Last night, went to a hot spring club at the surburb with some colleagues to celebrate the new year. Very nice place. We bathed in hot spring pool,wearing swimsuit, male colleagues drinking beer. Played cards and mah-jong, song songs, cooked noodle in the kitchen (I only ate). The bed there was really very soft and comfortable, so I had a very good sleep. Went back to the city at around noon time today, did some shopping again, and went back home to write emails to friends until now.

It is the early morning of 2006 now. I welcome the new year with open arms, and will go to bed now for another good sleep. When I get up under the sunshine of 2006, hope a happy 2006 is awaiting me and all of you, my friends!
