Selling a concert ticket and getting protective film on my new car's hood

Roughly two years ago, I bought three concert tickets for two friends and me. I had a special code for early access. Unfortunately, I couldn't get three tickets together. Instead, I got a single ticket for me and two tickets together for my friend and her boyfriend.

She paid me back for her tickets. The pandemic happened and this concert has been rescheduled to two weeks from now.

Her boyfriend can't go. So, my friend and I will sit together. I need to sell the single ticket.

I have been able to sell my last two tickets for the Minnesota Wild and Lady Gaga. Here's hoping that I can for this concert.

As for car news, I asked my salesperson if I can get protective film installed on my new car's hood. I have it on my current car and it has been wonderful. I do not have any paint chips. I'm happy that it will be installed in time for pickup next Wednesday.

Cool day at an amusement part with tons of fun

On Saturday, I was one of the fortunate ones who got to visit a large amusement park a day before its opening day. Practically everything was paid for, except for whatever gifts and snacks that I wanted.

The crazy thing is that I haven't set foot in the amusement park since I was an undergraduate student. Back then, my mom had a season pass. We went as a family once. I went there a couple of times with friends. It seems like eons ago.

The downside was that it was a cool 7°C on Saturday with wind that picked up as the day progressed. Riding fast rides under such conditions was trying. However, I had a fun at the arcade playing Pac-Man. I also enjoyed visited the various gift shops, candy stores, and more.

It was generous that I got two free tickets to revisit the park this year. I will definitely give it a try when it doesn't feel like winter! I don't recall ever going to this amusement park wearing a winter hat, mitts, and coat.

On a good note, I had a ton of fun and met a bunch of cool folks. With free tickets, perhaps my guy can join me.

Speeding for lunch

On Monday, my guy and I were to have lunch. It was 12:21 pm. I decided to ping him on our internal texting application.

He called me nearly twenty minutes later. He was running late, which is relatively normal in his case. He was ready at long last.

I met him downstairs in the lobby. He was happy to see me.

I needed to get back to work by 2 pm for a meeting. He needed to be back by 1:30 pm.

He drove. He had to asked me where he had parked his car. I told him that I knew where he had parked, as I had passed by his car in the lot.

He drove us over to the restaurant. He was speeding.

"Are you in triple digits?" I asked.
"I am doing 120 km," he said.
"I can feel the g-force," I said, smiling at him.
"I know. In a 60 km zone," he admitted.
"You do know that you are going to use up your $600 fund for driving offences should you get caught, right?" I reminded him.
"It may be worse than that," he replied.

Needless to say, we got to the Chinese restaurant safely and fast. Here's hoping that he doesn't do that again!

Going with an airport shuttle instead of a taxi

I decided to go with a airport shuttle service for next Sunday. I see this shuttle bus every day in front of my hotel.

My experience dealing with two different taxi companies when I got to Shanghai was not enjoyable. It was way too stressful than I had anticipated.

After doing a bit of research and using a different Web browser (it works fine in Firefox, but not Chrome), I completed booking my ticket online. Here's hoping that it comes to fetch me on time!
