When life gives you lemon, should you give lemonade back?

Hello turbo 😋

Life has been going really great this year, it’s 5 days to my birthday and I have a lot to plan in this year.

So far life is going in a very crazy.

I’ve planned to write some stuffs back in June, just to mark my 6 months here, keeping the tradition alive of writing a blog every 6 months.

But it’s just been very crazy lately.

The Chinese New Year

Alright first of all, I’ve settled for about 7 months already in Hong Kong. The culture, history, and people here are so nice. Everything suits me, enjoying this place, exploring things at its finest is the only word that I could describe my experience with.

In January, I’ve had some cooking experiences brought me back to life. I live with a coworker in a flat. He was so nice, and so is the host. Stayed there for a good 3 months, then moved out. During winter I hiked a lot, I hiked by myselves. It turns out that recently I’ve heard there was a 37 years old man that hiked the same place (Lion Rock) was accidentally slipped and unfortunately had to take a rest forever.

February was a good month, I was exploring the online shopping in Hong Kong, which mainly uses taobao.

A good fellow coworker of mine also introduced me to dancing. Although now I’ve mostly don’t do it any more, but I got to know him well enough as a dancer.

February was crazy too.

For a good and enjoyable time, I made myself a fun trip in Hanoi, it was a mere exploration, but I stayed one night in Hanoi, spending Chinese New Year there, met someone heterochromia, that is now my girlfriend.

Nah im just joking

I dont even get her IG or any social media hahhahah

Had some good talk with my high school friend, was a short trip, I got home after about a week in Indonesia.

Was very fun!

Im back to HongKong and brought some water based nail polish from Indonesia.

February, is insane.

Nice to know you, dear stranger.

February 18 is a very unique experience.

I was looking for a new place to settle in Tai Po.

thus finding someone who was tryna look for a house for his helper to settle.

He is somehow a very rich person that used to own a very big house in Tai Po.

I was invited to his house, eats the fish, and siu mei that they bought.

Hocky in the future, This is your own story:

But it was insane

Lmao, i also had a good dance performance this month.

March?

Is insane too.

I’ve hiked into a very dangerous place in Tuen Mun, also marking my last high during this very cold winter.

oh yeah, I hiked by myself.

No path

FInding wood dogs.

No gloves.

insanely dangerous, steep

slippery.

This year I also had my first business trip to Suzhou

Thus, marking my conversion to indonesian rupiah thought broken.

I can say for sure, at this point I’m already very used to Hong Kong and living abroad.

And also, marked my first 70 kgs With a very very low muscle weight.

Yet im still practicing for ICPC too.

Suzhou is insane.

World Finals

In April, I’ve moved to innocell, im finally living by myself!

April 12, I went to Egypt in a solo trip,

I haven’t recovered from Suzhou, and I’m eaeting much more in Egypt.

What an insane experience. This marked my peak competitive programming era, thus also ending it.

May however, is the start of my language learning era.

I ended 28th April with eating the best ramen I’ve had in my life in tai po, also opted in for 4 courses.

Also took a Circle DNA test, hahahahha

Maycau

Ive recovered from Suzhou and Egypt.

my weight is finally normal.

Checking world final in my bucket list actually triggers much more bullet points

I found shangrila frontier, which is a good anime

meet kak mita, laoshi silvia, laoshi pan, laoshi ellen,

Went to a solo trip in Macau,

Found some good places to play pump it up.

starting to go, to the gym.

Finally figuring out there is no way I can outrun the diet in Hong Kong,

Managed to get the lowest body fat Ill ever get in my life.

My extreme diet era begins.

It’s just me and me doing cardio like a crazy bitch every night while still doing language courses.

This is peak learning, which got me HSK 2 in just 1 month.

Summer was crazy hot though But hey, at least someone is coming next month.

something is coming.

Hi 姐

Wait wait wait.

Hold up, how the fuck I reached 60.9 kgs again?
