Over a time-period of approximately ten months – from 18th September 2023 A.D., to 14th July, 2024 A.D – I experienced an encounter with people from my past. I think of it as a milestone in my journey thus far.
I list those people in no particular order:
Crystal, Nan Hua Media And Debating (MAD) Club, 2004
Goh Shi Bin, Nan Hua, 2005
Yu Ting, NJC Harmonica Band, 2007
Hwee Hwee, NJC Harmonica Band, 2008
Tay Yi, 35SCE, 2009
Yong Rui Xuan, NUS SoC, 2011
David Bensadon, entrepreneur (in the field of domestic helpers), 2015
performed on a Shigeru Kawai grand piano. (Music: “Forbidden Love” by S.E.N.S., the theme music of a Japanese television drama “Nisen-nen no Koi”, or “Love 2000”). 8 December 2021, approximately. Location: No. 176, Orchard Road.
performed on a Bechstein grand piano, and an Bechstein upright. (Tchaikovsky's Nocturne, Op. 19, No. 4). 14 November 2023. Location: Block 3014, Bedok Industrial Park E.
In other words, what do I want to work on, moving forward?
Apply for a subsidy in renting a public house. (here be formidable bureaucratic dragons). c.f.: Mei Ying.
Toil away at a higher-salary job so that I can afford a more expensive house. (But why would I want a more expensive house, in the first place?). Become a piano-teacher, maybe? Or, a software-salesman? CRM, ERP?
