Day 140~Birth of miracle~

That was a great day cause some years ago a true miracle happened - my sister was born)))
Of course my mom annoyed me a lot on skype and I got to see my sis only for some mere minutes... but I got to talk with dad...
C2 canceled our hanging out due to his secret date, so in the eve I went and bought a small cake for my sis and ate it for her well-being!

Day 138~oriental vs occidental~

Surprisingly I am in a good mood today... there is nothing good about the current state of my affairs, but I just feel good, for no reason XDчитать дальше
finally I can say that I am smiling for no reason and which I did (but that's an evil bitch was talking in me and I will explain later on)
Work is slow and lazy (and there I was talking all about doing a great job in order to grab a chance to come back to rbjp to work as an option). Lunch was nice and careless. KY asked for the ride from NY to Takasaki tomorrow (he is going to Australia for a week on business trip) and I decided that it's perfect for me , cause tomorrow I am meeting the new girl in CTG - MK. I think I would be able to tell more about her later on (especially after tomorrow, but for now I can say that she is 28, has studied and worked in US for sometime, does not like coffee, her dad is tennis coach, she ahs an American bf, but it's not working well for her. and I learnt it all not from her , but form C2, who seems to have her as his prime target))) before Golden week MK asked me whether I want to come to Takaski for fun, and of course I would! therefore this Saturday no matter how crappy the weather might be (and I hope not that bad) I am going to Takasaki. IM is left alone on the weekend an wanted to come as well, but once again the evil bitch in me says that I do not want her company!!!
and about the evil bitch in general.... During the lunch, Mk has taken a sit near mine and then C2 has taken my sit, therefore I had to go all the way around the table to sit near KY. I was enjoying the view of C2 caring about MK... as usual.. that was "kind of cute"... so there I was sitting and smiling, especially when Im was being slow and people were explaining for the 100th time the obvious things... and then KY asked me why I am laughing /smiling... seriously he was asking for it XD "no reason))) absolutely no reason)))) somebody told me that not everything has a reason in this life"... I am sorry but I can be a petty bitch at times.. but knowing that Japanese sometimes are slow when it comes to sarcasm, I am not sure that he got the point. anyways he said that smth like "finally! that;s good that u r smiling for no reason!"... there was also a discussion about me being crazy and going for a walk in the rain and that I could have died if lighting hit me (but I do not remember any lighting during my walk and it is a factory, so I am sure there is some protection system, because even regular houses would have it)...
Anyway while I was getting my ice cream the main party has left and only Mk was waiting for me and of course C2. Others went far ahead , so the three of us enjoyed the walk on our own...
The afternoon was kind of slow and lazy mostly with me trying to fight back sleepiness)...

I ended up sitting in the office for one additional hour till MK and C2 finish all their tasks so that we can go golfing.
MK was wearing skirt and high heels, but we persuaded her that that it is exactly the best golf outfit ever. KY was packing at home and did not want to come, but C2 made him come. From work we went to supermarket first. MK was driving her dad's minivan - typical family car and as I was sitting in the back sit I started acting as a little kid "mommy, daddy, where are we going for fun?" But we couldn't go for fun far as I have left my wallet at work =_=
for the first time... so I had to go back to the office. jap manager and bboss were still there and made fun of me)
Golfing itself was fun) I still suck at it,but does it really matter?
MK was really good, despite wearing high heels. We were noisy and other players probably were angry with us except for one guy - Hayashi-san, who is a friend of SJ and plays basketball together with SJ and C2 on Mondays He was nice and even gave us some tips on how to play golf. Maybe guys were kind of serious about doing a good job, but for me it was more like - just hit the ball.. and I must say the less effort I inputted into my swings the better the result was)
I guess I should treat my life the same way and just go with the flow...

Day 137 ~workshop&nomikai~

when I came to the office some of the CTG3 people were already there and some minutes later SY came as well.
читать дальшеAnd starting 10 am we had the workshop dedicated to BP13 - "BP13 kick-off "
NY gave a lecture about intercultural differences - Confucius's and Socrates' way of teaching, high and low context... well, I guess people who came in contact with Japanese culture know pretty well, that when u hear "chotto muzukashii" as a reply to a request, you can forget about it, cause Japanese are just to polite to say "no" or "it's impossible"...
we could hardly survive till lunch, cause the schedule topic was awfully boring XD After lunch everyone went back to office and only crazy ua gaijin went for a walk around the factory in the rain with the ice cream. I must say I really enjoyed the walk) C2 and SY were busy chatting, so I did not intrude on their conversation.
the second part of the workshop was more or less ok. jp manager went over ppt slides trying to explain it (key word is trying, cause I doubt he has a clear understating of it).
But the very last part was a challenge - to come up with the open topics. the idea was to find an open issue and then the person who can solve it... of course everyone pointed out topics from their areas and ten minutes later they were appointed as the responsible person to handle the topic... it was like this little show of grade-schoolers... and I got this feeling of "who is on duty today? - I am on duty today?"...
finally the workshop was over... and after all ctg3 left we were going for nomikai. I was sitting across the bboss and next to c2. bboss was paying much attention to c2 and how great he was and how they would appreciate if he stays longer. I knew that I need to find a moment to speak up for myself and so I did. I am not sure if bboss really meant it, but he brought up also SY as an example, that when they see that a person is good they would pull that person to jp to work, which is great, if true... therefore I do need to work harder...
nomikai ended around 9pm... c2 , me and bboss walked to the hotel where bboss was staying, and then the two of us headed home... or not.. it was too early to go home so we went to 7/11 instead) got some beer, went to restroom and headed to the riverside. we talked a lot... C2 told me very private info therefore I am skipping that part, because I do not find appropriate to share it. the interesting part was him asking me about my trip with KY. C2 thinks that Ky likes me and he was expecting smth to happen during the trip. But as u know it was not the case... but I think now I have an ally in the field XD however I am not sure that I want one...
I got home around 11pm and went to bed in a very good mood.

Day 136 ~temochiizaiko~

During the day I was busy with the inventories topic. I am done waiting for others to prepare some data for me, so I am doing it on my own and then just showing the result, explaining how I did and confirming that I was on the right track.
I really love it when u have 5 files on the same topic and numbers do not match! then jap guys would smile and laugh and say that deviation is not that big (just from 1 to 5 mJPY) and that's ok... but the topic is about the scrap of this 1-5mJPY worth inventories.. which means additional loss of 1~5mJPY... of course when the total is more than 600mJPY, 5mJPY is nothing much, but still.. we can not report to Germany every time a different number...
During the lunch boss joined our table so we had exactly 9 people sitting there.
IN the eve I was finally able to chat with CM on skype) I have no idea what I am to do when she leaves... I am so used to our silly email exchange. and I really really need it when I am at work and everyone is so gloomy...

Day 135 ~round table~

Now our round table (which is actually triangle) is basically full) there are 9 sits and 8 are occupied. Our wakamono group is s missing Naveen, but I doubt he is ever gonna join us for lunch or at least anytime soon.
Lunch was light in spirit and heavy with food (but very tasty))). We laughed and chatted about so many things. SJ, KY and C2 went for the stretch and the rest of us went for a walk) I mostly spoke with newly married NY. He is so happy now))) And that makes my mood better as well.
After the trip and a bit more thinking I am even more persuaded that I am not a gf material and definitely not a marrying type XD Therefore I am looking forward to my life with cats)))
Anyways after lunch one colleague told me that I lost my Bosch ID in Kumamoto... O_o
Seriously??? I had no idea about it. I did notice that it was missing from the purse but I thought I left it at home in Tm and as right now my room is kind of mess I never even looked for it. luckily (or not) somebody found it and brought to police. so now they will first send me a photo of the id and if I confirm that it is mine , only then police will send me the actual id. and of course I would have to pay for all the expenses.. have no idea how much it will cost me, but ok.. my mistake...

Day 134 ~surprise-surprise~

it is so weird to be back in the office... seriously... so weird...
I came in a bit late and saw that I had already received an email with assignment at 9-09 from CTG3 boss..
The assignment kept me busy most of the day (but I wish I could have more work to do)))
Lunch was busy with exchanging omiyage (basically from me to everyone) and chatting about Golden week.
in the eve NY arrived in the office around 6pm and announced that the day before he got married! And Sunday was his birthday as well (I hope everything works out for them cause to get married on ur own birthday and then regret it.. that would suck a big deal. but
as they are japans I am sure they can work it out or just ignore the problem)
This was quite a surprise to most of the people in the office!))) but NY is in a really good mood lately, so I hope everything will be fine.
I finished the work earlier than I expected and left home. I bumped into KY on the way back so we had to walk back together... I guess he had to go back with me suits the situation better. I do not like it if person finds me annoying and stills tries to be white and fluffy... I have no idea what is going on in his head right now, so I will just let him be on his own... cause no matter what, but a cat is still a cat and I would rather prefer to have my freedom than company!..
I the eve I couldn't chat with CM even though we agreed we are gonna do so... strange.. somehow it never works for us... so I felt asleep infornt of my baby junior)

Day 132 ~long way to go~

The hotel in the morning was booked for breakfast so we only stopped at 7/11 to get some food. Ky suggest to go to Beppu, but for me it seemed way to unreasonable. it was at least 3 hours drive to Beppu and then to spend there at least 3 hours and then extra 3 hours to go back to kitakyushu and back to Tm. Therefore I declined the idea and said that anywhere in the city is fine. KY chose some space park which turned out to be a rollercoaster entertainment center, so we skipped it and went to one more park to get the final view over the bridge and Kyushu before heading back.
Some time during the trip we talked about having some fugu fish. And I suggested it as the city on the way is known as the capital of fugu. And if before Ky was supporting the idea then he suddenly started to say that it is too expensive and that I should not spend so much money on smth like that. I got the hint and said that it is ok to go back without it. The funny thing is that he did turned to the city and we were stuck in additional traffic jam even though I said it's ok to straight to Tm without stopping by for fugu. That;s what I do not understand. he didn't want it and I didn't either, but in order to show how nice he can be, we got stuck in traffic and he got more pissed about it than I did (that's reasonable as he was the one driving).
Finally we were able to get back to the highway and head towards home. There were many traffic jams and accidents along the way... Till the eve I was able to be active. I was busy with reading this great story "Foreigner" by Dolotov. The story is interesting and the style is entertaining!
But then after dinner I got really sleepy and the rest of the trip is a total mess in my memory. I remember we were stopping for restroom and "power nap" for KY. and at that time I gave up any attempts to stay awake. The only thing I remember clearly - the moon was amazing...

D124 ~Oh dear deer~

Ok... here is the deal...

Lately I am trully tired because of work and other stuff....
Therefore I will not write much about my Golden Week trip... at least for now.. cause i need to sort photos and remember funny stories in order to do that...
I have been to many places in Kyushu, but in order to give a nice report I need more time... Therefore for now I will only make some entries with random photos and later on I will add stories)

On the night of departure I was lucky enough to see many deers in Nagano area)))

Day 121 ~Lady's table~

I could hardly survive through the day... seriously.. it's just too hard for me to get up when I am supposed to. at first I would wake up throughout the night and then of course I am not able to wake up let say at 7am. I do not understand! In ua I was able to stay up till 2 or 3 am and then wake up at 5 or 6 and go to work or uni. Here I am taking it way to easy! And that;s what I need to change.

Work was slow as usual. During the lunch I invited the other new girl -MK to eat together (nobody around for now)
MK is a replacement for one guy who work for bosch as a contractor and found a regular job therefore he quit. MK has studied in US, but she seems much more mature than IM (no idea how old she actually is) She is very nice. She lives in Takasaki and invited me to come so that she can show me around the area) so sweet) So I am planning to go there on the weekend after the Golden week.

BM and IM were also there, so we had some kind of a lady's table)читать дальше I told about the plans to go to Nikko after the sumo weekend and girls said that they need to think about it...

In the eve C2 and other came back to office, not for long but still. One point was surprising. On Monday I sent C2 an email both work and personal stuff related.He was able to reply only on Tuesday morning, also asking about my weekend and saying that we can talk about work on Wednesday. so when he came back he asked me why I did not reply. well the work related topic could wait and he said that that's not what he was expecting to read about, but instead he was looking forward to hear it all about my weekend. I've been with Japanese too long XD I start forgetting that normal people care about their colleagues a bit more than an average Japanese.

When I got home and was about to head out, somebody ringed my doorbell. On the screen I could see some older guy (not very Japanese looking). I opened the door and the guy asked me in some funny whether I am Russian. "Vy4elovek ruskij?"
Apparently he is Polish, but due to his wife's illness they moved to Japan 8 years ago. It was much easier for him to speak in English so we switched to it. I have no idea how he supports himself but he is one of the Iegova's witnesses.. geez.. they found me even in Japan!!! He gave me a book and said that if I have time he can come whenever it is more convenient for me and he can teach me more about God. I think that when somebody in the family is really sick and medicine is not helping much, al what's left is to turn to religion. I understand that and respect their beliefs, but I do not share it! I do not want to be taught about God from their point of view. Unfortunately I have my own, and I'd like o keep it the way it is.

After 15 minutes talk I went out to do some shopping. In one small shoe store I bought a pair of sports shoes. The lady was letting me try on all the shoes in the store and was so happy that I bought smth in the end. she made a point card of the city stores for me and awarded me with much more points that I have spent XD she also gave me some candies XD I guess she was truly surprised that I can speak Japanese and read as well XD
Then I found a really nice clothing store. Right now I feel so stupid about spending so much money, time and effort in Tokyo for shopping XD but oh well, next time I'll do better.
On the way back I met C2 smoking outside his apartment. Exchanged some quick remarks and went back home.
