What have I been doing?

Hubby went back to Singapore for a conference and meetings since last Sunday. So what I have I been doing in the evenings, after Cayden goes to sleep? Watch my sob Korean dramas, of course! Its a great opportunity to watch, as I am all alone, and no one will laugh at me if I start sobbing! Hubby always laugh at me when I cry during shows.

This is the second time I am watching this drama. The story line is so touching that I still cry when I watch this second time around! I am hopeless. It helps that the male lead is super good looking too.

Another family leaving...

Just received this text message from another friend here in Mongolia that they will be leaving too, after 1  year here.  They will be leaving in 4 weeks time! The last time we spoke, it seems like they really does not like it here. I was expecting them to leave soon, but not so soon. Oh well... seems like a lot of expats are leaving...

Unexpected snow


This was what greeted me when I opened the curtains of our bedroom this morning... snow... in spring! 

One of my friends told me that her son was so disappointed when he saw the snow this morning... he lamented "Oh no... you mean summer is not coming?"

Back in Mongolia



Actually, we have been back in Mongolia for 1 month already. Time flies... It was freezing cold (minus 30 degrees Celsius) when we arrived in Mongolia, but luckily, our driver was already waiting for us at the airport. :) 

Cayden went back to school the very next day, but I was afraid that he will cry, as he had not been attending that school for 4 & half months. I accompanied him to school. Thankfully he was ok. No fuss, no tantrums. He seemed to remember the school. 

When we returned, we hear that more families will be moving away from Mongolia.  So far, 4 families. Brisbane, Sydney, India, Indonesia. *envy* When will be our turn? Seems like we will be here for quite a while. Maybe another year? 

Cayden fell sick once we returned to Mongolia. He developed blocked nose the very day he attended school. Slowly it manifested into a flu blown cold, with cough, phlegm and runny nose within a week. The full works. Then he passed the germs to me! I was sick too. Took us 1 week to recover. I think its the polluted, toxic air in UB. 

Welcome back to the cold!
