how on earth it took me so long to write this
but not that bad right
this is actually the 2nd Sunday of August
*
how would i describe July
fast but slow at the same time
*
1st week was pretty slow
struggling to move on
from the trough during June
*
but it was overall okay
at least I have billed in something
before flying off to Tokyo on 7 July
which fell on a weekend
with zero workload to start with
*
the entire week at Tokyo
was smooth sailing
the best perk of solo travel
work and play at my pace
*
so I mostly work in the morning
and go out after noon
and continue/start again
in the evening if required
*
on the night before
my day trip to Kamakura
i was racing with time
with a large volume task
*
so the day trip kinda acted as a motivation
i finally managed to finish
and went out by 12
without sacrificing the day trip
*
and on the day after
i could totally went with
a super slow pace
*
like waking up pretty late and
worked all the way until 3
went out at 4 and
returned by midnight
*
i remember during my post for June
was lamenting over my bad luck
of how i missed a task
simply because i read the email
7 minutes late
*
but it seemed that this month
luck was on my side
so i went for a concert
on a Friday evening
*
and there was no signal
on my portable WiFi
in the underground venue
*
but oh man
the concert was too great
*
i had no time to worry
and my battery died
while snapping Shibuya’s Crossing
*
but thank goodness
the client waited
as I had worked on the previous batch
the one I was racing against time
a couple of days ago
*
no sleep on a Friday night
and i had to ask for an extension
for a task I didn’t manage to finish
*
packing done by 3 AM
caught the earliest train by 5 AM
flight at 10 AM
*
well getting an extension is one thing
i still had to get it done
on a Saturday
well… half done on the place
battery died ><
*
and half done
on the floor at the airport
as i found power supply there
*
and third week of July was
really crazy that
i have got no time for
post-vacation blue
*
audio transcription
over 2 weeks
6 videos
1-1:30 hours each
which took me
1-1.5 days each
*
and i had to take a break
after 1 video done
not exactly a break
like working on something else
to get the “voice” out of my mind
before i can start over again
*
and hiccup happened
7 hours of unsaved work
took me another 2 hour
to redo everything
and finished the complete file
by 3 AM
*
that kind of stress
i was undergoing
so i decided to go for another concert
to be exact a 2-day music festival
featuring the same artist and more
*
a small 3 day 2 night vacation
waking up in Malaysia at 13 °C
is not something you experience everyday
*
and the month ended in
another round of busyness
this post is so long huh
and it took me so long
looking for pictures
it felt so long ago
*
anyway the month ended good
highest sale since the year started
in fact since last April
*
