EDITOR’S NOTE
Who says there’s no adventure in our lives at the moment? I did something new the other day – I fell out of bed!
I rolled over to get a sip of water and hadn’t realised my body was right on the edge. It was very strange, that moment of “oh, no… there’s no way to stop”. All I could think afterwards was “thank goodness no one saw me”! Not sure if you do this, but sometimes when I’m watching people playing sport, I wonder what aliens might think if they were watching it. They’d see odd creatures with hair trying to hit a tiny ball into a faraway hole with a metal stick, or pinging a fuzzy ball back and forward while running around a fenced rectangle. But, sport is such an important part of our human lives, and I’m longing for the day we can watch a Springboks versus All Blacks game again. Mum is very happy the French Open is on! Since our lives do tend to be lacking adventure these days, we have bought you a little bit of dream content in this issue: my neighbours’ story of their three overland trips between London and Singapore, on page 110. Speaking of which, you’re welcome to share with us a great trip that you’ve done in the past. It doesn’t have to be as big as this one, but hopefully more exciting than bed to floor… If you’re stuck in quarantine or expecting to be in it after your hols, or if you’re just arriving in Singapore or know someone who is, we can get mags to you to read! Just message us at info@expatliving.sg. Also, the American Association of Singapore has a special Welcome Kit for those in quarantine – details are at aasingapore.com. Need to keep the kids entertained through the holidays? There are always some good ideas on our website, expatliving.sg. Happy reading!
