A Town With an Ocean View

Umi no mieru machi … A town by the sea or a town with an ocean view, that where Kiki wants to live when she’s planning to be independent from her parents.

Well, at least what is in the movie “Kiki’s Delivery Service” by Hayao Miyazaki.
In “Beach Boys”, another Japanese movie, they say, “In summer, you have to visit the sea!”

Where would I wanna live in real life?
My wife loves to live in the mountains, where the cool wind breeze everyday and you don’t have to use aircon to prevent the heat. :D And where you can do alittle bit of farming. Certainly we couldn’t do those in Singapore, but she’s happy here still.
As for me, I could live anywhere, as long as my daughters could play happily everyday.
My daughters? They will follow their parents anywhere.

Singapore had been a place where we lived for almost the last 8 years. It has a very special place in our heart. We had Wina & Celine here. They grew up here. We had a fair share of happy & sad memories here. We had and still have best friends here, but after eight years, is it maybe time for us to go somewhere else? Is it time to go back home? Maybe.

So which town should we go next?
