I started with no plans for my birthday week but with brilliant planning today, I have concluded my week's itinerary. I shall visit all the aquariums in Tokyo that I have not yet visited and spend a whole day inside with the fishes.

28 Sep 2020

Day of doing chores, cleaned up the house, dishes, toilet, bedsheets, laundry and the list goes on. Doing housework is like working out. My dream is to stay in a service apartment one day.

It will be a nice week. I hope I do not get bored with aquariums after this...

Oh blogger changed layout. It is always nice to see something new.

Been on GM diet for the past week. Weight dropped by 3kg and I still need another 2-3kg more to hit my ideal weight. Can I do it before I reach my birthday?

I bought another keyboard - Niz Atom 66. I was really interested in electro-capacitive switches and wanted to try one. It has since replaced the Archiss Tiny brown Cherry switch in my office. Reason for the change was that I found that typing on the brown switch the whole day makes my fingers a little tired. With the current board at actuation force of 35g, it is really nice and light. So much so to the point where typing on the Macbook actually felt really heavy now. Another reason why I decided to use that board in office is also due the silent keys. There are no clanks from the keystroke and everything feels smooths and quiet.

There could be some drastic changes to my work. I am excited to embark on a new adventure but nothing has been decided yet. I am in a standby mode, waiting for the green light so that I can start to accelerate. 

I am going to Shizuoka this weekend! Very looking forward to it!

There are some left over thoughts in my brain which is no good. Sometimes when I focus on those thoughts, it actually makes my heart ache with pain.

Where will I be going to next?

Glorious September. Every year during September, I get fired up to try to accomplish the goals I set forth for myself. My dateline for each life goals terminates at my birthday. So my current goal is to get BMI under 20,which means I need to lose 5-6kg. Been thinking of some diet and of course exercise for the whole month. Thinking and planning but once again, with no action.

I cannot be like this!! Nooo,please I need to change. I need some good new habits if I am going to age like fine wine. There is this 50 something year old guy that looks totally like 30. I aspire to be like him.

Been travelling quite a lot these days, all thanks to my hyperactive friends. I live in a rock and I need people to pull me out. Of course I am trying to become more social as well and also maybe trying to expand my circle of friends. But I do find that I am not good at all with strangers. I get kinda tense and I do not feel like communicating much...unless that person approach me and talk. If not I will not talk. My friend say I look bored every time she brings me travelling with strangers. I told her I am not bored, I am enjoying myself but I just do not feel like communicating. It gets better in the day after I spend more time with them. In any case, I am a better communicator 1v1. In a group I will think about everyone that is present and what is appropriate to talk, so my brain is in a state of mess and I end up letting whoever likes to talk continue and I will stay quiet. Unless I sense that no one in the group is talking, then I will step in and be the one talking. I have always been like this and I think this trait will continue throughout my lifetime.

Recently there are many financial matters that I need to handle. My rent agreement arrived and I need to sign it, my fixed deposit matured and I need to re-invest my cash, my GE credit card is changing regulations and I need to figure out if it is still worth to keep it (and it is linked to my insurance!! so it is very annoying), I need to apply Rakuten/Epos credit card, I need to sort out my Carousell business...the list goes on and on...

Been watching too many shows recently. I think it is a good time to go back to reading some books. Which means I need to apply for a library card at Nakano Library. And I NEED TO FIGURE A WAY TO UPDATE MY NIRC PHOTO BEFORE MY BDAY! This is so annoying, it has been in the back of my mind since the year start and I have no energy to figure it out. There are some things that we are just very weak at. Cannot be avoided. 

To end it, I wish for my body to be healthy and at a nice weight. Once your physical body changes, your mind also will change and when your mind changes, your emotions will too. Change is now...NOW!
