I will be on that plane to San Francisco this Saturday, two weeks after I have returned from Shanghai. Two weeks here has already been a bit too long I think. I miss the San Francisco Bay Area. Of course, I am sure being on the ground in a few days shall put me back in touch with an un-idealized picture, but still.
I get annoyed all the time at my ex-crush, the way he never ceases to talk about himself and dissses the world and filling his rants with Chinese expletives, the way he still flirts with the private equity girl, the way he just doesn't care about me. I have moved on but sitting next to the guy doesn't help.
I definitely will spend more time in Shanghai after I return from San Fran. I have already begun to clean up my apartment so that I can rent it out when I am gone in the future. I think it is doable. I bought a file cabinet with a lock so I can lock up my personal stuff. My automatic fish feeder seemed to have done the job last time. I am now buying the tube to automatically empty my dehumidifier box so that I won't come back to an apartment with mold growing. I think everything is under way. I also got into more of a home improvement mode. Whether it is changing my sink cabinet or kitchen cabinet and installing an oven, why don't I just make my humble abode more liveable? It should ultimately be better rental value or resell value. Pet project, besides maybe picking up golfing or tennis. Market is bad, but why not take the time to enjoy things while one can.
I daydream more often of settling back in the Bay Area, at least for a little while. Can I just quit and go? Without school as a break now, career just seems like an endless conveyor belt of days strung together that turn into years and decades. Is it possible to stop and think? I always wanted meaning in my life. Not to say that that I don't have it, but am I destined to live just an ordinary uneventful life? One filled with reports and overtime in the office. Is it possible to achieve more grandeur than that?
In light of making this blog a bit more fun, I'm trying to add a few pictures here and there to jazz it up.
