Valentine Chocolate

The end of the semester is getting near, which mean there a lot of report to submit and test to take, and also thesis defense if you about to graduate. So why everyone seems to still have time to prepare valentine chocolate?

Well I'm not complaining at all. Specially when my professor's wife gave us chocolate cake for three consecutive days ("she's doing experiment with the amount of chocolate in the cake", my professor said), Seada put chocolate in my mailbox, and I found another chocolate on my desk :-). But how come, after all of these chocolates, I still couldn't gain weight?

Koukan Nikki

The second book of my koukan nikki with Makii... (the first was so thin that it finished quickly :-) )

Ein Deutscher Engel

Received season greeting from Anette with cool picture, so I post it here...
Come to think of it, I got along well with her after she knew that I keep some Alphaville songs in my mp3 player... at that time, she didn't even know that they're german group...

Every Cloud has Silver Lining...

I was planning to go to Tokyo Tower on the new year eve, and due to my special ability to get lost :-), I mistook the street on my way there. Finally I was able to reach the tower, but I didn't stay long there, since it was cold and there were couples around while I'm on my own... :-) Anyway, on my way of getting lost :-), I accidentally went to Aoyama doori, and I found Haagen-dazs store there. Well, it was a good place to rest and try to reroute again my way...

Sushi Festa

After finishing my Ramadhan this year, Yanagita, Konishi, and Kurata invited me to have a dinner outside, in an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. It was no ordinary restaurant, because if you don't reserve beforehand you can't dine there (Yanagita always knows special places to eat :-) ). And after eat my first sushi there, I quickly know why the place is special - the piece of sushi is half the normal one, but it really delicious...

When we had to pay the bill (different from most of the all-you-can-eat restaurant where you have to pay beforehand, we pay after we finished here), Kurata just dragged me outside and let Yanagita and Konishi paid. He said that this was a party for me for finishing Ramadhan so they treated me that night... really touching, specially when it came from non-moslem like them...

Great News for Ozoners

Congratulation for Octo for the birth of his daughter!!!! (and the second of the Ozoners' heir...) Hope Ghania will grow healthy and inherited not only the great trait of her parents, but also those of her fabulous uncles and aunties here :-)
Additional fact about Octo, he once gulped (a bit) of phenol solution while doing ozoners experiment. So, if any of you out there (intentionally or not) happened to have an experience of drinking phenol (as if plenty who like to have phenol as their softdrink :-) ), don't worry, you still have the chance to have offspring :-)

Kitten Home Stay

My neighbor needed to go out of town for a while, and they asked whether I would like to take care of their kitten for a night. It's been years that I didn't live with cats, so I quickly receive the offer.
Well, the kitten was cute, and as a normal kitten would do, it sniffed curious around my room, and also followed me wherever I go. Anyway, there's no big accident during the kitten stay, and I'm glad that I can return her save and sound the next morning....
