Another update!

Major news: I have left my job.

I'll be honest, i left because of my own personal mentality, not because of my physical condition or the environment. Having said that, it's not as though the environment that is really suitable for working.

I have worked through a period of 7 days, some morning and some night shift. Basically i felt that i have in fact, learnt a lot about their process of working, moving and putting up goods, placement, arrangement and organisation. It was fun, i really enjoy a few moments there.

...but i am sure that when the dreaded time to idle comes, i'll be having second thoughts. It's funny how when i asked the more experienced people if there's anything to do, they only answered a simple "Don't know". When i did something wrong, i wasn't reprimanded and told the correct way of doing it, but they only let out a sigh, shook they head, then proceed to correct the mistake without taking time on telling how to do it. I personally felt that i was more a hindrance than a help there, one of the main reasons i left.

I do felt sorry when i left, i mean, there were really nice people there, like Auntie Susan. She would correctly guide me to do what i did wrong, and gave me a lot of help during my work time. Yet, i know that i will regret if i stay. That place is not suitable for a person like me, who use more brains than brawl in solving my problems.

What i am thinking of doing are jobs that doesn't last for a week...odd jobs. They're more like errands, with monetary rewards, like distributing flyers, traffic surveying etc. I feel that, after this experience, i am not mentally prepared to work full-time (That is, 6 days a week). Some time, some day, i just felt like staying at home and sleeping through. I know that those are situations i will face in the future, but...i just can't find the right words to phrase this, other than: I'm just not prepared.

While working, i also wanted to learn as much as possible. I thought that: If i wanted to get into a specific kind of course in a university, i can start getting familiarized with the syllabus and start reading out. I'm particularly interested in Physics. No idea why, but i feel that Physics play a big part of our lives. I guess i can be called a fanatic in that sense, but i really like it (Probably because it is mechanical).

Returning to school next week to motivate the graduating students. Somehow, the closer the date comes, the more nervous i felt. I'm a good impromptu speaker, recognised by a lot of people in my school, as well as teachers. I have confidence in what i say and how i say it, so much that even if i said something wrong and doesn't make any sense, i'm still able to convince people with my confidence. I only hoped that it'll work the same next week.

I was wondering whether or not to do a Music Treat today...but nah, i'm a little lazy...even though i just woke up! I'll see you later.

Sometimes it just is not enough to say it. You must show it through your actions.

 Day 2...but i will be writing about yesterday instead. I set off early in the morning at 8am towards Tokyo station from my hotel. It was a good 20 minutes walk and with decent, cooling weather as well. I found out that opposite my building is a Konami building (although, later in the day when i return i would find that the building houses their Esports studio and school. I managed to get a Welcome Suica card at the Information Cafe of Tokyo station after a good 10 minutes of looking at the directory. The process of getting the card was simple as the staff was able to communicate in English. After i have gotten the pass, i started to look for Shinkansen ticketing machines. Because i was leaving in a short while, all of the reserved seats are already occupied and there was not much of a choice here. The plus of a non-reserved Shinkansen ticket is that you are free to board the non-reserved cabins anytime, as the ticket lasts for 4 days. I arrived at the platform to mad crowding. The...
 Holy RA it's already near the end of April of 2025. Since the last post i've made a second booking to Japan, been there and returned. The visit this time was less of a rush but at the same time, i spent more time relaxing (idling) in the hotel. Originally i've planned annual visits in October of each year but i kind of felt like going again. So i made a booking towards the end of January. Unfortunately, the timing is not really good this time as the weather was pretty dark and gloomy throughout the trip. The Sun only showed up at the last 2 days of the trip. --- This time, i've visited Shizuoka again for its sushi. Same store. Same taste. I've also went to Enoshima and had "Enoshima Don", a seafood egg rice. I've mistaken "Yurantei" for the "Uomitei" that i wanted to visit. Nonetheless, the food is good. I'll visit someday again. Also, fulfilled my dream of taking the Sunrise Express, visiting Izumo and the famed Izumo Taisha (...
 ...with how tired i was in Japan daily, it was easy to leave out writing. For example, i'm already back in Singapore. Following the previous post, i made my way to Ueno Park, Senso-ji in Asakusa, Shikansen down to Shizuoka and visited Sunpu Castle, took a river cruise around Sumidagawa with Tokyo Cruise and ended a full day trip spending money in Akihabara buying old consoles. I'll think about whether i want to go into the details. The last actual day, Friday 18 Oct, was kind of a waste as i was "kicked out" of the hotel early and spent the day in the Airport instead. The storage was full so i couldn't leave my luggage in the airport and go somewhere else. I also can only check it in only 3 hours before the actual flight. It's a good trip overall, even with all the downtime. I am already looking forward to returning next year. I am also going to go for a Business class seat again next year.
