Personality: Serious
- h take things seriously and earnestly, the way I always
want to be. That doesn't mean that I can't have a few laughs, though. I
don't like it when someone says, "Don't take it so seriously, loosen
up" when I'm contemplating something deeply.
Hobbies
- Computer: Did the BASIC
introduction with Fujitsu FM-8. The MS-DOS introduction with NEC 9801.
I was still a beginner in both. I bought NEC9821 recently, and am planning
to become an expert of Windows 95...
- Karate: I've been interested in martial arts
for a while but hadn't got around to doing it, so when I turned 40, I became
a pupil, thinking that it was my last chance. The school is International
Full-Contact Submission Arts "KENSHINKAN"and we practice in gymnasiums
around Koenji (Suginami-ku, Tokyo). I'm in the senior class (30yrs. or
above) and satisfied with the motto "how a person who has a job and
cannot practice much can protect him/herself when attacked on the streets
of Ginza". I get serious for a full contact (kumite), and suffer from
sore muscles for 3 days after practice.
- Cooking: My specialty is southeast Asian cooking,
especially Thai food. I'm not interested in the so-called "man's cooking"
, where you spend a whole day to cook and leave the cleaning up to someone
else. I'm interested in cooking something that tastes good, with simple
ingredients and takes little time to prepare; cooking as a skill for daily
life. Thus, I try to practice a lifestyle that stirs a healthy appetite.
