How do you tell time with your life? I have moved a total of 8 times in my life, my childhood measured by the houses I have lived in. 

 

To me, the places that reminded me of home the most were our old apartments in Tampines, the longest I had stayed in a single neighborhood. 

 

My dreams seem to have follow that feeling, concocting certain scenarios as if I had continued to live in that timeframe, still in the peak of my adolescence. 

 

Tampines West market, was a huge part of my life. From the bubble tea shops, the home bakeries, the shoes and what was once a book store, seemed to mark my youth - and dangerously slipping away from me.
