There are no real significant pictures to post of our final days in Singapore. This is mostly in part of the fact that we did not know we were leaving for good, and because as life gets busier I am not as apt to take out a camera and capture it. I am just trying to manage all the business. About one week before we were scheduled to leave on our annual summer holiday to the US, Joseph called me on the phone from work to inform me that he had just quit his job at Coeclerici. It was quite a shock but not worrisome as we both knew that he most likely had a place back at Cargill in the US if he wanted. He was going to explore a few opportunities in Singapore, as with that in mind, we left with just our suitcases in June. After about 6 weeks in the US, we knew that we would not be returning to Singapore and so our goodbye was a little bit back door, or as I quoted to Joseph, "not with a bang but a whimper" (T.S. Eliot.)
It felt like it was time to return to the US and so we set our sights forward. Here is the last picture I have to end a very monumental and memorable chapter in our lives. After an unexpected 6 years and a lot of amazing experiences, I do not regret one single day of my life in Singapore and see it as a great blessing and privilege to have lived in Southeast Asia for so long.
Magdalene and Ella in the flower Dome at Marina Bay Sands hotel. We went to see the tulip display and other flowers. It smelled heavenly and was beautiful.
