Failure story

We often heard about success stories of someone else; someone who has succeeded of course. Then we also heard successful person went through some rough paths or difficulties. Often time we don't comprehend why failure occurs albeit with all the necessary preparation done. Like God of Job, He won't tell us why is this happening. But in long run there is goodness, which we may not see it now.

My second attempt on a scholarship for post-graduate study didn't end up well. The first time I didn't fill up the form properly. This time I got through until the interview stage. Unfortunately it's a no.
Talking about failure story, a friend of mine who attended an airline interview months ago, all the way in Singapore, ended up with the same fate. Again, God of Job won't oblige to give explanation.


SY gave a hint: Look at Israelite. God provided manna but they have to go out to get it. They need to work.

So it's not too bad actually. Probably God of Job is doing something.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
