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.
