I've got a new look now, thanks to Huiming! I really love this photo of the huge tree with the treehouse and swing.. It brings back many happy memories of my childhood spent in the kampung-like Punggol (village by the sea).

I played on the exact kind of swing too, shall dig up photos of it to post here when I find them. And though I did not have a similar treehouse, my dad's students did construct a huge wooden hutch for me, sis and rabbits and dogs to play in. And the setting was like that, big space with lots of trees, although our trees were mango, durian, mangosteen, rambutan and so on (very tropical trees). I remember (not so fondly) the amount of dried and dead leaves we had to help sweep and rake up though. And when daddy tried to burn them when the pile of leaves got too huge, neighbours complained and we got a warning for polluting the environment. So all we did was to clear,bag and throw leaves after that if the leaf litter got too huge. Composting didn't work, somehow... And there were lots of mosquitoes!

Can't thank Huiming enough for this and the organisation of the various parts of the blog too. It saved me many hours, :-) Since I will be leaving Singapore for a while, this mirrors my feelings now --- nostalgic, a little sad/ reluctant --- and I will definitely miss countless things about Singapore, school, home, church... I will return, so wait for me! Hope everything and everyone will not change much and be the same as when I left, so I can remember and recognise everything and everyone and comfortably fit in again!
