Why, Creative, why?

Why, Creative, did you not release this earlier? If you had released this instead of the Zen Stone, or had at least advertised this product in advance, I would have definitely bought this instead of the Sansa Express! Too bad you just lost a customer because of poor marketing.

2nd last day at work

Posted 2007-06-12 (火) 午後9:12 by terra

Today was my second last day at work. It was so sweet of my colleagues to organise a lunch (company-side) and party (client-side) for me. I have really enjoyed working with all of them and hope to keep in touch. If any of you are reading this, feel free to comment and leave your contacts here too!

2007年6月の決意

Posted 2007-06-08 (金) 午前2:44 by terra

2ヶ月まえ日本語クラスをやめてからずっと勉強を怠けてしまった。とても残念なことだった。

そんな何もしない態度を続けてはいけないと思って、三日前、私は決心した。少なくとも毎週1時間や2時間の真剣な自習をした方が良いかも。最近日本語で書いてある本を読んだ数が増えてきたが、漢字に依頼しすぎたせいか、動詞や音の読み方などは全く覚えようともしなかった。こんな真似をするのは本当にヤバイな。

今年JLPT１を受けるつもりはないが、1年前日本で買ったJLPT１の完全マスター漢字本は学習にとっていい材料だと思って、二日前の水曜日は通勤時間を利用して少し動詞の勉強をした。進歩は大したことじゃないが、以前の中途半端な学び方よりずっとましでしょ。＾＾；

Moving to Sydney

Posted 2007-05-21 (月) 午前9:28 by terra

As some of you already know, I will be taking up a Master in Commerce course in Sydney that would last 18 months. The course will commence mid-July. Exciting and a bit scary at the same time. I’m quite attached to my family and have never been away from them for more than a month before. I guess it’s time I became more independent. In the last month I’ve been (re)learning how to cook (pasta, sweet sour pork, chicken with sesame sauce etc.)— a basic need for survival!

Japanese Idioms

Posted 2007-04-02 (月) 午後8:58 by terra

I’ve been hearing this phrase, 蛇の道は蛇, several times so I decided to work my lazy ass and find out what it actually means. In the end, I got led to this pretty neat Japanese idiom website: ことわざの参考書. Will slowly work my way through the site. Japanese idioms are really cool. There were a couple of nice ones used in 彩雲国物語アニメ, which I’ve unfortunately cleanly forgotten. Time to work my brain!
