Homecoming (part 4)

Merry belated Christmas and happy Boxing Day! I had a quiet one at home with Ision which was great and just what I like. Christmas is almost always spent with family for those who celebrate it and I had a lot of time spent with my Mummy this homecoming trip and boy did I miss her and her cooking! Much of this time was also used up sifting through hundreds of old family photos and taking pictures of them. I took great pains editing them so that I can share them online. These photos brought back sweet memories but the sad thing is that Papa didn't feature in most of them as he was always behind the camera. Hence, any photo of him is deeply treasured.

I also took a day trip with Mummy and my eldest sister to our closest neighbour city Johor Bahru (JB) of Malaysia. Visiting JB is always like going back in time but it was nonetheless a breath of fresh air (figuratively speaking). As we didn't do our research before getting there, we couldn't venture deeper into JB but we will do that in our next trip.

 

This is the reason why I'm being interviewed today with Roy for a documentary about Singaporean gay history. Hope it goes well! 🤞

Yummy mee rebus. Another one crossed off the list!

Seen at a kebab restaurant... Not too relevant but still tickled me a little.

It was such great fun to be interviewed with my dear friend Roy this afternoon. Can't wait to see the finished documentary!

Been spending a lot of time taking pictures of old family photos and uncovering rare gems like this. There are just SO few photos of them together! #MummyAndPapa

Finally a post-gym/shower selfie. I'm SO glad this is the last time in a while I'm using an ActiveSG gym 'cos they're full of inconsiderate people that need to be schooled on gym etiquette. #KampungPeople

It's a hawker feast! #GoodCompany #FatDieMe

Family trip! Guess where we are heading? You'll know soon enough! #Wefie #Holiday

Yes, we are in JB! It's nice to escape to a different land once in a while to get another perspective of things.

A lingerie shop without lingerie. Oppression by another name maybe? #MalaysiaTrulyAsia?

Coffee time, and not kopi for a change! #FamilyTime

The view on the way home, take from the land connection between two seemingly similar but vastly different worlds.

Thanks for a great lunch and catch-up! You're a perfect example that shows why mothers are the most 伟大! ❤️

Another series of topless KTV clips done and now it's the arduous task of editing. #Singer

I've been here many times but not realised these creatures. Moral of the story - slow down and take a minute to observe/appreciate your surroundings.

Thanks girlfriend, for a fab time in Bangkok, and this morning's McRitchie jog and breakfast. Till next time!

Oh no! The police are on to me! How? 🤣

It's been almost 4 years since we've caught up but when we meet, it's always like we've never been apart. Thanks guys for a great catch-up. I'll see you all again soon!

My skin has almost finished peeling, on the last day of my Singapore stay. This picture is one of the contributing reasons for getting sun-burnt. #NudeTanningInSingapore #CensoredForFacebook

Even though my flight has been delayed by almost 3 hours, it's all good as I've had a great holiday and achieved my aim of catching up with friends and family (especially Mummy). I've already booked my tickets for my next trip so I'll see you guys again soon!

A musical offering awaits in my next post, which will be the concluding one. The entire 5-part series can be found here: 1 2 3 4 5.
