Hey! It's already March ! Three months ago, it's still 2006, now we have already stepped in the third month of the year of 2007, there are 3 more quarters to go. There are a lot of meanings for March, it may means somebody's anniversary, it is the end of fiscal year (-.- yes, it is our fiscal year, tonnes of work to do, good that I am not accounting ppl!), it is the wedding month of my friend, and most of all, it is the BIRTHDAY month of my dearest father!!! What are we going to do? Too bad that I will be going to lesson in the afternoon that day, while my dad is going to have night class, maybe we'll have a nice lunch together in a place where we can have good food and enjoy the time! Haa, we have already planned the birthday gift, yet, still no time to buy.
When we were small, whenever we gave birthday gifts to dad, he'd buy us back nice toys and accessories. Those are the memorable and happy childhood! Now, it means more to me, it is a happy day of course, but it means my dearest parents are getting older. I promise myself I would spend more time with my family and be more patient and considerate. That's in my wish list at the beginning of the year, take my words!
Recently there are great changes in my company. My boss who is in charge of the asia pacific region is leaving the company. The impact to the company is greater than it can be expected. And most of all, as I am directly reporting to him, all the projects on hand are affected somehow. Even though, I was very much calm when my boss and the senior manager informed me about this news in an arranged occassion. Of course there are other reasons for my reaction, however, to a certain extent, I think I am a little bit too cold to people's come and go. There are always variables in life, I believe the changes we face now don't imply any negative impact, it is only a change that we need to face and adjust ourselves. I see this as challenge and I am quite curious to know how the story would go. Afterall, the eternal truth on earth is the ever changing fact! I believe my boss has made the best choice for himself if he could give up a career which he's spent more than 20 years! I am happy for him! I think the only bad thing for me is that my workload is increasing for this changeover and I hope this can be overcome very soon!
The nicest thing happen when you are in the most difficult time and so does the worst and evil things! Once the news of my boss' departure land over all the affiliate offices, ppl start to come over here and hope to get a piece of the cake for their own land. In the meeting with the headquarter management, we can see the solemn faces of the attendants, each with a golden agenda in mind. It's lucky that my senior manager is next to me to back me up while I am also next to her to assure her soul a bit. Fortunately, nothing critical has happened but we need to move fast to solidify the business. Hope things work out fine!
Critical March!
My japanese class restarted this month. I am going to attend the third class this saturday. I think it's a nice experience to go back to the lecture again and one thing particularly amuse me is the classroom. Since going to university, I seldom come across a traditionally laid classroom with desks and chairs. No kidding! I really hate those kinda chairs with the foldable little tiny board to serve the purposes of being a 'desk'! I love my japanese school now as I can write on the desk and even put my pencil case in the drawer! How silly I am. Somehow, I find the syllabus a little bit easy for me, hope the teacher can increase the teaching pace so that I can learn more. I don't feel stuffed after each lesson. But it's a good training to my listening. あたしは日本語がすきでたまらない！たとえ難しくても諦めない！
