9/6/2024 – Still working on the jogging area. At least I have finished the event banner that looked complicated. I have a few faces left probably 9-12 faces to finish. I couldn’t do it because I have yet to purchase red paint which had gone missing. All the stuff organised, I just gotta pull up my weight and consistently completing things bit by bit. Thanks to my friend for lending me her scaffolds. I have yet to label so that it won’t go missing in the storeroom. When I got the red paint, I would be able to finish within full 3 hours to finalise that section.

Just a recap of things to do:

  • Buy red paint
  • Finish facial features
  • Touchup the area
  • Bring masking tape and label the scaffolds and my stuffs

30/4/2024 – So I finally took action! So relieved my worst imagination did not happen. Next time I start to think of catastrophic scenarios, I must be aware that it’s all in my head. Keyword – what is the worst that could happen?

Anyways what I did yesterday:

  • I packed all my paints and brought home – paints missing, and I gotta get the bright red one
  • Did the background for backdrop in jogging group photo area
  • Update myself on what sources I have and what I can use from site – a lot of the guys I knew worked there either were already retired or transferred to other places.
  • I found that if I set my phone to airplane mode, my work will finish quicker

Next to do:

  • Finish the jogging spot – the backdrop could have been done in 1 or 2 more days
  • Clean the paints and organise my bags for painting work
  • Wait for my shoes and work pants to arrive
  • Expect extra costs for fuel
  • Set my schedule – for now I could see myself painting there on Mondays and Saturdays, Sundays (early morning)
  • Arrange scaffolds for painting

I am so determined to get it done within this year.

28/4/2024 – I have this pending job which started in 2020 and have not completely done yet till today. It’s at 80% but I have so much obstacles to get it done. Though if I put a bit of focus I might be able to get it done within 3 months top.

My obstacles are:

  • Last time it was my car problem. Now it’s mostly fixed
  • No stairs to reach higher spot – I can do the bottom one and get some stairs before I start at the last 3 spots
  • Clutters of my workspace
  • Lack of consistency
  • Costs for fuel

I gotta come up with a system on how to get things started again and keep moving. My steps to help me with readjusting:

  1. Buy suitable shoes and pants for painting Wait for them to arrive
  2. Bring only necessary tools to site
  3. Plan ahead what I want to do, what to paint
  4. Get a basket to carry back all the paints
  5. Get small basket to bring necessary stuff to site
  6. Before departing – get ready with water, colour mixes brush cloth etc so that I will not waste time preparing
  7. Get scaffolding from Finie

I have to visit the site tomorrow, like it or not. Hopefully nothing too surprising would happen. May Allah ease.
