Yesterday I was informed that I would be put in a new team, and I received work for the new team as well.

It's a new project, and I got an important role in it. So far I am tasked with doing most of the new character designs.

There will be UI checks in addition to that. Some boring stuff occasionally is good.

Being a new project, if it doesn't perform well it could be axed in just a few months, so I have a big responsibility here.

Angela is applying for my company right now. If she manages to get in somehow, there's a chance she will be put in my team, and I will be her senpai. That will be awesome. 

It's probably going to be very difficult for a non-gamer to get a game designer job though. If she can land the first interview, I'm going to guide her as much as I can.
I'm having my second long break of the year, in the form of an in-camp training.

Things are pretty relaxed now. Life is good as usual.

Went for AFA not too long ago. I managed to get Nogizaka46's signed poster in a ballot. Some people on carousell are buying it for $500... But I won't sell it. 

Leo is doing good. We had a bad steak buffet, but the lives made up for the day. LiSA will be coming to Singapore next July so Leo will be coming back to Singapore so frequently it will barely feel like he's not here.

Angela still hasn't found a job, but she's trying hard. She failed YKK and the Ministry of Communications and Information, and is trying her dream company Meltwater now. She passed the first interview and first test, and there are two more interviews and one more test to go. The test is just 2 hours later, so she's doing last minute drillings now. We are pretty close with each other now, and I like the way we are now. I'm glad she decided to tag along with You Liang to our dinner 2.5 months ago. 

You Liang came back to Singapore the last few days to fix his bitcoin wallet. He managed to get it, so all is good. He got dumped by his girlfriend, but he got a temporary job in Line, with a good chance of converting to full time. Things seem to be looking up for him other than the breakup. I sent him off at the airport's new terminal 4. Treated him to a good duck porridge at T4.

Matvey will be coming to Singapore next week. He is the only friend from NTU I still keep in touch with, ironically. I only spent one semester with him, but quality of friendship often has little to do with time spent together. People who click can become close friends in just a few days. He doesn't like Finland at all, and he's trying hard to find a job in Singapore. Or Asia at least. I hope all goes well for him.

As for the brothers, everyone's good, except maybe Ryan. I hope he manages to find a job...

Me... I'm good. Work has been getting busier, but I'm managing somehow. My narcolepsy is still bad, but that's something I gotta live with. I have been devoting myself to my hobbies throughout most of the year. It gives me something to look forward to every day.

I hate my family, as usual, but at least now there's that plan to buy a house with Leo and Weijian, I have something to work towards. Even though it's still very uncertain, having some hope beats having none.

I will be singing two songs for my company annual dinner three weeks later. I kinda enjoy the rehearsal sessions I had with my colleagues too.

All in all, 2018 wasn't too bad for me. Let's hope I have a great 2019 too. I might visit Japan with Angela next year. Along with Leo, we can explore Okinawa and Kyushuu, maybe even Shikoku. Hoping to ask Matt and Weijian along, but they already planned their own trips. 

Well, whatever comes, comes. I have learnt to not have high hopes in anyone or anything. 
Good morning Princess, it's been a long while. 

I have worked 10 months already. For you it's almost 9 months?

I don't know anything that goes on in your life anymore. I doubt you even think about me anymore, or read my blog, but I just want to wish you well.

As always, I am your biggest fan. I will support you in whatever you do~ 
I gave her a hug yesterday. She hugged back.

I haven't hugged anyone for 26 months. It feels good to.

She's going through a hard time now. For now, I just want to support her. Anything else... I will wait for her to settle down first.
You're now 24. Finally older than I was when we first met.

I wish you all the happiness in the world, dear Princess. おねがい
