Wake Me Up X When September Ends: ZzZzz…

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

Hello, Foshan :)

*

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

Google robot test

*

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

mde

*

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

Betagen, cheers

*

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

Holiday Inn Express Aonang, Krabi

*

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

*
