Back and somewhat adjusted for jetlag.
After hearing New York Phil in Taipei, I'm pumped to do more practising!
And I was told that Hong Kong Sinfonietta usually have auditions in June, so maybe I should shorten my stay next year to May till end of June.
If 2 months aren't enough to do the renos in my family apartment, I guess I can stay till July.
Haven't spent summer in Hong Kong without air condition for a long time, it's just too hot for anything to survive...
And maybe I'll spend some time in Taipei as well, since I'm already there.
My biggest concern is bringing Daemon over during such a humid season, and finding an emergency luthier to do any kind of work on him just gets on my nerves.
Hopefully I'll have David do some adjustments on Daemon before next year comes.
It's such an expensive move.
In both the sense that I'd be spending a lot over there, and giving up so much in Toronto.

Huh
Hmm.... just got a few gig calls just when I'm mentally ready to leave the scene here.
What exactly is karma trying to tell me?
That I should resist temptations and keep on with my new path?
Or stay on my current path and expect no change since I have random opportunities here?
Puzzling.

Making changes
I'm not upset at all that I was too nervous and lost the audition.
I'm actually opened to the idea of moving out of my comfort zone and venture to the Asian market!
My ideal world would be living in Taipei and having a performing job there, but since I'm not Taiwanese landing a government funded orchestra job is next to impossible.
So I'm thinking of starting out in Hong Kong and see what can be offered there.
At least it's warmer there and I have close family nearby still.
My plan is to go back to Hong Kong for 6 months in January 2019 and spend that time making connections.
And during 2018 I can see if my Chinese contacts here can help me make connections over there.
Then I can at least cover my spendings for the duration of my stay.
One door closes, another Doraemon door opens!

The neverending story
I finally found my story outline and did some revisions on it.
It's been way too long since the story was first started, so I need to end it eventually.
When I write something, or anything at all, I tend to just doodle rather than plan things through.
So the timeline is kind of messed up XD
Took me the whole night to sort things out and put an ending in.
I think I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. There are things in there that I wrote in and never quite understand why it's there, and now it made sense. Truly amazed how my mind had a way of foretelling things that I would encounter these past 10 years.

Things to accomplish
1) Revisit Resin
I have left the resin casting study for quite some time now... and it's not fully mastered yet. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it back up sometime this year.
2) Fulfilling Arrangements
Got some very outstanding arrangements that I've wanted to do for my own fun. Looking forward to finish a few over the summer!
3) Learn Korean
Yup, it's now in my plans to learn a completely new language! Not only learning Korean can get me through recipes easier and converse with Koreans here, but also to plan travels down the road in Korea and learn makgeolli making properly.
That's what I've wanted to do so far!
Very fwe things, but long road ahead.
