Activities

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 7^th 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!
