My new year 2005

It's been already a week since the first day of 2005.
I had only 5 days off as a new years break, but yeah, I should say it was still nice.
I did help my parents to clean all parts of my house,
I visited my grandma who keeps saying that my appearance & attitude are getting close to my mom (and I keep telling my mom that her appearance & attitude are getting close to my grandma! I'm 100% sure that all of us got same blood in our veins.),
I went shopping, a big big sale to buy suits (oh yeah they are damn cheap now and those suits make me feel like I am a super cool business woman, hehehe),
I went to a shrine with my high school friends for new year's praying (there were too many people in Kamakura that it took us more than 1 hour from the gate of shrine to where we can toss coins & make a wish!),
I had a big pot party at my friend's place (yes! having a hot pot with Kimchee can never be greater than anything else to do in winter.),
and yes, now I'm back to work.

I used to go skiing & traveling at the end of year, so this year's activities were kind of unnormal for me.
I had thought I might get bored during the break without any "special plan", but it was pretty fast and enjoyable break for me.
Since I'm back to my job, it's been hard to get myself accustomed to the regular time cycle again.
But I'm now having a exciting job that makes me wanna learn more about Africa.
I'm helping a famous professional photographer to collect information of Africa, since he is planning to take a photo shooting trip.
I am not sure if I can actually start a business with him and make money, but I'm still happy that I got a chance to meet a guy who has devoted himself to what he is meant to be, and never spare his effort for his job, as a professional photographer.
I saw some photos of mountains that he had taken last year.
I'm totally ammateur of photo-taking skill, so I can't tell what makes so special about his work.
And personally I enjoy taking & watching photos of daily stuff or daily scene, so it's hard to tell a quality of photos of great nature.
But I can at least tell that he does have a skill of making himself toward to what he is setting a goal for. Yeah, I like him.

So well... yeah I can not avoid from being busy at work now, but I am fine as long as I have a motivation and will to get to know new things.
I think working for a company isn't as bad as people had told me or I had expected.
I guess it may be just because I was lucky enough to have great co-workers, but getting to know new things to help my co-workers and seeing my contribution is what I had never done before.
And that's what facilitates people to work, I guess.
