附注 NOTATION:
2024-08-26,16:00:
In order to ease her frustration about being treated rudely by RECEIVER, PORTABLE invites an aquaintance for a coffee at the same place where CHP and PORTABLE met a few weeks back; newly enlisted courier TOTORO and PORTABLE have coffee and chat first before heading upstairs to make the delivery, which, not surprisingly, seems to be a shady international corporation with a virtually empty shell office; RECEIVER is not in when TOTORO and PORTABLE make the drop-off; bye-bye~
2024-08-21,14:13:
Three weeks later, RECEIVER finally responds to courier PORTABLE's previous WhatsApp messages, suddenly in urgent need of the book which she's ordered; a subsequent phone call reveals a significant middle-class anxiety about inefficient delivery workers and demand that dispatch HQL-629 be brought door-to-door to her delivery address in Tsim Sha Tsui; courier PORTABLE feels a bit resistant, but will try her best for the following week
2024-08-02,16:26:
PORTABLE and CHP meet at the entrance of the building listed as RECEIVER's shipping address; neither of them have been to this side of Mody Road before, and it feels commercial and foreign; there are several fancy cafés and restaurants at the streetside storefronts, and the first two levels of the building are a shopping centre while the upper floors are offices; CHP and PORTABLE venture up to a ghostly 9th floor and discover a mysterious looking tech office, from the looks of the name of the company; it's a weekday during office hours, but no one answers the doorbell; they go back downstairs and have overpriced espresso tonics together over a long chat about rice, urban gardening, and cultural diplomacy
2024-08-02,12:58:
Courier PORTABLE decides to try again by WhatsApp to find the RECEIVER for a same day meet-up; still no reply, but since she is going to meet former courier CHP (HQL-563), who is passing through Hong Kong again for a few days after work in Guangzhou, in Tsim Sha Tsui, they try a cold-call couriering adventure together at the RECEIVER's listed shipping address
2024-07-30,傍晚 early evening:
RECEIVER never replies to PORTABLE's email, so PORTABLE takes the bus 171 directly from Wong Chuk Hang, skipping Tsim Sha Tsui
2024-07-29,18:34:
Because the RECEIVER's location is less than thirty minutes away from the Tokwawan Relay Centre, courier PORTABLE attempts to arrange a spontaneous meet-up for the next day at the Tsim Sha Tsui midway point between her other engagements in Wong Chuk Hang (afternoon) and Sham Shui Po (evening)
