Life#
The more I dislike this daily routine, the more I want life to be a bit different.
I hope all the good things will come ❤️
The Mid-Autumn moon has fallen down
Encountering a small pavilion in the park while riding
Health#
Maybe because the weather has turned cooler, running has been super tiring lately! It could also be because I had 10 tubes of blood drawn for a health check + MRI, and my body is slowly recovering from the strain~
I bought my first pair of running shoes! So happy! Mizuno speed2k. For the first time, I’m happy because my weight is low; my heavy weight needed technology, so entry-level running shoes are not suitable.
I rode 110 kilometers to Xishan Forest Park to watch the sunset. I didn’t see the sunset, but I saw the night view of Beijing 🌉
At Xishan Park, I took a photo with my buddy. He has a Merida Duke 600 from 2600, and I have a no-name bike I bought over ten years ago, haha. As long as my old buddy can still move, I won’t change bikes; it’s that sentimental. Every time I say I want to change bikes, my colleagues think I mean a four-wheeler.
Chasing the sunset!
The sky is about to darken
It's dark now!
I finally got home after riding until 1 AM.
The next day, I rode 60 km to Decathlon to buy the amazing MH500, and just after I bought it, JD had a 300-150 coupon. Luckily, I only tried on hiking shoes and didn’t buy them. In the end, I ordered the MH100 hiking shoes on Dog East. Although it’s an entry-level model, wearing two pairs of thick socks should be fine for climbing snowy mountains. Later, I found out I accidentally bought low-top MH100, which was disappointing. I originally wanted to save money, but I guess I’ll still go for the MH500.
On the way there, I passed by Yunmeng Bridge. I guess it leads to Yunmeng Mountain!
On the way back, it was dark, and my colleague called to eat barbecue. Riding in the dark without streetlights at 20 km per hour, I fell off the chain twice, but it felt really good.
The Wanxianghui in Miyun is really great to stroll around! It's full of people. Later, I chatted with a colleague from Miyun, and he said the reason there are so many people at Wanxianghui is that it's the only big shopping mall in Miyun. That makes a lot of sense.
Work#
Technology is a bonus; more importantly, it’s about how to report to the leaders, all trivial tasks.
It’s ridiculous to still be in a meeting at midnight; the class atmosphere is too strong.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I’m back to being a workhorse. Now I have a very urgent thought: to separate work WeChat from personal WeChat. My wristband reminds me of WeChat messages, and I really want to see the messages my family and friends send me. I really dislike receiving work messages on WeChat because of work. So if my wristband doesn’t remind me, I worry about missing important messages from family and friends. But if I turn on the reminders, it will keep buzzing, which makes me very anxious.
Technology and Software#
I bought the DJI Action 5 Pro standard version, and also bought a selfie stick, a small tripod, and a backpack clip. It’s finally a long-awaited wish! Now that I have my own action camera, I’ll record more! But to be honest, the image quality of the DJI Action 5 Pro is really lacking; the algorithm still needs tuning. The footage from Acepro still looks better than DJI, and it looks good straight out of the camera! But since I’ve already bought it, I don’t regret it; at least I have it now, and whether it looks good or not doesn’t matter. I’ve become a man with an Action 5 Pro!
I watched the Iron Flower show with the Action 5 Pro, along with the Fire Wheel and Fire Pot. After watching, I directly had fried powder, which tasted average. They said it’s a specialty snack from Jilin, but when I asked my Jilin classmate, he didn’t know it either, haha.
We replaced the water purifier at home, and it can actually generate a water usage report every day; that’s amazing! Technology changes life.
Movies, TV Shows, and Books#
In "The Edge of Water," as I got to the later parts, I felt a chill down my spine; everything is manipulated at will. From the appearance of Mao Pan, all the beauty is shattered, and the true nature of Sanbianpo is revealed. I went from wanting to stay in Sanbianpo to wanting to escape from it. Uncle Da is like Emperor Qing, playing with people's hearts.
In "The Hidden Sea Flower," it became interesting starting from the Wild King fighting the typhoon. The earlier parts of the story were a bit dragged out, but there was a kind of horror that made one think deeply. Unfortunately, I haven’t read the book. The reasoning elements in the TV series are quite enjoyable; I really like how small details can lead to the full picture of a story. This might be the charm of reasoning?
I’ve always wanted to watch "The Strong Wind Blowing," but I never had the time. It’s really a great anime! However, running 5 kilometers in 15 minutes and 10 kilometers in over 30 minutes is too terrifying! Are they all superhumans? Because of this anime, I also learned about the Hakone Ekiden and the Paris Olympics marathon. It turns out that such people really exist; it’s amazing! I still need to keep working hard on my running.
Games#
Recently, I re-downloaded "Honor of Kings," and I’m playing like crazy!!! But playing too much feels meaningless; I can’t beat others. I also uninstalled Hearthstone; I just don’t feel like playing anymore.
