After being hit by the worst flu ever for more than a week (yes, i spent Christmas mostly in bed), I am finally starting to taste again. However, I still cannot smell and my ears are still blocked.

It has been a one of the most eventful year for us. I must say, moving from one country to another was certainly not easy. It has been ‘çulturally challenging’. Back in Singapore, we had the luxury of a ‘reliable back-up plan’ to cope when we get sick. For example, we were so sick last week that we couldn’t even get out of bed to send our kids to childcare! I guess we have been really pampered in Singapore and it is hard to adjust when you have to do everything yourself. There are no back up plans!

We will toughen up and appreciate our new environment in time to come.

So here’s wishing our family and friends a very Happy New Year and may all your dreams come true. Enjoy the ride!
