Window Tint
I recently had window tint installed on the windows in my living room. The tint helps reduce glare and heat, and it also provides UV protection for sunny days in Chiangmai.
Currently, my condo is quite messy. I've given up on cleaning it for now because the furniture installation involves drilling into the concrete and cutting to size, which would make cleaning futile. Instead, I've decided to leave Chiangmai for a while. I plan to travel to Pattaya for a few days and then take a two-hour taxi ride to Bangkok. In Bangkok, I'll spend a few days shopping, dining at rooftop restaurants (something Chiangmai lacks), and making plans for the rest of the year.
Hopefully, a week or two after I return, my condo will be completed. On August 16, I'll head to Buriram to obtain a new visa. After that, depending on the poll results, I’ll set off for a big trip in October. I'm aiming to align it with China's National Day to take advantage of a week off since my jobs are based in China, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Speaking of jobs, I'm also considering making a career change in 2024. Although I generally enjoy my current jobs, I'm looking for something better. It's challenging to convey to anyone reading this since I'm the one working at each job, but they all feel somewhat limited. KrASIA is facing financial issues, Conductive is a Web3 startup struggling to launch any product and constantly pivoting, which means redoing all the marketing materials—an annoying process. On the other hand, China.org.cn is just monotonous, with the same tasks every day. I plan to fulfill my contracts and finish out the year with these jobs and then take some time to find a job that aligns not only with my skills but also with my interests, if that's even possible. I'll see how things progress—it's difficult to consider leaving my jobs since I've been spending a lot of money renovating the condo and paying for repairs to fix the mistakes made during the initial renovations. Hopefully, these will be one-time fixes, and I can start saving again.
