dirk came back today from vietnam. i actually drove to pick him up from the airport without a problem. i have actually been driving alot of places... with my trusty sidekick otto man. the day before we drove to the de jong house to get there mail and play in the yard. otto brought his new christmas ball (mom- i could not get it away from him) and he played outside for about an hour until otto got too hot. it is about 20 minutes to kim & kaes de jong's house and about 30-40 minutes to the airport... the airport is on the other side of the island for us so it is the farthest distance for us to drive. too hot (at the de jong's house playing in the yard)

we ended up going to the fmc holiday party saturday night after dirk arrived home. he can now say that he has been to three different fmc holiday parties in three different countries... brazil, singapore, and the usa. singapore wins by far... it was a blast! the rasa sentosa hotel & resort
hosted the event which was beach style in the sand. the food was amazing, the entertainment was great (fmc idol, where the employees did the singing... they even had try outs), and the venue was perfect. there were about 800 people there eating, drinking, and dancing. the fmc idol was rather amusing... the winner sang a howie day song. more videos to come. dirk's coworkers were more than gernerous... they all HAD to meet me AND take pictures with me. i guess i am like that blonde haired blue eyed person in the middle of an asian culture... it was a rather blushing experience. the people were so nice, offering drinks and food, to sit at there table and talk to them. all in all it was a great night! fmc gave out over $83,000 SGD in prizes... the winning prize being a 46" lcd tv... that is all we need is another tv. it is great to see everyone from one corporation, but so many different religions, cultures, and backgrounds, getting together and celebrating.

the venue was great... all in the sand
FMC Idol... they love American Idol over here... this was a little bit of entertainment!
