I know it's not official because I just got my oral defense this morning.

But usually, it wouldn't take very hard work to finish all the recommendations from the professor, therefore,

Here, I want to say goodbye to all of the eTaiwan citizens.

Around four years ago, I came to Taiwan to study.

And while in Taiwan, I thought that I could probably get more involved with the community by playing erepublik. Because what I remember is, when I played erepublik around ten years ago (around 2008-2009). I have a very good memory of being involved in the eIndonesia community when playing erepublik.

That's why I decided to play erepublik again around three years ago since my current location is in Taiwan, where, hopefully, I able to involve with the community in eTaiwan.

But when I started to play the erepublik again, I realized the games were already so much different from the ones I remember. Community involvement has become less and less. Though I have to say, because I'm playing an old character with already a lot of Q7 weapon company inside, the game is still fun to play.

And I became pretty addicted to playing the game again, but suddenly, around may 2022, I got infected by Covid 19.

It's still in the early stage of spreading Covid 19 in Taiwan.

It was a very hard time to me because I only speak very little Chinese, and I needed to find a rapid test kit that was still very rare then. And then take a long waiting to get a PCR test. I remember it was 3 AM to do a PCR test after waiting for almost 5 hours in front of the hospital.

And at that time, the quarantine rule because of covid invected still 14+7 or 10+7 (I forgot). Not to mention, I have some problems with the police because my house address is in New Taipei, but my school asked me to quarantine in an isolated room at the school dormitory, which is in Taipei.

And all this situation makes me so busy and stressed that I don't have time to log on at erepublik, but at the same time, somehow, I didn't miss anything. Usually, I'm eager to log on at the day change and do WnT, or weekly challenge, but during those stressful times, I didn't feel missing anything for not logging in at the game.

I realize that it's time to retire (again) from erepublik.

But anyway, since I'm going to leave Taiwan soon (probably around February), I need to say goodbye and thank you for all the hospitality in eTaiwan and in Real Life in Taiwan.

For me, Taiwan is like Love at first sight. I really love the country, the sight, the people. Probably if I had the option to choose where I was born, I definitely would choose Taiwan.

Anyway, I'll be leaving around February. I want to say thank you to, Buyao531, 我的老板, who always had me as an employee even though I already had a lot of Q7 company, but in the end, we all still came back as a citizen that needed a job.

I also want to say thank you to Oldwang, who has been such a good leader in the Military Unit, keep reminding me at the discord if someone over me at the battle hero.

And a lot of other eTaiwan citizens that I can not mention here.

Thank You all. Thanks for having me at eTaiwan.

Thank You, Taiwan.

I will really-really miss you.

再見
