After Singapore

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more

Ping? Pong!

This post is just to let you know that I am still alive. I have been occupied with a lot of activities for my startup project with my friend Budi; and other small stuffs (relocation, catechism, etc…). Unfortunately that means lower priority to maintain this blog.

And as wise men say, a picture worth a thousand words. And turned out it takes much lesser effort than writing, too ๐Ÿ™‚ So here are 7000 words of decorations in my new house, that are gifts from friends and relatives.

A book called On a Street in Singapore, gift from my badminton friends Abhineet, Albert Quah, Albert Tjipto & his girlfriend, and Heldi
Notebook with messages and greeting cards from my ITB friends in Gemalto, along with other gifts.
A unique wall clock, gift from other ITB friends, who were with me since I moved to Singapore.
Singlish candies from my former landlord Christine, Pineaple cake from Budi, and a nice Paul Allen memoir from my brother Daniel
Swan doll made of unused cement paper from my aunt Meme, along with some decorations I bought myself.
A cross to help me feel safe. A gift from my aunt Veronica more than 5 years ago, but I still keep it until now.
Finally, a celebration to start using my new workshop! With help of my girlfriend and her family. Thanks Budi for taking the picture.

 

It’s hard not to miss Singapore after that four years, but the gifts helped me to remember the good (and bad) times there. I feel very grateful to have friends and relatives that gave those gifts!

And as you may notice that I’ve changed the blog title. I still hope that I can write frequently again in the future.
