2019 hasn't been kind to me so far.
Work hasn't been well. Keeping a dying game going for the whole of 2019. Felt like a big waste of time. Got a crappy increment too. Also, I'm probably not getting my transfer to Japan this year anymore. So many people from when I first joined the company have left. Probably because the salary just isn't going up enough, or perhaps they got lousy grades for their evaluation. I probably won't leave for that reason considering how great the environment is. And I love my colleagues too much. Plus I still need to get my Japan transfer before I would even think about leaving.
Landlady is a crazy bitch. Today I went to view a room nearby. It's really just a storage room converted into a room. Slightly cheaper, but I will learn to bear with it. Beggars can't be choosers. I hope things are better this time. There's only so much I can know from a short viewing.
I haven't been eating well since I moved here. KFC a third of the time, bread another third. I don't have anything to live for, so I really don't care too much about taking good care of myself. I will probably regret this in a couple more years... but ah... how little do I care. At least I'm getting enough exercise I suppose. Walking to work and back, about 3 km a day. That's probably more than most people.
Many of my friends are getting married. I don't feel envy or anything. Not like I even talk to them anymore. The ones I'm still close with are unlikely to ever get married, just like myself. Some of them don't want, some of them can't. Whatever it is, we ain't gonna die alone if we got one another's back for another 50 years.
I finished Shadowbringers on Tuesday. That's 4 days after it released. On Thursday, I binged through Stranger Things S3 within one evening. I love a good story, and those two provided much of that.
Recently Yangyew came to talk to me again. He was going Japan, so he consulted me. Now he's there and totally loving it. That's everyone's reaction when they visit Japan the first time. Such a wonderful country. He wanna go back again in December, and I feel tempted to join him. I will rope Leo in. They will surely get along since they both like hiking and photography. I will probably have to take no pay leave, but I have so much savings now that I don't really care about losing a few thousand dollars.
I just need to save up for a few more years, buy a house, and I can retire and go travel the world or do whatever else I might want to do. Never have to worry about something as trivial as whether I'm allowed to take no pay leave or not, ever again.
Angelcat is back in Singapore, but she stopped talking to me after coming back. There's really no need to force it though. We don't really have much to talk about after all. I can accept that now.
I have so much time compared to the average working adult since I live so near my office. I wake up at 9 am and reach home at 6:30 pm. I have 6:30 p,m to 2:30 am to do stuff. 8 hours. That's definitely a luxury in Singapore. I suppose I do have a good life huh... I will never complain about being busy or having no time, because that will be an utter lie. Work probably will get slightly busier next project onwards, but it seems like I will never have to OT if I manage my time well.
September is the best year of 2019, due to the onslaught of games that month. Games are the only things I live for now, so September is essentially my current raison d'être.
I shall try to keep the blog alive with periodic updates such as this. Otherwise there would be nothing to remember my unevent life by.
