Goodbye Singapore

I’m about to board my flight to India and I finally have a few minutes to write this, not sure I’ll have time to properly do it justice, I may add more later on.

I flew in to Singapore on the 3rd of September 2012, and started working at Saatchi & Saatchi on the 5th, exactly two years ago. Everything fell into place perfectly in my first few weeks in Singapore and it felt right; the first apartment I visited had everything I wanted in features, price, and in short walking distance from the office. I wasn’t too sure how much I would like Singapore though fortunately it all turned out great. I’ve had a fantastic experience, made great friends, started home brewing beer, had way too much food and craft beers and regained all the weight I’d lost while traveling before landing in the Lion City.

Thank you everyone who made this experience so special, my flight is boarding so it’s time to look ahead to new adventures!
