Last Sunday my mum flew back to Singapore after spending a month in Australia. Despite my injury, I managed to spend some time with her even though I could have done more had I not been injured.

It’s almost hard to believe that the last time I saw my mum in person was in June 2022. During this trip, she stayed at my uncle’s as he lives in a big house. She got to meet A and we brought her to Bathurst (a regional town an hour’s drive west of the Blue Mountains) to have a look as well as showed her around some spots we frequent.

There were lots of meals out with my uncle, aunt and cousins and I think we probably all put on weight from all that eating!

The month went by quickly and soon it was time to say goodbye. Hopefully I’ll be well enough to make a trip back to Singapore at the end of the year. The original plan was to be back in May 2023 but this definitely isn’t happening.
