Yet Another New Beginning

Started my new job this week. First day was okay, still under so-called "training period," which basically has nothing to do but to go through manuals and procedures-like matter. To be honest, this is the first time that I ever have such experience. Training? Wow! The new environment is great, I see Tokyo Tower every morning when I get out from subway. So close that I can as if jump and climb up. It does gives a different working mood to me. There is a shrine also a couple buildings nearby. I haven't checked it out what's like, will take a walk one of these days to find out more. Am reading a book, titled "The origin of Kansei." Kansei, which could mean complex feeling, sensibility, sensitivity, etc., human's sense which can't be analyzed rationally. I also found that there is a study called kansei engineering. The reason why English words aren't used here is partly because kansei seems to have some other meaning than sensitivity. I have been interested in this field because myself has lots of things which I can't explain well. And the reason I can't explain well doesn't seem to come from the lack of vocabulary, but more, which I am going to find out from now on. My wife started to go back to work on weekends at Singaporean restaurant as chef, so I start to spend time with only the kids again on weekends. Apparently kids prefer to stay home nowadays, may be because the house is spacious. Only once in a while they would like to go to the park or playground, but never prefer to take trains, which to them are something boring. They wold prefer to cycle the whole trip to somewhere for my shopping than to take the train. Though I want to spend more time in my sun room. I found many of the others use sun rooms like a store room, or really for drying clothes. I carpeted the room, have my books all piled up on the rags! I even also have my ibook there to surf and read and write! On my Airport, of course. It's so warm that we don't really to switch on the heater day time. I have taken some photos about the washing machine. Nothing fancy, just that there is this buttons where you can choose to use the water from the bath tub by using an extra tube. Will upload the photos when I find the time, and give more explanation. Got to go to bed now. It's almost 4 am in the morning now.
