In-between

I haven’t checked, but I think that the last two times I’ve come back to Singapore for a visit, I’ve made at least one blog entry about my being pulled between Singapore and Toronto. Who am I to break a tradition that I started myself, right? :P *small sigh* It’s not really that funny. Maybe […]
