My adventure down south

I WENT “overseas” last week, my first trip in two years. That body of water I crossed was the Straits of Johor for a visit to that Little Red Dot a.k.a. Singapore.

Not being able to travel during the pandemic had been one of my biggest frustrations. But when my brother-in-law, Huzir Sulaiman, called me in early March to ask whether I could go to Singapore as a surprise for my sister Claire’s birthday at the end of the month, I hesitated.
