Blocking someone on facebook (or being blocked) isn't that big of a deal to me. i know i blocked some people because i felt that there is no way that i can be friends with them. there's one case where i blocked someone because i didn't want that person seeing my posts and commenting on them. but we still keep in touch through other avenues. likewise, i can understand if people block me because they don't want me knowing about their private life. but when someone blocks me off facebook, whatsapp, and (i suspect) even using the block function on the iphone, i think i can safely say that that person doesn't want to have anything to do with me any more. let me just get it out there...the feeling sucks. but well, all i can do now is smile, and learn to let it go.

last week was pretty boring. not much to update on, except that i TA-ed my first lab class. this time round, i got quite an even mix. out of 12 students, i think my group is at an almost 1:1 girl to guy ratio. interestingly, everyone in the group has a JC background. it kind of makes things easier for me, since i can roughly gauge their level of knowledge. on first impressions, they generally seem ok...nobody really blur or anything like that. then again, the first experiment is easy. nevertheless, i'm optimistic for a good teaching lab experience this semester.

the experiences i had today were good and bad. good being that i got to legally leave school during work hours and engage in retail therapy. truth is, my professor asked me to get CNY snacks for the lab, and the budget was $300. since it was claimable from my professor, i just went for it. he just got promoted to associate, so i figure he can afford it. the total came up to $257, so my estimation skills were not bad. have to say though, as the cashier was ringing everything up, there were several times i was afraid that the total would overshoot the budget. thankfully, it remained under. you know, i think the reason my professor asked me to go is because he knows i have a car. there are times where i wonder if it was a mistake to let him know.

bad is that we got safety-checked again. i was kind of shocked when the safety lead told the inspectors that i was the safety lead. the reason it shocked me is because when we last discussed this at the audit, i was still the assistant safety lead, and i had not been notified of any change from then till now. even if i had "officially" taken over, had i been in his position, i would have tanked it for my junior. but well. no major harm done. at least i've been in the lab long enough that i more or less know the procedures, so the hand/takeover should be relatively painless. and with me taking on the full safety lead responsibility, i think i should talk to my professor about passing the chemical ordering thing to someone else. only thing is, i don't know how to do it in a way that won't make me seem like i'm trying to sabo someone, or that i'm trying to push my responsibility. any good ideas?

met up with a judo junior for dinner. i haven't seen him much since he graduated from SJI and went to raffles, so it was good to finally catch him. only wish we could have hung out for longer, but he's got some funny baking project to do. it wasn't a random thing...i actually asked him out for 2 reasons. (1) wanted to buy him dinner before he enlists, and (2) to celebrate his birthday, even though i don't know when it is. that warrants a bit more explaining, i think. you see, for some funny reason, this guy doesn't want people to know his birthday. i don't know it, though i'm sure i could find out if i tried...but nah. too much hassle. i guess it's just a weird thing, like me and photographs. so anyway, i guess respecting his privacy is the way to go. but that doesn't help me determine when to celebrate his birthday. so, i thought that i'd just do it on a random day in january. it kind of serves the purpose, i guess.

guess that's it for now. i've got a japanese vocabulary quiz scheduled tomorrow, and for the first time in my NUS japanese life, i haven't studied for it. thankfully the class is at 12:00pm, so i can get in an hour or two of studying tomorrow morning. speaking of mornings, i want to blog about mornings...but that'll have to wait until the next post.

-random thought of the day: Why do I feel not completely happy?-

The subject matter from this post overlaps with the last post, actually. what happened is that my dad used the car this morning without telling me beforehand. to be fair, though, i was sleeping when he had to use it, though i would actually prefer to be woken up and notified first. for some reason, i find myself quite annoyed at this. it doesn't make sense, since i wasn't using it, there's no harm done. and if someone were to use my...say, pen, without asking, i would't really care either way. so why am i feeling negative about this? if i had to guess, i think it's because i'm stuck on the hypothetical scenario that i would go downstairs and find the car missing. worse if i have to be on time in going to school. but that didn't happen, so i really shouldn't be feeling this way. and yet, i am.

on that note, i wonder if not being justified to feel a certain way = we shouldn't be feeling that way. i can tell you from personal experience that that equation doesn't hold. feelings are complicated things. i guess i can fel that way as long as i don't take it out on anyone else. no point more people than necessary feeling down.

and yes, he parked under the tree again. so much for hoping.

Given that i just had a late night in the lab, i probably shouldn't be blogging now. but i just had to get 2 issues off my chest. interestingly enough, they both begin with C's: construction, and car.

remember the senior citizens' daycare that's scheduled to be built just in front of my house? the construction's started. at this point in time, they've cut down a row of trees and dug out the stumps, which i find to be quite a pity. those trees have been there for as long as i can remember, and were at least 6 storeys tall (horrible parallax error from my vantage point makes it hard to be accurate). if it were up to me, i would have transplanted them somewhere. actually, if it were up to me, the damned home would never have been given the green light. thankfully, i'll probably be in school for most of the construction, unless i decide to take days off here and there. oddly enough, i'm actually looking forward to the move to sengkang/punggol now. that's saying something, because i'm normally quite resistant to change.

the other issue is car. ok, i cheated to get it starting with a C. it's more accurately called "my dad and the car". background: someone hit my dad's car, causing a huge dent in the front right corner. so it's been in for servicing since sometime last week. as a result, he's borrowed my car on 2 occasions since then, the most recent one being a dinner last night. that's fine. after all the times i took his car, i'm happy that i can return the favour. however, there are some issues, most of which i'm ok with or mildly annoyed, others which i'm not too happy (bordering on upset) about. the ones i'm ok with are him using a quarter tank of petrol, adjusting the air-con, and parking under a tree. let me explain them one by one.

i have no issue with my dad using my petrol because goodness knows i've done the same to him many times over. at least the warning light wasn't on, and he left enough for me to use for a day or two. but i still went to top it up earlier today anyway. adjusting the air-con is fine because it's easy for me to quickly set it back to what i like. the minor issue i have here is that he sets both the temperature and the fan to low. it's illogical...like he wants it cold, but doesn't want it too cold at the same time. personally, i leave the fan setting on auto, and just mess with the temperature. think that's more fuel-economical, but i could be wrong. parking under a tree made me a little annoyed, though i understand the motivation. you see, tree branches extend over the lots closest to the lift. i guess he parked there to minimize the walk from the car to the lift. however, the side-effect of parking under a tree is that the car becomes more susceptible to bombing from birds. as such, i stopped parking under trees a couple of weeks ago. when i was going to school, i saw 2 white streaks on the car body. it sucks more because it's as obvious as anything against the car's black body. incidentally, it's true that bird droppings eat at car paint if left on for too long; i know from first-hand experience. since i didn't have any water handy to wash it off, and since i was long overdue for a car wash anyway, i decided to get one at the same time as i was topping up petrol. and since i was going to the petrol station anyway, i took the opportunity to inflate my tyres, so that's 3 birds with one stone. after what those damned birds did to the car, i wish it was literal. so maybe that didn't turn out so bad after all.

what got me quite upset was that there was an attempt to "tidy up" the stuff i had in the back. things like putting my sports shoes and black belt into the same box. of all the things that were done, that upset me the most actually. i mean, seriously? as if messing with my stuff at home wasn't bad enough, now it extends to my car!? what's more, who in their right mind would store a belt in a shoebox, and worse still, together with shoes?? i just pray it doesn't happen again.

i know it sounds like a really minor thing, but i'm quite sensitive when identifying whether things have been moved around. not sure whether it's a me-thing or a driver-thing, but there's about an 85% chance i'll know if something of mine was shifted. can't really explain it. there'll be this odd feeling that something isn't right. i felt it while driving just now, too, so i'm not sure if something else was adjusted. maybe i'm just paranoid. but if i had to guess, it would be the driver's side mirror, which i tweaked a little on the way home.

ok. that it. sleep time.

-random thought of the day: Something tells me my reaction failed.-

Pulling a few consecutive late nights in lab this past week meant that i didn't really have time (and energy) to blog. wanted to do it yesterday, while waiting in school for my experiment, but somehow, i ended up doing more lab work...which is good also, i guess. incidentally, i realize i'm productive on saturdays, or generally when the lab is quiet. not sure why, too. maybe there are less distractions? almost makes me want to take a weekday off and come in on saturday for lab. but i can't do that...not this semester, at least. class every evening from monday to thursday, then TA on friday. no good place to insert an off day. no worries, though, i'll survive.

not sure if it's due to a whole week of not blogging, but i felt quite down for most of today. in fact, i was kind of out of it even while meeting my JC friends for dinner. the dinner itself wasn't that fancy, we ate at ajisen gourmet town at nex, then had dessert at dessert story. once again, this confirmed my perception that ajisen sucks. somehow this group of friends has the knack of choosing sucky japanese places. anyway. to me, this dinner sucked on 2 fronts: food and service. food-wise, i got the kumamoto ramen. the most glaring offence i found was that the egg was hard-boiled, with that green ring of some sulphur compound around the yolk. in fairness, the rest of the dish was acceptable. pork was tender enough, noodles were nice. for the $18 i paid, i think ramenplay would have been a better choice. actually, now that i'm writing it, the food seems BARELY passable. but the service, my goodness. the person taking our order spoke broken english, which i'm still ok with. the way which she tackled questions, however...major fail. seeing that there was a mound of some topping i didn't recognize, i asked her what was in the kumamoto ramen, and she said, "it's kumamoto ramen". yes, i can read the english and katakana on the menu. i know what it's called. but what's IN it? upon hearing the question and seeing me point to that unidentifiable thing, she tried to identify everything in the bowl, but came up with "not chilli". later, i discovered that the "not chilli" was a piece of stewed pork. i think reading off the menu would have made sense if the name was something descriptive, like "noodles and stewed pork in soup". but the name of the dish is hardly descriptive in this case. if it was, i wouldn't have had to ask in the first place. really makes me wonder what their hiring criteria is made up of. once again, to be fair, the rest of the staff were more or less competent. but still, i'm not going to eat there if i can help it.

at the other extreme of the service spectrum, i also encountered excellent service at serangoon MRT. sometime last year, i did something at kent ridge MRT that required me to pay some money...probably topping up my card. i remember the staff saying "bring exact change next time", and getting quite angry upon hearing that. in contrast, when i tried to top up $15 today using a $50 note, the nice staff at the service counter told me that he could only top up values in multiples of $10. i was about to tell him to just top up $10, when he told me that he'd help to break my $50 note and suggested that i use the add-value machine. even though it meant i had to detour and queue a little, i still think it was a wonderful idea, and an excellent show of initiative on his part. now, let's compare the 2 experiences. i think what made each experience memorable was the way that the staff responded to something out of the ordinary. the ajisen person either didn't understand the question, or didn't know her subject matter well enough to answer. on the other hand, the MRT guy could offer an alternative which got me what i wanted. granted, the situations aren't identical, but i think that they're of similar difficulty.

while hanging out with the group at ajisen and dessert story, i felt kind of...disconnected. i guess it's because there was one guy there i'm not exactly good friends with. what makes it a bit worse is that he's extroverted (and a little loud), so it's very noticeable when he's not really talking to someone (ie. me). i mean, we *are* on talking terms and all, but he's just not someone i'd go to if i needed help. i wouldn't really make small talk with him either, for that matter. it stemmed from something in JC, i think, and if memory serves, we never really resolved it. but well, i figure that i don't have to be best friends with everyone i know. apart from the fact that it's practically impossible, having all your friends as best friends just means that you don't really have any best friends. to quote from the villain in the incredibles, "if everybody's super, nobody is"...or something to that effect. on the bright side though, i had a new experience, trying a bit of my friend's ginger steamed egg pudding (or something named along those lines). it tasted...odd, but not in a bad way. guess i'm just not used to steamed egg being presented as a dessert.

i went down to SJC for training this morning. my host (when i went to australia last year) is back in singapore for a visit, so i wanted to meet him. had planned on taking him out for lunch today, but he had something else on. i suppose there's still time before he goes back in february. after not training for about 2 weeks, i'm feeling kind of sore now. the fact that my neck/upper back got a little hyperextended during groundwork sparring isn't really helping things. we tried a bit of ju no kata there, and got some pointers from one half of singapore's best pair. so far, we'd just been doing the general forms. turns out there's a LOT of detail which we don't know. bugger. well, there's still some time to improve before the kata seminar in july. speaking of which...

does anyone else get this odd feeling of hesitation when planning for an overseas trip? it kind of happened during grad trip, and it's happening again. last time, it went away after the tickets were bought, so hopefully it'll be a similar case this time. what i didn't mention just now is that the seminar is held in japan, so we have to plan our trip. the seminar dates are 17 to 23 july (a week), and we were thinking of going a day earlier to acclimatize, and having a short 2-day or so R&R before flying back, making our trip 10 days total. i guess the reason i don't feel 100% good about this is because i'll be missing 10 days of lab. well, technically 9 since there's a sunday in there somewhere. but still. unless i can somehow publish a paper by end-june, i really don't think that the sense of guilt from missing so much lab will go away. and summer break is when we're supposed to be more productive in research since there are no classes. right now, i'm trying to find a good way to break it to my professor. you know, i really feel that i'm pushing my luck. first japanese, now this. of course, the counter is that i'm entitled to 21 days of leave per year, so i'm still within quota, so i shouldn't feel bad. if only i could get myself to believe that.

nearly forgot to mention that i got my replacement shoes this past thursday. they're holding out well so far, which is good. the timing was very nice, since i had to look more presentable as i was helping to host some guest speakers for friday lunch. thank goodness for small positive things like that. i realize i can actually get used to hosting visiting professors, as long as we don't talk chemistry, and that i have a few other people on hand to help with the small talk. this time, the guests were from england. there's a japanese professor coming next tuesday. as far as i know, my professor is free the whole day, so he can entertain the guest himself. nevertheless, i wonder if he'll ask me to join in the lunch?

classes will get more intense this coming week, and TA duty is starting. i really really should start going to school earlier. with any luck, i can consistently be as productive as i was on saturday.

-random thought of the day: Need to blog about my thoughts on judo soon.-

Couple of days for TA training this past week aside, most of the remaining time was spent in lab. i'm happy that my synthesis is progressing ok...finally got the first 2 steps done. another 3 more steps and i should have a catalyst. doesn't seem enough though. should consider setting up more reactions, which should be easier now that my senior has officially moved to his new lab, and i've taken over his place. first things first though, i need to do some MAJOR cleanup and reorganization. i just hope that the effort won't be wasted, because word is that a new postdoc will be coming around february. and there's no space in the lab. so i hope i don't get displaced again.

i've had a lot of weird thoughts recently, most of them negative. that can't be good for my mental health. in particular, i'm still kind of stuck on the incident from last year. yes, i know i'd said i'd try to let go, but sometimes, letting go doesn't come easy, you know? especially if the someone involved meant a lot to you, as in this case for me. but well, i guess i just need more time.

yesterday was very good on my stomach, and surprisingly, not bad on my wallet! we had group lunch, and my professor had earlier asked me to plan it. naturally, we had japanese buffet. the ultimate consensus was a place called kiseki ("miracle" in japanese) at orchard central. lucky i was there recently, so we didn't end up lost. my timing worked out, though we were a little late due to changing trains. thankfully, we weren't affected by the north-south line breakdown. the food was...ok-ish. nothing bad, though there was nothing VERY outstanding either. the 2 most memorable dishes for me were grilled salmon head and wasabi ice cream. it tasted ok, but weird...i think they just dissolved wasabi powder in milk and froze it or something. interesting. dinner was at long beach dempsey, to celebrate my cousin's birthday. the standard of the food was more or less maintained, but the initial service was dissatisfactory before my aunt got there (she knows the manager). there seems to be more foreign service staff there, as compared to the last time i went (which was like...a year ago or longer). i don't have anything against foreigners, but i do mind if they do a worse job than the people they replaced.

there are kind of a lot of things on my mind now, but i think i'll cut it short for now. school starts tomorrow, and i have to be in early to sit in on a lecture for the lab module i'll be TA-ing. whose bright idea was it to have that lecture at 8:00am, in a relatively inaccessible LT anyway? to make things worse, i can't park in the science carpark now that school has started. so it's another long journey either from the MPSH or the satellite place. haven't decided which is better. well...i'll manage somehow.

-random thought of the day: I want my replacement shoes!-

Saw a couple of whatsapp messages last night/this morning that made me think a bit. it seems that kata athletes will be reclassified into 3 kata - nage no kata, ju no kata, and kodokan goshin jutsu - which will be the kata events for the 2015 SEA games. i understand the first 2, because they're more popular, and have been a staple at past games. what i don't understand is (1) why not include all kata, and (2) of all kata to add, why goshin jutsu?

i think i better give some background info here. judo officially recognizes 7 kata, of which 5 are competition events. the 2 which are not contested are only understood well by a few masters, and it's thus difficult for them to be judged accurately/well (at least that's what i think). plus, one of them is considered as incomplete, so not much point in contesting it. in addition to the 3 listed above, the other 2 which people compete in are katame no kata and kime no kata. the previous grading syllabus had (in dan order), nage no kata first, followed by katame no kata, ju no kata, then kime no kata, and goshin jutsu. it's not exactly according to difficulty order, since different people perceive that differently. i'm actually not sure how they determined the order, or what the order is in the first place. from my perspective and based on what little i know, i think it's based on how complex the ideology behind the kata is.

but anyway. i think the first of my 2 questions can be answered quite easily. probably due to medal constraints, budget constraints, sports council directive, or something similar. the second question is the one i don't understand. why not katame no kata or kime no kata? i have several possible theories in my mind, but i think the most likely reason is because since it's considered to be a "high-level" kata, not too many people practise it. we have a pair who's been practising for around a year, so singapore probably has a slight advantage for now. and if we maintain that advantage, hopefully it means we can secure a medal.

with this new information, i somehow don't see myself remaining a national athlete for long. if we're being forced into those 3 kata, the one i'll most likely choose is nage no kata since it overlaps with my grading syllabus. but at the same time, i know that it'll be difficult for me to catch up to the current best pair, let alone overtake them. so...not much point, right? at the same time, i went through a fair bit of trouble to get carded, and giving it all up like this seems like a waste. but then, giving up national athlete status also means i won't have to go for NUS training, which in turn means that i'll have more time for research. it's kind of a messy situation now, and i'm not sure how things will go from here. should stop worrying about it for now; i think that's best.

last night/this morning was weird. it all started because i took a nap from 9:00pm to 12:00am. yes, i know doing that was stupid. should either have resisted and slept later, or just slept all the way through. ended up sleeping on and off from 2:00am to 6:0am, but that's not the weird part. the weird part was that i was trying out some visualization exercises, and there were periods of time i think i drifted off halfway through a particular visualization, then proceeded to finish it off after i woke up. also had some really weird dreams, probably induced by the increased brain activity. as usual, i can't remember any of it. sucks.

random thing that happened earlier today. i was at the dog shelter, in an enclosure with 3 dogs. it was my first time; normally i stick with 1- or 2-dog pens. guess i was a little overwhelmed, because as i was trying to engage 2 of the dogs, the third one snuck up behind and peed on me. i was squatting down, so he got the lower bit of my shirt, a bit of my shorts, and my foot/slipper. that bugger. i was thinking that if he wasn't already neutered, i'd castrate him. it was kind of unpleasant at that time, but it's something to laugh about now. i just hope the smell isn't persistent on the clothes, or worse still, in the car. have to go down and sniff around inside tomorrow. on the bright side, i think i'm bonding well with a few of the dogs. i've got one favourite, and a few more of the friendlier ones that i like to interact with. considering that there are about 115 dogs in total, i've still got a long way to go. but at least i can afford to take it slow.

tomorrow is my "official" start of the work year, and the first day i'll be trying the semi-pescetarian thing out (i decided on a mini-holiday over the new year period). if my professor is in, i'll also talk to him about japanese. i'll push for it unless he outright forbids me from taking it. i hope things will go smoothly...really need a good start to the year. for now, i've got some visualization to do. hope that doesn't cause any weird dreams tonight.

-random thought of the day: Wake up early tomorrow!-

あけまして おめでとう ございます! that's pronounced "akemashite omedetou gozaimasu" and translates to "happy new year" in japanese, though not literally. the literal translation is something like "congratulations on opening/starting (the year)". the "あ" is usually written with the kanji "明", which means "bright" in chinese. i'm actually not too sure how that works out...but the point of this post isn't to discuss language. the phrase above is usually followed by "今年 も どうぞ 宜しく お願い 致します" ("kotoshi mo douzo yoroshiku onegai itashimasu", very humble way of saying "please look upon me favourably this year as well"). just wanted to share some japanese with you all.

so, it's 2014. could be 32 december 2013 for all the difference i feel. the usual new year mood of renewal and hope/anticipation just isn't present. guess that's because new year's day is right smack in the middle of the week. still, the show must go on, and i have to draft my resolutions. instead of doing my usual list/point-form thing, i'll write in long form for a change, and maybe explain my rationale for coming up with some stuff that you may find weird.

my first priority is school. since i'm still doing research, the resolutions here won't change much from last year, except with the addition of passing the QE. but after 1 sem of grad studies, i realize that i have to produce results faster as compared to when in honours. the most important thing for me would be going to school earlier. there is a minor minor issue which may somewhat affect my productivity, which is that my ballot for science season parking didn't go through again. it's the second semester in a row, which is quite unfortunate. is the science carpark really that in demand? how many undergrads and grad students drive to school, anyway? assuming that there are twice as many applications as lots (that's quite a lot already), i have a 1 in 2 chance of getting or not getting a lot. since i've not got a lot for 2 semesters already, that's a 1 in 4 chance. i hope my luck will change next semester. but that's a minor thing; nothing i can't work around. do have to go to school earlier, too, both so that i can get more stuff done, and also because staying in school until 11:00pm on average can't be physically and mentally healthy.

judo (and by extension, physical fitness) comes after that. my resolution is to improve on my kata, to the point where i can confidently perform either role for any of the 3 kata that i already know on short notice. in addition, i'd also like to work towards being able to perform at least 2 full kata runs before fatigue sets in. if i'm called to referee, i will be fair, and not give anyone reason to talk bad about me (turns out that didn't go so well last year). hopefully i can pass my second dan, and if i'm really lucky, get IJF continental. don't think the latter will happen within the year though, since i'm not even up for SJF A yet. you'll notice that i haven't said anything about NUS judo or national training. well, that's because i'm not sure if i'll still be a part of those things. the classes which i'll be taking this semester clash with NUS training dates, and with the shift of national training to saturday mornings, that clashes with group meeting. i can't expect NUS or the national team to change just for me, so i really don't know how things will go down. guess i'll have to take it a step at a time. as for CJC/SJI, that's still a big question mark at this point in time. there are numerous reasons i don't want to go back so often, but i don't think i want to go into detail too much there. let's just say priorities and schedule are among the top reasons.

i also want to make some lifestyle changes. remember a few months back, i was talking about modifying my diet? i figured what better time to start than new year? here's the tentative plan. i'll have pescetarian (vegetarian + fish) days every monday, wednesday and friday. the diet plan for tuesdays, thursdays and weekends will be as normal. then, i'll review it mid-year to see if it's working out, and whether days should be added/removed (hopefully added). i just worry about the limited selection of fish stuff in the science canteen. sure, i could go pure vegetarian, but are you kidding!? odds are that that won't happen. might end up having more cooking days as a result, which is not necessarily a bad thing. in fact, that might even motivate me to get out of lab early on those days. other lifestyle changes i'm thinking of are sleeping by 12:30am and waking up by 9:00am (earlier is possible too, of course). i figure that i need better sleeping hours. might increase my productivity as a bonus.

personally, i think i shouldn't try to care about everyone. i mean, there has to be some basic level of concern, like asking them about recent developments, anything news-worthy...or if they're obviously troubled and need someone to talk to (reminder: that someone may not necessarily be me). it'll be a bit hard, i think, because i have unfortunate kaypoh tendencies. and as last year proved, not everyone appreciates that. so i guess i should put my newton's third law of interpersonal interaction on the list officially...meaning that i will reciprocate (there's the opposite) however much (there's the equal) someone else adds to or withdraws from our joint emotional bank account. it's a lame way of saying it, but nothing more concise and easy to understand comes to mind at this time. most of all, i think i need to work on my ability to let go. and i think smiling more would contribute some way to reaching that goal.

for more practical matters, my savings goal is to increase the amount in my bank account by 150% to 200%. not impossible, but will require some significant restraint on my side (especially with car loan payments and a japan trip in the works). still, it should be achievable, i think. also, i plan to keep my temper in check (while driving too), and get into minimal uncalled-for, unpleasant conflicts. if i have to suffer a little, fine. it builds character, after all. of course, the standard no accident, no drunk driving, always being careful stuff still applies.

those resolutions seem reasonable, and i think they'll be easier to remember and work towards than last year's (i actually forgot a large portion of last year's resolutions by june). with any luck (and effort), i'll be able to see these resolutions through. as explained in paragraph 1, 今年もどうぞ宜しくお願い致します!
