Hi, it's been a while. I suddenly felt like writing again. Now, there's really no one reading my blog anymore.
I started working on 12 January. It is a Japanese game company that I really loved. Tomorrow will be the start of my sixth week. Work has been quite fun, because it hasn't started feeling like work yet. I was able to go home on time everyday, and that's great. The people are great too. It was easy to make friends since people have similar interests. I definitely made the right choice staying in Singapore, although it does feel like life will be getting quite routine and unexciting. Perhaps that's the reality of working.
Life has been alright. I am still teaching Japanese tuition, and getting paid very well for that. Instead of two lessons a week, I only teach once a week now. Combining my job and tuition, my income is quite good. It's actually a lot better than most university graduates in Singapore. Being good at Japanese is helping me so much. Since I don't spend much, I'm able to save 90-95% of my income each month. In addtion, I set up a savings account that returns a nice interest rate. I doubt I will ever have any financial concerns anymore.
Since a while back I had planned to save up to buy a house to live with the Princess. Even though the Princess is gone, I don't intend to change that plan. I will buy a house as soon as possible.
There were many other plans I made that had to be changed. The blueprint I drew for my future had to be changed so much after the Princess left my life.
Even after so much time, I still don't know how to stop loving someone. Maybe I really am cursed.
I don't know how many more years it will take for my wounds to heal. All I can do is hope for that time to come sooner. This might be harder for me than other people, since I have such a good memory. I remember everything so well. I still think about the good days all the time. I'm grateful for those days. I really have so much to thank her for. Despite all her faults, she also tried her best for me.
Recently a friend told me that she went to Osaka's Shinsaibashi to play Jubeat. I guess she probably stopped at Osaka on her way back to California after her short return back home to China. This means she's probably going to start working soon as well. I'm glad to see that she's doing well now. She was so unhappy all the time when we were together, and a lot of it was due to me.
Our lives crossed path for just a short three years; just like she said long ago, we were just visitors in each other's lives, but we have both greatly influenced each other. As the Japanese saying 一期一会 goes, all encounters are special and to be treasured. My encounter with her was the most special of them all. When I first saw her, there was no way I could have known just how important she would become to me. Even though we may never meet again, the fact that we have met and shaped each other is what matters.
Thank you, God, for granting me this encounter. I will try to live life as best as I can, and I pray that she finds happiness in hers as well.
As for my other friends... I will be seeing Leo again soon. He will be coming back in March, for almost the whole month. He's doing very well too, and I feel happy for him.
You Liang is doing great in school. He's trying to get into Google now, but failed a programming test. I hope he makes it on his next attempt.
Weijian is thinking about changing his job. If he does, I will do everything I can to assist him.
Matthias is still struggling to get over his failed relationship. I can sympathise with him well since we're in a similar situation. I hope he can finally get back on his feet and find a job soon so he can move on with life.
Marcus, Yangyew, Ryan, everyone's doing well. Marcus and Yuejiao seem like they are all set already. Yangyew has clearly thought out his path and is looking to experience love now. Ryan finally got a job, and he seems to really enjoy it.
As for my sister, she had to go through a lot of emotional pain last year due to the miscarriage. I wasn't able to provide her any comfort, so I hope my brother-in-law and nieces are able to do what I can't.
All my beloved ones are doing well, and that is the greatest happiness I can ask for. Thank you once again. Please let 2017 be a great year for everyone too.
