Hello from Singapura!

The Merlion

It's been a long while since I posted something here.  After my last post, our lives have changed a lot.  My husband got a job offer in Singapore so off we went to the Lion City!

We enjoyed our first few months of being independent here -- no helpers and no nagging parents! (Hurray for the absence of nagging) But of course, after we have settled down, the homesickness hit me. Eventually, I was able to overcome it.  Maybe because the place is still new and we're having a grand time exploring.

Having been absent from the corporate world for two years, I am psyching myself up for this year as I will be entering this stressful environment again. But I wouldn't want to stress myself with work anymore.  Gone are the days that I want to be climbing up the corporate ladder and be a dragon lady. I just want to earn a decent pay and be able to help my husband bring food to our table. After work, I just want to go home and play horsey with my little tot. I want to look forward to holidays and weekends with my family.

For now, I just have to continue dreaming about those shoes and bags I've been drooling on for like, forever!

Busy Weekend

It was a pretty busy weekend for us.  We usually don't get busy weekends unless husband's mother is visiting.  Weekend was busy because she's here and a cousin of mine is coming over too.

Saturday morning was spent at the pool.  Dree had fun, as she always does.  We then went to the dentist for my appointment and headed home.  Dree slept and had a good rest for a few hours.  We went to her pediatrician in the afternoon.  She had her check up and booster shot for Hib vaccine.  Then we went to the grocery for a bit of a shopping before heading home.

Sunday was busy too!  Went to the airport to pick up husband's mother and in laws, had lunch at a nearby resto, went shopping and got home late afternoon.  Good thing Dree wasn't being fussy and was eating the time we were out.

The weekend just breezed by.  I didn't feel like I was able to rest because of the activities we had and I worked too.  I guess I should be looking forward to the next weekend then.  See you around.

Food Adventure

Eating out has been a favorite past time of my husband and I.  We like trying out different restaurants in the city.  Foreign dishes mostly tickle our fancy - Indian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean.

We feel like we've been to a certain country and have tried their local food with this kind of experience!  Since we love traveling, this is the next best thing to it that we can do often.  Traveling nowadays is a bit hard for us because of Dree being a toddler and very fussy every time we go out of the house.

Now, if you excuse me.  I'm heading out the door to visit the next door Indian cafe!
