Farewell New York (for now...)!

Greetings to all...we arrived safely back in Singapore yesterday morning after an amazing, yet short visit in New York City. The trip was filled with time with friends, working, and unfortunately for me, getting over a cold. I am happy to report that the cold is going away and I am feeling much better.


Monday, Tuffli worked and got time to reconnect with the New York office. That evening he had a really nice dinner at Fig and Olive with Scott, Erin was under the weather, Anand and Beth, while I stayed at the hotel and slept. Tuesday night we got to spend some time with Carrie and Jeremy, at one of our favorite upper west side eateries- City Grill. Wednesday I had some time with Kristen to hang out in the city, including getting a “spooky” manicure in time for Halloween- blue was certainly stepping outside of the box- even got some comments in the elevator of our hotel! Wednesday evening Tuffli and I had dinner with Alex at Pig Heaven- a little taste of Singapore. Our last day in New York was finally sunny, after several days of rain. I was able to walk from our hotel down to Chelsea Market and get our coveted 8 year old balsamic vinegar. After work, Tuffli and I met up with Chris and Bethany for a delicious dinner at Quality Meats. It was a quick bite before we had to head to the airport for our 11 pm flight back to Singapore.

So there is a quick run down of our few days in New York. It was great to see everyone and we are looking forward to visiting again some time soon. The next time, however we will be a family of three no longer two.
The baby is readjusting to Singapore time and is trying to figure out when I need to eat. Her kicks keep me vigilant.


Thanks to all for a wonderful journey to the states. We really feel so blessed to have each of you in our lives and are looking forward to many more times together.
