It is really challenging.

You are right,

Anyhow,if you have spare time and you are interested in Chinese culture,it will be entertaining to learn a foreign language,

Any you could add my Skype for Chinese learning,

Hi Jessica,

Learn because you have a keen interest, not just to survive the environment. In Singapore, expats are not required to understand Chinese/Mandarin but wouldn't it be great of you could actually partake in their conversation ?

Nothing thrills the locals more than have an expat being interested in their langauge and culture ( especially Japanese) ...

By the way, does anyone have a positive experience learning business Chinese here? Any institution to recommend ?

Thanks!
