orchard road

december 13th- happy birthday frankie

IndoChine on Orchard Road
CatsInECradle- band at IndoChine



















Frankie & Dirk- $35 SGD per pitcher
























so last night we traveled to IndoChine on orchard road for frankie's birthday party. frankie is a friend of our neighbor (maxie street) who moved here with his wife (misty), daughter (bailey), and mother in law about a year ago to work for halliburton. (i hope it is ok to mention you guys on here?) orchard road is the rodeo drive of singapore and it is decorated fabulously for christmas including the fake snow flowing in the air near santa claus's house. IndoChine is a restaurant and bar where frankie & misty's friend plays in a cover band, CatsInECradle. it is all outside with frequent foot traffic stopping to hear the band play or watch the giant transvestite dance to the music. it has to be the most fun we have had since we have been here... and we only stayed for a couple of hours due to dirk's AWESOME work schedule (can you sense the sarcasm?). Here are some pics of the night.

so dirk is working this weekend while everyone else is taking home leave and seeing their families over the holidays. he will be working the next couple of days including weekends, 12 hour shifts until the J.O.B. is done... whatever that means. then he is back in vietnam for another meeting, i might possibly fly and meet him next weekend... but again we will see how that goes.

upcoming events this week. i have a second interview with the international clinic on monday... if i get the job then i have to haggle with the singapore nursing board to get registered over here. meaning going back in forth with the texas board of nursing and twu for proper paper work... fun fun. we are also having some curtains made for the living room tuesday plus a bamboo shade for the back patio.

the christmas lights on orchard were great... this is a whole wall of lights with the saying "with God all things are possible"- across the street from IndoChine.



if you look right above the woman who looked straight at my camera as i took the picture- the trannie (in pink)that dances infront of IndoChine- very interesting- also near the notorious "four floors of whores" (yes prostitution is legal here)
