https://www.t-kis.net/2023/01/01/2023-target/KPT format is  getting my standard to make retrospective for the year. So this time continues same way.Keep Expanding my tech knowledge as part of job and enjoying work itself. So keep this good momentum.Problem Due to busy in work, I could not ride road-bicycle a lot and no time to practice violin.  need to reconsider how I can maintain those hobbies under current life style. a bit fail to make good capital gain. need to consider approach for asse...

This is a regular post for me to start new year. Usually writing just before opening new year. This year is same, now 23:30 31th Dec 24.

Keep

• Re-started violin lesson finally. Even time could be allocated to practice is limited, but I will continue to do. My goal for this is  to play The Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043. still not sure when I can play this. but never give up!
• Challenged cycling event in Shimanani 2024 as I posted to here. a bit challenging to keep motivation in Winter and Summer, instead of outside ride, try to go indoor ride in Gym as much as possible.

Problem

• Even I wrote this in 2024 target, but could not make a good progress in 2024. Still sometime feels not enough vocabulary in English conversation, especially with English native colleagues. as business conversation, no issue for me and business, but I would like to use more natural phase in any case. I know it’s a bit touch for non-native people, but it’s worth to try. 

Try

• As part of my business, I would like to try new things what I can do right now. Not only for learn uncovering technology, also explore new way to spread technologies to more friends. 

Since recently well busy, no waste time in my daily life, so it’s not easy to do more new thing, so will brash up and enhance what I’m doing now as continued  challenges to be next stage. 

Since our life has been backing to normal like before covid 19, so working in office, having drinking after work, traveling world etc. One of the habit I got during covid 19 is road bike cycling that I started when I lived in Singapore. It must help to keep my heath. 

Because weather in Japan is very widely changed as season, it’s not easy to maintain my motivation to keep riding in Summer and Winter…. Also backing to normal life, gradually getting far from riding life. 

But luckily got chance to join “CYCLING SHIMANAMI 2024” which is International casual cycling event on a world-class cycling course. I cycled around the area in 2021, but it’s first time  for me to join the such kind of cycling event. Even it’s not racing, there are some time limitation since we can ride on expressway around Shimanami islands. I felt some pressure by time limitation, but successfully passed all of the gates and accomplished the course (65km from Imabari to Mukaishima) with my bike (Bianch Olter XR3).

It’s so valuable experience and fully enjoyed expressway ride with magnificent scenery around Shimanami islands.

It’s season for Sakura (Cherry blossoms). In Tokyo, unfortunately raining day  has been continued after cherry blossoms started. So it’s a bit tough to see sakura in peak time, but I could captured some good sights in several place. 

• Meguro River (Tokyo)
• Roppongi Midtown(Tokyo)
• Hanaki River (Hiratsuka, Kanagawa pref)

I picked up some to here, hope you can enjoy seasonal awesome and fantastic sakura photos.

After a few weeks, I realised sound quality of M2 MacBook Air is relatively great than M1 MacBook Air. Somehow sounds are coming from monitor. I was surprised to see build in speaker on M2 MacBook Air are at hinge as attached photo.
That’s why I felt that sounds are coming from monitor, it means the sound from speaker has been reflected on monitor. 

At same time, number of build in speaker are double (from 2 to 4) and are supporting Dolby Atoms. Playing some music on Apple Music are compatible with Dolby Atoms. So I could feel good quality sounds as spatial one.
