Bedouin Mama: Cold
http://www.bedu-mama.com/2014/12/cold.html
A nomad mother in Singapore. Thursday, 11 December 2014. 8216;Mama, I’m cold,’ Jasmijn shivered this morning at breakfast, hugging her bare arms to her T-shirted chest. ‘I want a jumper.’. Admittedly, these singularly rainy weeks have left the Singapore weather fresher and cooler than average. Still, average being hot and sweaty, the temperature hasn’t dropped much below twenty-eight degrees. Twenty-five at night, maybe. I don’t miss any of that. I love our ‘flip-flops on everyone, we are...The tropics s...

Bedouin Mama: Creating my own kraut
http://www.bedu-mama.com/2014/11/creating-kraut.html
A nomad mother in Singapore. Thursday, 13 November 2014. Creating my own kraut. I was not sure whether the hot and humid Singapore weather was going to be a blessing or a threat when it comes to home fermenting, but I assumed there was only one way to find out: I bought a large head of cabbage. Mine was, but it still took copious amounts of applemoes (applesauce) to convince the kids of the edibility of Mama’s newest project. Mama eats her kraut raw, is loving it, and has already started on he next proje...

Bedouin Mama: January 2015
http://www.bedu-mama.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A nomad mother in Singapore. Sunday, 25 January 2015. A big girl and a busy mama. She had been talking about it for months. Pleading. Whining. When, o when can I start big school? When the big day finally arrives her pluck has shrivelled. When I want to take a picture, for papa, for the archives, she runs away, waving an angry finger to her mama who should know better. 8216;Don’t take a photo, mama.’. That’s my girl, and I know she is her own self today. A hug and a kiss later, she lets go, reluctantly.

Bedouin Mama: April 2014
http://www.bedu-mama.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A nomad mother in Singapore. Monday, 28 April 2014. A bittersweet orange celebration. The accompanying slogan ‘Our Independence, our Interdependence’ was found especially provocative. The group would not endorse any interdependence with any country. You can understand some of the celebrations this year bore a bitter aftertaste for me, not unlike the sickly sweet 'oranjebitter' drink that I usually manage to avoid. I could end with a snappy comment about one foreigner not being treated like the other,...

A Brit abroad in Singapore. February 6, 2015. It’s been a long time since I wrote anything! Anyway, hopefully I’ll be able to find a bit more time to get back into blogging again and share my latest adventures again. June 30, 2014. Yes … it’s been rather a long time I know. So much has happened since my last post …. I volunteered, started a new (paid) job and got married! I’d recommend it to anyone, hehe! January 13, 2014. The process is well documented on a number of other expat sites too. All IR...

Bedouin Mama: The Ultimate Borneo Spa Experience
http://www.bedu-mama.com/2015/04/the-ultimate-borneo-spa-experience.html
A nomad mother in Singapore. Monday, 13 April 2015. The Ultimate Borneo Spa Experience. Last week, during our desert island getaway off the shore of northern Borneo, we experienced a very special treat. There is nothing as relaxing, rejuvenating, or fun, as a spa session for the whole family, is there? We rubbed the mud all over our body, our faces, and in our hair. We massaged and scrubbed it in, hovering on top of the slush. The sound of cicadas, screaming monkeys, and the wind in the leaves pr...After...

Bedouin Mama: October 2014
http://www.bedu-mama.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A nomad mother in Singapore. Thursday, 30 October 2014. A nomad that dreams of having her own backyard farm. That sounds a bit strange, right? Well, that’s me. This week a lifelong dream got fulfilled: I got my own hens. Observing the chicken has proved a lot of fun. Not only we like it, the curious monkeys. Love using the top of the run as a trampoline, and seeing how far their arms can reach in. Birdie, our free ranging cockatiel, does not seem too bothered that the hens have taken over his tempora...
