a friend of ours from houston (as well as one of dirk's coworkers, john pierson) came into town. so we went out to dinner with him and some other coworkers to chijmes (http://www.chijmes.com.sg/). chijmes is an old church converted into shop, restaurants, and bars. the restaurant we ate at was esmirada's (http://www.esmirada.com/).

before we ate- all tan from our trip to phuketthe clinic- clarke quay (http://www.theclinic.sg/)
really crazy website- be sure to check it out!
some time in january when kim & kaes came back from the states... kim took me out for my birthday. i wanted to try the clinic bar in the clarke quay area... they serve you drinks in syringes and iv bags, you sit in wheelchairs, the tables are strechers, and the lights are surgery lights. it is rather amusing, so amusing that a german tourist came up and asked to take our picture of us sitting in the wheelchairs.

our friend sarah, who we met through misty & frankie, got us tickets to this theater production that makes spoofs on singapore. they made fun of local singapore rules, which i have to admit some are pretty funny, like right now there is a fertility promotion. if you havea child now they will give the father 3 months of paternity leave... their birth rates are decreasing therefore this is their way of increasing their population. you would think a country, which is an island, with 4 million people would be satisfied. here is a picture infront of Raffels... the founder of singapore. we were in the boat quay area having drinks after the show at timber.

all the ladies (claudia, laura, tina, kim, and farah)february 15th- sunset on sentosa
we ended the weekend with a day at the beach with some good friends and otto. frankie, misty, bailey (their daughter), sarah, and some more friends met us at the beach with cold beverages and snacks in hand. it was a great way to end the amazing weekend. otto loved the water and the outing... he is so used to going everywhere with us and we can't bring him to many places around here.

coming soon-
this week another one of dirk's coworkers and our friend, philippe gay, is here for work/vacation. we have a happy hour at bellini grande, dinner at newton hawker, and dirk's b-day party at indochine on orchard planned for entertainment. now hopefully he can get over his 48 hour travel, his flight made an emergency landing in helsinki, finland (i thinnk) after bad weather in moscow, russia turned it around. so 24 hours later he landed in singapore... i am sure he is pooped! only a week and a half till i will be back in the states... oh how i dread the flight!
