Was planning to make up for the half-marathon run that was deterred by typhoon Saola last week, but it was once again forced to cancel due to rain this week. I asked my calligraphy teacher to start half-an-hour early on Thur. evening so that I can leave early for my scheduled half-marathon run. Light rain started after class, so I decided to go back to the studio to do some work instead. When I left work at around 10:30pm, the rain started to get heavy. I took bus home as usual and had an ice-cream at McD before walking back home. The rain escalated from red to black heavy rain signal during the short ice-cream indulging interval. It was pouring cats and dogs, and I saw some minor flooding on my short walk home. Immediately after arriving home, I posted on IG saying that it was the rainiest day I had ever experienced!
I wasn’t exaggerating, the heavy rain turned out to break all records since weather recording began in 1884! The nearest subway station (Wong Tai Sin) from my home was actually flooded entirely and the nearby mall had the entire bottom floor submerged in water! The videos posted online felt surreal.
The unexpected extreme rain caught me totally unprepared the next day. I was bored and felt restless at home. Managed to get back to the studio to work in the late afternoon as the bus slowly returned to service.
Accomplished less than I planned this past week. I managed to complete the custom sea scout minifig project that was postponed by typhoon. Also made some related 3DP boat samples. Bumped into my studio neighbor/client on Sat. and showed him the minifig and boat samples. He seemed happy with the results and had commissioned some 3DP boats on top of the completed minifigs!
Sat. was actually my most productive day of the week. Besides showing the commissioned 3D prints to my neighbor/client, I managed to go to two separate workshops (tie dye and Chinese painting) and had dinner at my parents’ place.
Time is running out with less than a month left before my scheduled Q4 break to take a breather from this suffocating city. Need to accelerate and pick up my pace this week, add oil!! 💪🏻🙏🏻
