When i was informed of my promotion last week, all i thought of was "How untimely."

There's no stopping what's about to come anymore. I am already so disconnected from my current career that i am just not caring about anything about work anymore.

Bare minimum it is until my last day...but i guess i should put in some effort since the letter is still with me.

National Day was yesterday. People got together virtually and celebrated.

It was a rather normal day for me. Except that i went to the mall to buy some sushi because i was feeling like it.

I haven't been to the mall for the longest time. Coronavirus aside, i usually go there for video games. Since recently i've been really out of it, i haven't been playing games much aside from some short burst types to be played on my PC.

Since i planned to leave my job, i also think it through more thoroughly in my head before i spend on anything. Haven't bought any new games for my Switch. Didn't really spend on new games during Steam Sale.

Gotta keep the wallet fat for the long drought to come. It would be nice if the bonus is this week but i am not gonna wait another month to see if it comes.

I am optimistic. Else, i shouldn't be hearing about my backdated promotion.

Fate/Grand Order's Anniversary live stream was a few hours ago. Watched a streamer cry during the stream.

Not that i couldn't understand. The game has accomplished more than a game should.

Makes me feel better about the money i have spent on it.

...which i've spent quite a bit today.

Update frequency slowed down because nothing has been happening. I hope that when i update the next time, i'd have been freed.

 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.
