Travelling with Junie💫
I proceed to journey. Mum travels with me in my coronary heart.❤️ Sometimes I put on a pair of earrings that she wore when she first had her ears pierced when she was 18. ( yeah… it’s a very previous pair of earrings, small and hardy)

I went again to Siem Reap final week for an Asean dialogue. That was the place mum and I noticed our first sundown collectively. Although I used to be largely confined to the convention resort for 3 days, I keep in mind the roads that we travelled on, among the sights that we noticed collectively. Bittersweet.

In Singapore, we take a number of issues for granted- the recent air , the protected areas, clear water, public transport, entry to training, food- our supermarkets are crammed with produce and meals 90% of which is imported. The solely time I noticed empty cabinets on the grocery store was throughout the early days of Covid ( keep in mind the bathroom paper rolls? )

The ASEAN area stays one of the weak on the planet to the impacts of local weather change. When disasters strike, it’s typically the poorest and most weak that suffer probably the most. Climate change doesn’t simply decelerate improvement—it threatens folks’s day by day lives. It impacts whether or not households can earn a residing, whether or not kids can keep in class, whether or not communities have sufficient meals, and whether or not girls and youngsters can reside wholesome, protected lives. The impression of local weather change shouldn’t be gender impartial and the panorama and improvement levels of a few of our neighbouring nations make it more difficult for ladies and youngsters.

Dialogue with my Asean counterparts assist form my perspective of the world and educate me to not take without any consideration what we now have in Singapore and to see that we do have our contraints and acknowledge our deficiencies.

Travelling to completely different locations exposes me to new cultures, concepts, and methods of life. I really feel my views broaden past my acquainted atmosphere. To be trustworthy, typically I simply need my creature comforts and keep at house.
Speaking of consolation, I’m going to do one thing uncomfortable and quick from posting on LinkedIn for 40 days.( I’m weak and have allowed myself to be an observer) 😅
Wish me all the very best😂
