2023/09/26: August

had my first solo trip

out of town on a weekday

for a indie band showcase

which has been postponed

due to unexpected circumstance

i.e. election on a Saturday

*

rented an one bedroom unit in city centre

but first let’s fill up the fridge

with some grocery supply

like yogurt, tea, water etc.

too bad it’s only a one day trip

or i could have bought more

*

travelled on train

during peak hour to catch the show

which is somehow far from the city

at the auditorium of an international

*

the train passed by a few “hot” stops

where more and more commuters got in

that was the peak hour train

which i hadn’t experienced for ages

both as a commuter or tourist 

*

but made my way back via e-hailing

which was much faster and safer

but of course less adventurous

*

sat in the living room

munching on chips with tea

while checking out the showcase photos

until late

*

this was the routine back then

but at least i did substitute my carbonated drink

with sugar-free tea

well well well

*

started work at 8am next morning

at the same spot

i.e. the sofa

tackling the tough task

all the way until it was time to check out

*

managed to fill up my shopping bag with snack

from the supermarket downstairs

as souvenir

just like what i did pre-pandemic

*

continued work and got it done on the same day

after i got home in the afternoon

*

fitting in a quick trip in the middle of the week

seems to work pretty well then

even though there was a lot of

hesitation, considerations, and what-ifs

*

that was probably

one of the best things I have done in August

up next

another showcase on a weekday in October

it’s a yes!!!
