1st year

Today is our 13th month anniversary in Singapore.

I cannot believe how time flies, so far so good. But we all know that this will be a temporary place for my family.I feel we have settled in well here, we're still renting the same condo here in the east side of SG.

My 6 year old daughter and 5 yr old son are settled in their catholic school with their pinoy and Chinese friends . Yanna will be in primary school on January (start of the school year here) and Edric will stay in his current school but in K2 level.
They made great progress in school. Both of them can read in English and few Chinese words. Downside is, they have a hard time reading and counting in Tagalog. They are fond of reading books at night on their own. The books are borrowed from our community library.

My little boy (2.5 ) stays at home with his Lola. Although we see him confident and fearless, we opted not to send him yet in Toddler class as we don't see him prepared yet. Maybe 2 years from now.

Hubby is settled nicely into his new job he has been working for a month now, he is more laid back now than he was in the previous months. While we both had not so nice experience with our work for the past year, we are now blessed to get a more calm and relaxing work environment from our new employers.

Since Singapore is just a 3.5 hours flight from Manila, my parents and siblings managed to visit us and we have few trips as well. I would say, Singapore is a nice place but we still long for a nicer place where we could enjoy outdoors.

Still do miss my friends & family but I suppose we can't have everything.

Christmas will be spent with them in Manila this year and we are all excited!
