I just came across a list compiled by the Straits Times: A love letter: 60 tastes, traits and things that make Singapore home https://www.straitstimes.com/multimedia/a-love-letter-60-tastes-traits-and-things-that-make-singapore-home
I lived overseas for many years, and National Day always brought thoughts of Singapore to mind. We would try our best to find a way to watch the NDP online (not always easy to find in those earlier days) and talk about Singapore with our children. For those of you living overseas, have a look at this list to bring back fond (or not-so fond?) memories!
If you have children with you, who don’t really remember much about Singapore, this list is a great resource for family conversations! Share your memories and help them get to know Singapore. With 60 items on the list, there’s plenty to keep you going for the whole year!
Happy National Day to all Singaporeans!

This looks like a really valuable resource for families returning to Singapore. The focus on making the transition smoother and helping kids adjust is so important. I’m glad to see this kind of support is available. It’s a great initiative.

Happy 2026!
I have just set up an Instagram account “singaporetck” (link below) with bite-sized tips to help families with Singaporean Third Culture Kids in their journey overseas and back to Singapore. This complements the book I published last year: Rooted, Resilient & Ready: Preparing Singaporean Third Culture Kids for “Home” .Do have a look and follow the account! If you know a family planning to head overseas or return to Singapore, please share it with them. I will be adding more material regularly. Thanks!

@sharonkhoo I will check out your account soon!
My 19yo is on her gap year, and she has applied to a few unis — US, Aus, and NUS. So these are things we might be thinking about, depending on the outcome!
Also, wow you wrote a book! Would love to read it!
