it's a big funfair

First post since I came back. Been real busy with books and such... and golf.... and cooking.




Finally a holiday to chill out a bit. Ekka holiday that is. Ekka is a day of super-big fun fair cum pasar palam cum mini zoo cum ring show cum fireworks. It is so big that the aussie decided that they needed an official holiday to celebrate that. Nice. No one is complaining, except the entry fee of 16 bucks.

Dale visits!

Dale Mason pop over to singapore for a short stopover before flying off to his China teaching trip. Dale is a tutor cum dean at Cromwell college, Irish australian! I promised that I would show him around our little island paradise. Told by his sister that Sentosa was a brilliant island resort, he wanted to see it for himself. All he wanted was a swim really and boy can he swim. Fella went all the way out of the lagoon in his snorkel, for a moment I thought that was it...... nope. .. 60++ and going strong mate.

I brought him to the most southern point of the Asian continent.
To be honest I didn't know that there was a southern end point in Sentosa.
The highest point in Singapore, all 164 metres of it.
The meal at the indian eating place with sheila:
Meal included soup kambeng, roti john, murtabak, paper prata, teh terik, murukuk and lotsa chatter.

Meal at the best pork rib soup restaurant with my dad. Yup, we eat all parts of the pig here; tail, liver, blood, leg, stomach and intestines. Dale was game enough to try the braised pig trotters (TER KAR), and he absolutely loved it
Yup, what a bloody mess, that is how we do it here mate.

Good luck with the rest of your trip, see you back in Brissy.

feng shui

Remember I did mention the fengshui of this cottage is not that wonderful? Well here it is:
The entrance to the the cottage faces the rubbish dump! The aroma from this big green tin can sometimes drift into our rooms.... hmm...
The balcony opens into the laundry line! Golly!
Every so often we are greeted by the colours of different national flags.
These two combination I believe blocks the flow of qi... bugger.
