I went karaoke with my best friends yesterday.
I decided to take a photo of it. I hardly take photos anymore, but it occured to me that I haven't taken many photos for non-work purposes since the Princess visited Singapore. I won't remember what happened at this stage of my life if I don't start taking some photos.
We treated Matt for this to celebrate his finding a job. Not everyone is good at studying, and our world is too merciless to people who are not as capable. It took him a while, but he finally got a job, and that's wonderful. The salary is actually quite decent as well.
After that we had dinner at Genki sushi. It is so delicious as always. Even though I have saved up a lot of money, I still ate as little as I could. My current main goal is to buy a house, and I will never allow myself to get careless with money. Leo and Matt ate almost $50 worth of sushi... Three times of what I spent.
I remember spending just $10 when I ate here with the Princess. I paid for half of what she ate, which was about $24. In retrospect, I should have let her eat as much as she wanted and paid for the whole meal. At that time I couldn't have known that I would never see her again. Human beings are such foolish creatures. They don't cherish what they have until those people or things are gone. By then it's too late to do anything about it. I learnt my lesson.
At night, I went for my grandmother's wake. Baolin and Mingguo came to visit. Both of them were my best friends back in 2002, so we have 15 years of friendship behind us.
Baolin has been together with his girlfriend for 5 years, and they already bought a house together. I expect to attend his wedding in a few years. I will give him the biggest ang bao he has ever seen when the time comes.
Mingguo is very hardworking now. Never taking a single day of paid leave and sick leave. As he did not attend university, his salary is relatively low even after working 2 years. Still, he is trying his best to save money, so he doesn't have to struggle with living later on. He has changed much from our primary school days, but I guess I have as well.
Work hasn't been going well for Baolin, so I asked him to try switching to my company instead. Both of us spent countless hours playing a game made by my company back in 2003, so it will be wonderful if he can join me there too. He will be sending his resume, and if he gets selected to go for an interview, I will do whatever I can to help him.
I treasure our friendship very much. I did something stupid 6 years ago that damaged our friendship, but I hope that I will be able to repair that and go back to the way we were before.
The same goes for Mingguo too. I wish we can meet up more often and become close friends again. Childhood friends are special. I will never be able to make another one again in this life.
Speaking of childhood friends, I had another who is gone from my life. Edwin. Something happened between us and we stopped talking to each other. I wish I can go back in time and change that.
I learnt from my mistakes. I hope I have become a better person from all these failures, although I will definitely still make plenty of bad decisions.
