Wednesday, July 30th, 20081. What the %$^! is that racket? German lady, get your kids under control. They are not adorable. I will trip one of them and it won’t be pretty if you don’t bring a sense of order to your family. Aren’t Germans all about order? 2. Ooh, Horizon organic cheese! That pricetag says $16.25 for […]
Saturday Morning Fun
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Rain, Roti John, etc.
Friday, July 25th, 2008Rain storms are pretty frequent here in Singapore, even during the “dry season” that we’re supposed to be in now. Jeni mentioned in an earlier post that it only takes getting caught in the rain once to learn that you should never be without an umbrella in Singapore. So true. For instance, when I decided […]
Sayin’ hi
Friday, July 25th, 2008Why does it rain every day I plan on going to the pool? I’ve always been the kind of girl that loves rain, you know I was so tortured in high school I loved to brood and write poetry and pretend I was in a music video every time it rained. But I realize growing […]
Food of the Week – Durian
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Welcome to our newest feature – food of the week, wherein each week one of us will try a new food and we’ll blog all about it for you! To start off, we have the KING of FRUITS – duh nananana – the durian! The durian is native to Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia and can […]
They Take Some Getting Used To
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008The little things I mean. Every day things, things you probably don’t even think twice about in your day-to-day life. Sometimes we’re on autopilot, maybe even lots of times, and we don’t realize how we move through this life. So I think it’s good to throw a wrench in the system every once in a […]
Going to the movies
Sunday, July 20th, 2008What’s the coolest thing about going to see a movie in Singapore? Two words: Assigned seating. I love assigned seating. You can buy your tickets online before you go, or even reserve them on your mobile, or just go wait in the queue (yes, I’m still using queue) like the rest of the plebeians. But regardless […]
Excuse Me Miss, You’re in My Way!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Singapore is crowded, period. It’s one gigantic city with loads of people moving about at a zillion miles an hour. Everyone’s got places to go, things to buy, and some have to be back at work since they’re on lunch. Including me. When walking through the city streets you’ve got to keep your eyes open […]
Excuse Me Sir, You’re Sitting in My Lap
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Let’s talk about personal space. I like it. John likes it. You guys probably like it. Most Americans do. I’m not talking about giant penthouse apartments or 8 bedroom houses with six-car garages or huge SUVs or anything like that. I’m just talking about the little box of space that SHOULD be around me when […]
Black Sesame Almond Blizzard
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008John’s always been the experimental type when it comes to trying new foods, and of course living in Singapore is absolutely no exception. I’m more, hmmm, how do I say it? I’m more timid, I guess, when it comes to trying new things. For one thing I have a bit of an aversion to meat, […]
