Life in Singapore in November


Here are a few more photos of life in Singapore in November. We had our annual Thanksmas dinner at Steve and Lisa’s. It is a great night of friends and fantastic food!
We also had our staff Christmas party the last Saturday of November.

Girls' Weekend in Phuket

In November we headed off to Phuket Thailand! The boys had a weekend planned for Killer B so the Girls headed out too. We of course chose an entirely different beach so that we would not have to see them! We went to Kata Beach, stayed in a great place and spent our days on the Beach, in our beach chairs, sipping on fresh juice and vodka. We went shopping at Patong beach for an afternoon as well. It was a beautiful and relaxing weekend.

boys' Weekend in Bali

The Boys had their semi-annual Killer B tournament, they stayed on Patong Beach and enjoyed their weekend of debauchery. They play this game…perhaps I should not be the one explaining this, but they have two teams, and I am pretty sure they line up and throw Frisbees at each other as hard as possible, gaining points with each hit. They drink copious amount of beer and gather quite a crowd watching. They have a really good time and will do it again in Bali in May.


Let the games begin

Yes, that's right, they even have a professional sign!
