« Previous Entries Next Entries »This past Saturday night
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Yeah, okay, I know that Saturday was, like, a while ago. Gimme a break 😛 After our big day at Vivo City we decided to go out for a nice meal. We wanted to go somewhere close by, though, so we ended up going to One-Ninety restaurant in the Four Seasons. The atmosphere was perfect, […]
Peranakan Adventure
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008I went on a tour today and learned lots – I’m so excited to tell you all. Just a disclaimer first, everything here I learned from my tour guide, so I assume it’s true but if it’s not, you’ll probably never know. Here goes. A long, long time ago, in a far away place – […]
Our Saturday at Vivo City
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Saturday Jeni and I woke up and decided to get an early start for our trip to Vivo City (Wikipedia entry here). We had some shopping to get done (wireless router, umbrella, etc) and thought we may as well do it at the biggest mall in Singapore. Let me just say that this mall is […]
Which one is your favorite?
Friday, July 11th, 2008I will try them all and report back
Botanic Gardens
Friday, July 11th, 2008I went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens today. One word: incredible. Sorry Denver, but your botanic gardens look pretty wimpy next to Singapore’s. I could probably go to the Botanic Gardens once a week for the entire time I’m here and still not see everything, but that’s okay because it’s only a $4 (SIN) taxi […]
Making Friends and the Walk Home
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008How long will it take Jeni to make friends? I’m not sure, but I know one thing – no one can resist my sparkling personality once they meet me. 😉 Today I ventured out to a pilates class in an effort to actually meet some people (oh yeah and exercise too) and I’m pleased to […]
Really expensive cordyceps
Monday, July 7th, 2008These are crazy expensive. Will explain later. Update: Ok, so I said I would explain this cordyceps stuff. From answers.com: Cordyceps sinensis, also called Chinese caterpillar fungus, Cs-4, Dong Chong Xia Caoor, or semitake, is a fungus native to the Tibetan plateau in China. The fungus is parasitic, and grows in the moth caterpillar. Spores […]
Expat Life at Treetops
Monday, July 7th, 2008With John gone at work all day today, I’m starting to settle in to life at Treetops. It’s so nice that they serve breakfast in the Sunbird Cafe every morning – John and I are able to go down and have a nice brekkie with coffee before he leaves for work. I’ve been sticking to […]
Mexican food, Holland Village and Chimps
Sunday, July 6th, 2008So last night I put on jeans for the first time since arriving in Singapore (seriously). It actually wasn’t too bad. I think the key is to simply not walk far distances while outdoors. We’ve certainly been told as much by some of the locals. Anyway, I put jeans on as part of an overall […]
