Seems like I've been randomly spending money without really realising it, I've already depleted my withdrawal for this month. Some notes of where my money went:
My cousin from Melbourne visited me on Tuesday, I decided to treat him to dinner.
I bought a drawing tablet, God of War(just arrived ytd), that Muji shirt, and probably ate pricy food...
It was another slow week, I finished my games, so I didn't had much to do in my free time. Occasionally played Starbound, or just surf the web.
Friday was CG as usual, had chicken dinner. But Saturday was particularly awful, I really had nothing to do, I fired up some old steam games, but I was already done with them and it brought nothing new. I finally played AkibaStrip which had been in my backlog for quite some time, but it wasn't a fun game... I'm not sure how i made it through the day, out of the extreme boredom I spontaneously bought a ticket to see Skyscraper in a nearby cinema around dinner time.
Sunday was all right though, after church, I suggested we go to Global Harbour for lunch, after lunch we spent time at the arcade, which was a lot of fun.
Monday came and I finally got the motivation to book accommodation for my upcoming Sapporo trip. I also checked out the map and familiarised myself a little with the public transport.
It was a real rough week, I kept putting off things I needed to do and I just didn't want to do anything at all, all the free time also made me think too much and made myself sad. I struggled a lot with temptation this week too. I live in the house of the Lord now, a King has made a home for me in His castle.

A cool summer so far
This week, work continues in the office, no events yet. Being in the office makes the day feels long, so I have to change how I feel and I need to adapt better.
To summarise my work in the office this week, there were mainly 3 things I did: Preparing a PPT of our company staff's CV for coming events; Drawing resolution diagrams for ChongQing event; And fooling around with AutoCAD exercises.
In my free time after work, it's the usual, I caught up on some new seasonal anime, and played mostly A Hat in Time and Starbound. I've also finally finished Trails in the Sky SC.
Friday we had CG at Helen's place.
Saturday, had a relaxing day, started my day nice and slow. After a while, I got back to playing Hat in Time until dinner time. Went out for dinner for a change, stopped by the ATM, ate at Ajisen, then bought a few things at Carrefour. Had art inspiration during dinner. When I got home, I started drawing King Evan as Punished Snake, I felt that the two games operate in very similar ways.
Served on Sunday Church this week. Had an amazing lunch at Mocha Bros. Bought a shirt at Muji.
I also just bought a drawing tablet for the lulz. Hope it's good.

Forgetting again
Last week, was well...
Work as a whole was slow this week, there wasn't really much to do from Mon to Thu, I only remembered I compiled photos of recent events and sometimes draw plans of out warehouse. On Fri, outta nowhere I was told had to come earlier than usual because clients were coming over and I'm needed for standby. Our company was demonstrating different types of LED screens, seems they didn't test all the videos, some of them were not the right format and didn't play.
On Sat, there was a seminar at the church office, I arrived a little late. It was about being Unshaken, and the seminar center around the story of Joseph and his brothers, from the book of Genesis.
I spent a lot of my free time playing Ni No Kuni 2, I've just finished it but left out some endgame side quests which were a bit too demanding for items only obtainable by dungeon crawling very very deep inside.
Even after God delivered the Israelites from their enemies, they still forgot God.
Seems like I forgot my own advice in the last post. (I've forgotten many important things in life as well.) I spent too much time staring at screens. I have to be careful I don't regret anything before the year ends.

2018, 1-out-of-2
The second half of the year has now begun.
Over the past week was the MWCS that happened over...
27th (We) - The first day of the event, a bit of hiccup at the beginning, but nothing serious. I didn't had much to do but standby during the whole event, so I spent time walking around the exhibition, the nearby mall, occasionally listen in to their talks, and played a lot of Trails in the Sky.
28th (Th) - Same as the day before, but that evening, I went to Henry's place to do CG core meeting (forgot to bring my PSV).
29th(fr) - Last day, I discovered they had wifi the whole time... so I spent my free time catching up on WWE. That evening was combined CG, seems like we weren't allowed to do regular CG things, so we just had buffet and games.
Long awaited weekend...
30th (Sa) - I somehow agreed to go to the AmCham Independence Day celebration with some CG members... It was raining the whole time I was there, the food was disappointing, it was pretty expensive too. Regret. Got to relax the rest of the day at home. Burnt out!
Jul 1st (Su) - Church as usual, but I was late... South East Asian lunch (delish), and just played Ni No Kuni 2 the rest of the day.
Thoughts: After a super busy June, I should spend this week collecting my thoughts and realign myself to focus on what's important. I have to careful about wasting too much time on the screen too. I've got some serious cleaning to do first...

Super late blogging pt.2
4 days trip to KL over Raya/ Dragon Boat Festival...
June 15 (Fr) - I arrived KL in the wee hours, took the skybus to 1U and met up with Ray, we then watch Jurassic World 2. It was, okay. We went back to his place to put my stuff down and met with Ed to have dinner, and yamcha at Uptown.
June 16 (Sa) - We went swimming in the compound in the morning. We did grocery shopping after. Apparently it was Pokemon Go community day, as we passed by Uptown, a lot of people were playing Pokemon Go. For dinner, we went to eat Bakuteh (delish). In the evening, Ray had his freelance work, so I was just chilling in his home. We watched anime or played games in between. I also cleaned their oven.
June 17 (Su) - Woke up late morning, we spent the day in Sunway Pyramid. Lunch was filling and very cheesy, we even had cheese drink after. We walked all over the mall that day. After we went back, we all just chilled for a bit. For dinner, I cooked for everyone.
June 18 (Mo) - In the morning, we sent of Roselle to work, there was no traffic that day, so we had time to have breakfast. We went back, played games until lunch time, we had A&W, and continued to waste the day away until it was time to go to 1U, where I took the skybus back to the airport, and flew back to Shanghai overnight.
June 19 (Tu) - I was a zombie, arrived at Shanghai 5am, and took the subway home, and went to work as usual.
June 20-22(Fr) - Nothing much, just preparation for the MWCS in Pudong.
June 23(Sa) - had to go to XTD to fix projection... there goes half my Saturday.
June 24(su) - went to church early to serve in media. Went straight to Pudong after church for work
Until today, I've been working on MWCS, sifting through videos and arranging them.

Super late blogging pt.1
Last post was June 8?? It didn't felt THAT long... however, I'll just recap as usual.
Working in Pudong...
June 9 (Sa) - I took too long to blog, I think I've already forgotten what I did this day... all I know is..
June 10 (Su) - ...that I skipped church this Sunday, it didn't felt good, felt like I should have gone. Instead I stuck at home, took my time waking up and played games all day I believe.
June 11(Mo) - I believe this is the first work day for the CES event in Pudong. I arrived after lunch and remembered it was particularly hot that day. I spent a lot of time waiting, as the projectors were not ready to be adjusted yet.
June 12 (Tu) - I think I spent the whole day in Pudong, a lot of it spent waiting as the team rehearse over and over. It didn't take me long to finish my part, but I had to wait for everyone else
June 13 (We) - This was suppose to be the final day of me working on CES. It was also the first day of the 3 day event. After making sure the projector was all good to go. I went all the way home to relax for about 2 hours and travelled back to Pudong again for more tweaking (the crew were going to readjust the lighting or something on the truss, so the projectors will be affected). Seems they'll take a while, I was told I could adjust it tomorrow morning instead.
June 14 (Th) - I woke early to go to Pudong, adjusted the projectors' alignment within 10mins, and went back home, wow. Before I headed home, a quick stop to Starbucks and some bakery. I remember it being rather relaxing that day. For dinner, I treated myself to a nice western meal, pork ribs and draft beer. I went to the airport that night. Everything just went smoothly.

Late Blogging
I've been slacking off on my weekly blog, best I get right to it. I'm gonna try a new format to simplify my post and just note the key things that happened in that past week(s).
Since the 22nd of May,
25th (Fri) - CG that evening marks the 1st time it being held at Jenny's place, we'll be having CG here for a while during Kushay's absence. Had Tacobell for dinner but for some reason it doesn't feel so special or memorable any more.
26th (Sat) - In my sad mood, I'd completely forgotten about a tennis game I was suppose to go to. I had hoped it will rain that day so I didn't have to go. I felt quite bad.
27th (Sun) - Serve as video director in church, despite haven't done so in a while, I still remembered everything. After church, I went to core group meeting.
29th (Tue) - A good break from the office, had work in XTD this day instead. Was very simple work and I enjoyed it. After I set up the media files for the event, I spent the rest of the hours playing my PSV until the event was over.
1st June (Fri) - No CG today, we had social night. It was all right, I was not impressed with Joe's pizza though, especially since we ordered such basic toppings like hawaiian and pepperoni. We mostly played Gracie's WiiU, being the only gamer I pretty much dominated everyone lol.
2nd (Sat) - After getting out of bed in the later morning, I didn't had much time for myself, had to go for worship practise for kids church at 1pm. The practise itself wasn't very long, I decided to have lunch nearby (a disappointing roast chicken breast) then head home for the rest of the day.
3rd (Sun) - Served in kids church today and attended service as usual. After church there was a short briefing regarding TEC event next week. I suppose the sandwich which was provided was my lunch. After that, a few of us went to RafflesCity to hang out, had coffee and waffle, then we watched Solo Star Wars movie, which was okay but nothing notable.
6th (Wed) - I got to go to XTD for work again, any work outside the office is always refreshing.
Looking at the above, it kinda sucks nothing really happens on work day, it's too mundane, and I don't care enough the stuff that's going on at the office. During the past weeks, most of my work involve drawing and updating plans for upcoming events in Shanghai. Currently, they are CES and GSMA.
Games played:
Trails of the Sky SC, Ni No Kuni 2, Rayman Legends, Heroes of the Storm
