As multi-talented as JJ Lin is, he probably can’t cut it as a fortune teller.

Recently, Taiwanese host Mickey Huang took to his Instagram to share a letter a 30-year-old JJ had written 10 years ago. The letter was filled with a number of “predictions that pretty much left modern-day JJ reeling in mock horror.

At that time, JJ was a guest on Taiwanese host Mickey Huang’s talk show. And the singer was encouraged to write a letter to his future self, to be opened 10 years later.

Well, 10 years have passed, and JJ’s set to turn 40 on March 27. So what did 30-year-old JJ hope to have achieved when he turns the big 4-0?

Here’s what a very upbeat JJ wrote then: “Is 40-year-old JJ still filled with loads of new dreams? I hope that you’ve already found a new purpose in life, and you should be preparing to start your own family, I guess! Continue working hard! [Hope that you’ll] become even more handsome as you age!”

The surprise reveal of the letter after 10 years caught many by surprise, but no one was more shocked than JJ himself.

The singer left two comments on Mickey’s post, with the first reading: “Oh no!!!! This letter was definitely sent to me by a JJ who lives in a parallel universe!”. After all, JJ’s never gone public with a relationship before, despite the many gossipy reports speculating about his dating life.

The second comment was more heartwarming, with JJ sharing that he’s indeed found a new purpose in life.

“I did find a new purpose in life, and that’s to spend more time with the family I have now! [I’m] serious!” he wrote. And seeing how JJ just spent a whole month back in Singapore with his family, it’s clear he is taking that very seriously indeed.
