Friday the 13th. Great day, always a good day...
I dare say, Friday the 13ths tend to be good days for me. Everyone thinks they are doomed, and so I think I fair pretty well by default if anything else. The 13th also happens to be my birthday. So, that's an added bonus. Anyway, I met up with S. and her friend S. We had dinner at an Italian place in the Holland Village area and then headed over to the White Rabbit for drinks with the Expat meetup. The funny part was meeting P. Check out my post from Feb. 15. That's the story.

...Ikea-ing... Similar to 'lego-ing' only more expensive and more prone to mistakes.
Whew. I sped out of work, picked up my bag from the hotel and jumped in a cab. It was insanity; it was just raining so hard.

After that I met up with S. and friends and hung out near Orchard Road and the assorted Quays. It was a good night, but overall nothing terribly outstanding to note. We hopped from place to place, hung out and had an overall good time.

Still learning about Singapore. Good old fashioned trial by error. Papaya good, apples not so good.
Self explanatory.

I did that 25 things about yourself... Go ahead and read it, I'm not going to tag you. :)
If you're friends with me on Facebook, you can check out my post, which everyone seemed to be doing at the time. Funny how waves of crazy seem to wash over us. In my case, I actually posted one of these lists of 25 things. Sigh. It was something to do.


Chewing Australian gum... Thanks L!
L. came to Singapore for meetings and she was nice enough to be my gum mule. I only brought 3 little packs of gum and that certainly wasn't going to last me long enough. It was a great week- the meetings were a little grueling for me because I was new to everything in the meeting. But everything after the meetings was great-

Found a place, moving in on Friday. Yay! Hoping all will fall into place.
So, I've got two roommates. One gal from Japan who essentially lives with her boyfriend; for real, I only met her the day I moved in and haven't seen her since. She's really the perfect kind of roommate. The other gal is from San Francsico, so we have a lot in common, more or less. It's nice to be able to
