2019/01/13: Till Then, Taipei

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
