Being Back In Singapore..
Posted on Dec 24, 2013 in Bing, Singapore
There’s so much I love about being back in Singapore. The familiarity. The new as well as the old. The food. The people. Our loved ones. It’s been a whirlwind of good times..

Evening with Dad at the Grand Prix race.</center>
Time flies. It’s been several months since we moved back to Singapore. I look back now and it’s all a blur. I didn’t think we would adjust to local life again but we had jumped right back into this fast paced, hectic way of life. It’s been a long marathon-like run, and while I am grateful for what we’ve achieved this year, I do feel sore all over too. As if I’ve just had an intense workout..All images were shot with my iPhone 5.
