Quite down and disappointed at not being able to attend Cosfest over this weekend.
(More on that below)

For info, I have never missed any of the Cosfest since 2004, and it was also Cosfest that get me interested in photography.
The friends I made at Cosfest over the years, and it was the event (in Singapore) that I have most fun in terms of photography and meeting people.
(Good outdoor places to shoot though hot, and easily able to spot friends.)
In short, Cosfest is definitely my favorite cos-event in Singapore without a doubt, and to miss catching up with all the friends (both local and overseas) is really disappointing for me, as this is something like an annual affair of a big meetup with friends.
Overall, just feeling very sentimental on this.

But due to job constraint I will be working on Saturday, most likely on Sunday too, due to medical machine moving in to project site.
As the schedule work for this weekend is critical, and I'm pretty new into this job plus I have not seen/observe this process yet, furthermore the need to be there to learn/observe.
The best thing I can expect is to hope that it will end early in the afternoon, so I could at least go to the event for the last couple of hours, since both my place and current project site is near to the event location.

If it was my younger me, I will probably will try to take leave for it.
But I'm not really at a young age (going to be 27 this coming October), I have to be more serious in my career path, advancement, and improving and gaining more skillset (which will be important for future migration).
And I'm new in this job (2+ months in) and have not learn/observe this current process, personally I believe I really can't do that (taking leave for attending the event).
As in the end, the day job is the one bringing in the money for me. With higher pay and position, comes more responsibilities I guess? Haha!

Furthermore, I do really need to earn more and save more money in general (other than spending on living expenditure and some weekend entertainment/outings, I only buy stuffs that is needed, or stuffs that is spoil. Even for photo equipment, most likely only 70-200VR2 is on my agenda for this year).
As I do need to save up for marriage, and migration to either Australia or Canada (hopefully in 5 years time?).
There are 2 cities I'm looking at (or even other cities in the same country if able to get over first under work visa/PR/etc.)
1) Sydney, Australia
2) Toronto, Canada

ps: I do know I am owning a couple of interviews/articles, but do let me get pass my busy work schedule first.
pps: Shoots' photos wise;

Done:
1) *Vera-Chimera's Leathers series
2) Kiara's Atelier Meruru series
3) GundamFamiglia's Madoka Magica series (was shot back in March 2013, but only recently both side finalized the photos)

In Process:
1) Kiara's portrait series
2) Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core

Shoots Postponed:
1) Zone-00
2) Chuunibyou

/TL;DR
