Hi, I am Sreetama Ray! I am a trailing spouse, living the life of a first-time expat in sunny Singapore. This blog is my sketchbook diary where, every day, I will post one small sketch about my life.
My life is about love, hate, small quarrels and petty jealousies. It’s about identity, loneliness and the idea of “home”. It’s not always poetic, but at all times, it’s completely honest.

Your blog is such a nice place to be in! Your works are so cute! Thanks a lot for dropping by mine! Lots of love from sunny Philippines! 🙂
Glad to virtually meet you 🙂 Looking forward to seeing your sketches.
Hey!! Thanks for stopping by!! I love your blog :))
Oh thank you so much. I was a bit lazy over the last couple of weeks, first busy with visitors and then sick. Getting back into my blogging routine now. So welcome to my place 🙂
I have just joined a FB group for expat wives. It’s quite awesome! Have you heard about it? I’m hooked on the feed, don’t know why!!
Nope! Which one?
It’s called (a bit cheesily) Real Singapore Expat Wives and they have a killer classifieds group too! That’s the one I joined first cuz I needed to sell some stuff
I’ll check it out. Do you know http://expatsomebody.com/? Check her out.
I do!! I absolutely LOVE that blog!! Although I sometimes get confused about whether its entirely fictional satire or not 😳
Me too, but I love her too…
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. Now I discovered yours! Lovely illustrations and writing style.
Love your sketches and stories.
Keep going!
Thank you! I will 🙂
Hey there, thanks for liking my post – such a nice start to the day to get inspired by someone else’s lovely drawings. I have to pull myself away now to get some proper work done! boohoo!

Thank you! Your illustration works are stunning! Love the last one … With the two girls looking over the city. So beautiful!
Hello, I jumped over here all excited, because as a newbie blogger, you liked my sketch! (gosh that sounds vaguely stalkerish, sorry!) anyway I am so glad to see such an honest and colourful blog, with lovely sketches. I’m going to walk along with you for a while on this blogging journey. 😀 from Scotland, UK
Thanks so much, Clara! Your work is great and it deserves a lot of likes!
This blog is amazing what the hell. Make a book I bet you’d do great. 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 i am not sure i have a whole book in me
Dear Sreetama,
My name is Joyce and I work for ExpatFinder.com.
ExpatFinder.com is a free one stop website for people preparing to move or working and living overseas. We provide a myriad of services for expatriates and we have over 2,000 articles to help and support the people moving around the world and we are now creating an interview section to help the expats with real life experiences!
We quite enjoy your blog about living in Singapore, it is very interesting and informative. Would it be possible to interview you to further share some of your tips and feature some of your first hand experience as an Expat and your interview will be published on our Expat Interview section as a guide for our expat readers. The questions are mainly about the day to day lifestyle of an expat. If it would be possible, could you also send some photographs that we can use?
Of course, if you accept, we can add a link to your blog or some of your website.
The questions are enclosed, feel free to respond freely. You can return the doc with your answers if you accept this invitation.
Thanks in advance and do let me know if you prefer other means to conduct this interview and we would be happy to accommodate your terms.
Best regards,
