Things I need.
I just made a post on myaiesec.net and realized that I can't neither edit nor delete my post. I do partially regret that I did not wait for myself to "cool down" after reading new posts and did not spend enough time revising it afterward. Oh well, I guess you can't always be prepared when you make a confession.
There are some essential and non-essential things that I need to fully enjoy my life while I'm on my traineeship. The most essential is cooking utensil. I have plenty of plates and bowls for myself, one teaspoon, and a stainless saucepan...that's about all I have right now. I use my chopsticks that I brought for basically everything right now, but I'm not trained enough to cut fruits with chopsticks (I had to cut a kiwi in half the other day, and I had to get a bit creative on that one). Not enough training and discipline, I guess. So these are some things that I need to obtain soon from either stores or friends:
1 pot with cover
1 knife
1 cutting board
tapper ware, plastic wrap, etc.
Also it does not seem feasible to cook any Japanese food here. After searching through a supermarket I found a bottle of soy sauce so I bought it, but it does not really taste good. Maybe not enough salt? And that's the only thing that I found that even resembles Japanese food, other than rice. I have no problem eating food here, but for trainee's cooking night, I guess I'll just have to cook some hot dogs.
Non-essential needs...two things. Music and training equipments. I can listen to pretty much anything thanks to youtube and other websites with similar concept, but listening alone cannot satisfy me. I need to play music. Be it piano, guitar, harmonica, or something new. I should've brought my harmonica, but I did not think of it because I have been paying too much attention on piano and not so much about harmonica lately. I found a store for musical instrument very close to my apartment, so maybe I'll go check it out when I got a chance. And for training equipments...basically, I need a boxing gym :(
Last week I started to wake up at 5:40 A.M. to go for a run and do some basic training routine before going to work. You might say, "that's crazy." But this is the only way. I first anticipated to exercise after work but somehow it wasn't working. Besides, it feels nice to run on the riverside when the air is fresh (or fresher than normal) and there isn't many people to stare at you. I feel more energetic at work, so really the hardest part is just getting out of bed. I want everyone who is reading this to try it at least once and see how you'll feel. It's great. But don't blame me if it doesn't work for you!
