A Happy New Year!!
(Jan.01 2004)


Shohei Wish You a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!

BUT.....
I bought 30,000Yen of "Year-End Jumbo Lottery tickets..(100tickets!!)
The 1st prize is 300,000,000Yen!!
I thought I bought a "Jumbo Dream Ticket" to become a bilionaire!!

The resault was.....I won only 16,000Yen....
1ticket won 10,000Yen
1ticket won 3,000Yen
10 tickets won 300Yen..

My "Jumbo-Dream" was only 16,000yen...
I guess I have to work hard again this year....
C'est la vie....


10,000Yen ticket!!


3,000Yen ticket!!


Ten 300Yen tickets...


Lots of blank tickets...

On the New Year's Day..I went to Honmonji for the first pray...
and I bought a "fortune slip" to predict my luck for this year...
Oh No....
I got "Kyou" wich means "bad luck" or "misfortune"....
It says "My wish never comes true...."
and.."There is always a burden in front of me"....

Oh what a way to start a New Year....
BUT, I hope I will be laughing at the end of this year...
and you too!!


This is my fortune slip!!


If you can read Japanese...
Oh..I don't want to read....
