Good Times





Since I last wrote I've had a few adventures with some of my friends here in Singapore. I went to Kota Kinabalu for the weekend with Ellen and Tara. We had a great time checking out the local city and taking a trip out to the surrounding islands. The trip was fun and Kota Kinabalu is a great place to visit. We walked the round the city and enjoyed the locals (check out my fish friend!) and saw a beautiful sunset. We also took a boat out to one of the surrounding islands to swim in the ocean. With the exception of sunburns it was a great trip! I'll be returning there in June to hike Mt. Kinabalu...pictures will be up in June of that grand adventure! Then last weekend I group of friends and I headed out to Pulau Ubin, a small island off the north of Singapore. It's part of Singapore, but rural...it's the last Kompang village left in Singapore. We went for an outdoor cooking class. We cooked traditional Malaysian food and picked our own herbs for the food. Although I don't know if I'd do it again...it was fun to do once!!

Long Time No Post





So...it's been a while since I posted anything...my apologies! The Shug and I have been doing well, keeping busy and making lots of friends. Since my last post I took a trip to the UK to visit Mandi and Ann! It was fabulous!! Mandi and I played in the snow and Ann and I checked out every pub in Oxford!! I have been to Bangkok for work...fun but not quite as exciting as the UK trip. On the Singapore side I finally had brunch at Raffles Hotel...very swanky! Free flow champagne...check out how fabulous Miss Ellen and I look! Shug and I send our love to everyone! We miss you lots!
