A few things happened to me the past week; one of my Seoul Sisters moved to Singapore, and a good friend from Singapore went on holiday to Seoul. It stirred up a few fond memories of my time in South Korea. So, where was that post I wrote all those years ago while living in …
Ahhh, how do I start today’s post without mentioning that I am one year closer to another new decade – eek! How did that happen? It is funny how each milestone brings new insecurities you didn’t even know you had. When I hit thirty, I was not ready for it; I hadn’t completed our little …

It is hard to express what I am feeling right now. I have mixed emotions, to be honest. On the one hand, I am excited because my baby is now coming to the end of his own chapter with his final year of school. While on the other hand, unlike his siblings, I am deeply saddened …
