No.1 Suger Cane in Singapore



I like to drink suger cane very much !
When I go to english school , I always drop by one of the coffee stall to drink suger cane .
I like to chat with stall's boss as well . He is very kind and friendly .
I tried making a suger cane .
It was really good experience for me .
Anyway the stall is behind greaat world city .
Let's try it .
Unfortunately the stall is going to move to other place next year .

By the way this is my favorite quotation from the book ! What do you think about this?

True intelligence is knowing what is appropriate rather than what is simply right or wrong .
A coin has two sides. We have never seen a one-sided coin. But all too often we forget that fact.
We often think the side we are on is the only side or the right side .
When we do that , we may be smart ,we may know our facts, but we also may be limiting our intelligence.

God gave us a right foot and a left foot . God did not give us a right foot and a wrong foot .
Humans make progress by first making a mistake to the right and then making a mistake to the left.
People who think they must always be right are like people with only a right foot.
They think they are making progress, but they usually wind up going in circles .

Thanks a lot !!

This is my first concert of Bossa Nova !


Guess what !I already knew that Aya san & Megu san would go to concert today at Esplanade Theatre
.Accidentally my evening class was canceled becase it was heavy rain . Luckily Ochisan gave me a rest for tonight .

As a matter of fact I and Minorusan quickly decided to go Lisa Ono's concert at 8 pm.
The reason why I decided it was Hidekisan' s storong advice of his experience about concert .
Actually It was really interesting and unexpected .
Anyway we enjoyed Bossa Nova music even though we only know 3songs of that !
Ecepecially the song's name 「Home town 」故郷 .
All in all , It was a wonderful tonight! By the way I 'll start studying about Discourse Markers from now .

Lisa Ono has long been considered Japan's finest protégé of Bossa Nova. An exceptional singer, accomplished guitarist and songwriter, she has collaborated with numerous legendary musicians from Tom Jobim to Toots Thielemans and Henri Salvador.

Her style and voice is reminiscent of the Brazilian divas, Astrud Gilberto and Gal Costa, while her delivery and tone are exquisite.

Lisa Ono's mastery of the natural, laid-back Bossa Nova sound received the stamp of approval from the late Antonio Carlos Jobim, with whom she had collaborated.

Her distinctive interpretation of materials is extraordinary, giving popular classics a fresh, new lease of life.

Happy wedding to Miityan & Okamo!
My best friends!!

物理学者のリチャード・ファイマンはこんな事を言っています。
 『数学や物理というのは、神様のやっているチェスを横から眺めて、
 そこにどんなルールがあるのか、どんな美しい法則があるのか、
 探していくことだ。』と。
 最初からそんな法則はないと思うことも出来ます。
この宇宙で起こっていることが全て、
でたらめで意味のない出来事の繰り返しばかりだとしたら、
数学者たちは、なにもすることがなくなってしまう。
そんな退屈な宇宙に住んでいること自体、嫌気がさしてしまう。
でも、みっちゃんはチェスの謎を解くことをあきらめませんでした。
おまけに、えりこさんの様な人と巡り会うことが出来た。
ひょっとしたら、人と人が出会うことも、
そのルールにのっとっているのかも知れません。
もし、そこに何かのルールがなかったら、
二人がどっかで出会っても、そのまますれ違って
関わり合うことも、言葉を交わすこともなかったはずなのに。
宇宙の片隅のこの会場で、僕たちがこうして集まることが出来たのも、
そして、僕たちがこんなにハッピーなのも、
みっちゃんが、たった一人の女性と巡り会ってくれたおかげです。
運命といういちばん難しい謎を、今日、彼が解いてくれたような気がします。
(おめでとう、)おめでとう。

What's this ? But it's funnier than I expected !




This is not American Idol, although it is quite clear that the gentleman in the video has an IDOL
in mind as he sings the famous " I will Survive " song Anyway , will he survive ?

at first i was afraid i was petrified
Kept thinking i could never live without you by my side
But then i spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And i grew strong and i learned how to get along
And now your back, from outta space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock i should have made you leave your key
If i'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now cuz your not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did ya think i'd crumble
Did ya think i'd crumble did ya think id lay down and die
Oh no not i, i will survive
Oh as long as i know how to love i know ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live ive got all my love to give
Ill survive i will survie hey hey
(music)
It took all the strength i had not to fall apart
And tried so hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And i spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now i hold my head up high
And you see me..somebody new,
Im not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now im saving all my loving for someone whos loving me
Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now cuz your not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Did ya think id crumble did ya think id lay down and die
Oh no not i i will survive
Oh as long as i know how to love i know ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live ive got all my love to give
Ill survive..i will survive ohh go on now go
Walk out the door just turn around now cuz your not welcome anymore
....continuing chorus......

My favorite



Recently I go to National library on Sunday evening . I like to stay there to study and relax.
Actually when I live in Japan I often go to library.
I like that kinds of atmosphere. There are different kinds of people , such as student ,couple , business man ,foreigner (me) . And It's good design of architecture. In my opinion, library stands for their own culture . Singapore's library is very modern and mixed various concept I guess . Last year I went to Melbourne . At that time I visited library as well . It was great . I felt like to stay there every day .
What do you think about nearby library ?

It's true


Do you wake up in the mornings looking forward to the day?
Do you always follow the same routine or do you find time to be spontaneous?
Do you know what you're going to be doing at the weekend?
Do you find that your life is passing you by without your really taking part in it?
Is there anything you'd rather be doing?
We are living at a time when everything is moving very fast.
Transport, technology, time, itself.
We can cross the world in a few hours, wa can communicate with friends on the
side of the planet in a matter of seconds and we can wake up and suddenly it's Friday again!
We're all busy making the money, working hard, saving up for next holiday,
for a rainy day, for our retirement, but how many of us actually enjoy the now?
We are encouraged to regret the past and dream about a better future.
We use endless conditionals to create the vision of perfection: if I lose a few kilos,
I'll change my image. If I stop smoking, I'll be able to save lots of money.
If I meet the (wo)man of my dreams, I'll be happy ,,,,,and on it goes.
But the reality is that we only have 'now'. After all, we don't know what will happen
tomorrow so we need to enjoy today. As the saying goes 'you only live once' ,,,,, or do you?

Junior Camp 最終日 ( 2 Weeks )






今日は、あいにくのお天気で1日中雨が降ったり止んだりで、クラス別の課題練習は残念ながらできませんでした。
選手達はその残念な気持ちを、体育館でのダッシュやリレーそして午後からはバトミントンチーム対抗戦のほうにぶつけている様子でした。みんな色々な内容のトレーニングに必死で取り組み、徐々にチームワークも養いながら見ていてとても清々しい光景の数々でした。
今回、Junior Canp 2週を終えて、選手達同様、我々コーチ陣も沢山の事を学び成長できたと思います。
明日からはまた通常のレッスンに戻りますが、常に選手と共に学ぶ姿勢を忘れる事無くレベルの向上を目指して行きたいと思います。
今回の参加選手のみなさん、コーチ達はみんなと素晴らしい時間を共に過ごす事ができて、最高に嬉しく思っています。
これからも頑張ろうね!そして保護者のみなさん、いつも暖かく見守って頂きありがとうございました。これからも宜しくお願い致します。 森博之

Junior Camp 4日目(2 Weeks )



今日キャンプ4日目は、昨日からの雨が心配されましたが、朝から快晴でいつもと同じようにスタートしました。昨日の午後、雨で練習ができなかった分を取り戻すかのごとく、バスが到着するやいなやみんな急いでコートに入り、自主練習を行っていました。とても素晴らしい光景に思えました。選手のみんなはこの先テニスを続けていく中で、色々な壁にぶち当たって悩んだり、辛い思いをする事が有るかもしれませんが、この今のテニスに対する溢れんばかりの情熱をいつまでも持ち続け、時には初心に戻って初めてナイスショットが打てた時の喜び、ライバルに勝つことができた時の快感をいつまでも追い求め続けて欲しいと思います。
とうとう明日はジュニアキャンプFinal Day になってしまいました。選手一人一人のキャンプ最終日に掛ける意気込みを見るのがとても楽しみです。みんな、楽しくそしてエキサイトしましょうね!

水曜日, 1月 04, 2006

Junior Camp3日目(2Weeks)



今日の午前中は、うなるような暑さで、選手のみんなはいつものように、ランニング、体操、縄跳び、素振り、フォア、バックの打点とフォーム、軌道イメージのチェクそしてコーディネーションマッチと、全体で行いました。選手達は、日ごとに上達して行く様子が顕著に現れ、自主的にどんどん行っていました。その後は、それぞれのクラスに分かれて課題練習、今回のキャンプではクラスごとに、ノートを管理し、練習のポイントや目標を記入し、毎回自分のテーマを持って課題練習に取り組んでいます。
午後は久々の大雨で、大ホールに場所を移動し、縄跳び選手権と大縄跳び、最後にはレクリエーションゲームを行いました。
それぞれとても楽しい思い出ができた事と思います。

火曜日, 1月 03, 2006

Junior Camp 2日目 ( 2Weeks )

今日も朝から快晴、日差しがジリジリと照りつける中、29名の選手達が一生懸命テニスの練習に汗、時には涙を流していました。
キャンプは、日頃の1時間半のレッスンと違い、全体の中で、縄跳びやラリー、そしてポイントマッチなどを競い合い、チャンピオンとして勝ち残る事の素晴らしさとその反面、勝負の厳しさや味わった事の無い緊張感を経験する事ができるとてもいい機会だと思っています。29人の中で最後まで勝ち残った選手は、とても良い笑顔をしていました。将来この中の一人でも多くの選手が、本番の大会で今日と同じような笑顔を見せてくれる事を期待して、明日も頑張りたいと思います。保護者のみなさんそして河野さん、毎日のようにご声援誠に有り難うございます。

Junior Camp 初日 (2 weeks )


みなさん、明けましておめでとうございます。今年も宜しくお願いします。
2006年のビッグイベントSTA Junior Camp ( 2Weeks )がスタートしました。今日も一週目に引き続き天気は良好で、素晴らしい
スタートが切れました。2週目は彩コーチも加わりコーチ3人体制、そして参加選手もなんと30人と、かなりのビックイベントになりました。今回のチャンギビーチクラブは非常にコンディションが良く最大コート4面進行が可能なので、基礎、基本そして実践練習とバラエティ豊かな内容を予定しています。選手のみんな、どんどんレベルアップして行きましょうね!
今日は彩コーチ、見莉コーチ、そして私、森コーチの3つにクラス分けを行いました。このキャンプでは、まず全体で基本の確認、(見て学ぶ事)を行い、その後クラス別でテーマ演習(スキルアップの徹底)を行うようにしています。
テニスは個人スポーツなので、コーチと一対一でも、もちろん練習は可能ですが、選手達にとってはこのような大人数、まるで試合会場のような場で、ライバルを見つけたり、上のレベルのプレーを見て学ぶ事は、とても良い経験になると思います。
明日も選手一人一人にとって、よりリアルで素晴らしい環境を作ってあげたいと思います。
