A Girl on the Move

I’m ready to go…

It’s been a really tough few weeks and I am ready for the break. Just one more day of work and then straight to the airport. I didn’t pay much attention to what I was putting in the bag. Hope I have what I need.

Just over 24 hours until Obama’s Inauguration.
AND……
Four days from now I’ll be flying up to Kuala Lumpur. I’m flying up Friday night after work so that I can sleep in a bit on Saturday morning before flying to Hanoi, Vietnam.
Sunday morning I’ll be picked up and transported to Halong Bay. I am on a three [...]

In 2007 I attended 3 weddings. Tonight I attended a wake. One more wedding and I’m a movie title.
Singapore weddings are very different from western weddings. But the wake, other than some of the Buddhist traditions, really wasn’t all that different from what I am used to.
Four of us left work a little early [...]

A few weeks ago I read and was intrigued by an article about micro-giving. Much like micro-lending, the point is small sums of money adding up to do big things. With micro-giving, you ask people to give small donations, $1, $5, $10, etc. The key is getting a lot of people to give a little. [...]

A good friend of mine from Australia is on his way to Europe for a year. He has stopped in Singapore for 7 days to spend some time with me. I took this week off work to spend time with him. We’ve had a blast playing around Singapore.

Tuesday morning was a later start. Well, it would have been if Debra wasn’t awake crazy early and ready to get up and go. I made myself awake and we went out to try to source some food. Instead of heading towards the cafe mentioned in the guide book we took off towards a busier [...]

Beer has been a part of my life from a very early age. I accidentally got drunk on it at age two (seemed I took sips, gulps, shots of beer from ALL the adults at the party, without getting caught). After that, we almost got thrown out of the Olympia Brewery when I was about [...]

Last Monday I was really, really tired. The kind of tired you get from staying up until well after 4 freakin’ 15 in the morning watching the awesomest tennis match and then getting up to go to work at 8 am. That night I was afraid I’d be too tired to sleep, so I popped [...]
