Today was a leave day. woke up earlier to go to hydrodash w S! it was good fun, for an hour. then had a japanese lunch that was not so good, and came up to about $30/head. then had a coffee at this place called apartment. which they mentioned have been there for 2 years. its doing well, i rem, someone once said that 99% of businesses fail in their first 2 years, so if they were still there. that means they are doing something right. They had really nice cups that sit nicely with the mouth feel of the coffee, which they mentioned was custom made by a local pottery studio.

Then came back home after that and had a consultation with Archicad teacher, who very kindly went through w me my queries on the about steps. which took 2 hours. crazy! then it was a quick dinner of 2 eggs n duck meat. n now waiting for the miso soup to boil b4 i make it hot. meanwhile time to update my warehouse research on the other blog!

Day 21 Thoughts

 After yesterdays session w L & L. 

one theme that we discussed about came to mind. The obstacles, or seemingly obstacles that L brought up. To me, these were but just temporary. To L, however, even temporary has/ can have a very permanent effect. This was like a new revelation to me. As i never did process things in this manner, even though i think i live in the moment. or so i thought. Perhaps this is why i am a little messy, like to be it is just placing it there for now. it will be adjusted later. where this never happens. and this does go on to affect the space around it. As such, to me i will address this in my actions.

Sometimes, it is not about the best perhaps. It is just to get it going, and the conversations even , that flows as a result, is what shapes it. As the quote of the year goes, 

Knowing is not enough, we have to do

Willing is not enough, we have to apply- Bruce Lee 

About discipline, that L mentions is important, is that Discipline is about setting priorities.

Day 19/20

 Day 19. Friday

A fast one, arrived early so as to discuss the P one. ate a peanut pancake. had a small discussion before, and think that as i didn't contribute too much, i didn't go to the meeting. After just b4 the end of the day, for a summary. things i could have highlight:

-existing double circulation. by cutting out one, and maximizing the island wide accessway

-loading and unloading direction as it was contributing to the double circulation, by changing it instead of 3 sides, 2 sides.* identifying the bottle neck and changing it.

did archicad in the afternoon. and was trying to solve the smallest thing which is just crazy

left office at 7pm to scoot to K place. hotpot. it was a feast. so lucky to be invited to one!

the wind was crazy, n figuring out instructions fr chinatown is a whole different ballgame. went back home after didn't go to S. it was only 10pm though, must be getting old. it was also TG bday. beau setup K dad had done. with a full table of 5 fruits. 2 red trays of sweet candies, the meesua and 5 eggs.

Day 20. Saturday

today started early at 7am. body alarm. met the girls at bishan park for our weekly walk. really starting to enjoy it now. we saw flying roosters. many birdnest ferns and ruffle ferns. then 1130 to WM house. this was a real challenge. but the bigger challenge has gotto be from there to G house. the food was amazing, it was alot of fun! really enjoyed! played cards, gambled, though lost money. received angpao. we had curry chicken, kongba bao, zapchai. amazing tomyum goong, was so full didn't eat the prawn cake. dim sum, ha gao. then played goalpost. then scooted to G house. it was nice to see the cousins, and heart wrenching to hear the story of E n S..and their ailments. but glad to hear that they overcame it. it seems the take-away is that if something is not working, only then fix it. otherwise let it be. 

Almost forgot to type. Definitely didn't forget in my head. but because took a wrong turn, was 15mins late. then had a session w L & L.it was good this one. but don't think it is good enough to solve the problem.
