Hello… I know, I know it has been a LONG time. Glad
you are still following me and my adventures.
This entry is about what I was up to during the day
before I got a job. It has been nice, because there are a lot of activities for
wives (or husbands) when spouses are working or the kiddos are at school.
Before we came to Singapore I really got burnt out
on working out for various reasons. Here in Singapore I have no choice but to
be mobile, because we made the decision not to get a car when we got here. We
walk everywhere, the public transportation system has been fairly convenient
and taxis are everywhere. It was an adjustment walking soooo much, but now you
don’t really notice how much or how many miles you walk. As mentioned the
public transit is convenient and inexpensive, but I will expand that on a
different day.
I remember during the summer when I was in the 7th
grade, my sister and I took tennis lessons. It definitely gave us something to
do, but honestly I never thought I would play again after that summer. You
probably see where I am going with this. They offer tennis classes once a week –
Beginner and Advanced. It was a great
time and honestly was one of the avenues to meet people. There are some very talented
people around here when it comes to tennis… I personally have some room to
improve, there have been some missed shots/hits. Haha.
Coffee Time happens about once a month and friends/acquaintances I have made, meet up for yogurt, just kidding just making sure your
paying attention - coffee. If you want
to go to coffee, heck I am IN… YUM!!! This is nice because even though you may
live within a couple of blocks of people… You
get to re-connect and catch-up, oh and I can’t forget this is when you
typically will meet people. There are Starbucks, Coffee Bean and
Tea Leaf (nice to get my Foo Foo coffee fill), Hawker Centers (previous
entry about what these are) and more. One of the last ones we went to there was
about 12 people, SO FUN!!!!
For a while, I was going to the movies on the
Tuesdays (discount days) about once a week during the day. I saw The Other Woman, Grace of Monacco, Walk of
Shame and more. We would just get a group together and go. I have always
liked going to the movie. The movies are different here then they are in the
states, but again we can save that for another day.
Book Club, so fun!!! I have never been involved in a
book club before and I actually enjoy it, however I need to be better about
completing the book. We meet once a month about a book and it RANGES as far as
books we read… when we read a book that turns into a motion picture we
sometimes have MOVIE NIGHT.
Well, there is a lot more to say, but I need to
leave some for a different day. Singapore has been a wonderful experience for
me and I look forward to the days to come. The people here are wonderful and I
am truly blessed!!! Hope you enjoyed this entry and hopefully I will get better
about the time span between them. Take care!
