    UPDATE on Sep 23 2024:
    I would like to correct what I mentioned regarding the promo code at 10:33: the promotion only applies to subscriptions, so if users choose a one-time payment package, the discount won’t apply. I'm sorry for my misunderstanding, but please still feel free to try Flexi Class!

    Hey guys thank you for watching this video, there are a few things I would like to clarify in this video:
    1. I know my Japanese is not good, and my accent still got a lot of room for improvement. But I just wanted to say that the original materials provided by the platform is more like simple sentences and I'm not very interested in those stuff. I hope it doesn't sound too rude 😂
    2. I mentioned my "frugal living" in the video. That means comparing to my roommate's lifestyle (aka eating out and delivery everyday, shopping on Amazon every other day, buy a new Apple product whenever he feels like lol). I know my lifestyle is not the most frugal one, but I do try my best to cook most of the time, try to walk to supermarket and bank instead of taking public transportation, and I use taxi or food delivery only, only, only when I needed.
    3. I didn't want to spend this much on rent either. The reason I live at the central region being that we actually got discounts for this unit 3 years ago since the landlord is a friend (my portion was S$1300 only last time). However, due to various reasons, the rent just went up CRAZY… and I really want to move out after I finish the current contract…
    4. I mentioned that I purchased a 300-class package in Flexi Class, but it looks like I only took 115 class until now. That's because each class costs differently in terms of credit. I purchased the package for "Vietnamese", which is 0.5 credit per class. Hence I got 150 credits in total from the package. However, in FlexiClass, you can take whatever language classes you like. So I switched between languages (especially those cost 1 credit or more) and that's why eventually I only took 115 classes so far in 2 years (still a lot, right?).
    Don't forget to check out FLEXI CLASSES with my code MUYU30, and let me know how it goes :)
    Thank you for watching the video, and I've announced before but here just let me share this again: due to the agreement I signed with my new employer, I will have to change my current content style, for videos like "day in the life" series, and I will potentially share more about what I do outside of real 9-5 work, and some travel or Singapore stuff. Thanks for your understanding and I wish to see you in the near future!

    Congrats on the new job! Singapore is actually less expensive than I thought (except the rent) 😅 thank you for sharing this!

      Thank you! I think rent and eating out are $$ in Singapore but other stuff are sort of "ok"?.... maybe haha

    I'm totally jealous of how great your Japanese is. I'm still a complete beginner and thank you for the tip with the 1 to 1 dialogue partners. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer. But first I have to practise a lot myself!

      I knew Singapore was expensive. But the prices, especially the food, knocked my socks off. Asian food is still the best and cheapest and an Alaskan salmon or the right sausage from Germany, I really wouldn't care how much it costs. I remember only too well when I lived in Beijing and only ate Asian food and later found a German restaurant LOL that was really funny. Now you've made me thirsty for matcha too! (It's 3am here) I'm going to make myself some matcha milk LOL

      Why have you sold your big Monitor? Is there a story behind it?

    • @grace_my

      Konchiwa! I didn't know you're also learning Japanese! That's superrrrr! Is there a reason you started learning Japanese?
      Regarding the price, I think in Singapore, "eating out at the restaurant" or anything that involves "people" are expensive (tutor, service fee etc) 🥲 Ahahaha Asian food in Beijing must be great! But I was very surprised that you can find German food in Beijing?! In Singapore so far I only found 1 German restaurant and a small chicken schnitzel is USD$30 (is it cheap? expensive?)
      Hahahah for the monitor... so I decided to keep my Vision Pro and I don't need my monitor anymore :P I'm also redesigning my desk now because I got some budget from the new company for home office hehe!
