I forgot to mention that my favorite cousin, Alvin Saha came here to visit. He was supposed to stay for two months, but as usual, he messed up. Something about not being able to enlist in his subjects so he had to leave earlier than expected. If I’m not mistaken, he should be in Washington DC now, talking to the Dean of Admissions in Georgetown University.

Sometimes I envy him, because he is living a much more comfortable life. But really, I’m just happy for him and for me as well, because I just am. Whatever wrong decisions I made in the past, those just added up to the person that I am now. There will be no regrets for me. Everything I did, I did for my own reasons and during that time, they made sense. There’s no point to wallow and stop being happy. All my life I have always been happy.

Whether alone, with friends, with a loved one, with my family or by myself, I have always felt light and thankful for being alive. For having a tomorrow to look forward to, a now to enjoy and a past to reminisce.

Let me tell you about my work.

Well, I am now a financial planner. Doing mainly medium to long term investments. Trying to give advice to rich and very rich people on what to do with their money. It’s not a hard job, and to be honest, I find joy in doing it. Maybe because it’s financial in nature yet I get to talk to a lot of different people.

I got myself new friends at work (as usual) and I feel honored and touched that they accepted me very easily. Not everybody could be counted as lucky as me I guess. That makes it more meaningful to me. Although I’m satisfied with how my life is moving here, that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten all the friends that I left in Singapore. I still think of them very often and quite fondly. That is why I’ve invited most of my best friends here to join me when I take a vacation there before this year ends. I still miss Singapore and I’ll keep on coming back for sure!
