I found an old SD Card tucked away in a camera bag.
Accessing the photos on the SD card was like opening a time capsule. It contained photos of our move from Manila to Singapore back in 2012. I get sentimental when I remember how it all began. The little red dot felt so big back then. So many places to explore. So much free time while waiting for a job interview. So little cash! Mixed veggie rice for lunch. Old Chang Kee fried chicken for dinner. I could go on and on… 😛
It’s rather humbling. In 2012, life was much more simple. I was walking around town with dreams in my pocket.
Here are 30 photos from our first few months in Singapore.
Taken from March 2012. I’ll share more in future Throwback Thursdays.
