As much as I wanna capitalize on sharing my writings everywhere (I just shared this post on Threads too), I still feel like sharing my blog posts on LinkedIn would seem out-of-place, even despite the numerous bullshittery I see there from people who are capitalizing on the reach you can get there 😆

Obsidian pro-tip (and note to self): when embedding blocks from other notes, make sure there is an empty line before AND after your block notation. So it should be… [new line] ^like this [new line] with ample space(s) around it. I was worried my weekly notes would forever have a bug for showing a cert... chisenires.design

Seems like I’ve kept a habit going on for a few months now, albeit not that consistent, but at least i know every month I’ve gone back to my Obsidian

Screenshot of Chi's Obsidian folder labeled '06 TImestamps', which shows a directory for the year 2024, then inside it are folders from February to September without missing a month in between them.

Seems like there really are times where, no matter how much effort you put in, so long as it’s not to “their” ““standards”” or in the way it’s supposed to be indicated, people are unknowingly punished for their actions, even if you’re performing well beyond what you need to do.

Sigh, such is life.

Currently still in hibernating mode after my trip to Singapore. Before that, there was also our department’s team building 😆

Need rest after all that socializing and moving about 😴

Despite feeling a bit out of it and kinda staying within my comfort zone, today was a good first full day at Singapore.

I’ll do my best in the next coming days to get over my fear and just try out food at a hawker centre. 😆 I’m now more prepared and have actual cash in hand just in case hahaha

I am technically here for Figma Config APAC as well, so I’ll just do a bit of design stuff on the side 😁

@rom I already got to try an Apple Vision Pro during a meetup we had last May about the UX of Spatial Computing hehe it was super cool!

I ended up getting an EZLink Card instead because I'm not really that inclined to go to the "touristy" spots just yet 😆 but I am gonna be walking around some of them haha

Going to Singapore later! 😄 First time ever. I’m setting up ways for me to take notes down both online and offline, in the hopes of having enough notes by the end of my trip to gather my thoughts and make myself a highlights recap. 😆

finally finished sorting through the stuff I hauled from my old unit! There’s still a big pile and bags of clothes that are set aside, but at the very least they’re all bundled up together. The rest of the things have been sorted to either trash, or for keeping somewhere. 😆

I’ll also be at Singapore by the first week of July, because I’m attending Figma Config APAC 2024 in-person 😄 Will be my first time in Singapore, so I’ve been asking around for recommendations on things to do. Am also gonna be working remotely there, but contemplating if I should just file the rest of the... chisenires.design

The past month or so has been super hectic! But part of getting back to routine (for me) is also posting on this side of the internet, hence why I’m here again! 😆

I want to eventually figure out a better way to manage my fediverse posting :)) but for now, this’ll have to do

@val Hello! Thank you! And yeah my birthday already passed 😆 I was sick during my actual birthday though so the most I got to do was rest then 😅

As for my parents, I just hope they'll come around... It's already here, and if they try to force me to do anything I will most likely retaliate. Fortunately though, it seems like most of my worries were in my head and everything seems OK so far!

Chi looking at the camera and smiling while at her home workstation, consisting of two monitors mounted on monitor arms, an iPad propped up, and a Macbook Pro elevated with a laptop stand in the middle of her two monitors. On her desk is her split keyboard, her trackball mouse which Chi is holding, and a full deskmat. The chair Chi is sitting on is still a normal dining chair, not her computer chair. Her setup is facing the window, letting natural light in.

My home office setup is (almost) complete 😁

(almost because I haven’t moved my computer chair from the old place yet 😆)
