Singapore Boy

Post by skank-la » 1st Jul, '13, 09:25

My son, born in Singapore, lived there till 1st Grade, just turned 13 - means its been 7 years since we left

This is life in US this summer"

3 Shows a Day 2-3 Days a Week: Hollywood Backlot Stage, Disneyland: Graduated from Weekday Shows last year to Fri/Sat/Sun this summer. He the one playing the gold/tan Dan Electro D59



Here's His Non-Disney Rock Band at a gig last weekend. He's the one singing & playing lead.

Here's his other Summer Activity Water Polo which he loves just as much as playing Rock & Roll

This is pretty much why we left Singapore when he hit 1st grade age, so many opportunities for youth back here in the USSR .My Wife & I could go back to Asia tomorrow but how could you take a young lad away from a life like this

Wife and I made a similar decision also, we'll be going back to the US in about 2 years since we think it's a better quality of life for child-raising.

Note the "we think" part, though. Opinions vary.

Yea, I don't remember that one!

Yeah it's the reason we moved as well. There are just some things that are better in different countries.
