Greetings from SINGAPORE!

Hi once again to all my dear readers! It's been a REAL long time since I last blogged and I do apologise for having been missing in action all this while.

We arrived on December 29th and hit the ground running - literally. Dashed off to get Joshua's school shoes, got his school books and uniform ready for his new school which started just 3 days later! Catching up with family was next on our to-do list and me-oh-my, Gaby had such a hard time adjusting to all the new faces. She decided to turn into a koala bear and turned into a permanent accessory on my arm. Thankfully enough though, she's slowly but surely getting used to the faces around her as well as to the new environment.

The next big thing we were faced with was looking for contractors to do up our apartment. Getting wardrobes, curtains etc from IKEA - love IKEA, and all that needs to be done now is the actual renovation itself, which won't happen till after the Chinese New Year just around the corner.

'Nuff said. It's great to be able to have help with the kiddos at long last, I'm so deeply appreciative of all the help I'm getting now, especially since I've been away from my family for 9 years! And it's extremely wonderful to be able to just zip around over to my mum's place as and when I can ... that's cool!

Here are just a couple of pics of Singapore's skyline ... more pics to follow shortly, I promise. I hope to fill my etsy store soon with new goodies ... here's when I wish there were more hours in the day.

Hope everyone is well ... I have missed you all and am off to catch up on all my fellow bloggers now. In the meantime, enjoy these pics ...

Hi Marsha!

I'm so glad the move to Singapore is going great. Being so close to family sounds like it's suiting you well and how nice to have everyone so close. The photos of Singapore are beautiful.

Happy New Year and may your year ahead be filled with happiness!

glad to see you're settling in alright! now we are closer than before... i will drop in so that we can have that 'shopping spree' & a bit of a coffee afternoon! s'pore is looking a bit glitzier since my last visit, although my other half has been there recently for a couple of days on the way back from tokyo.
