Yvonne Jansen/Jensen - Where in the world are you?

were you living in Singapore in the early '70s?

Yvonne Jansen / Yvonne Jensen,

We were childhood friends. As part of the expatriate community, you lived with your father on PSA (Port of Singapore Authority) land in the south, and I in the inaptly named Dragon Mansions nearby. If I remember correctly, your father was working for an oil company. We stayed in touch sporadically after you moved back to the Netherlands, but then I left home and lost your address. I never did move back to England, but chose to settle in Sweden...

Chances are you've changed your name by now, but I tried anyway to look you up whenever I was in the Netherlands. The Dutch phonebook as you know, lists thousands of Yvonne Jansens and Yvonne Jensens, so tat wasn't much help. I even went on Hyves.nl and facebook and emailed dozens of Yvonnes there, but to no avail.

Anyway, I've been wondering how you've been all these years, Yvonne. Hope you'll see this message and get in touch!
