My mum flew back to Singapore on Saturday, after two months with us. It was so great to have her here, the boys definitely miss her a lot especially my younger boy, who at age 3 is both understanding missing her and not understanding why he can’t be with her in the same place. 

And really, as the kids grow older and as my parents get older, the whole living halfway around the world from them is getting more difficult. The long flight isn’t an easy one, for both young and old. So moving back has always been something we’ve been thinking about. Singapore is such an expensive place to live in. And it’s really stressful for kids. Even young kids in primary school have extra tuition in order to cope with the academic demands of Singapore schools. It’s hard to figure out what is the best for us…

Anyway, some photos I posted this week on Litsy
