Singapore again!

After finishing our stint in India we said good bye and headed off to Singapore to finish off our awesome summer adventure. At the beginning of the summer we really enjoyed spending time with our family in Singapore, so we switched our schedule around a bit so we could visit our Singaporean again. In addition to this my sister Katie and my Aunt Susan planned on meeting us in Singapore for a couple of weeks of fun and frivolity.
We had a great time in Singapore and Malaysia. Unfortunately some crazy stuff went down- my Aunt Susan was feeling ill as soon as she got on the plane to come to Singapore. She said she was fine, but complained that her stomach hurt. One morning, after we got back from a killer trip to Tioman island in Malaysia, Aunt Susan woke us up and said she needed to go to the emergency room. It turns out she had been suffering from serious kidney problems and didn't know. Within the next day and half her kidneys and heart had completely shut down and she passed away shortly after. After Rachel and I made all the necessary arrangements to repatriate Aunt Susan's remains we returned to California for the funeral. After the funeral we went up to the cabin to spend time with my grandma, the break sorely needed after the last couple weeks.
