I didn't spend my free time at the venue wisely...
22nd (Thu) was showday. I just coop up at the back as I always do. After the show ended late at night I was sort of forced to stay overnight at the venue waiting for my colleagues to set up the main area after the 1st night show, it took them all night. I found a couch somewhere and tried to sleep till morning (23rd, Fri). I did my part, stuck around until 1pm and went home to shower and relax.
24th (Sat), I arrive 10am and cooped up at the back until evening and headed for thanksgiving dinner, I stopped by a supermarket to buy apple juice. Had Thanksgiving dinner then went home.
25th (Sun), Served media at church, Had lunch at nearby bagel shop, went home to play monster hunter.
26th (Mon), Back to office as usual, trying to sort things out. Time to do some reflection and get ready to return home this weekend.

Early Nov, no brakes

29/10 - 4/11 on the Monday I finally returned to BSF and had a great meal. On Tuesday I decided to attend a meetup to play board games, I got to meet some new people but the board game was a bit draggy, the burrito was amazing though. Wednesday had CG retreat committee. Thursday, finally a break, and Friday had CG as usual. (Wow, day time is just work so nothing noteworthy at all).
Saturday was suppose to be a work day, but I took a day-off and went for kids church practise, had lunch and generally relax at home afterwards. Sunday came, I passed a guitar to a new friend to practise and served at kids church, I should get into drums one day. We had lunch at Moka Bros and then I headed home.

5/11 onwards,
This Monday was suppose to be a holiday because of the Import Expo, but instead I had to go to Beijing for a Italian jewelry event. As expected, security was high around the expo center, took slightly longer to reach the railway station. I departed in the mid afternoon and caught up on Deltarune on the train. I arrived without trouble, headed to the hotel, explored the surrounding area, had dinner and went to bed as work hasn't started.
Tuesday to Thursday is setting up the video and lots and lots of waiting and some rehearsal. Show began Thursday night.
Friday, woke up, had good omellete and headed back to Shanghai. Arrived back later in the afternoon, put luggage back home, prepare some ppt slides and headed to CG. Spent almost all of Saturday playing Mario Odyssey and some MHW. Sunday was a work day, sad, in the evening went for retreat committee meeting.

end of Dis

RuiAn work ended on a Sunday and I returned to office come Monday until Thursday, working on Roewe show for next week. On Friday I was scheduled to go to Suzhou, so I stayed home during the day and departed in the evening.

Suzhou event (19th-26th):

As expected, after I arrived I didn't had anything to do for at least 2 days, instead I was given the task to get a bunch of laptops and OS updated and ready. After that, for the next 4-5 days my work started, but only at night. I slept early in the morning and had free time during the afternoon until night. In my free time I checked out surrounding area, played Majora Mask 3DS and generally killing time on the internet.

On show day (26th), I needn't stick around for the show, after I finished my part in the morning, I immediately ask my company to book a ticket back to Shanghai in the early afternoon and checked out as soon as I could. I returned Shanghai and relaxed the rest of the afternoon, playing some Spider-man before I headed out to CG in the evening. During CG we did a skit. After CG, I went home and slept for about 11hrs and 30mins.

Sat: Woke up almost noon, immediately got ready and headed out to Shanghai Comic Convention, it was all right, not very big but a lot of cool figures to look at. I finished around 3pm and had some free time, so I decided to go to the Miku Expo happening that day instead of Sunday. I arrived and bought a ticket, spent time looking around and participate in the mini event, chat up with other fans and met the American running the fan website. 7:30pm came and the concert began, it finished at 9:30pm and I went straight home after.

Sun: Woke up early to serve for today's service. After that was left behind and I had to travel to the lunch place myself. Had lunch, had coffee afterwards, then I went home. At home, caught up with some anime and played MWH.

Mission failed again, is there a next time?

Change is tough.

Since the last blog, there was a few days of work before I flew back to KK again. I was given quite a bit of work to do.

Then I flew back to KK again on Sept 29th. To summarize my trip, I tried plenty of burgers, spent a lot of time with popo, brother had the mattresses specially cleaned, went to see choir with Ivan, played some switch games, some pokemon go here and there, and terrible dates. Went to see the dentist (no problems!), hung out with aaron and his wife, cooked tikka masala at home. I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary.

On the 9th, I returned Shanghai and things pick up too soon imo. Immediately, it was fashion week in XTD, a short runway show I was occupied with for 2 days, followed by RuiAn work which was too simple and had me coming over during the weekend.

Mission fail, we'll get 'em next time

17th (mon) - back to work as usual, with travelling back home in my mind, at night I attended BSF, my first class on the 2nd week of the new topic/series.

18th-19th - I thought I might be occupied in prepation after work, but nothing's really changed really.

20th - after work, I packed my stuff for the next day.

21st - I headed to the office first, helped out my colleagues, had lunch. At 2pm, I headed home on a bike and bus. I spent a few minutes at home, then took my things and headed out to the airport. I made it on the airport bus on time, there was a bit of traffic and I learnt that my flight had been delayed. I reach the airport, print my boarding pass and went through custom without trouble. I had BK and sat around the terminal watching anime waiting for my flight. I got on the plan after a 2hr+ delay. Flight was okay, and I arrived home late.

22nd (Sat) - It was pokemon community day. In the morning I spent some time with my grandma. Around 9.30am I went out with friend for big breakfast, got a simcard then we went to the park to catch Chikoritas. We spent about 3 hours there, walking around and meeting other pokemon trainers, after that we went for a quick lunch nearby. After lunch, we raided a Mewtwo and I went home. I relaxed a bit and prepared to go for a Lions anniversary dinner. It went on long and I met a new friend. After that I went home to change and hung out summore with friend at Upperstar.

23rd (Sun) - I took my siblings and grandma out for dimsum breakfast, then I went to church. After church, had lunch at Pusas, played some overcooked2. Went to Suria afterwards, bought a new game, hung out there for a while. Then I sent my friends back and went home. At home, my cousins came over, I talked with them and we played cards with my grandma. My fmaily and I then went to Lido for dinner, then I went to watch The Predator with brother and some friends.

24th (Mon) - Today was suppose to be my last chance... but the time I was given felt limited. I really just took my time relaxing today. There was oily dough so I had that for breakfast. Then I just hung around the house and made preparation, I think I was scared to confront my grandma. Lunch time came around, I had lunch at home with my grandma, after that I just spent time talking with her. Then my mum came home and we took her for dialysis. I got to learn more about the current situation. After that we went home, I spent time on my mom's laptop, clearing away stuff and found some old files. My sis came home and we went to pick up grandma, stop by home again then we went to T.aru for dinner, was good. After dinner we went home, I prepared my things and went to the airport to return to Shanghai. There was no delay.

25th (Tue) I arrived on time, took a cab home, slept a couple of hours then went to work. I can't believe I reverted to my old lifestyle so quickly, when I'm trying to make a change...

A final prep

13th/14th (th/fri) - Back to working in the office as usual. Decided to stop playing games for a while, but ended up being distracted online all the time anyways. Had CG on friday, sudden change of venue last minute back to How’s place instead of Jenny's. Had new interns that came to our CG.

15th (sa) - Had breakfast then headed out before noon for kids worship practise. After that I went home and binge on HxH

16th (su) - Woke up 3.30am, imsonia, was awake until I head out to church at 7:15am. Served in kids worship today and helped out a little with serve-fest. Met a few new people.

Going back home this friday. From today until then, I need to focus on my preparation.
