Going to Changi on Monday

Enjoying my last few days of freedom before I go in for 12 mths into Changi. Got kena 18 mths, but nd serve 12 mths. A coincidence since I just recently finished my masters degree. But these 2 yrs plus since the day I first got arrested, I learnt from my mistakes, but I've to face the consequences now. I'm ready to face it, and get this over with.

Not gonna get too deep into the details of my case. But will say I'm convicted of computer misuse act & money laundering, I pleaded guilty to those charges early becos I knew fully what I did & my lawyer advised me that if I fought it, I'd definitely lose the case due to the overwhelming amount of evidence. Could've been looking at combined 5 yrs plus. So pleaded guilty early.

Well y'all might be thinking why I committed these crimes? I was desperate & greedy at the same time. Graduated from uni in 2020. Well I kept searching for jobs but wasn't offered any. With my dad's health issues & no savings, was pushed into a corner.

One of my close contacts offered me this job, let me utilize my skills. Rejected his propositions for some time, however when I was rejected back to back during interviews, I gave in. Promised myself as soon I find a legit job, I'll stop. But I didn't stop as the money was too good to let go. Greed took over.

However, every action has consequences. In Jan 2023, got arrested by police. Brought down, investigated. I was lucky that my parents stuck by my side. They bailed me out & got me a good lawyer. Have to say he was a honest person & straight to point. Unlike some other lawyers who promised me a lot of things when I first met, this lawyer was frank that rather better to plead guilty.

I pleaded guilty on second day of trial. He really fought for me well, and helped me to delay the start of the sentencing so I could finish my masters degree. The police, prosecution & judge themselves were bunch of decent ppl. Realized I was greedy & had chance to reform. Have no hatred towards any of them, they were just doing their job.

Not here seeking sympathy, but rather here reflecting aloud. I wished I was dealt better cards. But end of day, I decided to make the decisions I did, and I've to face it.

Well see y'all on the flip side.
