Everything’s foine

Before I head off to study for my mid-term exam, I’ll just update you guys a bit:

The wedding trip was short but very sweet. I’m glad the kangaroo flew me over. It makes such a difference to see each other for a few days within a long stretch of separation. Don’t think this will be a frequent habit as it’s expensive (!) but I won’t dwell on that further. The celebrations were festive but tame. No clubbing all night because there were kids and elderly folk around.

Since my return to Tokyo the promise of work has been buzzing more. Have a few things going on but still very early days so won’t shout about it but I certainly feel excited and optimistic about the future. I was rather set on finding a full-time job but I’ve decided to ride with the flow of change — freelance. It sounds better than “in-between” jobs. I thought about it hard and I think this is the route I would’ve eventually have taken even if I didn’t leave Singapore. It’s tough to kick off, but I know if I nab corporate-related jobs, that’s where my financial rewards will be, plus I’ll be extremely mobile. There are no health benefits but more savings will be in order for those rainy days.

I won’t jinx this statement by saying this too early but Tokyo is beginning to feel like home. Singapore is a long way away in my mind. No Chinese New Year return for me either. I would like to experience what it’s like to be away from usual rituals and habits.

Anyway, I’ll be flying to Hokkaido with the kangaroo and another couple for some skiing after the test tomorrow — fantastic way to relax after a week of hardcore Japanese. Niseko is our destination where it’s also fondly coined as Aussie Town. Noice.
