Ordinary October

It has been a dull week.  No one at work seems to have time for me.  You see, there's this Robotic Process Automation project which the business owners are keen (or at least to me, they seem keen) to adopt, but at the same time they don't have time for me to just arrange a meeting with the vendor.  As a result I was just doing mundane things in office such as sending reminders, uploading exchange rates, troubleshooting some business application issues.  I swear, the boredom is killing me slowly.

Well at least.... last Sunday there was the Karate grading in which I finally attained a Shodan (初段).  My black belt is now still on it's way from Tokaido.  Hopefully I'll get it soon as I really can't wait to put it on.  

On the other hand, this week I managed to indulge myself in some reading again.

Another Jakarta Trip 2018

About 2 weeks back in end September, I went to Jakarta for 公公's one year passing anniversary.  Instead of the usual Pullman Central Park, this time I decided to stay in PIK nearer to my grandparents' house as we will be going to the columbarium in Mangga Besar.  It was a 4 days and 3 nights stay, I went with just my wife.  Traveled light too carrying only my RX100 Mk3. 

This time I had the chance to experience the new Terminal 3 in Jakarta.  The new terminal looks fancy although it could do with better traffic flow idea.  I don't like how we were made to walk long distances just to reach the immigration counters.

Jalan Membina

About 2 weeks back I had planned to visit Gardens by The Bay to just "walk walk and see see" the lantern installations during mid-Autumn festival, unfortunately the place was jam packed and I had to abandon the plan.  It was a bad idea to visit 3 days before the exhibits were to be taken down.  The fact that it was a Saturday only made things worse.   

Since I was already carrying my X-T2 around, when I almost got home I thought why not go all the way up to 30th floor of my apartment block and see what the view is like from up there.  It was the blue hour anyway.  I had stayed in this block for more than 5 years and never went up at all to see what's it like.  My curiosity was very well rewarded.
