My Australian friend

I meet this guy over the internet about 3 years ago. We started by chatting online and know each other well. He is single but living with his Australian girlfriend. He has a full time job but works at home most of the time. I never dare to ask him what exactly his job is all about. Although he did mention to me about trading job, and so i assume that he is a trader. Anyway ,that doesnt concern me.
We meet in person in one ocassion to see face to face ( although we already see each other cam to cam). We meet in Starbucks in holland v, he seems a nice guys, average looking guy , not so tall and soft spoken. He speaks with sense, he laughs at my jokes and i laugh at his jokes. We become good friend after that. We chat online almost daily talking about the weather and everything under the sun. I never dare to bring up a topic about his gf. He knows im working as a maid but that doesnt bother him. Im older than him and he doesnt mind, im just average looking girl and he doesnt mind. Im just glad that there is one person who is not tired of talking to me all these years. When he and his gf goes away for a holiday he tells me to be good and talk when they get back. He tells me about thier trip when they come home.
He allows me to tell story about my work and family. He gives advice if i ask him to, he ask me to have a break if i said im tired.
I sometimes wonder why a educated, young, good looking Australian guy not tired of talking with me.
Sometimes I asked him if he is not bored talking with me. Im not a office girl, i dont have a established career, although I have a college diploma.
When i first came to Singapore in the middle of 90s I thought it easier to come to Singapore if you apply as a domestic helper. My plan is to come here as tourist, apply as a domestic helper first just to have roof and free food while looking for a job that I want.
Unfortunately , that didnt work MOM has regulations about domestic helpers. Once you come here as a domestic helper, you will work only a domestic helper, and you cant change your job!!.
He and his gf are now married but we continue our friendship. Three years on he is still there greeting me when he see me online.
I am grateful that there is one person who doesnt look down to people like me and and im forever thankful.
