I did the laundry during the day and then played some games with Fei Ge. Took the bus back to Kunming to prepare for my visa application. After getting off the subway, Da Huang picked me up on his bike. Then we went to a barbecue stall and had fried rice, oysters, and small yellow croakers.
12:09 A Previous Bad Habit I used to have a bad habit—I loved frequently updating systems and software. However, this often led to various issues, increased read/write operations on storage hardware (shortening its lifespan), and caused system problems due to update-related bugs. Now, I’ve developed a slightly better habit: I’ve learned to coexist peacefully with update notifications. I no longer update unless absolutely necessary and no longer actively seek out new features—though I still keep an eye on the new functionalities introduced in updates. ...
Another day wasted today, always looking for something to numb myself. After sending Huanhuan off at noon and returning to the rental room, I ended up playing games with Feige all afternoon, couldn’t win no matter what, but it didn’t really matter anyway.
This morning, I received a call about the express delivery of my ID card. I thought it hadn’t started shipping yet, but unexpectedly, it had already arrived. I quickly washed my face in a hurry and went to pick it up.

I just can’t seem to control my mind. 02:35 Got Up to Cook Instant Noodles Couldn’t sleep at all, so I thought about taking a melatonin pill. But I could clearly feel my stomach growling, and after watching Wu Banbao’s video, I decided to get up and cook a pack of instant noodles. Eating a bit more might help me sleep better anyway. Took the pill afterward and got ready to sleep. ...
I didn’t plan well today. I was supposed to go to Chongqing today and get my fingerprints recorded tomorrow. But I kept procrastinating until the afternoon, and then it was too late. I’ll go on Monday to get it done, and I might as well get the medical checkup done at the same time. In the afternoon, I played games with Brother Fei all day and lost every match. We were both confused yet somehow content. ...
09:40 Started Preparing Visa Application Materials Finished the Client Information in the morning and filled out all the required forms in the afternoon. Also, I found a translation company on Taobao to translate my ID card and no-criminal record certificate for 50 yuan. 17:37 Materials Almost Ready My eyes feel a bit strained from staring at the computer for too long. Planning to cook dinner—golden beans and potatoes tonight—and also give Fei Ge a call. ...
