An Anniversary

How strange.

A year since I returned, with life still little different. I don't feel any more integrated here than I did when I got back. It was easy getting in the swing of things at first but now...

I left the States for so many reasons, which I won't get into. One of them was to feel like I'm integrated into a body politic. But I suppose it was never that simple; that I never can be a "real" Singaporean. Few circumstances in my current existence are available to most people, like the job or the Singapore exit strategy.

So now what? Quo vado? I don't know, but it's time to change. I need to step up the job, the gym and the hunt.

It's fitting that on my anniversary though, I saw Singapore Dreaming's premiere. It was excellent, just truly excellent. It drips authenticity, every last inch of it. It is as Singaporean a movie as a movie can be. Colin has done a truly brilliant job.
