Back to Beijing

I'm back to Beijing. After 1 month long break in SGP. It's good to catch up with family and friends. My parents are enjoying their moments helping to take care of the 2 kids. It's a nice feeling to feel loved and spoilt by mum's cooking. ..and i get to see my niece! She is very chubby and adorable, 2 weeks older than meranda and weighs 2 kg more! (She is 9.5kg, mine is 7.5kg) I'm also glad to see my friends happily married, employed, pregnant..

But it's sad to see that SGP is in a bad economy. Retrenchments everywhere, Govt thinking of measures to help the poor and needy, Sales everywhere(I should be happy about sales rite? yet, i feel so guilty spending $$, that I only bought a 50% Bossini jeans, a white shirt and 3 pairs of dirt-cheap below S$20 shoes) .
It's sad to feel so stressed living there, over job security, high living standard, declining property values etc.. goodness, I really wonder will i ever go back to SGP one day, since i'm so used to life here now..
Anyway, enough said..here are the pictures taken during this 1 month...

We left our 2 kids(without guilt) to the doting grandparents, to celebrate V-day at Bintan Club Med. It is really a good break to relax and suntan by the beach.
