Thats one of the joys of the internet :)

Its made searching for people for the same interests much easier. Even before facebook, there was MIRC, Ecircles, Friendster, etc.

Jerrick was searching for cheap airflights from Rome to London – me and Cart are still considering though.

And its great that you have a laptop last year, better later than never. The internet is a huge vast of information. Its helpful to find the things that we are looking for here :)

Oh and Jerrick is a student, so I dont know if you’d be comfy living in the dorms with him. But for sure, he’s going there. You guys should meet!

Wow, 26 years! Thats amazing. I think I am starting like you are. The first few weeks is depressing for me, cold and dark. Moreover, I dont have my own friends here and I dont speak the language. It really isnt easy.

But its better to do something about it than moping around yes? And if you can make it, I will try to do the same too :)

Ok ok sahaja :)

Plans for the SG Day is hanging on a thread bec hubby might be going abroad in mid April. It’s a hassle to travel from home to the airport n the trip from Heathrow to Hampton is also quite an undertaking. I dont fancy going solo :-(

Hey, Jerrick might hv a couch to spare ? Just kidding lah !

Been married 26yrs this past January – I was ready to bolt back to our Lion City after 1 week of culture shock n the sense of living in a void but I persever bec there r many good reasons to stay put. First of all, it meant the world to hubby n I did gradually appreciate the liberal life n the freedom to choose to do anything within my capabilities. I had to tackle the language barrier first n then found a job with a publishing firm. Good pay enables me to see my folks back home every 2 years.

My office lies 85km from home. It’s a 25min walk to the train station n at the other end, it’s a rush for the trams. I started work in the winter. It’s dark in the morning when I left for work n the same when I arrived home in the evenings. I get depressed from lack of sunlight ! Also lost 12kg the first year I was here. I took early retirement when it was offered to me – so am potting around the garden, doing the unthankful domestic chores, read heaps/solving word puzzels for my leisure. I bought my first laptop just a year ago n got hooked up to the internet – yeah, I’m kinda way behind but I do catch up ! Loved reading blogs n sometimes it took the whole day away – thank goodness hubby doesnt go *tsk tsk* abt it – haha.

If u need to a listening ear, I’m all ears, okay ?
