Goodbye to friends and Full Moon Festival

Today one of my roommates Isabelle moved out of our room. So now I am living here with only my other roommate Jordan. This Friday my other friend George from Australia is also leaving. So many goodbyes in such a short amount of time. But from my time here I have learned it as a fact of life. A lot of people come and go. Most stay only a few weeks or few days. People who stay longer than 1 month are a rare sight. But, as in all things in life, its about the quality and not the quantity.

Today was also the full moon festival here in Thailand. The biggest party happens in another island call Koh Phangan. But here in Phuket we have our own version at Nai Harn beach. The mini man made island was transformed into a night market and people sailed lit flower boats down the river. And you can also buy hot air ballons to bring your wishes to the skies. I got both, one for someone special :D and the other for my parents back home.

Today I felt the most homesick since I have been out of Canada. But good friends bring comfort wherever I may travel.

Peace from Nai Harn Beach Phuket.

PS. I almost forgot my friend George is a huge prankster. And he put some bricks in front of our door while we were away, but we got him back with a stack twice as high at his door haha. Below are some pictures. (We are really immature here, i am probably the most mature out of the group - which is saying a lot).

  1. Ah, dude, don't feel home sick! Enjoy, just like Korea you will eventually be leaving. Things aren't going anywhere fast back here in Toronto. :D I would say "Be sure to enjoy" but it looks like you have it covered!

Are MBTI predictors a scam?

I am not a 迷信 person. I want to say that overall I am quite scientific in my thinking and reasoning. That is why I never believe anything to do with astrology, blood types etc. However the MBTI test is science backed... or so I thought.  In the last 3 month since I was hypomanic, I have been down a deep rabbit hole to try to understand myself better.  I recall doing the MBTI test while on a drive to Blue Mountain last year. At the time, my score was INTJ.  Today,  I decided to see if the results still hold up. The results became ENTJ-T.  Finally I decided that maybe just for fun, how does Chatgpt see me?  The prompt I used specifically is: "based on everything i told you so far. ascertain my MBTI. Don't use the chats where I told you I am INTJ"  Again it came back with a different result: ESTP (with unusually strong strategic/reflective traits).  So all that is to say, which one is it? Lols.  I am quite confused myself. To be honest I ha...

Strasbourg encore and dance party!

I arrived in Strasbourg yesterday around 1pm. I saw Michel and Veronique again and it was great. They invited me to a friend's party with "old people" as they called it. I had a great time there and had some really great food! The party guests were really interesting but the best part was the dance floor, the house DJ one of the party guests put on everything from Stromae to Michael Jackson. It was great just dancing around. I have about 2 more days here before heading to Amsterdam and my plane back to Canada. Tomorrow I got a full day going around to the bank and closing my various accounts and tying up loose ends. I wish I took more pictures but I was too busy dancing or enjoying the food haha.  Peace from Strasbourg.

Europe planning

The date for my European trip is fast approaching. I think I am really slacking lately on the planning department. I really didn't do any planning till this week and I am suppose to get on a plan next Monday! Like OMG right. So after sifting through endless amounts of literature online about the train system in Europe and hitchhiking I have really only made some headway in the anxiety department. There is this pass called the Eurorail pass which allows you to travel unlimited for 10 days in the span of 2 month. This was my first choice in terms of getting around Europe since it was cheap (relatively) $550 and allowed me a lot of flexibility in terms of not having to worry about transportation. But the problem is they don't sell it in Europe for non EU residents. They have to mail it to you. Long story short I just ordered it today with express delivery (extra $35). So theoretically it should arrive here on Monday (the day I am suppose to leave). At one point I was considering h...

Published on spotify

I been playing around with Suno AI for music generation recently.  It has helped me process some emotions and events in a creative way. I published the whole album on Spotify in May, 2026.  In the process I learned that you cannot just simply publish songs to Spotify. There is an intricate web of third party middle man who acts as publishers on your behalf.  I don't really have any expectations of making an income with Spotify songs, especially as unpolished as my songs. But they are fun to make and listen to. Publishing it on Spotify has the added benefit of reducing friction for me to listen to my songs. Previously I would have to use a different app to listen to my music.   Here is the link:  https://open.spotify.com/album/5kFlzmaZL1rUNgVP44zmwi?si=FwUWm-lVTc6roishsPJ6tA Peace from Toronto
