Ruben Tan has severe brain damage after constantly hitting himself whenever he faces problems in his programming projects, and thus have a weird outlook on life which prevents him from being trapped in the surface of lies.

I guess my prayers to the Invisible Pink Unicorn has been answered. I’m heading to San Francisco this weekend, 9AM Saturday, for one month to work closely with our client on their “core project”. What project? Beats me. No idea.

It’s been a tough time for my girl of course - she seems to be happy, and supportive, and is trying hard to bath herself in my joy of being given this opportunity in my career, but I know she’s gonna miss me once I leave from Malaysia. She had been dependent on me for many things, and while I believe that she can be independent if she wants to, I still believe she is hiding her sadder emotions from me so as not to make my journey a bittersweet one.

I’ve always scolded her for being selfish and self-centered but these two weeks she had proven me completely wrong. Her unconditional support for my long stay away from home is unexpected, because I actually thought she’s going to make a big fuss out of it. But no, she took it like a lady and cherished my joy instead of stiffling it.

I’m truly grateful for her support, and I will make sure that in these few more days I’ll be extra caring towards her, and shove my own selfishness and temper aside in thanks for her show of maturity and love. What more can I ask for?
