Monday night, we attended the squadron's 1st Anniversary Dinner, along with 300+ Singaporeans here.. Proud to be part of the pioneering batch of Singaporeans here in MHAFB, being part of the community here.
Almost 10 mths here in the States have gone by, time really flies. I remember packing up and leaving Singapore for MHAFB as clearly as it were yesterday. I remember going to Ikea and buying furniture. I remember stocking up on long sleeves clothes and lotsa canned food. I remember packing the sky high pile of moving boxes, boxes and more boxes..
I remember arriving here and feeling homesick for the 1st few months. The culture shock, learning to cook, running an entire household on my own.. 10 mths here, and being pregnant for the 8 of those months, being able to get plenty of rest (although i was bored to tears half the time)..
The friends here who have become as close as family; They're really the only family we've got here.. the many BBQ and steamboat sessions we've had throughout the festivities - Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year..
Snow, shoving ice out of our driveway, mowing our lawn, shopping trips, holidays...
And then, giving birth right here in MHAFB, an experience I wil never, ever forget.
SO many has happened, so many has been done the past 10 mths. Just a mere 10mths.. and we're not even half way through this journey; about 1.5 years to go before we return to Singapore.
It's truly been a great 10 mths. Looking forward to more exciting memories ahead!
