FUNNY JOKE
Baby! I have a funny joke! I know what happens when you eat cheese! Love, Sans
Beach Bums + VIVA ESPANA!!!!!!
Hi Baby, I am very jealous that you get to be in Spain while Spain is the soccer soccer football futbol champion! I wonder what you have been up to - and how emotional some people got last night. I actually stayed up quite late to watch the game - and though it was not particularly exciting, you know how much I love to watch sporting events! :D I was definitely rooting for Spain the whole time!...
playa / plage / beach / arena
Yesterday the designer of tokidoki was in Singapore, and my friend got her hat signed - with additional sketches!!!!!!!!! - soooooo jelly!!!! Yesterday I was a lazy bum allll day. I was planning to go to the National Orchid Gardens, but I didn’t want to go by myself - it was so hot in the day that I stayed in the AC all day. I went out for dinner at Clarke Quay [and dessert ^_^]- and went...
shoppingla
TINKIPOO, I see you hiding away in the pictures of Valencia! Um…are you taking pictures. I wish you would upload some. Does the family have any pets? Onwards with my life! I met someone who owns a bunch of korean drama, so I get to borrow them. HIP HIP HOORAY ! I was slightly brokenhearted when I found out that princess hours only goes to the 4th epi on youtube. But I was chatting with...
MOM
MOM actually stands for the Ministry of Manpower, which is where I was all day yesterday. I went to pick up my employment pass. I waited about 2.5 hours for a 2 minute process. Then I came back at 4 to pick up my shiny new green card! I officially am employed in Singapore now! Hooray hooray! Nevermind that it’s been a few weeks since I’ve started to work. During my two hour break, I...
Puccini's Turnadot
I just bought the tickets for Puccini’s Turnadot show on August 29 (Friday) at 8 PM!!!! I got pretty decent seats (the premium ones were all taken, so I had to settle for the second best). I’m pretty excited, even if I don’t get to dress up all the way. The lady said it wasn’t a very formal affair - just a simple dress and heels will do. But because I’ve practically...
Tuesday
Hi Baby, I just finished translating your e-mail to Mama y Papa. Yesterday was a lot of fun - in a very simple way. After work I went to play some pool next to Parkway Parade (‘twas fun even though I wasn’t playing very up to par -__-). Then I went for some Thai food (yes, I got the “phat thai” - as we know it, Pad Thai) and then walked home (about a 20 minute walk in high...
I am a good girl.
I am a good girl! I don’t eat bananas… ^_^ Um…….TB, I did all my laundry yesterday, swept and mopped the floor, and watched some phim tau. I’m getting darker slowly but surely everyday. Today I think I will go play pool with a friend, and tomorrow have dinner with a friend whose birthday party I missed to go to the wedding instead. Did you see the pictures? Facebook...
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tinkers, Today is your birthday!! Love, Sans
Sunday
Hola Tinko, Hable con mama y papa ayer cuando estaba en la oficina trabajando. Toda es buena en la casa - y nuestro tio llego de Francia para ayudar Papa con el proyecto grande. Lei pocos investigaciones y luego fui al apartamento para cambiar la ropa y ir al fin de la boda de una amiga. Estaba muy buena - me vesti el vestido de diseno de puntos con las perlas. me encanta forever xxi! Que barrato...
Weddings!
Hello Baby, Friday I came into the office a bit late because I came back so early in the morning from KL. Just worked some group dynamics stuff and took off a bit early to get the manicure for the wedding on Saturday. A little juvenile pink with sparkles, but they didn’t really have the color I wanted (you know me: flower girl), so I tried to mix two things…it worked out all right. I...
Malaysia!
Dear Tinkers, So here is a summary of things that I saw/felt on the way to, in, and coming back from Malaysia: Woke up at 2:45 AM to take a quick shower (fell asleep finally at 11 after packing for a quick trip to Malaysia in my carry on) Realized that a carry on was a bit excessive and transferred everything into the tote bag Waited for an hour for my ride to come (he woke up at the time he was...
I'm sort of hungry....yes
Yesterday was so much fun! I came to work early and ate at a hawker center next to Parkway Parade, which is the name of the building in which I work. I had roast pork with rice, and it costs like $2USD!! So amazing!! What else? I left work on time and met up with some girls (one who I know from Purdue). We ate at this Indian restaurant (funny how I keep typing Indiana instead of Indian) which is...
Random Things
Dove Shampoo and Conditioner are amazing for my hair. It has never felt so silky smooth. I saw a completely white cat with a black tail and a little black dot on its head this morning. Two things almost hit me on Saturday: a fruit fell from a tree (stupid bird!) and some aircon fluid inside the museum. An ant bit my arm this morning. I even said ‘ow’ because it actually hurt!! I...
For Tinky, my sister...
Dearest Stinkbomb, So I read the chatty you did with JW. I don’t know if I can leave up my internet, but I will do my best. Chatty boomba. Anyways, what have I been doing the last few days? I have been reading lots of reports about shipyards and about marketing strategies for the language school project. I am only writing in English because the rest of my audience wouldn’t be able to...
growing pains
The last few days of work haven’t been as exciting as last week (of course). They mainly consisted of me reading some marketing books for the language school and looking up articles relevant to the shipyard project. I probably will be going to Malaysia next week sometime to work with the team there on constructing a report. Last night I went to Orchard Road (which is definitely overrated) to...
updates...

FM and family are leaving for dubai today, so i will be a bit alone for a...
Setting up l'appartement
Yesterday I went crazy at the “Wal-Mart” of Singapore: Giant [superstore?]. There is another one, but I don’t remember the name. I think that a Costco or Sam’s Club would do really well here, honestly. I mean, who doesn’t need to buy things like cereal or beer or Coke in bulk? I mean, it could be the American consumerism coming through my perspective, but because...
iPod: Transferring Songs from iPod to PC
I know that this is not necessarily relevant, but it was useful information to me, so take note: If you want to transfer all your music from your iPod to your music folder: http://lifehacker.com/software/ipod/how-to-copy-songs-from-your-ipod-to-your-pc-105256.php Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner...
And yeah...
There was a sign in one of the ladies restrooms: Please don’t wash dishes in the toilet. I laughed like a loon.
First Week of Work
Ferry to Batam Fried Fish! Karaoke Quick summary of my past week because it went by so quickly, and I had no Internet access in Batam (an island of Indonesia). On Monday, didn’t go into the office. I just went straight to Harbourfront in Singapore to get on a ferry to Indonesia (going through customs, etc.) to Waterfront City. I fell asleep so everything was good; I was so worried that I...
SimLim
Ate a brunch with MamaBear and Fpoo - leftovers from last night. Then we went to SimLim (though we were waiting for an agent to call back for the longest time…she didn’t even call later on - we called her around 6 even though she said she would call back around 11. stinker!) and FM and I each bought an Asus. His is nicer and more gaming computer, and mine suffices and will complete...
