Tales of the Exotic Far East

So it can be done. In April, Orsie and I travelled to Singapore and Thailand to accompany Trent on a business trip. Oh yes, I was definitely apprehensive about boarding a plane for seven hours with a five and a half month old baby, anxious even but god love him, he seemed to really enjoy the experience.

So I caught up with the gorgeous Prudie and was even able to be there to celebrate a few birthdays (Prue's, Anthony's and Nicole's). We celebrated on a Friday night overlooking the bright lights of Singapore at the Orgo bar. A seriously hot and steamy night (as seems to be the case almost always in Singapore) cooled down with a few glasses of refreshing French, chilled beers and lots of party food. And there was no shortage of food. I for one sampled many of the tasty rissole sandwiches which were a surprising but very tasty accompaniment for the champers.



Other Singapore activities included lots of swimming, hanging at the Hollandse Club (more swimming), tennis, lunches with Prue's new Singers friends, dinners, a workout with Prue and Nicole's delightful trainer, Leigh... oh, and a spot of shopping.
