Woke up at home around 6:00AM, felt a bit tired.
Needed to visit client so I drove in rainy weather. Stayed at office until
9:30PM and headed to a hotel. Had to go to McDonald's since that was one of
only few restaurant open after 9:00PM there. |
| 2/2 |
Woke up around 6:00AM at hotel. Went for a walk
before have breakfast. Reported to work around 8:00AM and then spent another
whole day there. Had lunch at Park Restaurant with coworkers. Came back to
Indianapolis around 8:00PM, joined the meeting in the evening, came home
around 9:30PM. Went to bed around 10:30PM |
| 2/3 |
Woke up around 7:45AM. I must have been quite
tired. Drove to work and stayed whole day until 6:30PM. Had a lunch at
McDonald's and tried Spicy Chicken sandwich. Stopped by Borders and they
were doing buy 3 get one free deal on music CDs so I went ahead and bought
some. It was okay. Relaxed at home for the evening. Started to rain in the
evening. Going to bed around 10:30PM |
| 2/4 |
Woke up around 8:00AM. The outside was snow
covered and expected more. I was going to ski with my coworkers so I
switched rental car from Pontiac Grand Prix to Ford Explorer. The ride was
good for four adults and we all had good time skiing. The weather was a bit
windy and cloudy so it was not really warm day but stayed there until
7:30PM. Drove to Greensburg and had dinner at Chili's. Drove back to
Indianapolis past 11:00PM and went to bed straight.

[Super Bowl XL Steelers 21 - Seahawks 10]
Woke up around 8:00AM. My body aches but not so bad as the last time. I
returned the rental car and drove around town to do shopping. There were so
many people at a grocery store because of the game tonight. Otherwise I
bought some Japanese groceries at Sakura Mart and that was it. Worked on
company assignment so I could have a better start. |

It's Monday again. Woke up around 7:00AM since I
was a bit tired. Getting colder in past couple of days and not easy to get
up. Stretched my body and went to work. I had to visit a client so I stayed
there until 5:00PM, usual for me. Had lunch at a Subway. Drove back to my
apartment, cooked dinner then headed to the office to attend meeting. Came
home around 9:45PM. Went to bed straight. |
| 2/7 |
Woke up at 6:00AM. It was quite cold last night
and I had hard time sleeping. I even had to stretch in the middle of the
night to ease muscle pain from skiing over the weekend. Visited client whole
day, head back to the office around 8:00PM, attend meeting and headed home
around 9:30PM. |
| 2/8 |
Woke up at 6:00AM another morning in 20s. Since
I need to drive a lot this week, I rented a 2006 Toyota Camry. I though the
car was nice because it is quiet and comfortable on highway. Worked whole
day and had lunch at a pizza place. I think I ate too much, though. Came
back to the office around 7:00PM to attend meeting. Came home late. Going
bed straight. |
| 2/9 |
Woke up on time, took a walk in the morning. The
weather forecast was telling people some snow but I have not seen it yet. I
rented a 2006 Ford Fusion and went to visit client. The car looked sharp but
lacks horsepower and stability on corners. The interior also kinda crappy.
Worked whole day. Had lunch at china buffet. When I was coming back to the
office, it was snowing. Attend evening meeting and went home around 9:00PM.

Ford Fusion. Looks cool but packaging is not good enough. |

[2006 Winter Olympics at Turin, Italy has begun]
Woke up around 6:00AM, another day I have to make a trip to client's place.
I returned the car since it was not that fun. Drove my car to the place.
Stopped by a Mexican restaurant for lunch, and McDonald's for dinner. Worked
until 10:00PM and drove back to my apartment around 11:00PM. Tired but was
okay week. Expecting some snow tomorrow. |
| 2/11 |
Woke up at 8:00AM. I must have been tired. It
was not snowy or anything in the morning so I took my car to a car wash. It
was all white from the deicing chemicals. I stopped by my office in the
afternoon and headed to Meijer for grocery shopping. I will be going to
Japan from next weekend so I don't need to buy too much. Took evening easy
while doing some easy company work. Decided to go skiing tomorrow again,
also talked with my mom on the phone in the evening. |

Woke up at 8:00AM. Went to my coworker's house
to hitch a ride to Perfect North Slope for the third time. It was a bit
snowy and had bad visibility sometimes but when we got to the ski place, it
was all fine. Because we had cool weather for past few days, the snow there
was so good. However, maybe due to the Olympic or just because Valentine's
day is nearby, the amount of visitor was nothing compare to I have ever
seen. We had to park at the furthest spot, and I see people even going to
temporary parking (which is a grass field...). We skied for 5 hours then
headed back to Indianapolis. The place we dined had a forgetful waiter and
he missed out appetizers and rolls of bread. I had to consult him to clearly
explain that we won't tip him well at this moment, but I also noticed that
the tables around us seem to have similar problem with him so I tipped him a
bit. Going to bed after 11:00PM.

Woke up at 6:00AM, took a walk, expecting a bit
warmer but I guess it was. I have seen people running with shorts. Spent
whole day at office. I did a lot of work but not too much going on. Stopped
by Office Max and Meijer to buy stuffs for the office and for my travel
starting this weekend. |
| 2/16 |
Woke up at 6:00AM, it was in the 50s but cloudy.
I had to pick up a company VIP at the airport so I rent a 2006 Pontiac G6.
The car had good sound and the car moves quite well, except for the hard car
seat. Drove to client's office around 11:15AM, and had lunch at China
buffet. Stayed until 9:00PM and went to Pizza King for the dinner and beer.
At the time, the outside was raining hard and lightening can be seen. Stayed
until 10:30PM then headed back to my apartment. It was windy, and the rain
was partly snow so it was hard to drive. They even caused a part of the
interstate closed. Came back home around midnight and went to bed. |
| 2/17 |
Woke up around 7:00AM, the temperature dropped
to 25 degrees in the morning. Went to work but had to make few trips because
I am heading to Japan tomorrow. I went to a post office to hold my mail,
also a haircut place. It was cold whole day and seen flurries often |
