      @thebottomsupblog Exciting times! I went to the UK for undergrad studies, as did my husband and one daughter. We all enjoyed our time. My husband and I did find returning a little harder than my daughter did, but we didn’t have as much practice as she did, and times have changed!

      Returning is slightly less challenging for 20-somethings because they have more memories of Singapore compared to younger kids. And nowadays (compared to my time 40 yrs ago), uni students travel back to Singapore more often and it’s easier to keep in touch with their Singapore friends on social media. But transitions are always challenging, no matter your age - the only thing I can say is that every subsequent transition gets a bit easier if you’ve learned how to to cope. So the 10th transition should be easier than the 1st!

      The book is available already - print or ebook depending on your preference. Scan the QR code in the image for info.

          @thebottomsupblog Thanks! Let me know what you think of it. Is there anything unclear, or you think needs to be developed in more detail? I can do that in my blogs or IG posts!

            @sharonkhoo I will read it soon, and also get my daughter to read it! Right now, it’s the waiting phase to see the outcome of her applications.
