Opaque October

I felt like October just whizzed past me.  So many things happened over a span of less than 31 days.  Work has been unforgiving as usual.  I'm strongly considering to ask for an internal transfer as soon as I'm eligible because I really cannot stand the pace and an ambitious team mate who's willing to make me look bad so that he can get ahead.  There's also this other colleague who's so stubborn, sitting with him for a meeting earlier this month almost triggered my panic attack again.  It was a sensation that I haven't felt in a while but suddenly returned this month.  I guess I have been quite stressed out at work.  I have finished almost 24 muscle relaxant pills this month.....  That's how difficult this month has been...

Anything Batam

I only made 1 entry last month, that's not good.  Lots of catching up to do!  😆😆 Actually I don't have anything much to say either...  From my last entry up to this point I had been busy with work, working on my company's new website.

And for the first time ever in 13 years, I attended company D&D.  I never liked attending some dinner party/dance, etc.  I just don't like parties in general, even more so if it's a company function.  I prefer to see my colleagues as professionals instead of them making fools (or fun.. whichever way they see it..) out of themselves.  In fact during the mass dance event finale, I just stood outside the ballroom, waiting for the whole thing to be over with as I couldn't stand the whole revelry anymore which at that point in time I felt resembled absolute debauchery.

I guess I'll just write something about Batam food from previous mini trips.

I'll start with this nice hyperlapse video which I took with my phone camera in Harbour Front Centre, just prior to departing for Batam. 

A Small Batam Project

Earlier in October I went to Batam for a private project.  I hadn't been to Batam in a very long time so this short visit was quite refreshing.  Things in Batam change at quite a fast pace nowadays, no doubt tourism is still going strong despite the factories and shipyards having gone out of business.  Harbourbay itself is changing as Marriott is shaping up quite nicely.  This complex is looking more and more..... complex....   I had my X-T2 and the XF10-24mm F4 R OIS for this short project.
