It&#8217;s this time of the year again, when a hot boring summer comes which vaporizes any mood for doing anything. After I&#8217;m back from my trip to Japan, life becomes a tranquility again. It seems I need new excitement in life; however that&#8217;s an easy conclusion that is hard to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>Work-wise July had been OK. I continue to do things that enrich lives, something I promised myself some time before. But how do I enrich my own life? After all, work can&#8217;t constitute a life completely. One has to play. I thought about getting new gadgets, but in this summer even gadgets get boring. E.g. MBA is just a modest update; rMBP has not yet been released; GX1&#8217;s successor GX7 has no real technological breakthrough (and I don&#8217;t have much chance to utilize a new camera, or lens, anyway). Yes, gadget is a second interest for me, but it just doesn&#8217;t excite me recently.<\/p>\n<p>What about another trip? &#8220;I want to go on a trip on my own,&#8221; I said. &#8220;Cool, let&#8217;s go together,&#8221; said Thomas. So my friends and I suggested a weekend getaway to Taipei (again), but it seems it won&#8217;t materialize in the short term. Perhaps it&#8217;s time to really go on a trip on my own?<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s my plan to learn driving. Yes, I&#8217;ll have the written test next Tues. But for some reason I just can&#8217;t concentrate to study. Well, who would fail that simple test? (Actually my DSA did..) But sadly I heard that it&#8217;ll take a while before you can take the road test, so I was advised not to start learning so fast. That means I&#8217;ll have to find ways to occupy my life in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August.
