Closer to home: our last kampung

Actually, I doubt it's the last. There's all these strange little pockets in Singapore - can anyone corroborate?

Incidentally, my little brother's left to do a week at Grameen Bank in Dhaka, Bangladesh. My immediate family will not be reunited in Singapore again for at least 2 1/2 years.

But of course, we haven't had a Chinese New Year together since 1996, so I imagine we'll survive. (Wait, I tell a lie. There was one year in 2006 we were all together, but that's been it.)

Cool to hear that your brother's going to Grameen Bank. Only a week though? Seems a bit short...
