Master before order. Too late.
Though, it was GREAT! Recommended.
Stopped by a bar for a couple of drinks...
While talking to bartender over the counter, I displaced the arm of eye frame... then couldn't fix it back under dim light of the bar.
Came home with pieces of eye frame a part... and fixed it by the walkthrough of this:
Youtube rocks!

Fixable or Not?
My briefcase is back!
So it must be repaired, right? Hahaha, quite not.
I was actually given new one today!
That's actually better, right? Surely.
This must be improved design. Same thing but I do not think that the same part won't be issue anymore because those leather seems glued. Hope that won't happen again.
Another thing I got for today is CD... the Single of pop group called "AKB48."
This group is surely the best known and most popular in the Japanese pop music.
"Flying Get" is the latest release.
I know, "Flying Get" doesn't really make sense and not even quite English. Hahaha.
This should be translated like:
"Jump the gun to grab your love.*
Another thing received... My god so many gifts?
In the middle, "Yu Ri Ka" along with her birthday July 19th, 2011.
Friend's baby girl... I received the gift in return.
This wrapping is quite cute! So I took a picture.
Also received a call from my boss with some news... BAD ONE.
That was not fixable like bag... Too late to do anything. Hmmm.
I am quite disappointed about some colleague is taking another course rather than one we all going together. I know, such Plan B is valid...
Better shake it off... be bygones.
