A horse is a horse, or course of course. . . .

Let's get right to the fun stuff - this blog is a reverse mullet, party in the front and business in the rear (a cut I've seen here).

Boys are like Sherpas here. It's genuinely accepted that men often carry their lady's pocketbook. Also, many men here carry the European Handbag (ManPurse or Murse). It's not uncommon to see dual handbags. I'm just sayin.

A horse is a horse, of course of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course,
That is of course
Unless the horse. . .
Has a lamp upon it's head. . . .
This guy lives on the 11th floor of our hotel, which is where the coffee and pool table are. He scares the shit out of me everytime I go up there
Here's some other stuff:

It's a spa, but, it's called Buff & Rubz.

Sign on the wall in the subway. I got nothing - just enjoy.
So this last one is the door to enter or "alight" the subway, or MRT. In good taste, you don't "get off" in Singapore - you alight :) Now because it's so busy in Singapore, these markings are in front of every door so people will stay out of the way of the alighting passengers before they board. FYI, this was a waste of paint.
When we last met, I was anxiously awaiting the return of Ms. Kellie from Ireland. She has in fact returned and we've been busy since her arrival Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon was spent recovering from the flight for her, and recovering from Friday nights Indian cuisine for me. We then spent a fantastic evening enjoying some friends, some drinks and some sights from rooftop bars just outside of Chinatown. Any of you adverturous enough to come visit will have to see Chinatown.

Sunday we went to Ikea - which no one told us beforehand, was a monumental mistake. Mobscene - we did get some ideas for things we'll need for the apartment WHICH Kellie saw yesterday and APPROVED. I picked the apartment and Kellie liked it. Whoop-Whoop. But - tis OH-fishal - we signed a two year lease - in it to win it now.

And lastly - I was offered a job late yesterday afternoon - to which I have yet to reply as I'm awaiting some additional information (like availability of "wiggle-room" in the money). So once I make the call, I'll give more detail.
