以往的這段時間
聖誕到新年
都是比較 chill 的
*
今年有點意外
一路忙到 31 號
*
上禮拜回來
冬眠了幾天後
終於用得上了
*
昨晚一路到 2 點
然後 4 點起來
不小心睡回去
所以 5 點才開工
*
總算把今天的事
都如期搞定了
*
明天還有一個
剛做了一半多一點
其實做了一半
就很容易預留明天的時間
*
就剩下另外 50％ 或更少嘛
就 assume 明天必須
以同樣長的時間來做
但是第二部分肯定來的比較快
所以這樣比較保險
*
按照這個預算
明天最好能 5 到 6 點之間開工
所以 拜
*
昨天我好好朋友
在本市結婚
應該也是我近十年或以上
在本市出席的一個婚禮
*
開心 開心
*
工業風的場地
其實還蠻舒服的
而且巧妙規劃成
3个不同的區域
*
好了
我決定好了
如果我有生之年會結婚
就辦在迪士尼吧
*
就算沒賓客
路人也會送上祝福吧
或者那些活跳跳的玩偶
哈哈 還有白雪公主的後母
*
想到都好high
靈感來源請見：
https://www.vogue.com.tw/article/content-50076
*
還是不要了
辦在live house
請最最最喜歡的樂
這樣就不用硬請
那些無聊透的同學和姨媽姑姐
是樂迷都可以來
*
或者是
很復古的大宅
也不需要太多人
來者也歡迎留宿一晚
*
當然 你只是和
一隻青蛙結婚耶
可以不要想這麼燒錢的
*
昨天是聖誕節
吼 不出意外是補眠日
但是補眠半天後
居然有約會
*
下午茶約要回曼徹斯特的親戚
晚上約要去紐約念書的朋友
*
幸好今天有約到啦
因為出年都要飛了
我事先都不知道朋友要去美國耶
還想他要開車這麼遠來
想說下一次再約吧
*
一天出去兩次
其實還挺有效率的
因為妝只需化一次
稍微補補就好了
衣服也只需搭一套
哈哈 很欠揍484
*
呃下次也不知道
什麼時候才有得見了
現在和小時候
和上學不一樣了
不是說約就約
更何況都去國外了
*
大家無論
上班念書談戀愛生活
各方面都好的
*
昨天晚上很晚到家
今天起得有點晚
在睡夢中突然想到
今天是冬至 幾點了
不知道我媽拿湯圓
給對面 uncle 了沒有
遲點再拿飯菜給他
*
然後才想到
他半年前已經過世了
*
今天花很多時間補眠
下午YouTube推
《彼個所在》的MV
點進去看 哭了
*
「你今嘛住的彼個所在 咁有習慣
係唔係想去邊 就去邊
要照顧好自己
有一天 再見」
*
晚安
泉州。陰
提前把 3 个中午 12 點的
deadlines 完成
可以先喘口氣了
*
穿著短褲在 3 樓陽臺
冷傁傁的 手指都有點顫抖
不是 我上來以前就有一點微抖
有時長時間打字太多就會這樣
*
我不管
今天要提早出去
昨天因為工作趕不来
基本上就出去吃 2 頓
其他時間都待在家裡工作
*
我倒不是很介意這樣
就委屈了我爸
因為家裡也沒電視
幸好這家空氣流通 光線也足
鼻敏感沒有發作
*
所以我在想
因為每次都這樣
我就很適合一個人旅行
是我也受不了一直
在旅行工作的旅伴
*
今天要提早出門
一定要
*
想一下 6 年前
沒有帶著網路沒有帶著電腦
完全靠在家裡做的功課
還有旅遊書
可以規劃比現在
更完善的行程
*
目前為止 還沒去過一個
上次沒來得及去的景點
都在沒去到
哈哈 很是失敗
*
星期天。高鐵上。晴
昨晚一路到潮州
出了一些小狀況
清晨 5 點到機場的巴士
遲了 1 小時
*
幸好時間預算充裕
還有時間吃個早餐
*
入境的時候
被問了很多問題
吼 我只是隔了 13 個月
沒來而已 是常客啦
*
上機前訂了留宿 1 晚的酒店
怎麼知道下午快到酒店的時候
才看到郵件 訂單失敗
好像是 overbooked 了
*
但是還好
聯絡客服戶
很快訂了另外一間
到達市區的時候
馬上順利入住
*
時間還早 天氣不錯
精神體力也還足夠
去古城區轉了一圈
就是 2 萬多步
*
今天睡到 7 點自然醒
啊 不用被 deadlines
壓著跑的週末
94 比較舒坦
*
不會有那種
It has been a long day
的身心疲憊感
*
下班了
星期六的凌晨 1 點
還確實不多見
但好處是
我接下兩天都不用碰電腦
*
除非我真的在飛機上悶得慌
上禮拜也把機上雜誌幾乎看完了
我還是自己帶本書吧
*
把行程安排太緊就有這樣的難處
還未還清上一個sleep debt
又要盡量趕在下一個行程前
把工作清光
*
還沒睡夠睡飽
又要動身出發了
*
其實這樣下來
真的很耗體力
*
但是還得堅持
Travel while you can
*
我客戶一定覺得
這個人猜不透
聖誕農曆新年都不休假
但一年四季都在外出
外出卻還在工作
*
希望那間
開元寺後街的
3 樓獨立古厝
和想像中的落差不大
*
冬天還可以在
有陽光的陽台喝茶
看到日落時分的東西塔
*
才不枉費
老娘這樣拼命
*
連續兩個月
出去個三兩天回來就生病
是怎样 變嬌貴了？
*
而且這次除了頭痛
加一個眼窩痛
眼窩和眼角處
奇怪得很說是
*
可能是因為
在酒店加班的時候
沒開燈 床頭燈又过亮
所以傷到眼睛了
*
在出行的那幾天
眼角旁還長了一顆
很大很明顯的痘
*
結果我就趁機
三天都不上妝
雖然東西都白帶了
但感覺還不錯
*
過兩天再飛
如果回来再病的话
那就是我身體真的老了
*
這個星期每天都是 5：30 起身
呃 明天有一个
稍微麻煩的工作要處理
真的 完全沒有什麼
年終假期的感覺
*
唉 還是賺錢要緊吧
有錢可以天天都好像在度假
不像我們 度假都可以
天天過得像工作日
不是嗎？
*
3 天 2 夜的旅行結束回来
雖然酒店的環境不錯
啊 還是家裡好
*
巨累 上飛機
讀了那天
讀不完的雜誌
直接睡到目的地
*
說不上 什麼好
在酒店呆一天
環境再好 你會悶
在家呆一天
也無所謂
*
大概就是這樣
又累了 睡啦
下一趟旅行之前
希望接下來幾天
都有一點時間補眠
*
星期六。勿裡洞。陰
昨天大概就是那種
feel like the longest day ever
開始這趟旅行
*
不過沒關係
好像也屢見不鮮了
*
2 點早上起身
5 點早上出門
11 點的班機
*
幸好的是
這天完全沒有行程
就吃個飯、喝個超久咖啡
回來休息、再出去吃飯
*
然後這樣晃一下就
晚上 11 點了
*
然後我就以那種
超慢的速度爬著前行
過了 12 點就完全不行了
這樣下來 效率也超慢的
*
沒辦法 去睡覺
然後 3 點起來 打個游戲
4 點開 turbo 模式
一路衝到 7:30
*
哇 結果進度比預期好
今天總算可以
放心去玩一下了
*
所以 各位同志們
睡個好覺真的很重要
拜！
*
今天從早上 6 點上班
一直到晚上 10 點剛下班
我還想今天乾脆不睡覺
但是身體真的不行了
*
明天凌晨 5 點去機場
然後我東西都還沒收
*
還有原本想說把手上的工作
要在今天前完成
或至少弄個七七八八
谁知道工作量排山倒海
所以接下來 3 天都要
「work and travel」
*
群裡某個朋友
一直關心行程安排怎樣了
是不是有東西做
*
我其實只想
待在酒店把工作做完
據說可以直接到海邊
那我拿去海邊做好的
或者安靜地睡個午覺
曬個太陽
*
不過我還是會努力配合
盡量多微笑多聊天
不要發呆 不要看手機
不要打哈欠
*
呵呵
你是有多委屈啊
*
這是一篇紐約時報的文章
關於快餐店如何減少以玩具作為賣點
以減少對環境的傷害
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/20/business/burger-king-plastic-toys.html?mc=adintl&ad-keywords=IntlAudDev&subid1=TAFI&dclid=CKrM9bjpkOYCFViJaAod1YQJiQ
*
這個或許不是一個新的議題
有趣的是 文章裡的配圖
顯示那些被融化的玩具
是最近 M 記的一個兒時記憶系列
大概有 15 款
近 30 年最受歡迎的系列
*
呃 我因為這個系列
這個禮拜也買了 3 份兒童套餐
分別是 漢堡神偷 紫色妖怪
還有兔寶寶
*
正如文章裡提到的
玩具對我來說
是去麥當勞的一大吸引力
*
沒給玩具
可能我根本就很難想去吃
如果是外出為了便利
或是早餐除外吧
*
但如果沒有玩具
就真的不可能說
今天晚餐好想吃麥當勞喔
*
很多年來
確實因為收藏他們家的玩具
給我帶來甚多的快樂
*
例如
新玩具是在星期四上架
那種期待就好像新電影
都是在星期三上映一樣
然後星期四也快周末了
所以還參雜著 TGIF 的心情
*
慶幸的是我收集的
都不是很熱門的系列
所以每次推出哈囉某某
大排長龍的时候
都好像和我沒有關係
*
兒童餐還有一個好處就是
既然是垃圾食物
兒童餐至少是小份的
這樣攝取的垃圾也相對少了
不是嗎
*
再來就是
如果成功收上一個完整的系列
可能是用上一個月或更長時間
那種滿足感比起你網拍買回來的
會更高一些啦
*
所以 結論是
如果真的兒童餐不要附玩具了
拜託 請以 kidult happy meal 取代
不要剝奪我們這群人
我也不知道是不是真的有這樣的群體
還是只是偶而已啦
享有小小快樂的權力啦
*
如果這種標題可以當作標題
大概一年可以用上100次
*
這個禮拜每天都在加班
估計持續到下個禮拜
*
昨天大概 1 點 這個時候收工
6 點多一封電郵
直接跳起來
就是 1 點多 客戶發來的
壞消息是
有需要修改一些東西
需要查回之前已經完成的
*
好消息是
會補償額外時間
然後deadline推遲了一天
*
不然我今天估計
應該直接加班到明天了
*
但是傍晚的時候
又接了一單比較大
deadline 不偏不倚
落在下個禮拜度假回來的那天
*
算起來
我把目前這單忙完后
周末估計也需要加班
那種在沙灘上工作的感覺
雖然是蠻不錯
*
但是半夜 2 點
離開舒服床起身工作
一直到早上 8 點
誰試過誰知道
*
所以要儘快清空
手頭上的東西
下禮拜這個時候
應該是在收拾行李
然後又在重複前幾個禮拜的
乾脆直接不睡了
*
真的
你越擔心事
就越會發生
*
額 明天有3個deadlines
還在趕著禮拜五的大單
*
然後 還是溜出去了
有收到某牌的黑五pre sale
之前在櫥窗
有看上一件連身褲
年底有個婚禮要出席
*
想説等黑五吧
去網站看 也還有貨
如果實體店真的賣完
*
買連身褲這件事
很講求剪裁合身
太短會卡著某部位
太長就好像小孩硬穿大人衣服
就這家的我每次都穿得剛好
*
今天剛好就有全店 30%
而且我接下來 12 月
都沒時間
所以 timing 剛好
*
不對 他們家的裙子
我從 XS 穿到 S 再到 M
也差太多了吧
雖然 S 是可以吧
因爲接下來 1 個月
不敢保證不會胖
害死買 M 比較保險啦
*
好想買黑色哦
但是怕我阿母一直念
還是藍色好了
*
然後 我想説的是
這好像是我近兩個月來
第一次進試衣間
第一次在綫下買衣服
*
哈哈 不（亂）買衣的人生
掌控 needs vs wants 的人生
好棒棒的人生
*
哎喲 是deep V
到時會扣起來啦
雖然也不是有什麽好看的
*
上個星期 林志玲婚禮后
某雜志的貼文
婚禮的穿著禁忌
我覺得挺實用的
https://www.elle.com/tw/fashion/street-snap/g27263355/what-to-wear-at-wedding-2019/
*
好吧
我要上班去了
*
禮拜三那天不是説病了
幸好多熬兩天到周末
結果那兩天都是在
做完一段睡一段
這樣接力下來
連續兩天在10點就睡死了
*
結果真的有電郵
但是幸好是熟客
都有接下來
但是都是特別具挑戰性的
所以接下來幾天都得忙
*
哈 那是下個星期
（兩小時？）後的事了
先不要想這麽遠
*
因爲這幾天的病
節奏都被打亂了
所以昨天禮拜六
是全天候加班
算起啦也不是全天候
*
早上睡了再睡
下午 3 點開工
一直到凌晨 1 點
效率出奇的好
*
然後今天也是延續下去
早上 10 點 到現在
已經晚上 10 點了
*
是有超出我預期的目標
想到昨天早上頭快炸了
至少現在眼前的難題
已經 KO 掉了
*
突然發現
額 這 4 年來
我好像一次病假也沒放過
那些病假的 quota
都換成出走記了
*
哦 對了
這兩天頭痛的時候
聼得最多的是 deca joins
真的有療愈作用
*
耶誕節倒數一個月
其實也沒幹嘛
就好好讓我闖過去
*
話説回來
幸好上個周末
在曼谷的時候
沒有這麽多棘手的要處理
否者的話
*
希望 12 月那幾個
趕路的周末
也是這樣平安過去
*
對於今天沒有去吉隆坡看草東
一整天下來感覺心癢癢的
就兩百多公里
也太說不過去了
之前再遠都跑去
*
但是吼
下午開始生病了
太晚吞的維C根本沒用
*
所以又感覺還好
現在這個狀況
根本撐不到11點看演出
然後12点結束再摸黑回酒店吧
*
但是反過來
會不會是沒有去才生病的
不對 應該是病了
所以幸好沒去
*
這是今年錯過第二場
在吉隆坡的音樂節
但又不是太可惜的那种
*
第一次是七月 票老早買了
就還沒宣布任何陣容就買了
最後工作實在忙不過來
但是因為剛從威卡回來
所以還好 就算了
*
我找了幾個草東的全程演出视频
其實蠻討厭在現場全程舉手機的
但是因為有他們才有這些現場视频
但是頭好痛 看不下去了
*
明天醒來 希望頭不痛了
繼續多撐兩天
*
今天有點找回節奏
補眠時間相對比較少
*
檢查不在那幾天收到的包裹
有一個3 X 保養品
居然完全錯了 是別人的
私訊了賣家 沒關係
幸好是官方網店
應該有得換
*
如果不能
就直接退貨
再重新下單好了
反正我東西也不急著用
*
他們説先查查
就等明天吧
*
額
這好像是第一次
可能以前有
但我可能沒發現
*
我這次有
有把物件、數量、價格
簡單地列在一張Excel sheet
然後收到的就打個勾
*
去年因爲買的時候很急
居然買到自己已經有的褲子
一個款就算了 還同一個顔色
沒辦法 退掉吧
一件牛仔褲可以穿很久吧
*
啊 這幾天
某家移動支付
在某個購物平臺
有提供30%折扣
心癢癢
*
但是不行 我不能打破
一年不買鞋的記錄
其實算起來
其實也超過一年了
沒買了
*
就再堅持一下
就等於 2019 一整年不買
*
不然這樣好了
折扣好像是到 12 月 31 日
那我剛好下單
但是明天收到
這樣就算明年的
不是嗎
*
其實 我的wish lists 裡
也好像沒有什麽特別特別想買的
Superga 2750（全白）
Vans Slip On（全黑）
Vans Era ComfyCush（深藍）
adidas Continental（全白）
Nike Blazer Low/AF 1（全白）
*
我想這就是
可以這麽久不買鞋的原因
因爲再怎麽買也就
那幾個顔色那幾個款
買了也就多一雙 沒差
所以。。。
*
而且年紀越大
越發現買東西的過程當中
最有趣的是過程
最高點是在收到包裹的時候
然後快感就一直下降
*
但是東西也買了
又多了一樣東西
又占了一些空間
又多了一些後悔
然後呢？
*
歷經幾天的不眠 + 少眠
還有每次看完演出
靈魂會出鞘幾天
*
毫無意外
今天是個補眠日
幸好 deadlines 分別是
早上、下午 3 & 6 點
*
3 點那個周末已經完成
所以早上 5 點 起來
完成一個后
可以回去睡一睡
*
然後下午弄完最後一個
也可以再去睡一輪
一直到我媽突然來問我
知不知道某個行動支付公司
*
額 我在睡覺 不夠明顯嗎
還是我其實是醒著睡覺
我也忘了
*
哦 原來有個親戚目前在做這個
之前有聽到她在找工作
說想找 home-based 的工作
*
然後當時聽到我媽很大聲地說
不可以啦 這種工沒個定時
晚睡晚起 沒有規律
人會變得很懶散
*
我聽到覺得有點矛盾
自己家的在做這個
然後你和別人說別做這個
我就笑而不語
*
不過也對啦
是沒有個規律
不是每個人做得來
*
然後我發現
每次有親戚到我家
都是剛好是我下午補眠時段
*
他們肯定在想
哇 大白天在睡覺
這個在家工作
不會是個幌子吧
其實就是個游手好閑的
*
呵呵
不管啦
*
結束 3 天 2 夜的曼谷草東行
哈 十分滿意的一場
所以下週就不繼續
前進吉隆坡了
*
然後 3 天 2 夜
真的有點趕啦
今天說白了
就是一整天在趕路
*
早上八點從曼谷的住宿出門
回到自己的狗窩
也超過 12 小時了
*
刚刚給一對比利時的夫婦
搭順風車
*
車票系統好像出了問題
先生坐我隔壁 太太坐前面
他們想搭公交
太太就問她隔壁的女生
17 號車怎麼搭去市區
*
女生直接跟他們說
喔 我們這裡都不搭公交
你用 app 叫車吧
然後就走掉了
*
其實這樣也沒有錯啦
事實就是這樣
*
但是我想
都天黑了 應該沒車了
他們又沒網 更不用說叫車
*
然後就主動去問他們
要去哪裡
*
喔 是 Wayfarer
這間我很剛好知道
每次路過河邊
都在想這酒店名字怎麼來的
*
Ray-Ban 的 Wayfarer？
草東的 Wayfarer？
當然後者可能性極小
但反正兩個我都愛
*
就這樣送了他們去酒店
路上聊了一下
他們功課做很足
三個星期 從南往北的行程
某個她提起的地方
我好像沒聽過 ＞＜
*
但就也是靈活安排
都還沒定下
而且東西也帶很少
就兩個普通容量的背包
這樣的旅行方式好讚
*
明天一早有工作
啊 動力 動力 何在
今年沒有看演出的行程了
正式告一段落
*
期待著
第 6 座有草東演出
而我也「剛好」前往的城市
專場最好不過
*
星期六。曼谷。晴
有一種自然醒叫
星期六的6點鐘
雖然前一天根本沒睡
*
房間裡還有獨立的陽臺
看著天色漸亮的感覺很好
到哪座城市都一樣
*
陽光很強
今天去看草東！
*
就這個
古人説得好
既來之，則安之
*
安排了這次
曼谷草東行過後
吉隆坡的音樂節才公佈
下星期 我們有草東
還有落日飛車！！！
*
算了啦
票我是沒買
下星期看造化吧
*
一次次
爲了看演出而飛
到頭來 也弄不清
是爲了看演出而飛
還是爲了飛而看演出了
*
就凌晨1：15分左右
寫好上一篇
想説可以把電腦收收
然後把行李收收
*
就這麽巧
來了一個小task
中午12點要交差
*
額 中午12點前
都在飛機上
怎麽做
這個小case一單
就推了吧
*
反正都1點多了
沒回復電郵 沒理虧
早前也已經通知
明天中午前沒有電腦
*
但是都一點多了
最多就不睡嘛
何必和工作過意不去
況且
也不是很複雜的
做一下嘛
*
如果我這樣推了去睡
也恐怕睡得不安
甚至睡不下
所以還不是一樣
還是趕快做一做啊
*
所以就接下來
做到一半
三點多了
距離完成也不遠了
又來一封電郵
叫我先暫停
說有東西要確認一下
*
額 大姐
這樣不好吧
*
所以我就要求說
不然我先做完
明天再確認 好嗎
因爲明天早上我沒有開工
*
幸好我得到的回復是：
好吧 那你go ahead
*
然後就這樣
快四點了
工作是快完成了
但姐姐行李還沒收
*
感覺我眼睛快燒起來了
這是熱忱 > <
嗯 我想也是
*
今天原本不需要
拖到這麽晚 想説
只需把下午完成的
檢查一遍 呈交
*
然後可以收拾行李
早點睡覺去
每次無論多早或多晚準備
都是收拾個70-80%
最後必須來一個
點名裝包的完結動作
*
誰知道
把文件開起來
不對 都沒處理過
難道是我下午太急
忘了儲存
*
好吧 那重做好了
重做用了45分鐘到1小時吧
幸好沒把沒做好的交上去
現在發現 還來得及啦
*
完成 儲存 應該沒事了
誰知道 打開來看
還是一樣啦
文件出了問題
怎麽儲存都一樣
*
結果 好吧
拷貝出來
再重做一次
吼 這種時候
給我找這樣的麻煩
*
就這樣
哈 都12點了
預定4點起來
5點半出門呢
*
直接不用睡？
不睡覺 明天就臉油+自帶烟熏妝
還是睡一下？
睡一下 是幾點睡得下啦
*
好在
沒有帶著拖欠工作飛一身輕
電腦無論怎樣都得帶上了
希望用得上
也希望用不上
這種矛盾 你懂的
*
想說每天堅持這樣
寫點什麼
讓自己的腦袋
在下班後不空空的
*
但是又好像寫不出什麼
更加確定
我好像一天天
在失去溝通能力這件事
就我有列了一些徵兆
等有空的時候再講那個
*
刚刚出去回來
看到鄰居在路上燒東西
呃 不是初一十五
也不是農曆七月
好詭異
*
好像是在燒文件
好幾個文件夾
還有油
*
處理廢紙不是都回收嗎
莫非是某些需要銷毀的證據
或者是不好的回憶
可能都不是 純粹喜歡
看燒東西時燃起的火
*
有這種偶爾突然會
做出乎預料的事情的鄰居
好刺激
*
大概是購物時
做太多計算了
目前腦袋已經有點
陷入停工狀態了
*
今天和一個
相當久沒聊天的朋友
放心 不是賣保險
雖然她真的是在做這個
*
她説在為新家購物
哦 新家 短短幾年
又買新家
太有本事了！
*
發現周圍的人
好像越來越多
在添購家具的
然而我已經不像以前
完全沒有在焦慮
*
哈哈 我昨天有在忙
搶演唱會的票
幸好我沒說出來
汗顔-ing
*
不然又像上一次那樣
被朋友問：
”你不買房（都不爲未來打算）
你爸媽不擔心你嗎
不爲你打點嗎
*
蛤？？？？？
哦。。。
不會啊！
*
還有一次
收過還小幾歲的遠親
在一個禮拜内
分別給我發
考警察和臨教的鏈接
*
蛤？？？
哦。。。
謝謝分享！
不想誤人子弟啦！
*
也不説
穩定生活不美好
但是日子各自在過
祝大家都好吧

*
有啊
我也不是沒有想過
添購家具
我也是有理想好嗎
*
就之前想過
給我的閣樓無敵景觀
四面透光的小辦公室
添購一個小Marshall
但是昨天東西太多
早忘得一乾二净了
*
能夠把平時都亂七八糟的
購物車完全清空
是一件很了不起事
看了好舒服
*
一天下來完全沒有買到
一件衣服、一雙鞋子
也好像有點厲害
*
然後
其實也好像沒有什麽
有大概10幾20個包裹
但就是沒有穿的
*
唯一一個比較可疑的大概是
已經有主人要當作
聖誕禮物和收藏品的
3套Hot Wheel小車車
*
其餘的
保證打開都是必需品
我想我大概
在接下來半年都
不會在屈臣氏或
其他下單了
*
然後
接下來當然是
想想要怎樣把
這些東西變不見
不會囤得像個倉庫一樣
*
哦 對了
今天演唱會門票成功買到
搖滾區第一排
中間算起第三位
*
雖然我還沒正式統計
今天共消費了多少錢
估計是比去年多
*
去年也好像沒怎麽買
然後就在樂天拿下一個
史努比的聯名包
當作犒勞自己
這個包現在還in service
*
然後最近又看到
東京博物館新館開幕的
那個聯名北歐狐狸包
是很可愛啦
而且是我喜歡的色系
https://www.vogue.com.tw/feature/content-49603
*
但是價格是普通款的兩倍
所以待定
況且什麽時候
去到博物館也還沒定下來
*
然後我想説的是
目前手上分別由三個deadlines
所以。。。
*
堅持一天一文
誰知道沒有幾天就斷了
其實也不是
相比周六的午睡一整天
*
早上 陪我媽出去
回家 馬上工作
效率不錯
大概專注的四五個小時
以周末標準 算很好了
*
然後朋友約出去
額 想到保生大帝
繞境會繞過我家
好像是該廟120年
第一次
*
讓朋友來我家帶一下
帶她去夜市買點吃的
回家吃完 剛好繞境也看完
*
很宅的人真的一眼看出
我朋友第一次來我家夜市
就這裡也遇見熟人 那裡也是
哈哈 更像是她的地盤
*
去了我家附近的咖啡廳
點了一杯特濃的抹茶拿鐵
加薄荷檸檬冰茶
因爲晚上需要熬夜
*
然後等繞境又剛好繞過
剛好看完 才回家
十二點開始買東西
到兩點多 打烊
六點起來繼續工作
*
除了睡眠有點不夠
真是好均衡一天
有家人、有朋友、
有工作、有休閑、
有在家、有在外
有花錢、有賺錢
（最後這個重要！）
*
哈 我爸的“北面”買到了
給朋友的聖誕禮物買到了
還有一堆家裡個人用的吃的
也差不多買齊了
然後11點開票的《大人中》
也搶到了
*
也沒有多買了什麽
不應該或忍不住買下的
因爲只跟著清單上的在買
*
感謝那些把光棍節
包裝成購物街的商家們
花錢花得好開心
*
因爲有相當長一段日子
沒在周六工作了
想在一周内完全放空一天
所以今天想要開啓工作模式
真的好難
*
一整個下午
第一次在午餐后
工作不到1小時
就累得不行
*
一邊曬著太陽
一邊放著音樂
一邊抱頭大睡
太爽
因爲是周六
完全不怕有電郵進來
*
結果一起身 已經4點多了
再工作了一下下
又到了下午茶時間啦
*
然後就一堆有的沒的
老天鵝
現在已經快凌晨12點了！！！
*
看了看下午的進度
才做了10+%
今天的原定目標
其實是50%
還是再加一下班好了
*
沒工作 沒收入
哪來錢應付雙十一
好吧，再堅持一下下
*
順便說一下吧
現在手頭上的文件
關於假期購物
就問一些會買什麽
在哪個平臺購物之類的
*
這樣搞得我
更難專心
好嗎
*
這兩天比較空
除了整理購物清單
也整理行程清單
*
到航空公司網站
找了班機日期時間
然後不知怎麽
還去看了價格
*
靠北！
我八月訂的下個月機票
現在兩張共便宜600+馬幣
而且距離我們目的地較近
的另一個機場也便宜個4-5百
*
我當時是這麽想的
寒假的機票只會漲不會落
所以提早訂不會錯
*
結果真的不是這樣
還真是第一次
因爲提早訂而買到貴票
*
好像是沒有買到打折的票
那種感覺好像是
你的車牌中獎了但你沒買
- 按捶心肝
*
回想一下600塊馬幣夠我買
以下任何1項：
1張《大人中》搖滾區門票/
2-3個Switch游戲/
1個Panasonic Nanoe吹風機
*
這樣更感覺可惜
不是嗎?
*
不過 算了啦
這只是剛好沒有買到便宜票
也沒有到很嚴重
*
反正我雙十一應該
也只是會買第一項
其餘兩項選擇割愛
*
精神糧食 vs 休閑娛樂 vs 個人護理
當然你可以把演唱會歸類爲休閑娛樂
所以還是選擇第一項啦
直接滿足兩項
*
因爲今年的旅行
延遲到12月中
怕天氣比較冷
就説給我爸找一件
比較好的羽絨服
明年春季旅行
也可能會用到
*
然後我就有給他看
打算在雙十一下單的
“北面”雙面款
*
後來和朋友聊到
雙十一要“殺”什麽
她說這個很貴啊
怎麽不買“超級乾燥”
在官方網店
即便宜也很保暖
*
我就説 好哦
去看了幾個款
基本都是logo很小那種
準備給我爸自己選
*
殊不知
我爸居然堅持要“北面”的
說“超級乾燥”太年輕
不適合阿伯
（可我明明有篩選過款式）
*
還説反正只是買一件
多一點錢買好一點
沒關係啦
*
吼！我只能説
被寵壞了
一身行頭從來沒有
買比較次的給他
所以不肯妥協了
*
當初還不是我
跟他强推“北面”
怎麽好 怎麽好的
*
這算是秘密嗎？
算是吧
因爲我沒有跟過誰講
照這個邏輯
這裡寫的每一篇都是秘密咯
*
我整個 10 月幾乎是靠零收入
在過日子的
*
厚 還好沒有出現重大消費
原本在九月就想去配的眼鏡
也遲遲拖到十月快結束的時候
才敢去配
因爲心裡早有預算會小貴
眼鏡行也有打來（催）
說有預留幾個我可能喜歡的鏡框
*
就我最重要的客戶掉單了
這也不是沒發生過
但是他們算是信譽最好的其中一戶
就如果這個月掉單
沒關係 下個月會一次過
還清兩個月的單
*
然後在 11 月 1 日
收到他們 9 月的款項
厚 那 8 月的直接跳過了
就真的是漏掉了吧
*
就打個電郵過去問一下
確認是掉單了
所以說在 11 月 30 日前
會一并還清 8 月和 10 月的款項
*
哦 那就好
沒事了
*
我想我追債真的很爛
因爲欸！
如果真的要跑
我也不能幹嘛
我唯一能做的就是乾等
*
近兩年
就是把列爲高風險的客戶
一律不接案子了
就業務往來很少
還錢很慢的那種
*
我想這就是
自由業者的煩惱之一
業績歸業績
把錢收到手
可能是一兩個月
甚至更久之後的事了
*
雖然口上是說佛系
不顧慮是假的
頭上每個月定時報道的
灰髮就是最好證據
*
之前最誇張的
有一個美國公司
足足纍計了一年的單子
這一年 我只追了這麽一次
也和我的項目經理反映了一次
後來就收到錢了
*
其實心裡有點
在洗衣機撿到錢的小確幸
：這明明是你的錢
因爲我該不可能追到鹽湖城去
*
目前還沒有碰到
不幸事件
也算是幸運了
*
也可能有被跑過
但那些已經決定不接的
我也沒去再追蹤
是有沒有欠錢
越查越煩 不是嗎
*
把手上的顧好就很好了
不是嗎
*
--------------------------------------------------------------------
後記：
在寫完這篇一小時多后
偶然打開戶口
發現另外一個在十月
也剛好跳單的客戶
也把錢清了
而且出乎預料地還
多清了一個月的單
開心 開心
*
還有 再後來
那個確認這個月
會一并還清的財務部
還多來了一封
《希望沒有造成困擾》的電郵
*
一度是有困擾啦
但走過去就好了啦
哦 雙十一要來了
*
no trip had been arranged
for October
total opposite of last year
where I spent half of the month
travelling from Siem Reap to Taipei
*
except a 24 hour work-free trip
to Singapore for a concert
would have stayed longer
but the hostel was really poor
*
and i have not been staying in
hostel with bunk beds for
quite some years
maybe that’s part of the reason
*
it’s expected to sleep late
after the show
and i actually checked out
as early as 6am next morning
*
reached home by noon
and got ready to spend the
rest of the day working
*
i kinda like this though
seamlessly switching from
enjoyment to work mood
without suffering from
Monday’s blue
*
then the month went
quite slow I would say
but i was having a good time
hibernating
well… you know
season change
*
there was once that
i almost missed a large volume task
simply because I fell asleep before 9
and only got to see the email
when i woke up 4am next morning
*
then i was back to the
healthy sleep routine of
sleeping after 11pm and
awake by 6am
*
anyway it is easier said than done
of course
you can’t actually control
what time you fall asleep
but i am that kind of person
who can actually wake up
as early as I want to
without the need for alarm
*
so there’s sleep debt
being accumulated
from time to time
which kinda explains
for the hibernation session
*
anyway
looking forward to an
busy yet exciting weeks ahead
before we end the year
*
more concerts, definitely
more work, hopefully
more spending, inevitably
*
couldn’t exactly remember
how did early early September go
spent a week at Taipei
one of those zero planning
except one kind of trip
*
flew in on a Monday
worked all the way
from Monday – Friday
went out in the evening
for food and grocery
and played cooking
*
it was Mid-Autumn Festival
cum Sunset Rollercoaster show
on Friday and
thank goodness
i managed to finish early
*
flew back on Sunday
so that i could
have more time to
deal with Monday
*
such irony that
i had been working
almost everyday
during the week in Taipei
still i needed some time
at least 2-3 days for
recovery
or whatever it’s called
*
then there came
some busy days
that required
waking up in between
4 to 6 am to
get work done
*
it wasn’t really that tough
for an early riser like me
and it feels good that
i have at least get
something done
before breakfast
*
as oppose to
starting the day late
after breakfast and
soon it’s already noon
*
i thought i would have had
quite a lot to write
but it seems like
………
*
it feels good
to keep a small flat
just me and my work
with a simple pantry
and maybe a TV
and everything is
just downstairs
*
it seems a bit ridiculous
to fly all the way
for a concert and also
spend the whole week there
working as usual on weekdays
*
not sure when
i am doing this again
but definitely
shall be back in Taiwan
real soon
*
Somehow can’t remember
much about August
even if i didn’t procrastinate
this time round
*
probably it has been an
uneventful month
which isn’t necessarily
a bad thing
after all
*
except for..
a voided invoice
on the last day of Aug
because the client was
still unhappy with the quality
after three rounds of amendment
*
other than that
i can’t remember exactly
what took place in August
*
trying to revamp my schedule
to be an early riser again
so that i can take my time
enjoying breakfast
*
and took a quick break (nap)
around 11 am if
i am feeling really tired
let’s say
i start working at 4 or 5am
*
and also
try to substitute tea time
with early dinner by 6pm
*
what’s more
started to take workout seriously
i know it sounds ridiculous
when you can’t beat the fat
then you probably are not
working hard enough
sad but true story
*
having get used to this
healthier routine
am suddenly concerned
about my upcoming solo (lazy) trip
to Taipei next trip
may end up coming back lazy
*
always have the tendency to procrastinate
wait i did write the post for June right
Yes, June’s Journey
*
July was a roller coaster month
but let’s cut it short because
well there’s Aug to write about
still
*
was supposed to attend
two music festivals in July
life’s good, huh
*
so i did attend the first one in Chiayi
Wake Up Festival
during first half of July
and spent the rest of the trip in
Kaohsiung working, alone
*
so everything went on at
normal pace until
a few days before the
2nd event
i secured this large volume task
which was so large that
i was sleepless for that night
*
suddenly realizing
i may not be able to make it
given the volume and
tight deadline
*
that was a Wednesday
if i am not mistaken
then for the next two days
on top of juggling this one
i did receive other tasks
and was going at full speed
*
hey i may make it after all
given the fact that
i will still work in the hotel
after and before the event
*
it was on Friday
one day before that
i got overwhelmed by
more incoming tasks that
so.. it’s confirmed
*
no music festival for me
since i have already seen
two of the bandsthat i wanted to see
in Chiayi earlier on
so i guess it wasn’t wasted
even if i had to burn the ticket
*
i could have spent more on hotel
or taking the risk of missing deadlines
so i have got no choice
but to give up
*
but by pure luck
managed to sell the ticket
at discounted price to
the person offered to buy
in fact
knowing my situation
*
and thank goodness
i think i have made the right choice
even if i was working
day and night through the weekend
i was in serious doubt
if i could finish it on time
*
more so on Tuesday evening
due date was Thursday in fact
client suddenly asked for
earlier delivery by
Wednesday noon
with 10% extra upon nego
*
and i managed to finish
like on Wednesday morning
ahead of the new urgent deadline
*
I wouldn’t have got it done
if i did attend the two-day event
not forgetting time spent on travelling
*
so…
not sure if it was a coincidence
or a pattern or trend
*
two years in a row
July topped the sales chart
with large volume task
which came in
in conjunction with live show
*
last year
about the same time
Caodong live in Tokyo
almost missed a task
because signal was poor
at the underground venue
but managed to secure it
and went full force
working on plane
*
i guess i have to be
real careful when it comes to
planning next year
but who knows
i got pre-sale ticket
back in February
and happily counting down
until the day before the event
*
so..
good grief
who knows
*
i was thinking to get these two posts done
while I am killing time
at the airport at this time tomorrow
or on the plane from 8am – 1pm
but then since the layover time
is slightly long
i have to conserve power
for a long day ahead
*
and anyway
i can’t really sleep now
a usual habit before flight
just to spend more time around
before i start missing my bed
*
June was a slow month
kinda expected from
last year
and kinda struggling with
zero travel this month
*
but i had my weekends
well spent on food hunt,
cafe visiting and even
a high school open day
*
finding activities is
something people probably do
on an occasional basis
but not for an anti-socialist like me
who sometimes struggle with work
and also temptation to laze around
all day long
*
anyway
it didn’t end too bad
better than expected
*
out of this struggle
i accidentally booked a trip
to Kaohsiung for
Wake Up Festival in Chiayi
two weeks before the event
that’s why the layover tomorrow
*
and it would be quite a new challenge
as i will be travelling with a new mate
we didn’t even get the whole trip
planned out probably
*
just secured a room for two nights
so that we don’t have to loiter
on the street after the event
that’s all
*
July is traditionally a busy month
i hope for the same this year
*
It’s so damn fast
when I last wrote this
during final week of May
to wrap up April
*
now we are in July
while I still haven’t done
May plus June
*
not sure if
there’s anything worth-noting
or i could have messed up
the dates
damn procrastination
*
I don’t exactly remember
anything eventful on May
except the fact that
we spent the final week of May in Osaka
pretty much doing nothing
except shopping and eating
besides a day trip to Nara
*
and it wasn’t exactly a busy week
so i was pretty much chilling
no I did wake up at 1am
maybe i am too used to this
maybe i don’t remember the details
*
anyway
one really memorable event in May
an old man opposite my house passed away
i got him the ambulance
and he didn’t come home again
that kinda struck me hard
so for the whole month
was constantly stuck in this low mood
kept thinking about how unexpected
this was and how i wish
he could be coming home real soon
*
can’t say the same for my family
but we did talk about this quite a lot
so i am sure it certainly has
left some impacts over them as well
*
loss and grievance is
one of the topics I usually
come across in employee assistance program
now that I know
how important it actually is
*
anyway
i didn’t actually look into sales
thank goodness
it closed quite well
before crawling into a
long month in June
*
On the way to Osaka
two months plus
since i last flew
longest gap in
at least recent one year
*
tried to plan something in between
but failed due to
family commitment
*
so i was suddenly left with
a lot of free time throughout April
but sales figures and
workload volume seemed okay
even though i didn’t feel busy
*
and oops
i actually spent quite some time
on a newly found hidden object game
June’s Journey
(similar to Pearl’s Peril)
investigating scenes and
building the island
*
this was my first ever
mobile game since
the ruin of my Smurf’s Village
quite some years ago
*
it shared the trait of
village construction
but best of all
combining hidden objects
which is my other favorite genre
since Mystery Case File series
way back during collage
*
i think one of the reasons
time passes really fast
when i am occupied with the game
is because it takes some time
for energy to be recharged
*
it maxes out
every 5 hours
so i get to play 15 times
every 3 hours
i get to play 9 times
and so on
*
so in the mean time
i get back to work
after finishing
i get to play again
every 3-5 hours
i treat myself to a little
game play
*
and i am more willing to
work until late
simply because
i get to play another round
after finishing work
*
and i am willing to
wake up slightly earlier
to start the day with one round
before i start work
*
that kinda explains why
i actually didn’t feel
days were going too slow
although i wasn’t travelling
*
這一天
始終到來了
*
十幾天前
接到對面老人電話
幸好是接了
去你的電話恐懼症
偶爾想接或不接
就這樣不響了 就算了
*
他說人不舒服
讓我們過去看一下
也是我叫的救護車
就這樣 他沒有再回來了
剛剛在醫院過世了
*
其實 知道他昏迷的那天
我哭了好一陣
是我叫的救護車
就這樣 不回來了嗎
*
然後一個禮拜后
我媽說 老人有囘信息了
說有好一些
遲一些再給我們打電話
*
那是兩天前的事
然會今天就。。。
*
因爲老人偶爾
有幫我們收包裹
有一次 我就在包裹接收通知上
看見了他的生日
就記錄在手機裡
說今年他生日的時候
可以給他買個蛋糕什麽的
*
還有 前兩個月
有去向他請教報稅的事
然後我説
不如 請他代我報稅
向平常一樣收費即可
但他堅持不要
說可以教我自己做
*
明天 如果他還有在
就再看怎樣吧
結果。。。
*
乾 想到這些
這兩個禮拜下來
我都好難過
真的 比自己親戚去世
都還難過
*
每天望去對面
希望門像往常開著
有電視的聲音
有老人坐在那裡
隨時可以把吃的拿過去給他
*
最後一次
我很記得是拿比薩
每次晚上拿宵夜
他都會問這個
可不可以放到明天
當作早餐
心好酸
*
愿所有老人
得到善待
*
今天六點就上班了
一直忙到下午4點
把午餐下午茶拼在一起吃
原本可以下班了
*
終於又那個被詛咒的任務
又回來了
就這麽不遲不早剛剛好
想要躺15分鐘也沒有
*
無數次 糾結糾結著
最深刻
有一次它跟了我兩個多禮拜
暹粒-吉隆坡-臺北
*
好吧 4點下班也早
開始做 也沒影響
大概6 點多可以搞定
那下禮拜也不用再等文件了
*
結果。。。
裡面問題很多
快瘋了 七點多
還沒搞定
然後突然接到電郵
喊停 說他們内部先修修
I’ll be back…
*
靠 算了 算了
累成狗
happy Friday是什麽
九點已經躺在床上
短短幾分鐘
又來了兩個
比較急卻需要開電腦的
靠 算了 反正也還早
*
搞定 這回可以收工了嗎
姐姐真的很累了
*
然後
果不其然
不祥的預感都是對的
客戶說 修好了
你再查看咯
問題是比下午少了
但是也沒有很少
*
就這樣
不明不白地加了
兩個小時的班
我看不止吧
我下午算過
六點上班
應該下午3點可以下班的
*
我在想
也只我這種千年宅精
適合這樣的工作吧
你想
禮拜五 在外面約會吃飯
突然 就接到
這個趕 那個趕
多掃興
*
對了
就前幾天
同一個案子
老姐要去買東西
讓我陪她
但是我在等文件
*
然後我就帶著電腦
又是一個不遲不早剛剛好
車子一停好 文件就來了
所以 我全程兩個小時
是沒有逛到商場了
就在哈根達斯打字
老姐買完 幫她提東西
走 回家！
*
yet another long overdue post
should have written this weeks ago
who knows what kept me busy
June’s Journey, maybe
*
to summarize March
started well
ended well
*
started the month
with a short trip to
KL & Penang
for EggPlantEgg’s
Malaysia tour
solo
*
and ended the month
with another short staycation
to KL with BFFs
for Your Women Sleep with Others
*
there was this particularly
scare out of shit experience
in the middle of the month
*
in short
fell asleep early
email came in at 11pm
and woke up to find that
a large volume task
had been reassigned
*
but it wasn’t that bad
because there was
subsequent batch that
i managed to secure
*
but luck is not always
on my side
so since that
i try to stay awake
at least until 11pm
following client’s
office hour
can’t help it
*
sadly
no overseas trip this month
was thinking to utilizing
my birthday weekend x Labor Day
to take my mom out of the city
*
but her leave application
was rejected
grandnanny for 3 kids
tough life
and that sort of
affects most of my travel plans
this year
*
anyway
i mean it’s a good time
to really sit down
or lie down maybe
to look for some other
motivations in life other than
flying once a month
and it wasn’t cheap
by the way
*
what happened in Penang was
for the very first time
i sat down at the common area
of my hostel in a busy street
working, patting cat and
talking to others
the ideal way to
live as a freelancer
*
my 4 year old old laptop
has been making noise literally
and recently escalated
“system fan is out of order”
is the first thing greeting me
whenever i turn it on
*
in fact it may be around
for quite some time
i hardly shut down
only on sleep mode
unless the battery is flat
*
so it was quite a fast process
it took me one night to survey
and saw the specific model
i wanted will be on flash sale
next morning
and there you go
*
same old HP
because this has been pretty reliable
for the past 4 years
and 15.6” still
as i don’t think i can survive
without the numeric keypad
*
good thing that
it got delivered on a Saturday
have been trying day and night
to transfer files from
old to new laptop
*
Homegroup no longer exists
transferring via software
seems weird because
the total size doesn’t tally
couldn’t find my external hard disk
and thumb drive will take forever
*
and finally this works
https://techwiser.com/how-to-connect-pc-to-pc-lan-cable/
transferring via LAN cable
it seems complicated at first glance
but it isn’t
fast and reliable
thanks….. really
*
it’s kinda disappointing how
those good old things are
slowly disappearing
from Windows
other than HomeGroup
*
first
Window Photo Editor
Window Live Writer
(now blogging from Open Live Writer)
Google Chinese Input is no longer supported
*
the Taiwanese input
has this funny name called
Microsoft Bomofomo
seriously??
*
i don’t think Control Panel
is still around as well
*
and it feels annoying
when opening up to a Start menu
which is pre-installed with paid content
Netflix, Agoda, Spotify
*
and of course
before installing Chrome
now where is Internet Explorer
oh it’s dead
replaced with Microsoft Edge
*
and Skype is now
part of Microsoft Office
*
well maybe it’s just me
the old schooler
resisting the change
*
anyway
thank goodness
i found the way to
transfer data the good old way
*
it’s a good time
for me to clear those
many folders named
“Misc”, “Unsorted”
*
the amount of data
from an old desktop
two generations of laptop
a couple of phones
*
one last question here
if laptop is getting more similar
to a mobile phone
how i wish it does have a
one-touch clone function
*
sorry
getting a bit too grumpy
over the time wasted
*
上週有點抱怨
都沒有在做翻譯
都是在弄response coding + link check
突然好懷念做翻譯的日子哦
*
直到禮拜五才有翻譯做
結果TMD的停電
我摸黑弄着蛋糕預調粉。。。
的問卷
*
這個星期還好
哦 三個方面都有
比較平衡
*
其實就是這樣
一開始 我也很抗拒做response coding
太太太繞口了
哦不 是繞腦
*
其實後來想想也是
我也沒有認真統計過
很多時候 沒有翻譯做的時候
還不是靠這些其他工作
來拯救營業額
*
如果當初果斷不做
今天也不會生存下來了
*
就好像 一家餐廳
總不能只賣一款飲料
大概是一個道理
哦不 我已經戒了所有飲料
*
然後 其實
我想說的就是
現在 感覺
日子再難
只要你有在動手
總是能扛過去的
*
此處應該附上本人的座右銘
“關關難過 關關過”
“三天打魚 兩天曬網”
*
都是些什麼東西
沒有一點正能量
*
明天6點前
還有5千+個字
要搞定
*
如果能夠4點起身就好了
中途還可以出去吃個早餐
*
我的星期五
也沒有念想了
只求不要加班
要加班也行
那週六不要加班
想睡一下
禮拜天可以工作
我沒問題
反正也沒什麼做
*
事情是這樣的
三月初的某天
因為太累
不小心在九點多睡著
*
結果在快 11 點的時候
項目經理發來
一單比較大的案子
就在我早上 6 點看到回复的時候
已經拱手相讓給其他人了
*
雖然隔天接到了
類似的單子
彌補回這個“罪惡感”
*
從此以後
我到 11 點前都不敢睡覺了
偶爾不小心睡著
半夜也得起來查看電郵
*
就因為這樣睡眠品質超不好
大白天又很想睡
但大白天睡覺
錯過電郵的機率會更高
就這樣半睡半醒之間
白天睡了一輪 晚上又睡不著
*
然後 這兩天
為了在午夜12天
網購到便宜一些些的物品
連續熬夜了兩個晚上
就這樣 黑眼圈又跑出來了
感覺恁北的面膜都白敷了
*
而今天 剛剛過了 11 點後
在床上等“下班了”的我
連續收到 3 個歐洲那一段的電郵
哦 別以為 我生意是有多大
其中一單只是為了確認 87 個字
就這樣必須爬起來開電腦
*
另一單還在等對方確認
其實是我壓根不想接的案子
因為這個週末
和友人小出遊+看老王
我不想帶上電腦
*
我在想 歐洲那邊應該是
本地時間 2 點早上下班的吧
是不是代表
我以後的 standby 時間
必須延長到凌晨 2 點
*
哦 不
但是就是感覺
越來越難 一躺下就入眠了
*
怎麼了
是我老了嗎
還是就因為那次被嚇得
再也沒有早睡的勇氣了
*
長輩說
是你的 就是你的
別人怎麼也搶不走
或許是對的
*
突然
太喜歡那種週末
可以早睡的感覺了
不對 別人不都喜歡
週末可以遲睡遲起嗎
*
I have to admit that
I am kinda addicted to the game
i mean yeah since last Single’s Day Sale
followed by 12.12 and
the very recent Lazada Birthday Sale
which is finishing in less than 30 minutes
*
i am done anyway
phone’s locked because
I have zero screen time left
thanks to the long wait due to
heavy traffic yesterday
*
as of 22:42
I have placed 9 orders in total
and cleared the pre-loaded balance in
my e-wallet which I thought
I could never finish this time round
*
let’s see
last night at 12am
there was some hiccups
with the payment system
probably due to heavy traffic
so I couldn’t check out items
until 1am+
that kinda explained why
i ran out of screen time today
*
one of my orders got canceled
but the rest managed to go through
they did compensate me with
a RM20 promo code for the order
in fact I was trying to use a RM40 code
in that particular order
but anyway this compensated code
doesn’t require minimum purchase
*
preparation at different stages
(1) one week before the sale
the KIV stage
deals are announced
vouchers are issued
just add to cart
so that you can see if
this is a low stock item
*
(2) one day before the sale
the bullet loading stage
list down the items
you are really buying
with a table to show
minimum order
for free shipping
for voucher or promo code
*
most importantly
get your payment method(s) ready
reload your e-wallet
get your card(s) ready
try to utilize cashback/rebate
for e-wallet / specific card / bank
in fact there are plenty
might as well list them down
along with your items
*
(3) the sale night
count down stage
kick items which are not really important
out of the cart first
place them in wish list
*
by not important, i mean
those which are not in hot demand
or low in stock
which requires instant check out
once the clock hits 12 am
*
and this is also when
you make up your mind
if you have two similar items
in your cart
when time comes
you seriously don’t have the time
to do eeny, meeny, miny, moe
*
(4) 12am-2am
the sale (war) starts
will be facing problems like
- heavy traffic
– stock running low
- order cancellation
so you don’t expect
all of your orders will get through
from past experience
*
the traffic will kinda die
after 1am
that was when I managed to
pay last night
*
my strategy is
for popular items I really want to buy
in spite of the bad traffic
check out first
and you will eventually get to pay
later when the traffic gets better
*
it’s almost like
buying a hot item in supermarket
having the item in your trolley
means you have at least
get it secured
*
of course don’t do it
for every single item
that you haven’t made up your mind
while people out there are
fighting for limited stocks
*
(5) early morning on sale day
the “redemption” stage
of course
being an early bird
does pay because
there might be pending orders
you didn’t get to
follow up last night
*
so this is your second chance
after many orders like yours
have been cancelled
i.e. unpaid stocks are being released
to re-apply voucher or coupon
for a smooth check-out
*
e.g. surprisingly
at 7:40 am which i considered late
i managed to check out
the same cart of Uniliver goods
i didn’t manage to pay
with the same 50 MYR promo code
for minimum purchase of 150 MYR
*
(6) throughout the sale day
of course this is when
you clear your less prioritized items
look out for special promo released
throughout the day
*
e.g.
i checked out two Switch games
when they release the last round promo code
that was when the last bullet in my e-wallet
was drenched and I even had to reload more
so I got 45 MYR off for two games
*
and I received a 20 MYR
unique voucher code via SMS
for my unpaid order last night
which I used on an Aztec clay mask
that I keep in view
in case need to top up items
in order to apply certain voucher/code
*
well thanks to this voucher
I also paid for a New Balance order
which I thought I will never do
because I got kinda mad
after so many failed attempts to pay
*
hey it seemed that
the order was left unpaid
for more than 12 hours already
but they never did cancel it
so i guess this is a smart strategy
to lure buyers to proceed to re-pay
for items which are not in high demand
so basically I am done
*
flash deals
on top of promo codes
they do drop flash deals
for very limited quantity
from time to time
so do look out
*
I had actually KIV-ed
a Toshiba harddisk
but it was released at 2pm
when I was busy working
and by the time
I managed to check after 3pm
it was already sold out
*
(7) budgeting
last but not least
ask the usual questions like:
how to best utilize the promos?
are you over buying?
are you over spending?
is it something you (really) need?
*
none of these are impulse purchase
i guess
although i was tempted to
those items were secretly buried
in my wishlist, not cart
to avoid this from happening
e.g. a Marshall speaker
or at least a Harman/Kardon
*
i seriously know nothing
about audio quality
except the fact that
it looks kinda cool to have one
in my tiny little personal space
*
in total
let’s see I have spent 1.2k MYR
but the list of items I get is
pretty amazing
- household items from RB
- Herschel bags X 2
- household items from Uniliver
- Nestle Milo X 4 (yes!)
- stackable shoes boxes
- New Balance 331
- Switch games x 2
- Aztec clay mask
*
at the end of the day
i can’t believe how
they are taking money away from me
yet i feel kinda proud of myself
for the so-called mission accomplished
*
should i actually publish this post
then I will face more competition
next time round ><
*
let me take some time to
mourn over a 1k USD worth of project
which flew into my window
but kinda disappeared because
i was too tired and slept early
*
had a super long day yesterday
started at 4:15 am
and working none stop for
almost 12 hours before
i paused for late lunch
cum early dinner
*
so i was already in bed
by 8 something and
fell asleep before 10 am
*
waking up at 6am
to find that
a large volume (easy) task
landed in my email on 11pm
*
damn
6am was like too late
already assigned to
someone else
*
what can i do with
1k USD
one month living expense
one week trip to somewhere near
one easier month as
there is less pressure on sale
*
anyway what to do
i have my phone all the time
even if i am travelling
not because i am
a social media addict
but given incidents as such
from time to time
you can totally understand
*
damn
from now on
even sleeping early
gives me a sense of guiltiness
*
anyway
to make myself feel better
i mean not getting 1k
is better than forking out 1k
for some damage done
*
it’s like landed on a lucky space
but ended up with nothing
instead of landed on an unlucky space
and ended up with a penalty
*
i am not not lucky enough
but not unlucky
right
*
March 4th, Georgetown
Jan ended really good
super busy in the middle
and rested well to
start the super worrying month
with…
*
1st
Lunar New Year
so you have to take
a couple of days off
work calendar
*
2nd
it’s obviously
a shorter month
so you have to take off
like 5 working day
which is almost like a week
*
3rd
Lunar New Year itself
always stresses me out
can’t wait to get over it
seriously
*
4th
and what it’s like 5th Feb
the month usually starts slow
then you are off for celebration
before you know it
it’s already the
middle or even end of the month
*
but anyway
it didn’t end bad
i wasn’t even tallying my sales
until 27th Feb
because I didn’t want to know
*
thanks to a project
which haunted me
for a couple of long nights
from home, to Taichung
then Kaohsiung and
finally back home again
*
throughout the months
keyword description
for products of different type
*
so basically
for every single segment
first i have to refer to the
reference page and sometimes
doing additional research
on the keyword itself
because how can you translate
something if you are not
even sure of the meaning
*
killer project indeed
but thank goodness
it didn’t really
interfere with my other deadlines
as this was already predicted
as a low month
in fact it saved the month
*
come to think of it
i kept telling myself that
it wasn’t tough
just time consuming
due to heavy research
*
but it kinda brushes up
my research skill
i mean yeah
especially given the fact that
i hardly blog abut stuff which
requires research these days
*
and it’s product research
which can be treated as
online shopping activity
get paid to do window shopping
but without actually buying
how good does that sound
*
so the week in Taichung
started on Day 2 of Lunar New Year
i was basically still working
on New Year’s Eve and
even Day 1 of Lunar New Year
*
but got a short break on Day 2
not exactly considered a break
since i was travelling
*
but in short
the timing was good
before i went back to
heavy research work on Day 3
*
this was my third(-in-a-row)
Lunar New Year Escape trip
but surprisingly
I had the most festive
Lunar New Year ever
in different places
across/near Taichung
*
it’s a myth how
i consume and digest Chinese content
perfectly well
but can’t really
spit out content in Chinese
well work is an exception
of course
*
March 3th, Petaling Jaya
It’s true that concert makes me
travel more locally in Malaysia
since last July
when i went Cameron Highland
for the first time
*
i actually went back again
with friends back in January
*
then i had two family trips to Penang
Sept, Dec, and coincidently
the gap is another 3 month
this time round for a live show
*
so this is actually a back-to-back trip
First show in KL on Saturday
followed by Penang show
on Sunday
*
so i came back
pretty early by 11pm
not sure if it was the Lucozade
don’t feel sleepy at all
*
so i decided to work
after 12
since I was awake anyway
that would left me more time
to explore Georgetown
if want to
*
finished by 2 something
and i ended up sleeping at 4am
watching TV
*
gosh
flight at 1pm
planning to go out at 9am
for a proper breakfast
and i kept waking up
probably fearing that I will oversleep
*
so i was officially awoke by 6am
but it’s okay
i will probably die
after the show tonight
like any other time
at least I have got my work done
*
It wasn’t exactly a smart choice to
fly on a Wednesday
i know i know
*
but i wanted to be
more settled in
before the show on Friday
*
and i am usually
not that busy on a Wednesday
usually but not always
*
knew about the show on 27 Dec
ticket bought, NTD 600
thinking if i didn’t come
it wouldn’t hurt so much
but soon
i got my flight ticket secured on 29 Dec
*
so 13 Jan (Wed)
there i went to the airport at 5:15 am
flight at 10 am
thank goodness
i didn’t take the 7am flight
which requires overnight stay
*
it was hell of a busy week
like what the hell is going on
*
in fact it started last week
during my staycation in KL
and another night in Cameron
*
i didn’t sleep the whole night
Saturday – Sunday morning
then kept rushing all the way
*
in fact i had miscalculated the word
damn damn damn
it shouldn't have taken me
so so so long
Sat-Sun-Mon
the whole of Monday
to finish a task at
the supposed volume
*
the Monday craze was over
then Tuesday was equally busy
while adding more deadlines
which will last me
until the end of the week
*
in other word
before i even flied
i knew that there is going to be work
every single day
*
without wasting time
i spent 2 hours working on the plane
until my battery died
*
and when I was ready to go to bed
i have added three more deadlines
for Thursday
just like a normal working day
*
so I spent the whole Thursday working
just like a normal working day
only went out like
in the evening for
food and grocery
just like a normal working day
*
Friday
thank goodness
i managed to finish
slightly earlier
supposed to collect the
show ticket at 4 pm
which i did
*
but the show wasn't starting
until 7 am
but i can't possibly
bring a laptop to a livehouse concert
*
so i had the most free 3 hours
for the whole of this week
eating slowly
chilling by the road
near Huashan Creative Park
*
then the concert finished
damn back to reality
thank goodness
nothing new has came in
but but
i have a super huge volume
to finish by end of the week
*
Saturday
spent the whole day working again
until I had to go out
for another show by the same band
*
the venue was a bit far
so i kinda hesitated
or should i just stay back
and do work
thank goodness
progress wasn't not too bad
so i finished like 1/3
before going out
*
for another super chill evening
unplugged session
until i had to come back to reality again
*
time was running out
end of Sunday
if you were to be lenient
can easily interpret that as
early morning on Monday
*
but i have to check out of hotel
during Sunday noon
and my flight is Monday midnight
*
so that didn't leave me with
a lot of time
i had thought of a couple of solution
*
okay if i can't finish my work on time
i probably have to extend hotel stay
for another night
just to get it done
but in fact I just needed the room
for a couple of hours
*
or i can get another hotel
nearer to Taipei Main Station
so that I can rest assured that
i am a train ride
away from the airport
but i had 2-3 hour gap
in the middle after checking out
and then into the next hotel
*
working in a cafe
anywhere will do
that sounds more feasible
without sacrificing my Sunday
*
so i started working furiously
after the show ended
and after a hot shower and supper
until 2am in the morning
i was all ready to go all the way
until the next morning
just like last Saturday
*
until the online portal was down
for maintenance
damn 5 hours
*
that kinda means
i couldn't work for 5 works
from 2-7 am
the wee hour with best productivity
*
so i forced myself to go to bed
since there's nothing else to do
*
but thank goodness
i was automatically awake at 4 am
hey the system was back to normal
*
let's get back to work
and guess what
i managed to finish
the task by 10:30 am
*
perfect timing
1 hour to prep before
checking out at 11:30 am
*
leaving the backpack with them
i roamed my way to Tamsui
there was a smaller piece of work
to finish by end of Sunday too
*
so my initial plan
was to find a cafe
and get it done there
*
but those popular choices
were way too packed and noisy
so i ended up doing
and completed 50% of it
at the dining area at 7-11
until my battery died
*
so i headed back to hotel
to collect my backpack by 5 pm
i didn't have to be that early actually
but the real intention was to
get everything finished
so that i don't have to
rush my way
after touching down at 4:30 am at KL
*
can't believe
the week is almost over
and i will wake up back home
i haven't been doing much
touristy activities this time round
but i have still enjoyed Taipei
*
the roaming
the supper
the tea
the beer and music
*
i love my life
seriously
*
就是自從去年底
連續完成了幾個
好考耐力、耐性、耐心的案子後
發現整個人就變得一直很restless
*
就是工作依然在繼續
就是坐不住很長時間
躺下來卻睡不著覺
可以耍廢一整天
*
今天雖然
同時間在跑著3-4個單子
居然有時間睡了
一個超滿足的午覺
*
然後順利把
今天要交付的都完成了
還有時間出去走了一圈
*
這都不是重點
重點是回來後發現了這個
《想妳的彼暗》巡演
*
突然感覺
動力又回來了
*
我電郵都發了
機票也找好了
不貪心
就看兩場 謝謝
*
在這之前
下星期 就是下星期
先看美秀集團的《電火王》最終場
*
哎喲 靠這樣來找動力
這樣有點可悲
不是嗎？
*
也不是啦
每年到了這個時候
一年到頭累積下來的
汗水淚水
也沒有什麼
獎勵鼓勵激勵機制
*
所以《電火王》台北行
算是我給自己回報的年終獎勵了
不謝
*
然後《想妳的彼暗》
就當作年初開工激勵了
不謝
*
還少一點什麼鼓勵
待定。。。。
*
過了一會鼓勵就從天而降了
主辦方回復了
三月底 有老王！
對 就是Your Woman Sleep with Others
的那個老王
*
今天也算是
開工開課第一天
想說一家人出去吃個飯
*
手頭上的工作也做完了
然而接到電郵
5：45分會收到一份
需要最後sign-off的file
*
其實很清楚
每次說好的時間
都是不怎麼準時的
還45分叻
*
等到六點
電郵來了
說大概今天不會收到了
*
吼吼吼
能夠準時下班的感覺太好了
先拼一場瑪利歐
再出去吃個飯
然後準時10點睡
感覺很幸福了
*
今天才第二天
說好的過五不食呢？
第二天就卡關了
*
入行的第五個年頭
祝：早睡早起
*
現在剛好播到這首
就這首好了
*
愛上你 / 李英宏 feat. 萬方 / 誰先愛上他
*
元旦快樂
其實有這個想法
也有一段時間了
就是想堅持
每天隨便 寫點什麼
*
可能就用一個單詞
好像以前老師佈置作業這樣
就隨便寫點什麼
*
今天是元旦
就從今天開始好了
反正也不知道
可以堅持多久
呵呵
*
昨晚是跨年
然而我七點半就睡了
真不是我厭世
頭真的好痛
*
這一個月半以來
感覺好像
每1-2個禮拜
就生病一次
什麼嘛
*
但是也沒有好好休息
最近剛更新的一個狀態為
“你以為我有時間頭痛嗎”
其實是Panadol普拿疼的廣告詞
再加上科米蛙
在喝立頓茶的頭像
*
真的 忙起來
沒有時間頭痛
都是哎呀 趕完這波
到時有的是時間頭痛
但是就是這樣一波接一波
*
到上個週末 一陣頭痛
直接躺到下午4點
然後跨年夜就直接睡了14小時
*
那種感覺超爽的
因為隔天起來開手機
哦 沒有電郵
而由於是全世界在放假
所以不必擔心沒有電郵
是你自己有問題
這點很重要
*
我很久就沒有抱著睡得太久
一睡醒有人找我找不到
或者有節日祝賀簡訊的那種
呵呵 果然沒有
*
平安夜那天也是
雖然在外旅行
夜景也可以
就是出奇早睡的
節日恐懼症果然
不分地點
*
感覺經過這樣一睡
把去年的 sleep debt
一次過還清了
我們互不相欠了
*
今天就這樣
浪費了一天
也是夠了
其實今天應該
是全天工作日
*
算了 算了
現在是晚上九點半
我要開工了
*
好不容易換完了sleep debt
又要開始累積了
*
週末分別有兩個
必需出村的聚會
哦 這個情況算是罕見
在這之前 希望還有時間
再來一次超熟的午覺
*
歌詞好像不怎麼搭
但是畢竟借用了歌名
*
浪費一整天 / 宇宙人
