Don't feel like I am going away...

What is the difference between staying in Sinagpore and Hong Kong?
The address.
Frankly, I think our lifestyle won't change too much. We'll still be staying in a 3 bedroom apartment, we will still enjoy gym membership. We will still go shopping and eating out every weekend. We will still enjoy char siew and roast duck (albeit that of a far superior quality). Our parents and in-laws will still be with us whenever we need them (though at the price of the airticket).
The real difference is: I am a student again!
And Ben and Auggy will learn Cantonese!
In fact, we went about our lives today like nothing big is happening...went to United Square for dinner, brought Ben and Auggy, and my parents to Globetrotters, and Auggy c0mpletely enjoyed himself there. Ben was doing what all 8 week old babies do best: sleeping after a feed. Frankly, Ben won't even notice that we moved. And Auggy will do fine as long as the people he loves are with him.
So really, Hong Kong is a lot nearer to my current life than say, Little India or Geylang Serai...
