Home!

I've just arrived back from my long weekend in Sydney. It was much harder to come back to Singapore after spending some time with family and friends, particularly B.

Explanation for title of post: I found myself using the word 'home' very ambigiously on the weekend. There's the flat in Sydney that B and I live in (home is where your heart is), there's here in SG (home is where your shoe collection is) and there's my parent's house. It's all a little confusing.

I took the weekend easy, just sleeping on Friday and enjoying the cool breeze.

Saturday saw us meet up with the forsyth crew for a hour or so of frisbee and then racing off to Lara's baptism. Sunday was catching up with my family in Stanwell park and dinner to celebrate two years of B and I being together. Monday was brunch with Tim and Ange and then racing off for the afternoon flight to Singapore.

In some ways the weekend went very quickly and there were more people I would have liked to see, but I think I got enough done. Not sure how I will cope when the weekend is only two days long!

Last week in Singapore

Yes, I know this is my first post in a week, so other than the weekend there was also four days in Singapore. Most of it was spent working, with a few highlights.

I enjoyed dinner on Tuesday with a few Australians at one of the partner's houses. It was nice to relax a little, and I left feeling somewhat tipsy and also envious of the nice resort style complex the partner was living in. His maid cooked us dinner and it was my first experience seeing someone who had domestic help. Other than the lovely people who come and clean my apartment, that is.

Wednesday night I met up with Mehreen, a friend of a work friend from Sydney. She's just moved to SG and has a nice house not far from the city. We had a fanastic Japanese meal and a drink at a nice winebar in chinatown. It is great to have a friend outide of work. We plan to start going to Yoga together and a small place near her house - I was sold on the ajoining cafe that had gluten free cake :)
