we are back! it's been 3 years!

hey, this is my first time writing on this blog since we came back from the States three years ago! Time flies indeed...

HL is still with LTA, while I have switched job scope and switched industry since then...and most importantly, we had a lovely and adorable baby girl, baby J, who's 15.5 months now...

I hope to keep this blog going until the next time we work/live/study overseas, maybe the States again if we are lucky, and then i can continue to write on this blog to document our lives overseas! :)
till then,
Anna

last blog for now.....

here i am, sitting here at 1.06 am eating Haagen Dazs ice cream from the tub (have to finish it tonight) and typing this last entry from our home on Stanford campus....

having mixed feelings now - the past few days have been very hectic, with my parents-in-law and brother-in-law arriving from Singapore on Friday for HL's graduation ceremony, which took place today (Sun June 17th), as we brought them around the campus, and also took a trip down to Carmel-by-the sea and Gilroy...

can't believe this day is finally here - when we have to pack up and say goodbye to this place that we called home for the past 9 months! Packing, as usual, is a nightmare, especially when your bags are filled to the brim with things bought over the past few months and gifts to bring back to family and friends in Singapore...

we are sad to leave here, but looking forward to catch up with friends and family back home! all we can say now is - sayonara, adieu, thanks for the memories!!!

gotta wake up at 630am - another 5 hours from now...

san jose day trip

we decided to hop on the Cal train for one last time for a day trip to San Jose yesterday, and visit the Tech Museum, for which i have complimentary guest passes thanks to my big boss who is a regular donor...

we managed to catch an IMAX show, "Hurricane on the Bayou", which is a documentary about Hurricane Katrina, http://www.thetech.org/imax/filmdetail/?movie=HOB&ref=current, and the importance of preserving the rapidly disappearing wetlands in New Orleans which have helped to block some of the hurricanes' devastation in the past.

the Tech Museum is great for kids to learn about science and innovation - we even designed our own bike and roller coaster ride!

lunch was at an original American's diner, Johnny Rockets, complete with hamburgers and milk shakes!
