Recently started reading this book—great read detailing how fixed vs. growth mindsets lead to drastically different life trajectories.

Dragon Ball Super
https://www.gomicx.net/thread-89682-1-1.html
Recently discovered Dragon Ball series I’d never watched before: 🐲 Dragon Ball Kai & Dragon Ball Super. Seemingly taken down from domestic streaming sites, but found out Viu streams them, complete with Cantonese dubbing!
Also saw generous Hong Kong netizens sharing torrent resources. Domestic cloud drives have gotten stricter with censorship and throttling lately—almost makes me want a refund on past subscriptions. Shifting to Alibaba Cloud Drive for now.
Chinese A-Shares
A-shares are in a league of their own, marching to their own beat. People’s living standards have clearly improved, and the world says our nation is rising, yet the A-share market experience goes completely in reverse.
Garmin Watch
Picked up a Garmin watch ⌚️ this week to level up my running 🏃🏻♀️ and swimming 🏊🏻!! Previously logged workouts on iPhone, but the pain points were missing heart rate data, clumsy pauses, and annoying alert management.
Took it for an easy 8 km test run that same evening—felt effortless! Kept my heart rate around 160 bpm, and being able to check real-time pace and heart rate to make quick adjustments helped me cruise at a 5’15” /km pace on a simple flat road.
Greater Bay Area Art Center
Visited the Greater Bay Area Art Center on Saturday. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re visiting Guangzhou—it offers a rich exploration of Guangdong culture and is huge, taking a solid 2–3 hours to tour.
