Our lifestyle could be best-described as nomadic.
The last 14 years have seen a transcoastal excursion in our pursuit of training in medicine, a migration across seas to begin our careers as doctors and back in our quest to obtain our specialist qualifications.
3 hospitals and a baby later, we’re on the move again.
I look forward to returning to the place I felt I completely fit in. Many things would have changed in Kuching- for better (new malls!) or worse (heavier traffic!) - but I’m determined to enjoy myself. For starters we’ve already got ourselves a cosy place in a resort-style residence - a piece of suburbia living less than 10km from the city. I’ll be revisiting all my favourite food haunts, and maybe try to look up my previous hairstylist.
What will I miss about Seremban? Spinach noodles from Siang Kang, barbecued crabs, Kashmiri naan and poori from Curry Leaf, chicken rice from Choy Kee, egg tarts with a kaya-filled base from Min Kok, mushroom soup from Kensington…yeah, it’s all food!
It’s good to be finally going “home”.

Thanks for dropping by my blog with your encouraging words. All the best in your relocation — plenty of things to move with a baby in tow. And lovely to see Allison growing up fast!

WOo! It’s always exciting ( and a little scary to leave your comfort zone) to relocate. I look forward to exciting updates on your new life in Kuching!

Each time we move, we force ourselves to grow. We expand our horizons, our skill sets and our social circle.
Looking forward to see photos from your new home, and drooling at all the delicious Kuching food!
