To Singapore

Ed will be doing 6 weeks of attachment in Singapore's Tan Tock Seng and NUH. He will be staying with his cousins, my nieces and nephew, As paranoid parents, we couldn't resist the chance to take a drive down to SIngapore last weekend.It was to orientate him to the surroundings, Singapore's life style and to introduce him to the public transport system which he will be using. The cousins have voluntered to go to his rescue when he needs it but we felt that he must still need to know his way around.

After 24 hours of guided tour to all the possible hospitals, MRT stations, bus routes, he now has a better idea how not to be lost!

Apart from all that, we had been treated to a eating fiesta. We were rushed to try out Katong laksa, otak otak, little petite paus (I just can't remember the name but it is supposed to be very popular), fine dining at International Hotel, moon cake of various types and supplies, Singapore's loh mee and not forgetting Japanese at Sushi Sakai (hope I got the spelling right). All that went through our tummy within 24 hours.

The Singaporeans were perfect hosts till it was embarassing.It was good, it was filling to the tummy and I thank God for such blessings.

Wow, Mrs Yong... You now even have your own blog! =D
I can only imagine the turmoil your heart must have gone through filled with anxiousness for Ed's well-being but at the same time, the pride of watching your baby now venturing out on his own after all the nurturing you and Mr Yong have poured out. Afterall, you ust have spent the last 20yrs or so preparing him for this! =)
I'm sure Ed will fare well =)And, Mrs Yong, CONGRATS! THIS is YOUR MOMENT too, you know =D *hug*
