Thanksgiving at Palawan Beach

Colin took his first business trip to Hong Kong this week.  Because the boys were out of school on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving Holiday, he took those days off to be at home with us.  We did another "staycation" and went to Sentosa yesterday.  We didn't do a lot of planning for this little trip but it turned out pretty well.  We took a taxi down to Sentosa and walked over to Port of Lost Wonder.  We purchased tickets for the water park and the kids went down the slides two times, did the foam pit, and we spent the rest of the day on the beach.  Next time we wont bother with POLW. 

After POLW we wandered around Palawan Beach looking for a nice spot to set up for the day.  We ended up buying lunch at a little Beach Bar and camped out on their lawn chairs for the remainder of our day.  The kids spent the entire day playing in the sand and water.  Colin and I read our books, played our games, and enjoyed the low-key time together.  

We came home sunburned and tired and ready for something good to eat.  Colin chose his favorite, Chicken Tikka Masala curry from the stand across the street.  We said what we are thankful for and tucked in for some yummy Indian food.  

All in all, it was a perfect day!  

Happy Thanksgiving, from Singapore!

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
