2023/03/06: January

January was the best and worst month ever

being the best because

i finally got to enjoy Lunar New Year

the way i should

*

pre-Covid

i chose to escape to TW during Lunar New Year

for 4 years in a row

celebrating without the socialisation part

but yes

it was quite tiring

*

and managed to

travel for the very last time before

border closure on Feb 2020

*

then post-Covid

due to social distancing requirements

hey look

there’s no more visiting

so i had a pretty good time too in 2021

*

then there came 2022

the first year i got to celebrate

at my own place

*

but unfortunately was cut short

since i started working on Day 3 of the holidays

*

that made the Lunar New Year of 2023

even better because

in terms of workload

i had the worst month since June 2020

*

so i actually got to enjoy

throughout the whole Lunar New Year

went to the well-decorated city centre

for at least 4 times 

*

Day 2 – for temple hopping

Day 8 – for phototaking

Day 12 – for a meetup

Day 15 – for the finale event

*

anyway

i could probably write this at ease now

since things got better after the New Year

perfect timing to make up for the income gap

*

will i still consider about

flying off somewhere during Lunar New Year?

not for the time being

why should i pay for the expensive tickets etc.

when i could have a pretty good time here

*

everything fits in well

* post-covid

* moving to a new place

* more manageable workload

*
