First January in Japan

Time really flies!

It feels like last month went so quickly. I can't even remember what I did. Ah! yes. Currently, I'm playing PUBG mobile. I really want to play this game for so long, but since I still haven't built my PC, I played it on mobile first. Not so bad. At least my phone is capable enough to play and the internet is not an issue here. 

Currently I'm  also watching "Smile You" a Korean drama. I don't think it is very new, so far the story is still good and interesting. Wait, that's all? No.

Still about my bike, I bled the brakes since I accidentally popped out the rear brake piston. Tears on the floor~~. Spend 2300 yen for a bleed-kit with mineral oil. It was not getting better at the first try. So the second time I made sure I learned from my mistakes and it works! What an achievement. Hahahaha 

I also decided to repair my bottom bracket since it was creaking every time I put my power through the pedal. You know what, the technician said that the store which I bought my bike from is famous with their cheap bikes. The problem is not the price. But the handling and quality checks before the bike handed out to the customers. They did not check all the components to make sure everything is tighten enough, the way they handle the bikes is also not good either. The problem with my bottom bracket is that it was not tighten at all. So the water seeped in and corrode the shell. Damn it. Spent 2700 yen for this.

I repaired my bike in the small store. It is a humble yet cool store. The owner already know me also. No discounts, but I believe with his expertise. He worked as a technician for 12 years before the store he worked for went bankrupt. After that, he opened his store. It has been 17 years since. Sometimes his wife also come to help. There is no staff. Only him, the owner, manager, and technician.

This month I spend most of my days in my new desk. I moved to another building to find peace in order to meet the deadline. It worked well. There is not much food here, but the silence and the desk is way wider than my past seat. The deadline was tomorrow. I try to not expect too much on this one, but I really want to go to Canada. AAAHHHHH!!!!

I will take a few days off after this and start planning for the next step of my research. Since it is still cold outside, I don't really want to travel too far for now.
