Coming from Melbourne and living in the inner city, I’ve never really used the train system. I lived in the free tram zone and got around easily on trams whenever I commuted, or drove whenever it was a little farther off. Life in Singapore is a bit different.

I’m here! Courtesy of an 8-hour flight on Qantas Airlines QF35, I have touched down in my new home (at least for the next couple of years). It’s different from being a tourist. I now have to familiarise myself with things like medical clinics, post offices, banks, and grocery stores. I also have to set …
Whoo hoo! An overseas assignment! Yup! That is the initial reaction. But after the euphoria has settled down, reality begins to set in.

It was the Southern Spring of 2013. After several months of being completely focused at my day job, I took a vacation with my family. It has been two years since we had had the chance of spending some meaningful time together, and I felt that it was overdue for us to take a time-out …
