Date Night on the Quay

A couple of weeks ago we made it out for a date night. This one had been on the calendar for a while. Failed efforts to get a baby sitter for a few weeks, but finally found someone brave enough to handle our kids, just kidding. Our kids our great and they love having company over. They are at the age where they love to perform for anyone and everyone when they come over.

 It was a much anticipated evening. Since coming back from Oz, Lyndon has been super busy with work. I did not see him in the light of day for a few weeks there. It was nice to get out and spend some time together.

 I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I love discussing the topics with Lyndon. Our conversations usually start out like this "so I was listening to this podcast....". Luckily we are birds of a feather and he finds it all interesting. I fell in love with this guy while listening to him in class discuss all the material. He was is so smart, and articulate at getting his point across. He is everything I want to be.


We went to Clarke Quay to check it out. It's another place that has been on my list for a long time, but I did not want to take the kids and it not be kid friendly and them crying like it was the end of the world. Toddlers, man. Tons of restaurants and party places there. It has a really fun atmosphere. It is kid friendly and I am going to have to take the kids back and ride along the Quay with our scooters. They take them everywhere we go now.




Paella! Love this dish. One of our first dates after we were married living in Cambridge, we went to a Spanish restaurant and had vegetable paella like this. We are nostalgic, and paella is so so good. 
Singapore is colorful and I love it!
I love this pic, because it reminds of when we were dating/first married and Lyndon doing all these great poses. We were so young and carefree then.
We made it to the Merlion! I have been dying to go and see it ever since we have moved here and we finally, finally made it.










Of course, I am closing my eyes in this one.
Couldn't resist taking this shot. 


On our way back to the MRT, we caught a free show by the Esplanade Theatre. It's part of a series, Rhythm Nation, that has been going on this past month. We have been getting educated on all different cultures living here. Fun performance, and great way to end our evening.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
