2025/01/03: November

Kicked start November with a 

concert staycation in town 

for Fujii Kaze concert 

*

as i didn’t expect the travel peak 

in conjunction with Diwali 

was forced to extend the stay 

for another night very last minute 

which was not quite an issue 

as i didn’t have any pending deadline 

*

that was tentatively the last 

concert staycation in town 

which will be much missed 

(but turned out it wasn’t)

*

it was a good way to start November 

as November is usually the month 

i need extra motivation to work hard 

in spite of the months-long fatigue 

due to the extra budget for year-end shopping 

*

but it feels good to buy a little something 

for the loved and close ones 

before the year ends 

*

in fact i started buying Christmas gifts in October 

for low in stock items 

that’s the fun of doing it 

buying something that you think will put a smile

on the face of the person who is about to receive it

*

when the going gets tough 

the tough goes shopping
