Nothing feels like home

The past week has been quite an adventure for Mummy Cher and I.  On Sunday, we packed our bags and went on a sourcing trip overseas to bring back our very first collection of clothes for PriviKids, our online store selling stylish and quality clothes and lifestyle products for children , and we only just returned to Singapore this morning.  We're very excited about our picks and trust us, it wasn't easy at all to put it together!  We are also proud to announce that we will be able to launch PriviKids officially in a few weeks' time!

Four days flew by in a flash and this must be the first time we did not even pull out our camera to take pictures - simply because we did not do any sightseeing at all!  Even when I went to Kuala Lumpur for training a couple of years ago, the local hosts brought us around the city to savor some local culinary delights.  This time, the only photos we took were of the clothes we bought, with our mobile phones.  Food was what ever that was the most convenient.

There may be interesting sights to see and wonderful things to buy overseas, but for all our complaints and unhappiness over the state of affairs on our little red dot, nothing feels quite like home.  As I walk towards the automated clearance gates at the immigration area, I smiled uncontrollably.  I am sure it was uncontrollable because I was only thinking about getting some a lot of much needed sleep at that time, after being deprived proper rest for four days.  It wasn't the hot and humid weather that I miss, it wasn't the automated clearance gates that were queue-free, it wasn't even the thought that I will get to see my dear son Aiden soon.

Home - Singapore, just feels like the place that we can be totally at ease, totally comfortable, totally familiar with the surroundings.  Perhaps that is why there is so much negative reaction from fellow Singaporeans when that 'feeling' is at risk of being eroded or lost.  The Singaporean Core is still strong within myself.  I hope it is the same for you too!
