Singapore.

There is a lot to like about this place. Safe and clean with plenty to do. I’m sure there are bargains somewhere, but this city is more likely to lead to a credit limit increase. At least the pickpockets get a flogging. It makes them easy to identify with welts and a painful gait. If Kael gets through year 2 with first class honours, and later university, he may just end up in Singapore spending every penny as quickly as he earns it.

Our friends live on the 19^th floor within walking distance of the shopping paradise Orchard Rd. It’s Starbuck’s home turf. All my favourite labels are here: Gucci, Louis Vuitton and VB. Shopping sure works up a thirst.

We have at our disposal 2 pools, a tennis court and a gym. So far the pool has been used like Clearasil. Twice a day. Not so popular the exercise based facilities.

Kael spent some “hard earned” at the toy shop today. I sucessfully negotiated a single purchase of a small radio controlled car. His heart was with the tank and giant military aircraft. 

Naomi has rejoined her Samese twin Mia. It would take Victor Chang to separate them.

Eva has spent a lot of time in her undies. We would if we could.

Lissa has had at least 2 near misses with automatic doors. The MRT (underground train) waits for no one.

Tomorrow is the Zoo. Breakfast with the Orangutans, no less. Sounds like bananas may dominate the menu. Stay tuned.
