Monday. It was cold wet and really dreary start of the week. But thankfully it sorted itself out with a beautiful blue sky and warm afternoon.

Today, I met a fellow Singaporean who just moved to Egoli via this blog. Thank you for contacting me...hope to meet up with you real soon! :)

Its been a very trying week. With my spouse in the hospital with serious illness, trying back and forth to see him is very taxing.

But I'm there for him and I want him to get better.

Do you believe in the power of Prayer? I prayed the Holy Rosary last night and believed in the intercession of my Blessed Mother Mary.

And thus, he's much better today than he was yesterday. I think he's responding to the treatment that the doctor has put him on.

I think I have been neglecting my prayers for intercession. I will be more diligent going forward.

As we going into the last month of the year 2010, things are winding down. But yet, it seems to be a long way away from winding down for me.

I will be working throughout this December for the first time. Christmas day and New Years Day. It will be going, going gone in a flash.

I guess that would allow me to catch up with things at work.

To all those others who have the time off, good on ya. Enjoy!

My Return

Dear All

I apologize if I have been remiss in writing this blog.

It comes to a point in life where one feels that it has to be documentation and even shared.

Its been a week since my return from Singapore - My Home.

This one trip back to Singapore has been so different from my past visits. I felt more aware of my family and friends. It wasn't a me time. It was time to be with my parents, my aunts, my grandmother and my dear friends. The time I spent with them seemed so precious.

I can't put out the thought of my mom hugging me tightly when I was leaving for the airport, whispering, "I'm going to be so lonely." It is with tears that I actually blog this.

Perhaps things aren't going so well for this Singaporean in the Rainbow Nation, that my thoughts keep racing home to Singapore. Work, home, life is in somewhat of a doldrums for me now. How I long for the security of my family and friends.

Yes, Terry says Singapore is no longer home but the Rainbow Nation is now my adopted home. But I cannot put the thoughts of Kit Chan's Home - the 1998 National Day Song. I won't say much more but let Kit express how I feel right this moment. Enjoy and always remember, the grass is might always be greener on the other side of the fence, but Home is where the heart will always be.
