... so goo to return home after 3 years in Australia

I was away for 33 months as I did not have money to return from Australia (air fares were very expensive those days!). I actually had not graduated nor received my final results yet. I was quietly confident of passing but I was running out of cash and the visa could not be extended (even if I had a job) as Lee Kuan Yew had pissed the Aussie government by accusing them of a brain drain from Singapore. Of course, all of us would have preferred to stay .. the life style was much better.


Anyway, it was great to return home after the long time. I missed Sydney but I also missed the family and Connie even more. This was taken when I came back penniless as I had spent my last dollar on souvenirs for the family. Mother was so excited that she cooked up a storm of all my favorite food ... mum is still the best when it comes to treating her children. Dad was quiet as usual but I know he was proud.
