The trip home

Quality family time = strolling along the Bang Tao beach after breakfast

After two years away, we finally were back in Singapore for two weeks. This trip was made mainly to spend time with family, and if possible to squeeze in time to catch up with friends. Sadly it was really rushed and I did not meet up with many friends at all. (Sorry Imp, I didn't manage to meet up with you!) Either than that, it was a really good trip. I ate almost everything I missed except for Katong Laksa (which we bought the PrimaTaste La Mein to try and it tastes great!). I wished I had more time to spend my my grandma who was having a bad case of shingles, but at least we went out to dinner the night before we left. Of course I hated the part where I had to say bye to first my parents at the Phuket airport no less, then my sister and last to my grandma. The Husby reminded me that that is not goodbye, merely see you soon! That was a very comforting thought that made it all easier.

happy belated birthday Husby!

The Husby's birthday this year was the shortest ever, because we spent it on the flight home, somewhere between Newark and Japan. We left on May31st and arrived in Sg on June 2nd early morning, boo-hoo to June1st. In a desperate effort to compensate for lost time, we had two birthday cakes with family. Last year we also spent June1st flying out to Boston. Is it the tradition now to fly on that day? 

The Husby does not want any presents. He always says he does not need anything else, and I have tried unsuccessfully to launch a buy-new-wallet scheme. Someday, hopefully in the near future, my plan will work! Happy Birthday again dear, next year I promise we will  not spend it up in the air.
