Thanks for the nice messages! Let me try to answer some of the questions...

Yes, I actively track my past flights in a Google spreadsheet (supplemented with data from Flightradar24). I use ExpertFlyer quite a lot to check seat maps and flight loads for future flights.

BIS (butt-in-seat) meaning actual miles flown...no multipliers if you fly a higher class (what Ausriver said). I used the flight distances listed from the CX in-flight magazine (or website) for calculating the miles between two cities/airports.

Yup...I have tickets to the AMC Avengers: Endgame (59 hour) Movie Marathon next week. I'm a big Marvel fan...and can't wait.
At the end of the day, I'm a miles and points enthusiast. I try to earn miles and points when they are cheaper, and then redeem them during peak season when hotel and airlines prices skyrocket. Probably no different from many of you in this forum. I'll circle back & answer more questions when I have some more free time this weekend.
