Of course no trip is complete without a bit of adventure. Kingsley decided to take adventure to a whole new level when he experienced his first kidney stone attack in rural India.  This required us to go to a small village hospital where he received interesting but adequate care. The stone was large enough to require surgery which we wisely chose to fly back to Singapore for.

Five years ago Kingsley and I were walking down the aisle...what a magical day that was. It many ways it all seems like a blur now that I look back on it. It doesn't feel like it was only 5 years ago. It feels like it was just yesterday that our friends and family were gathering to celebrate our union as we said "I do".

Here we are 5 years later and our love has continued to grow stronger as each day passes. It's been an amazing adventure - getting married, buying a house, changing jobs, moving to Singapore, exploring the world. Life together has certainly never been dull.  There have been a few rough times, but nothing we haven't triumphed through and they continue to make us stronger. We've made so many amazing memories together. I can't wait for our journey to continue in the many years to come.

Kingsley had a work trip in Taiwan last week, in-between work meetings he found a few moments to snap some photos of Taiwan for me.


Bike Sharing stations. Taiwan became the first city in Asia to start a bike-sharing program in its two major cities, Taipei and Kaohsiung. Looking into a way to reduce pollution, the Taiwanese government launched the service hoping commuters will ditch their cars and start using the thousands of rental bikes it has stationed around the two urban centers to get to work.



Love this video that Kingsley took for me. Doraemon was one of the cartoons my brothers and I grew up watching in Japan.

As an added bonus, here is the link to the full Doraemon theme song lyrics, in Japanese romanji with English translation too!


Doraemons favorite food Dorayaki (being made in the video below) is a bean paste pancake sandwich. 

We celebrated Kingsleys 40th Birthday with a Seafood Banquet at the villa.  The villa staff laid out a beautiful table for us and spent the whole day preparing for the dinner.







The evening ended in the media room with a special surprise for Kingsley - a 30 minute video full of short clips from special friends all over the world wishing him a happy birthday.  It was an incredible evening and an unforgettable 40th Birthday for Kingsley.

Last week Kingsley and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. It was also the last night my parents were in town so we went "out on the town" to probably one of the best Japanese restaurants in Singapore with my parents. It was a bittersweet night, I was sad my parents were leaving but also loved the fact that Kingsley and I were celebrating 3 years of marraige! This last week I was looking through our wedding photos again and couldnt resist posting a few pictures. Such a great day...

Here is video of Kingsley showing everyone his amazing swimming skills at the Ascott hotel infinity pool on the 19th floor in the middle of Singapores buisness district. It reminds me of being at Seaworld a little bit...
