Moving to Singapore meant using public transport and living in suburbia. Being such a small city compared to Houston, suburbia is probably a misnomer but we live away from Downtown Singapore. It means a 45-60 minute commute every morning and evening. It means spending nearly 2 hours in a bus/train every day. I usually read something on my Ipad while I commute.

Have you tried the Free Books app? It has millions of classics free for download. I have had a grand time reading and re-reading some classics

Here are the books I have read the past 3 months

- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes ~ Arthur Conan Doyle

- The Mysterious Affair at Styles ~ Agatha Christie

- The Secret Garden ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

- Anne of Green Gables (first time read – loved it – I need to read the whole series) ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery

- The Return of Sherlock Holmes ~ Arthur Conan Doyle

I made an attempt to read Wuthering Heights but looks like it is really not my kind of book. I plan to attempt it again soon. I am currently reading Little Women – another first time read

I landed 24 hrs ago in Houston. I cleared immigration and walked towards baggage claim with a big smile on my face. I turned to R and said “it feels like coming home”. Houston is still home.

The silence, the lack of people, the bare trees all scream of a comfort zone. I missed it.

I am jetlagged and with a big to-do list.

But I sit here blogging and wondering what made me leave Houston

A question that has hundred’s of answers but none of them bring comfort

I am posting a review of “The Very Busy Spider” at Mindfull Meanderings

Do take a look
