I finished the KML save test cases and spent the rest of the day resolving stream service issues—most went smoothly, making for a productive, if nonstop, day.

When I picked up Hamer, her smile and searching gaze from afar warmed my heart. After school, she played a bit, then joined me at the office. She’s been craving spicy snacks and playfully complained when I said “maybe tomorrow.”

With Xiaoyan out for dinner, we had a quiet evening—ate, watched TV, and went out for a light jog that, in Hamer’s words, was “mostly walking.”

This morning started slowly—both Hamer and I were sleepy, but she eats breakfast at school now, so our routine was simple.

I spent the day writing KML save test cases and fixing overlooked issues.

After school, Hamer’s eager smile always melts me. We played badminton, had noodles, then my phone got stuck in VoiceOver mode with a black screen. Unable to pay, I FaceTimed Xiaoyan using Hamer’s iPad. Our e-bike also had issues but finally started. At CapitaMall’s Apple Store, we resolved the phone issue—triple-pressing the side button toggled VoiceOver. A chaotic but memorable evening.

Today we wrapped up our Dragon Boat Festival trip with a visit to Qinglong Gorge, where the mountaintop offered clear views all the way to Beijing’s skyline.

On the drive back, we paused at a scenic riverside spot to enjoy a simple meal in the breeze.

Hamer slept peacefully through every car ride, like magic. With music playing, spontaneous stops, and open-ended plans, this trip felt less like travel and more like life on the road. Free-flowing, unhurried, and full of tender moments—it was a quiet, beautiful way to spend time together as a family.

Today truly felt like a self-driving adventure.

We explored the fading charm of Chadao, then headed to Longqing Gorge, where a thrilling water jetpack show wowed us. A bumpy van transfer and a scenic boat ride added to the day’s texture.

In the afternoon, we drove through the winding, tree-lined roads of the Baili Landscape Gallery, stopping to take in the stunning views.

As evening approached, we spontaneously booked a cozy, beautifully decorated guesthouse. After a smooth and surprisingly fast drive, we arrived by 8 p.m., ending the day with a shared “wow” of delight.

We kicked off our first self-driving trip to Yanqing, leaving at 9 a.m. after some clumsy adjustments to the rental car. Though I was nervous at first, I soon found my rhythm.

After a meal and some light shopping, we braved the rain to enjoy a music festival from afternoon to night. Highlights included NeongGarden, Constant & Change, 831, and the unforgettable energy of Second-Hand Rose, which had us all up dancing.

We ended the day at a charming guesthouse in an ancient town. No zongzi yet, but it was a special start to our Dragon Boat Festival.

On the last workday before the Dragon Boat Festival, I had a packed schedule. After a productive Sprint meeting, I picked up Hamer, who had a half-day of school, and we enjoyed lamb offal soup with a friend.

Afternoon AI meetings were smooth but lacked spark. I worked late debugging the KML save module, finally resolving most logic by 8 p.m.

Hamer, clearly worn out from the day, fell asleep early.

I spent the morning rushing to finish the MCP Plugins demo for tomorrow’s Sprint but only resolved a KML-saving issue. Writing tests took longer due to disorganized past test cases—a reminder of lingering tech debt.

After school, Hamer was relieved she no longer had to join a stressful science fair event.

Our evening at the river felt tense—Hamer accidentally hit someone while jumping rope, and I unfairly scolded her despite her apology. Lately, Xiaoyan’s constant complaints have also added to my stress.

Thanks to a midday nap, I felt refreshed and productive—something I’ll try to keep up.

The morning 2.4 retrospective was open and thoughtful, with even quiet team members speaking up impressively.

Although my last attempt at vector search didn’t fully succeed, I decided to pause it and focus elsewhere. I successfully completed the Wikipedia tool migration in the afternoon.

Hamer was calm while accompanying me at work. Afterward, we met Xiaoyan by the river for a lovely evening. Hamer read under a streetlamp, and Xiaoyan biked home, proudly finishing a one-hour ride.

Today was mentally draining—I spent the entire day trying to build a vector database for a plugin, but hit multiple issues, including a hidden dependency conflict.

Frustrated and exhausted, I left early to pick up Hamer and play badminton. She had a great time with colleagues, which helped lift my mood.

In the evening, we celebrated my birthday with a small cake and home-cooked dinner.

After dropping Hamer off, I started work early to finish an image-to-text module using resized images and per-request kernel instances. Despite some hurdles, I stayed patient and worked through them.

In the afternoon, I continued exploring vector store integration for the user manual—progress was slow but steady.

I picked Hamer up from school, where she proudly showed me a cute paper-clay zongzi she made. She came to my office but quickly got bored while I was in a meeting, later saying she doesn’t want to go again.

After a simple dinner, I felt deeply tired, both mentally and physically.
