Hello

13 October 2014 in DIARY

Hello and welcome to my blog City Girl, City Stories!

I am in Singapore for a short holiday as I write this and it feels wonderful to be back. It’s been ten months since the last time I was here and even though I call my birthplace Hong Kong home now (and have been for three years!), Singapore is my hometown after all. :)

For the past three years since I moved to Hong Kong, I have been flying back to Singapore twice a year and every time I am here, it brings a funny mixture of familiarity, unfamiliarity and just a general sense of comfort and easiness.

It’s been a week now and I’ve been slowing down, catching up with some books, shopping and enjoying Singapore this past week and can’t wait to share more here soon!

Hello! 歡迎來到我的blog: 城市女孩, 城市故事!

我現在寫的是關於我在新加坡的一個短假期, 這次回到新加坡, 我覺得很興奮。我離開了新加坡, 巳經有十個月。 雖然我把我的出生地, 香港, 作為我的家(巳經三年了!), 我覺得新加坡最終仍是我的家鄉。:)

從我來到香港開始, 這三年間, 每年我都飛囘新加坡兩次; 每一次在這裡時, 總是有趣地夾雜着一份熟悉感, 一份不熟悉感, 還有一份普遍都舒服和容易的感覺。

巳經一星期了, 現在我正停下來追看好幾本書; 上個星期, 我忙著在新加坡享受漫遊及購物; 我真的急不及待地要在這裡, 跟你們分享一下這個新加坡假期呀!

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! 💫 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. 😊

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. 😊 It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. 🌻

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. 💖
🍀 February 2022 🌻 *Feb was such a full month 🍀 February 2022 🌻
*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. 😊 Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 🌟
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies 💗
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! 😄 Ending the month with a thankful heart.
