Tanaka-san's Welcome Party


Yesterday, we held a welcome party for Tanaka-san.
The newest addition to the Addtech family. He now sits in the chair that used to be occupied by my previous groupmate Masuda-san. Masuda-san got transferred to Renesas. All of the 6th floor people came except for Lu. I ask a lot of questions that night which includes stuff like age, hobbies, favorite actress, civil status. Here are their answers as far as I can remember:
Nishino-san: He did not say his age but he said "I'm not young!". (Me too, we two were probably the two oldest people in that table.) His hobbies include watching plays. He's also interested in photography and sometimes he brings a camera along to take pictures. He does sports through console games(hehehehe). His favorite actress is Meg Ryan.
Sakakibara-san: 24(kotoshi 25) He used to like Pachinko but now he doesn't do it anymore because he has no time. His favorite actor is Nicholas Cage. I wasn't able to catch his favorite actress though, he went out ahead of us to go to the hospital.
Tanaka-san: 20. I couldn't quite catch who was his favorite actress but he said he liked the girl from american idol. I mentioned Carried Underwood first but he said no. When I mentioned Kelly Clarkson, he thinks that's probably her name. He likes anime specially Macross Zero New Frontier.
Sugihara-san:26. His hobby is playing volleyball. He plays in a tournament the whole day on Sundays and dates his girlfriend on Saturday. (This guy is good at speaking english and he is talkative too.) He likes the girl in winter sonata, Choi Ji Woo.
Sugiura-san: 24. He likes to play PC Games. He plays around 4 hours a day and claims that he doesn't need sleep. :P His favorite games include counterstrike. He also likes anime and his favorite actress is Milla Jovovich.
Hirai-san:20 He likes anime, bikes (though he doesn't do racing). He also likes Daniel Radcliffe from Harry Potter. He didn't mention that he like Emma Watson though. (This guy could be ***. Maybe he really is with the reply he gave!)
They said the most famous foreign actors in Japan are Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Arnold Schwarznegger.
That night Sugihara-san shared about his Filipino friend Ryan who is a project leader in Fujitsu Ten.
He described Ryan as playboy. He recalled Ryan saying that he liked many women.
