10 years ago today, I was in Changi Airport waiting to board the plane to the UK and embark on a life changing journey. I would be going to university. Little did I know then, that I would stay on, get married and have a child. All I wanted to do was experience a few years of life overseas, get that all important paper qualification and then return home and get a good job. Life, as they say, is unpredictable.

10 years ago, I bid farewell to my family, on my mother's birthday. I keep leaving on my mother's birthday.

Happy 66th Birthday Mama!
