Take a picture (or 28) - it'll last longer

This actually turned out to be both challenging and fun. I picked a day that was not just an ordinary day in the office because you'd be as bored as I am. The pictures are from May 5th, the Thursday before we left for Manila. I attended a conference during the afternoon and then an American Chamber of Commerce, Singapore Chapter (AmCham), Cinco de Mayo event. If you don't know who PT is, best go get caught up on previous rambling.

5th May, 2011 - every 37 Minutes. Enjoy.
 
7:30 AM - Wake up Kellie - Big day in Singapore 

8:07AM - Bus sucks, am I right homes?
8:44 AM - that's where I spend my day. Swanky right? PS - see ANYONE else there?

9:21 AM - this is the view from PT's cube. Well, his BACK faces the view. They know how to just lather us up in luxury

9:58 AM - My coffee spot. 2 complaints - first, even though it's called "2Go" - they still ask if I want "take away" and second, their American Breakfast - it has BAKED BEANS. That's an ENGLISH breakfast. GOD

10:35 AM - Just LIVING the dream

11:12 AM - you asked for it, you got it. One pink mouse

11:49 AM - Train station - again - they try to get people to board and "alight" in an orderly fashion. Ain't happenin


12:26 PM - Somebody say buffet?
Hang in there people - you're only half way there - it'll be worth it -

1:03 PM - Sup ladies. Oh this old thing? Had my tailor whip it up

1:40 PM - Sup ladies. Oh this old thing? Need a lift?
2:17 PM - This is the uber long bridge from the train to the office. It's basically my Green Mile
That's Winnie - I think I was in the restroom (delightfully referred to simply as "the toilet" in Singapore) at 2:54 PM
3:31 PM - it's not the size of your building. . . .
4:08 PM - Oh Hi, didn't see you there
4:45 PM - So yeah, when the Lambo's in the shop. . .

5:22 PM - No PT, it's not time for beers yet
5:59 PM - Only gangstas bust out of work early and slam beers
6:36 PM - KELLIE? Good thing SHE can always see me

7:13 PM - What dirty promo on the TV?
7:50 PM - Us with Sam & Lauren - pre-Gaming Cinco de Mayo event. Oh yeah, the little guy? He's the manager. He thought he "understood American Sarcasm" until he met me and Sam
8:27 PM - NO ONE in Singapore had a clue about Cinco de Mayo - cept the Americans. Hey, where DO the Mexicans hang out in Singapore?

9:04 PM - Things starting to pick up. Met some interesting  people. Food stunk, but the beers were cheap

9:41 PM - they did trivia that MEXICANS couldn't win. AmCham - more like AmChumps


10:18 PM - no picture for this slot. That's the house we just bought at home. Cute huh?
Anyway - my suspicion is that there might have been some drinking going on 'round this time?

10:55 PM - I mean, awesome, right? Engagement picture?

11:32 PM - Guess who won the door prize. BOO - YAH.
Maybe it's time to head home.

12:09 AM - BUS SUCKS - but isn't my Kellie adorable?

Just another Thirsty Thursday in S'Pore

OK, I'm catching up, I've got a Bali blog in the works, and an "Insights and Incidents" piece as well
