How are you doing? Everything going alright? Is your new boyfriend treating you well?
I'm doing fine! Singapore is a great country as always. I have come to love Singapore as much as you do.
Google shifted their office to Mapletree business park, which is near Hort Park in the southern ridges. I have only ever been to that place with you, so I don't know it for anything else. This is now Google's largest office in Asia! The office looks really amazing too. I wonder if it's comparable to the main office in Mountain View? ![]()
Recently Bugis TKA closed down, and most bemani players shifted over to Nex TKA. I don't play much bemani these days, even though I finally have an income. I prefer to go play on Weijian's electronic drumset for free. ![]()
The first ramen given a Michelin star, Tsuta ramen, has started two restaurants here. One in Orchard, and one in Tai Seng. They taste really unique, as they use truffle oil. Another ramen that intends to come to Singapore is Ichiran ramen. I ate it several times in Japan, and it's possibly the best ramen I have eaten. I hope you can try both of them some day too.
I am working in a Japanese game company in Lavender. It is one of the most famous game companies in the world, and it is well known for making games about Chinese and Japanese history. Life here is wonderful. I get along very well with my colleagues, and the bosses are great. My direct superior is a Shandong girl from NTU's IEM (information engineering and media). She's the top student of her school during her year. Chinese girls are very good at studying, eh. ![]()
This job allows me to use my Japanese talent to its maximum, and the people here recognise my talent too. I enjoy my work, which involves watching Japanese dramas and reading manga about Japanese history, and writing stories about them. I have been watching 真田丸 and 国盗物語. Are you still watching Japanese dramas? ![]()
Speaking of Japanese, I have been teaching the same boy for almost 7 months already. At the start of the year, I decided to ask his mother to pay me $80 an hour, up from $50. She agreed immediately, saying that I am a blessing to their family. The boy has issues with people, and he stopped going to school long ago. His mother sees me as an inspiring figure for him, as I have been through something similar before. I really enjoy teaching Japanese, and the money I make from it is very good. ![]()
I have been pushing Matthias to find a job for a long time, and he finally found one. All my effort finally paid off. It feels so rewarding. Now he can finally get busy and properly get over Pris. I'm sure working will teach him precious life lessons and make him a better person. ![]()
I hope everything is going well for you too! You must be still getting used to the work environment, but I'm sure the people around you are kind and helpful. All the best! ![]()
Your friend,
Sunshine boy
