So Here We Are...

A new life, a new beginning, a new chapter... call it what you want... but for sure it's new.

This is a very big city, and I do mean BIG... well, this is a country with 1.3 billion people in it! We moved here early August, and have to live in a service apartment before we can moved into our house. Everything seems to happen so fast and there's almost no time to breathe... no time to relax. From the time we packed the house in Singapore, moved here, moved to the house, unpacked... and settled into routines... it all happened so fast!

Now we're kinda settling into routines... Robert with his work (and travel plans), Indi with his school - it's a full day school... from 8.30 to 15.15... almost 7 hours of schooling and no nap at school... and my routines are 3 times a week of 2.5hours Mandarin Language Class, and the rest will be trying to socialize - take some tours conducted by the community center, try to meet up with other moms... anything to meet new friends. One thing I learn is you have to be active to find friends... they will not come if you just stay at home, or not say anything to people you meet... :-)

Will try to post more pictures over the next few days... So sorry about the delay, but it's been very tiring, stressful and daunting. I'll write more about the stress later... :-) now looking back at it... I can smile, but not 6 weeks ago!

My first photos here was Indi in his new school, because I know that's what everybody wants to see... :-)

Have a good week-end everybody... We miss you!

(I wrote this on a Sat'd night while Indi and I stayed at home, and Rob's out on a Cricket Charity Dinner.. )
