Taking the Road Less Travelled
Life has a way of throwing surprises in our paths, as it did two years ago to my husband and me. We were in our final year of medical school - him in Canada, and I at Duke-NUS. We'd planned for him to come to Singapore for residency, and hopefully finally close the chapter on our six-year long distance relationship.
