Hello dear family and friends!
It is inexcusable how long it has been since we’ve updated the blog! As a result, we have lots to tell you about! After this entry (which will be a general update), I’ll post three entries: Bali, Philippines/Hong Kong, and my unexpected trip back to the States. Then, it will be up to John to post entries on a few miscellaneous happenings, such as the wedding he was in in Singapore! Thanks so much for coming back, despite our long absence!
Where to start? We are both doing just great! John is STILL on a project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and will probably be posted here through April, if not later. He’s been on a couple of projects in Malaysia and is really enjoying them. We’ve moved to an amazing new apartment with an infinity pool looking over part of the KL skyline and a rain-shower in all the apartments! I really love it and am grateful we have somewhere so nice to stay in the middle of the city. 🙂 We’ve really been enjoying our time in Malaysia. We have visited a couple of the famous beaches and historical cities as well as really learned our way around Malaysia’s capitol, KL. It’s a truly beautiful country with delicious food and kind people.
I have since finished all of my Masters courses and submitted my dissertation. It should be evaluated within a few months at which point, I’ll edit/revise it then submit to the University for a final time. I turned it in about a week ago and could not have been happier. I loved my topic (Energy Poverty Eradication in India–a comparative analysis of government and business efforts and potential), but I was ready to let it go. Probably explains my absence from the blog–I was sick of staring at text on my computer! In short, I’m finished with my Masters Degree at NUS, barring any major catastrophes with the dissertation evaluation. Now, I’m spending most of my time in KL with John until I find something to do work-wise. I have a few things in the pipeline and I’ll be sure to post when something works out.
Since we’ve last blogged, we’ve been to Bali for Thanksgiving, the Philippines to visit our friends Patrick and Yoshie and Hong Kong for Christmas, and I went home to be with my family after the passing of my grandmother. All in all, it’s been a busy few months. John is currently in Hong Kong with his project group on a much deserved site visit/holiday weekend away and I’m flying solo in the heart of Malaysia. Since John’s not here to distract me 😉 I’m going to update the blog with at least three more entries, so hold on…it’s been a most excellent adventure!
