The first day of the rest of our lives

So we just finished day one of our big adventure and so far it has been good! Yesterday we gave back the keys to our house and with a little emotion but with a lot of relief we left our condo for the last time. Emotion because we’ve had a great run in that house,...

For the first time…

Now that we are close to leaving you'd think I'd be wrapping up stuff. But no, there is too much to do still...

Onwards

As you may have gathered, we are preparing for new things. Hubby will retire August 31 (yay!) which gives us all the time and opportunity to do the things we always wanted to do, but never did: travel. We had great plans when we moved to Singapore, of seeing all these amazing countries around us and how easy it would be to get there from one of the most central locations in SEA. But it turned out working interferes with a lot of that. So we decided a few years ago to not even worry about it, and to do it all in one go!

Busy, Busy, Busy

I know I haven’t published in a while. Not because things are bad, but because things are exceptionally well. I am super busy doing super things. And this is how it began. After we moved into our current home, we had more stuff than we could fit in. So I wanted to donate all the...

Life Is Good

It's been a while since I last blogged, but we have been really busy. A quick catch-up on how we spent our time here in Singapore. Life is tough here 😉

Chinese Wisdom

First of all I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. I know you may think it’s a bit late, but that is a matter of perspective as we are right between the Western and Chinese New Year, so I figured it can still be said. We had a lovely Christmas...

We got Mail!

We are settling into our new house and new country. We have been busy doing the things you do when you move into a new house, such as unpacking boxes, drilling holes, figuring out where stuff needs to go and finding a place that sells toilet paper. There’s one box left, but I’m sure we’ll...

Happy News

The Singapore News Bulletin on TV is great! It is good news mostly, except of course when it is about what happens in the rest of the world. If they mess up, there is nothing Singapore can do about it. Apart from the rare fire, another Dengue outbreak and the occasional murder, nothing bad happens...

Ear Plugs not Included

So we went to the Grand Prix. Well, actually we got tickets to the practice night on the Friday before the Grand Prix. They were given to us and that was awesome; we got to see the action up close and feel the vibe of the event the City had prepared for since we arrived....

First Impressions

Last Friday morning 9.30 am. Hubby and I have been in Singapore for 4 days, doing the stuff we need to get done: getting a bank account, a visa, visiting the office for the first time and running around in general to get electrical converter plugs, a guide-book (in English), an umbrella, and all sorts...
