Well, today was the end of Ramadan, so all of Singapore had today off including Jeremy. We headed downtown to find a buffet that Jeremy’s boss has been raving about. We went to this place called Pariss and they had this chocolate fountain with tiers of liquid chocolate pouring over the edge and marshmallows to dip into the flowing chocolate lava. It was Vince’s favorite part of the meal as you can see.
Put on your SPF 760000! Even so, Vince did get a little sunburned. Edda stayed in the shade, she really wanted to play in the sand, but once you put her down, she immediately puts a fistful of sand in her mouth and chomps down. Argh.. so we couldn’t let her just eat all the sand that she wanted.
Look at that incredibly blue sky behind Vince’s head. Today we headed to Sentosa Island, just to the south of Singapore. We took a taxi there. We went to the aquarium there (small). But the big hit of the day was the beach! I can not begin to tell you how sunny the beach was at 1 pm. It was really nice at the beach, but hot hot hot and bright bright bright!
Boy, can Edda make a mess. Ugh!
I think my web drought coincides with my running out of things that I wish to purchase on the web. I’ve covered the major points so far, in the computer and bike arenas, and of course all the weddings have passed. So now I’m sorta deflated and perhaps it is time to go onto the budget!
I think my next big item will end up being hte digital SLR… so I’ll save up for that i think. oye. okay. time to eat something.
We went to Las Vegas to see friends. We took a Walk at a new casino and did not play any. We talked a lots from Taiwan, china to USA.
Most is that our friend has lots of information commited when he was working at Ford. He started to collect all valuable information to write a book. This time he made of mine to start to do it. We promise him to help.
We had snow and icing road when we came back in CO. It took us extra 2hr to get back. Our car skipped once. Luckily no car nearby. And we have heavy car too.
I passed! I passed! You have to score 90% or better on the exam to pass and I spent all day yesterday trying to memorize what all these weird painted lines in different colors mean. It is a trial to figure out all the signs since I take only subways, buses or taxis here. I’m never paying attention to the road. I had the morning off from taking care of the kids which is a nice thing. Jeremy has Tuesday and Thursday off this week so we are hanging out.
I finished a sock! I finished a sock! And it turned out really well. Well, mostly really well, a few issues with tension going from one needle to another, but I’m quite pleased. I read online about how to improve that when I was practically done, so I’ll incorporate it into the next sock. I’m a little freaked out about how much yarn is left for the next sock. I’m the type of person who fills the gas tank waaayyy before the light turns on “just in case”. So I’m freaked out that I might not have enough to finish, but I’m sure it’s not true.
Well.. It’s offical. I’m bored of srufing the web. All I do is surf the same websites over and over again, waiting for them to change. It’s pretty sad. I go to work, and surf. I come home and surf. I really ought to find a better pastime.
I played some tennis tonight with Shwe and Rich. I guess I’m back on the tennis bandwagon. But I’m out of shape as we kept on rotating, but everytime it came around for my time to play singles I felt like I was winded the whole time. I guess I’m not used to it. I like my new racquets, but they are definitely have a little too much power in the strings. I think I’ll have to get them restrung at a higher tension sometime. Apparently Rich knows of a place that charges $5 for both the strings and the stringing! pretty amazing.
I can’t quite sleep since, I took a 4 hour nap this afternoon. so maybe i’ll just stay up and comtemplate the universe.
Well, Hasnain’s wife reconvinced me to start fasting again. It’s a lot easier with the time change, so now sunset is around 5:11. whee!
Last night we went to P’ng and Judy’s and saw their new house in Alameda. As it always seems, we end up talking about mortgages, interest rates, and interior decoration. laff. P’ng is going to redo his kitchen. I have to say that I had the winning design. woo hoo!
okay. I’m talking on Skype with Jeremy arranging a flight to singapore.
