Out and About in Singapore

Arriving back in Singapore after our fabulous time at home was a bit hard. It took me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things, missing home a lot. But it didn’t take too long to realize how lucky we are to have two places that we love. We started by spending lots of time at the pool, which we have so much fun at, Madi loves it and is getting more and more adventurous every day.
Madi’s birthday was the week after we returned so we took her to the botanical gardens, which she enjoyed. Then we had cake later on in the day.
We went again to the Botanical Gardens for a friend’s birthday, which was a lot of fun, it poured rain and the boys played a new game called Speed Croquet and had a blast.
Steve’s birthday was next and we went our for dinner, just the 2 of us to Clarke Quay and did the reverse Bungee then on Sunday afternoon we had a BBQ around the pool, so nice to get everyone together and Steve loved BBQing, although he missed propane a lot!
We decided this year to not go on the staff get-away to Sibu island and instead spend the money and time doing things around Singapore. So we went to the bird park and we went out for Champagne Brunch at the Fullerton.
Other things that have been happening, a friend’s 40th, we went out for Fondue, so yummy.
We had a “bling” party and a “purple” party…people like themes here!
Madi loves to paint
And I went and learned how to make perogies!! So delicious!

The next thing that we did was go to Cambodia, that entry is next…I hope!
