winnie the pooh

I just remember the song of Winnie the Pooh.

"Winnie the Pooh. Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff, He's Winnie the Pooh. Silly willy-nilly old bear"

I have never think of the meaning of the words. But today I looked up the vocabulary.
Tubby is fat, cubby is small, willy-nilly is disorganized... This song make a gibe with Pooh, I think. Actually "pooh-pooh" means the same meaning to "make a gibe".

A little discovery in usual life.

account

Today I had some task with accounting. I haven't studied accouting, but I have many occation when knowledge of accounting is essential.

Actually, I dislike not only accounting but statistics. Although the knowledge about stocastic things. I have never think of utilizing these knowledge like now before.

english

These days, I am practicing English with Hearing Marathon.

The materials are sent once a month. And it includs an chapter with Canadian Radio Drama. Sometimes the speaking is too fast to catch up, but there is an explanation about the story, and it helps me understand the conversations in the drama.

This time, the title is "Becker the Hotel Detective".

drum

Today, I had an rehearsal for my band.

But some of the member couldn't come, and one of them is the drummer. So I told one of my friend to come and play.

Actually, his play was quite good! He played the tunes which we played today for the first time, but he could feel the atmosphare and played in good sound. Also the sound was different, in good meanings, from usual drummer.

I'm going to have a new band with him, and we are going to play the tunes of Pat Metheny on the band. I'm really looking forward to it!

Fujiyama

Today, I went to Fujikyu Highland Park at Gotemba, which is famous for many thrilling rides.

There are many fast speed roller coasters, and the most famous one is named Fujiyama. It is recorded on the Guniss book as the longest roller coaster in the world.

Also, there I rode newly constructed ride named Eejanaika. That name is from old Japanese word, but the ride is extraordinary thrilling. When you ride it, you goes not only up and down but up to down, rolling , falling from head, and more. I cannot tell how it is in one word. But it was absolutely interesting for me.

Only thing that irritated me was the waiting time. It took more than an hour to ride almost all the rides, and the worst case, actually the Eejanaika, I waited for 3 hours! Incredible.

Today is the second time for me to come to Fujikyu, but I thought I want to come here more times.

first time

Today is the first day with no glasres, contact lens.

I had so busy that I have forgotten that I have just finished an operation.

With no glasses, it seems so comfortable that I can finish many tasks in less time as usual.

But I should be care of my eyes not to dry. So I came back to home earlier than usual.

I hope that I will be more used to this condition next week.

miscellanious things

Today, I had an inspection after operation of Lasik on Yesterday.

Fortunatelly, it finished in an hour, so I could do what I wanted to do.

First, I changed the address for Mitsubishi UFJ trust and banking. I have an account here because my grand father had made an account for me. Actually, there are not so many branches there, so I have to take a private holiday for going to one of the branches.

Next, I had moved my money from usual saving from fixed deposit. Also, the interest of one my fixed deposit was not good, so I cancel that and contract as current interest. It is difficult to decide if you should make a contract with current interest or continue with past interest.

And many other things I did today. So there are no special things, but an important day for me.

LASIK

Today I took an eye operation, called LASIK.

This operation makes my eye sight good, and it contines forever.

I have heard about this operation from some of my friends, and all of them says that it is quite good. So I decided to take it.

The operation was a little scareing, but it finished in just 10 minutes.

Actually when the operation was over, my sight became good soon, but when the anesthesia wear off, I felt heavy pain on my eyes. I couln't stop my tears dropping from eyes when I came back to home, and it remained about 5 hours...

Anyway, the pain was over now. My sight is absolutelly good. I'm now imaging about what to do tomorrow and after that days with no contact lens and glasses

Ritz Carlton

Today, I am staying at the Ritz Carlton at Roppongi.

First, I want to go out to some foreign countries, such as Australia or Manhattan, NYC. But when I looked up the tours on the internet, I realized that it is really expensive to go these countries on Silver Week, and finally it is stupid to go there. So I decided to stay in Japan, but spend luxuary times. So I reseaved ther Ritz Carlton.

Shortly say, the Ritz Carlton is excellent. Everything in there is perfect, such as foods, services, rooms, and amenities. I was really fulfilled and enjoyed staying there.

I'd like to stay there more, in special time.

yokohama

Today I went to Yokohama.

I have visited Yokohama just 2 weeks ago, but this time, I stayed at Fujisawa yesterday, so it is convenient to come to Yokohama.

There were many new shops just opend, such as H&M, another shops are located at only Ginza and Omotesando. There were too many people there, I guess that this Silver Week, many people don't want to go foreign country and just go around somewhere in Japan, because they have spent money in Summer vacation, and also it is expensive to go out this time.

Anyway, I could buy what I wanted to buy, CDs, T-shirts, and glasses, which is for after taking Lesik.

Axtually I don't like to go out to clouded places...

cycling

I went cycling on the second day of this holiday.

I rode a bike from Kugenuma shore, near Enoshima, to Chigasaki. It was just 5 km or less, so it took about a half hour for one way. But I went to many interesting places, bakery, ice cream shop, and more, so finally it took 5 hours or more to go back to the starting point.

Anyway, it is so fun to play outside.

costoco

For the first day of Rilver Week, which is named after Golden Week on May, I went to the costoco, an extra large supermarket, at Kawasaki.

It is exiting to not only to choose what to buy but just seeing the products, because every items are sold with extra large amount.

One of my favorite things is colona beer. Maybe the price is half of that of usual.

Only thing that makes me annoyed is that it takes more than 2 hours to go around to see every items.

yokohama

I had a meeting for the Yokohama Jazz Promnade on October. Unfortunately, it was held at part of yokohama, thus I had to leave my office an hour before.

Coincidently, I had many things to do today, also one of my colleague moves to another team, so I couldn't depart from my office on time.

I afraid that any inconvenient shouldn't happen at the meeting because of my late arrival.

probability distribution

These days, I often use probability distribution, usualy shorten as PD, to asume a sequence of data following some model.

There are various kind of PD, especially the normalized distribution is the most likely used one.

I am now researching about NIG, normal inverse gaussian, distribution. This is an extended model of normalized distribution.

The difference between two PDs is that the shape can be transformed with its parameters, not only symmetric but assimmetric shape, also light tail to fat tail. The adoptability makes this to be used model financial data, especially market data.

enough time

If there are enough time for doing something, you tend to do things not efficiently. And if the time is limited, you can manage to do that in the time. Interesting thing.

statement

Today I had an occation to read a statement of one judgement. It was the first time for me to read kind of this.

I was surprised to know that the vocabulary in the statement was not so far from which we usually use in our daily life, also the verbs' forms were like ordering.

And which made me surprised me the most is that the structure of the statement was not absolutely logical but there seems to be remaining some buffer for thinking more.

There just started the system that common, not proffessional, people to join judgement in Japan now. I imagine that it should be quite difficult to judge people in the court.

fortune

Sometimes, good events cause in the same time and everything seems to be going on better and better, and vice versa.

Today, there were many good things on my work, so I could spend really fulfilled time.

But once a trouble happened, the rhythm suddenly became like confused, and I was faced many irritating things.

I don't know which makes things worse, the trouble or my hushed feeling. But it should be true that both things are influencing each other at least.

I wish I could be calm even if there happening any unforcasted things.

crush

Today my PC suddenly crushed, which I bought about 5 or 6 years ago.

When I was using this, the screen turns black in a sudden, then restarted automaticaly. I have never experienced such crush before, so I was really surprised.

Soon I went to buy an external HDD to back up the data. Fortunately, the PC worked when I booted it for back up.

So far, I can manage with alternative one, but sooner or later, I want to buy new one, hopefully it should be MacBook.

curry and rice

Curry is one of my favorite foods. Actually, I can eat curry and rice almost everyday for a month.

Today I had vegitable curry for a dinner. It was quite delicious!

Also, there is an Indian curry restaurant around my house. There you can eat delicious nann.

Yes, I like curry.

nice dinner, fantastic times

Yesterday, I had a dineer at "Camillia", one of the highest class restaurant in Four Seasons Hotel in Japan.

We had a dinner at prvate space, and the taste was really nice. Not only the taste but the picture was absolutely good that I was fully enjoyed the time.

It is good to have beautiful meal not only for our physical health but also for our mental health.

lars jansson

Today, I went to the gig which one of my favorite artists, Lars Jansson, plays.

His play is so cool that you can imagine many colors, scenes from it.

Today was the first time for me to listen his music in live. It was wonderful time, the music was filled with warm feeling, also the atmosphere was really nice.

Each tone he plays comes to our heart, and made us audience happy.

The last tune he played was named "giving, receiving". We received many many things from him and his music. I hope he also received something from us.

birthday

Today is my birthday.

But I had an exam today, so I got up very early this morning, also I had too much tasks to do that I had been in office for about 16 hours!

Today is the most terrible birthday in my life...

graph

In general, the 2 dimentional graph is drawn with holizontal axis for x, the basis value, and vertical axis for y, which is the calculated value with assumed function. It is quite natural thing for me, but it isn't for someone who is not familiar to science. Interesting difference.

from mobile

For a long time, inconvenience of posting an article from PC pqevented me from posting everyday.

But I try to start posting from mobile, it should help me continue writing everyday.

Btw, I'm interested in statistics these days.

The newest thing is QQ plot. This is one of famous method for data visualization.
