it's been some time coming but finally got down to looking for a place to call home in london. now we've some permanence and visibility for the next few years, it made sense to seriously consider investing in the big smoke. feel like such an ingrate everytime i say i'm not overly enamoured by the city. it's a good place to visit, to live in for awhile but long term? really??? then i think about how tkx grew up in london, and how much he enjoyed the lifestyle it afforded him, and how he didn't turn out too bad, and reassure myself that maybe it's better for the future children. if nothing else, i want them to have options. both citizenship and educational and i want them to have a broader perspective of the world that living in a global city might confer. not that i think london is superior to singers! far from! having been there long enough, i feel it's pretty darn third world at times and the whinging singaporeans don't know how good they have it. i miss the hyper-efficiency i've grown accustomed to over the years. i miss the ease of the commute. i miss my bak chor mee :( but we've decided that the uk is a better place for us, for now, and we'll be back. just not too soon.
