Transitional

April Summary:
I was involved with the autoshow this month, helped out at Weistmeist*r and Cad*llac, bc of the event, I didn't have to stick in the old office, I freely was able to go anywhere as long as I clocked the hours and do any work given to me. I felt very liberated and not have to be stuck in an office chair for 8 hours. In this month, I finished Witcher 3 and Zanki Zero and have decided to take a break in hardcore gaming. I was able to recollect myself over time without being consumed by gaming. With so much more free time, I was able to slowdown, do some planning. Final event was Inn*sfree, and I spent my final 2 days in the old office. It's the end of my employment in China.

I will be tracking how my time will be spent over the month of May, not going back so soon. Hopefully I'm able to spend it well.

1 May, Labour day: The first half of the day I volunteered for Family Day, it was all right. Left around 2pm, reached home 3pm, was very tired and so I took a nap. The rest of the evening I didn't feel too well.
2 May, Cleaned my room a little bit, a bit too much time went into cleaning out my keyboard, spent time learning japanese and violin. In the evening I went to Hongqiao Tiandi just to leave the house a bit. Walked around, ate japanese food, bought some shirts then went home.
3 May, Took my time in the morning, spent time online really, then in the evening I attend a language mix social activity, it was a pretty bad time. Left a little early and went home.
4 May, Took my time in the morning, spent time online again, was browsing the net thinking about a visit to Huangshan, then in the later afternoon I went out for another Meetup, couldn't find the place, I gave up and went to Global Harbor, spent time in the arcade, had ramen, then went home.

Mid Jan, one-nine

11th (Fri) - Whenever I try to remember what happened at the office, I draw a blank. This is probably where most of my life goes to waste? with nothing happening that leaves no memory, it feels like I skipped over those times to get to where I am now?
Cellgroup in the evening, had very tasty taco, but was super expensive. About 6 of us that evening.
12th (Sat) - Chill in bed, headed out near noon for kids worship practise. Learnt a kids chinese song. Afterwards went to the nearby mall and shop a little bit. Went home and played games.
13th (Sun) - Went to church early, kids worship went well despite little time to practise. Dimsum lunch after church. Went home and played game?
14th (Mon) - Normal day, rushed BSF homework before BSF class that evening. Slept late playing Crash game.
15h (Tue) - Normal day, quick shopping after work and grocery for dinner. I think I should have let the rice steamed longer to cook the vegetable, carrot was still a bit hard. Vege was a bit bland.

Into the first month

I finally booked my ticket to go home, I had to do myself, but chances were that I could have had the office book it for me instead. I hope future me properly reimburse the flight tickets.
A winter jacket I ordered came out all right and fits just right, phew.

4th (Fri) - Friday night company annual dinner, for the raffle, my number was the first to be called out, that was a little surprising. The people in the next table smoked like a chimney, I was suffocating and went outside time to time to get away from the smoke. This year's annual dinner was a bit quieter.
5th (Sat) - Finally met up with a acquaintance of my dad. Singaporean lady, turns out she knew my boss and also same church. Shocking. We had singapore lunch and looked around a supermarket a bit before I went home.
6th (Sun) - Church as usual, sermon was about prayer. Said hi to the lady of yesterday. Had lunch with 2 people from CG at takashimaya. Ate at Taiwanese restaurant. Went home.

A look back over the year.

Wow, a whole year past since I decided to blog weekly to keep track of my activities.

When I find a free time, I need to reflect back on my posts to see how I have lived in 2018 and decide how I should move forward in 2019, and continue to blog here and keep track weekly. Perhaps I should set a proper goal this time?

25th (Tue) - Got ill on Christmas evening, ate porridge for dinner, felt like crap when tring to sleep.
26th-29th (Wed-Sat) - Long weekday, went to work and back with nothing of note, came home played either monster hunter, PUBG, or SSBU. slept later every time, which was bad, difficult to get out of bed every morning. Felt extremely lazy and unmotivated during the day. Tried to skipped out of work during lunch.
30th (Sun) - Church in the morning, ramen lunch, and watched Into the Spiderverse. Skipped dinner that evening.
31st (Mon) - Woke up 12pm, PC a little while, being lazy in bed until 3pm, was thinking about doing a little shopping close by but failed. Ended up mostly staying at home. Went to a steakhouse for new year eve dinner, was dissapointed, went to papa john's for a quick quesadilla, and then starbucks for cake and hot choco.
1st Jan (Tue) - Was expecting brunch today, but was cancelled. Was also invited to watch Aquaman, but I thought the place to meet was too far. Stayed at home instead. Played some MHW until 5:30pm, went out to do my little shopping. Ate okay dinner, came home and played more MHW, finished early and slept a little later than planned.
