missing in action or maybe just august ...

september 10th- china town

i spent the day with farah in china town at this temple. we had a full day planned of temple visits, dim sum, and pedicures. it was great to get out and so some tourist activities in singapore. as we speak farah and patrick are on their way back to the states. it was great to meet such good friends over here.

singapore skyline at night, pretty amazing


august weekend: little india

farah and i had many last minute days in singapore before she left. we spent a whole day in little india shopping and eating. this here was our favorite shop where we found some beautiful wall hangings along with bedspreads, place mats, and napkins! we had lunch at the banana leaf indian food restaurant. we enjoyed our fresh fruit drinks, naan, and rice... i never knew i would like so much different food while staying in singapore.





august 12th: lady gaga

i went with my beautiful singaporean friend, lili, to lady gaga concert while dirk was gone. it was a great night, not only because it was ladies night and we got free drinks everywhere in clarke quay, but i also got to spend time with lili who i haven't seen in forever. lady gaga was ok, not the best concert music wise but her costumes were great! the concert was at fort canning park which is an outdoor area perfect for concerts. you can see the museum in the background all lit up.

so i have been pretty bad at updating this. this is basically all of august. dirk was gone for a long long while offshore in perth and i have been busy learning the ropes at the clinic. we have planned the rest of our holiday travel until the end of the year. plans are to go to bangkok, thailand for a long weekend in october, november is home to texas, december is back to phuket, thailand to dive the similan islands with my little brother, and then the big trip to sydney for new years plus our 2 year anniversary. lots and lots of travel...
