September has been
quite a crazy month
i wrote the summary post for Aug
on 28th before flying
thinking that’s a wrap
*
but got a very
urgent and huge volume task
that i started doing quotation
immediately right after
i landed at Bao’an airport
*
so I basically kicked start September
in Foshan & Guangzhou
with some crazy deadlines for
some crazy volume
*
on top of some
sightseeing around the cities
*
well
i feel my lovely apartment
with view from the 18th floor
at Foshan has gone wasted
*
not really
at least a good environment
provides me with enough
motivation to work fast
*
kinda imagine that
i am living the
upper middle class life
with the best view in town
*
then some quiet days passed
until my next trip on 16 Sept
left with a pretty
tedious task to start with
*
names for 1300+
districts and sub districts nationwide
*
can you imagine
for a word (district name)
i have to perform up to
4 rounds of search on
a local daily, news agency, Wiki
as well as general search
*
it was so much work that
Google started to suspect that
i am a robot and damn
their test got harder and harder
can you imagine
opening 5 tabs just to look up a word
*
i have asked for extra payment
but i don’t think it actually
fully compensate me for
the days and nights spent
doing continuous research
*
and half of these
were done at Krabi
facing the pool at the balcony
battling mosquito
*
as my travel partner
can’t sleep with light on
not even dim light
and i felt guilty
seeing her walking up and down
on the first night
*
so i ended up working
at the balcony with
the glass door fully closed as
the aircon will automatically
turn off if it’s left opened
*
i got a little mad
i mean how inconsiderate
can a travel mate be
*
so i ended up
working, blogging, eating and even
enjoying my mask in my bralette
*
day and night
without entering the room
unless it was necessary
*
in a review written for them
i mentioned that
i don’t mind working
in the balcony really
except the mosquito bites
which is not their fault
*
and the GM actually
replied to my review
omg, they are really that good
*
then a few days after Krabi
made a trip to KL
to meet up with
college mates
*
had work but
decided to leave it
as i was only away for a night
*
in fact i worked as early as 5 AM
before i left home
and came back next day by 2 PM
to continue working
*
on that particular Sunday
i finished work at 1 AM
so after rounds and rounds of
crazily busy rush
*
towards the end of the month
i was completely shattered
taking nap at random hours
as long as I wasn’t working
*
but it nevertheless felt good
as i did a rough calculation on
my accumulated sale as of
end of September and
found out that
i wasn’t far from
hitting last year’s sales
*
as long as things go
smoothly steadily stably
for the final 3 months
before we wrap Dec
*
i wrote a WeChat Moment:
As far as I would say that
i enjoy what i am doing right now,
financial motivation of course
plays a part.
Final quarter of the year, and
i am going all out in chasing figures.
How the hell do you think I can
afford (low cost) flight tickets,
white kicks, and so much more…
When in doubt,
book a (two-way) ticket and
you’ll find whatever it takes to
get back to work.
*
this must be the most serious ever
WeChat Moment I have written
but thanks I got zero like for that
*
anyway
seriously
i am serious about this
