Sawasdee...lah?

I'm finally doing it. After being a busybody and reading my friends' blogs, I've decided to just DO IT!

Why 'sawasdee..lah'. I'm a Singaporean who has been living in Bangkok for the past 8 years. To recognise the country of my birth and the country that I now call home, I thought to combine the 2 most recognised phrases that are unique to these 2 countries.

'Sawasdee' is the Thai greeting for 'hello' and 'good-bye'. Always accompanied by a 'wai' that is done so gracefully by the Thais.

'Lah' has no meaning. Well, at least no real meaning in a dictionary. It's generally used liberally by Singaporeans from all walks of life (there is a 'lah' in me just waiting to come out). To me, it's like a verbal comma,full-stop, exclamation....

Join me as I navigate life in Bangkok as a 'Minister of Home Affairs' aka stay-at-home mum and hopefully provide some insight to my life here in the City of Angels.
