Spoke for about 30 min. Plenty to catch up on

Every year since our ORD a group of us  would find a day during CNY period to meet up. But this yr mood is very bad. Everyone faced challenges at work, at home throughout this period. My friend was fearful off losing his job as the company is doing badly. He is getting ready to go and if he can find a more stable job he will just leave.

His dad got sick because of heart problems  this year and all the covid19 measures made it hard for loved ones to visit and cope emotionally

Sort made me reflect. For so many years after our NS days we had many carefree years. Now is the time our parents start to age, when many of us are older and feel insecure at jobs. At the same time financial commitments snd burdens is at the highest.

luckily, you do not have a wife and kids.

if not, you will have to become a food delivery staff or taxi driver even if you have a Phd degree

It's not like that we meet up every CNY.
This yr probably won't meet up so I called him up .
I think he sounded downcast for real.

You got a job to feel insecure meh?

No ...but I empathise with those who face difficulties during this period.

I think it is tough.

For myself, I am doing okay as I was able to better prepare. 2 yrs have passed since it started ....it has been mentally taxing for those in certain industries.

I just look back 2 CNY ago in 2020, was the last time we met and had a merry gathering...
