It’s nearly a week since I’m in Japan? 

And I’ve only started work on Friday due to certain reasons, and to be honest I miss Singapore badly now because of various reasons such as my friends, my family members and many more. 

Anyway, can’t say much about job for now because it’s only been a day. Colleagues are super friendly too! Went for lunch with them last Friday.
Hoping that I can start working on real projects soon! 

Weather wise, it has been getting chilly, and my skin is already flaking! Using loads of body cream to help, but my fingers are the worst as I have to do the dishes at home. 

Hoping things will be much better next week!

Sorry for the short update!

Will do a proper post later!

4 more days before flying off to Japan, and this it the real deal. 

I actually received my COE (Certificate of Eligibility) while I was traveling in Japan, instead of receiving it by DHL or Fedex, which was the normal way. 

Didn’t expect to receive when I went to the office to visit them even though I have yet to enter the company. 

After arriving back in Singapore, I rushed whatever documents I need to prepare for the application, and rushed off to the Embassy in 30 minutes as the application at the Embassy was closing at 12pm. Managed to reach in time, and am very thankful to the staff who was very lenient when I had forgotten to photocopy a set of COE for them. And within 5 days, I received my visa. 

While I was applying for my visa, I bombarded my friend with loads of questions as she has been through this, and I’m very thankful to her for answering my queries fast when she’s at work.

Another 4 more days, and to be honest, I’m feeling a little jittery because of the unknown ahead of me, and thinking about the things that I have to prepare and do, I’m not sure if I can manage it well. 

Started my round of farewell parties, and 4 more days of party to go! There’s alot of friends I would like to meet up before flying off, but because of the time constraint, I’m doing with a few groups. I guess I’ll grow fat from all the eating for the next few days until I fly off. Will be trying my best to cover food that I would really want to eat before flying off, if not I guess I will have to wait till February when I come back.

I guess that’s about this short post!

Will post more about the application process and things to do in Japan the next few days!

For the past recent week, or rather to say the past few days was a rollercoaster, and I had to deal with impending problems that came all at once. I felt really loss, wanted to find a channel to vent my frustrations, and also needed a hearing ear to hear what I was going through. 

But, I guess things were not as simple, and it took sometime to settle the stuff, breaking off friendships where I think I’m better off without obnoxious people in my life. 

And so I decided to do things my way because I feel that there was a bit of injustice, or maybe to say unfairness to the stuff I have dealt with recently. And of course, I rather make myself happier to show that I can still be myself, or maybe this Chinese idiom can better describe it. 问心无愧. This means a clear conscience. I think I was never wrong, and since it was something that should have been done ages ago since I have requested it nearly 2 months ago.

So, do things to make yourself happy instead of wallowing in despair due to how others think of you!
