It's 1.30am and again I'm reflecting on whats happening in my life. People who have came into my life, gone from my life, are still there, and about to leave for some time. My thoughts have been rather depressing.
Eric, my best friend will be leaving Singapore to Hongkong to work in March. To leave behind running his own established company to Hongkong indefinately to start all over again from zero in a totally different sector. He will make it, this I know, I've always been impressed by him and thought of him as a dynamic person. He is a person can actually create his own path with his will, a person who is incredibly smart, a person who controls his own destiny.
I will definately miss him, there will be no longer anyone who calls me faithfully every wed to go to zouk. I will miss having late night drinks with him, late night spins around the night city, discussing about everything under the sun.
Xxx will be leaving to Australia to study at the end of this month for a few years, a person whom I got to know through LJ about 1 year ago, and through fate got to know each other's friends, and eventually become a good friend/mahjong kaki. A person who is always deep in thoughts, creative in ideas(not necessarily always good ideas, heh) and most of all really a faithful friend who will try his best for you if it can be done. No more information shall be revealed to respect the privacy of this person.
Raymond, shall be leaving to India for work, for a few years. Also, a faithful friend, who always tries his best for you, if it can be done. A person who always puts 101%.
3 very good friends, leaving at a go. You all will be sorely missed. It'll be less drinking and gambling from now on.
I was just having a long discussion with one of my childhood friends(not a financial planner) a few days ago. It turned out that he has already planned to retire by 45 and would already comfortably have the amount to do so. He reminded me that an average Singaporean's lifespan is about 78, and that we're approximately a third into it. By 60, usually all sorts of illness will start to set in and the problems will start. Looking at the last 24 years, it didn't seem very long after all. Time flies. Soon, it'll be a few more years. Time passes, again it'll be a few more years. Before you know it, another decade would have passed.
