What has been going on recently

Been traveling pretty extensively over the last few months, and plenty of them back-to-back.
The cities that I had covered in July & Aug so far:
Taipei, Seoul, Delhi, Phuket, Melbourne for work (and Penang for swim coaching)
Next week will be Tokyo again

Glad that things are now slowly getting back to normal, with my trips getting interspersed with longer stays at home rather than constantly on the road.

Well, things have been going on pretty well.
Notable events:

• Rainie started school on 1st August - she cried and rolled on the floor on the first day of school when she realized that it's no longer just sending big brother to school, but herself had to go in too. Progressed pretty well over the last couple of weeks, even though she still cries every morning at the school entrance just "for show", and would stop immediately after passing the gate
• Ryan being able to contribute more in his art and craft homework, and showing more interest in crafts and writing as well. I should spend more time teaching him how to write, and create more fun craft projects to do with him. Next up - 3D solar system model for Ryan
• First time doing swim coaching in Penang - new place new students. In using the open air pool, under the blazing hot Penang Sun, I was sunburnt in no time. However, it seems that the 3 basics classes were pretty well received, and we should expect to have a full sized Level 1 class to run in October.
• Paid in full on the VC investment with Bro. This had been bothering me for a good half of the year as it impacts my short term cash flow on full investment. However everything has been done and dusted so it's time to see my bank account start to get healthier again.
• On Swim coaching again - saw the newly released videos by the esteemed World Class Japanese Master Coach, which detailed the exact same materials that I had created on my own, and had been using in my classes in Malaysia since earlier this year. Finally vindicated my belief that the materials that I had created based on extremely strong fundamental understanding are 100% spot on. I'd have to say that having a Engineer mindset + Sales Professional Experience + A Grade in Physics really helps to grasp the swimming concepts very quickly and conceptualize them into logical work flow, processes and most importantly, in an easy to understand format. I should probably start writing a book on swimming...
• Just completed my work performance review with boss earlier today, and was glad to receive the highest compliments for the work that I had done in the year. Top performer in our group! And to hear from boss that "I know that you have plenty of career opportunities outside given your capabilities and brightness. I want you to know that I want to keep you in my team". That is good enough motivation for me to stay and get more experience. Still in Grow mode here.

Oh well, should really start to craft my training classes for both swimming and channel management training soon, otherwise i might just lose the structure of thought that I have came up with
