I quit my last job as Production Planner recently and became an English-to-Japanese technical translator at a new company. My resignation notice was short, fewer than a month (old company requires two-month notice), since the new company was eager to have me on-board as it was going through a merger transition which would soon have a headcount ( Read more... )

I felt accomplished. That’s the feeling I went to bed with yesterday night. A holiday replacement on weekday indeed does wonder for working people. I got all my planned errands done: made a blood donation, renewed my soon-to-expire ATM card and credit cards, and sent my bike to automobile repair shop to get a thorough checkup. Also I finally ( Read more... )

I stare at the blank word document and wonder what I should write. I told myself to write more but with each passing day and year, I find myself doing the opposite. Maybe everything is in my mind, maybe most things are trivial or trite to write about. Words in speech are indeed powerful tool but they’re also double-edged swords. Now I tend to act ( Read more... )

Hail to 2016 and now only have I got the time to update some memories from 2015. With time passing, my memories are fading and I could only remember fragments of past trips here and there. Hence, for the sake of conciseness and simplicity, I shall update in brief for those “lost” memories. XD

It has been a long while since my last update, I figure I should probably make a brief account on my new job. I quit my former analyst job last December and landed myself an interpreter position at a Japanese new factory. The new job is challenging as it requires technical knowledge in Japanese manufacturing jargons as well as the process. Since I ( Read more... )

I don't have much to talk about these days. Well, it's just that my life isn't full of excitement and stories that others would wish to hear, it is rather ordinary and repetitive. Communicating and hanging out with people sometimes make it worse. I feel more out of place when I do that, so I cut down those activities and try to stay at home to do ( Read more... )

I quit from my job on 28 February and will start working from 5 of March in a new company. Remember in last post where I said I'd rejected a job offer from a headhunter? Well, I caved in to his invitation to join his company after all as he was sincere and keen to hire me. I did hear from someone that he has high expectation of employees though. I' ( Read more... )

Hello folks, how do you do? I just came back from Cambodia on Thursday. Life has been busy, I've been lazy; still, it was great to be able to travel to the Kingdom of Wonder, Cambodia. I'll just update a brief account on what I felt about Cambodia and also a little bit on recent life.

I haven't been able to write much lately as I try to squeeze meaningful activities as much as possible into my life, so that I can feel it is productive, though at the expense of writing. So far though, life has been good. I seem to finally find the balance of work and leisure.

I can see a sharp increase in Japanese cases compared to a year ago ( Read more... )
