From my understanding, it will take 2-3 weeks for Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower to come up with results for a work pass. Well, I’m 99% sure I’ll get it because I don’t have a criminal record anyway, but it’s crazy how insidious the 1% of my brain is telling me that “no you will get rejected”.

I honestly have very few requirements: I just need a place that is quiet enough that I can think and code and enough space for me to have a bike, have a bike trainer, and allow me to bike indoors. That’s basically it. So I have to think about roommates because the rent in Singapore is damn expensive.

On the 24th, my brother Jerico came over and we played Settlers of Catan (my dad, my 2 brothers, and I). It’s so weird to me that this is happening since we haven’t done social things in a long time. I feel like we’ve always been studying and silo-ed in our own little worlds and computers that having an offline bonding experience is really worth it.
