About 3 years ago my friend Cynthia came to Singapore for a visit and in mid October this year she returned to Singapore for another visit and to celebrate her birthday with us.

Unfortunately, she picked up the flu AND a sinus infection on her way out here...probably from the flight... so her first few days here were pretty miserable for her.  But, like a good friend, I brought her to Raffles Hospital Urgent Care Clinic (I seem to take an awful lot of our guests there!) and after starting on some antibiotics she began feeling much better.  Thankfully this was just in time for our Halloween Quiz night at the Singapore Cricket Club.  Cynthia was our secret weapon that night with many of the odd trivia facts she knew!  We didn't get first place but we also didn't come in dead last so we were really happy with our performance.


Cynthia was Marilyn Monroe, I was a 1920's girl (though someone said they thought I was a ninja) and Kingsley was a super cool hippie dude and was very proud to be wearing a shirt that he bought for himself at university.

I spent 5 weeks in Seattle this summer enjoying some of the most glorious weather.  Seattle is a great city year round but summers are when it really shines.  When I was booking my trip 5 weeks seemed like such a long time but between working and seeing friends and family it yet again somehow managed to fly by.

Some of my highlights of the trip in no particular order were:

Playing with my Nephews
Being there for both my brothers birthdays
Spending time with family
Eating Mexican Food
End of summer sales
Boston concert at St. Michelle winery
Eating Mexican Food
Seahawks pre-season game (my first game ever!)
Filling four suitcases full of 50lbs worth of shopping!

John Hawk has been a dear friend of Kingsley and mine for many years and has been one of the most eligible bachelors.  He certainly took his time to meet the right lady but he met such a perfect match in Christine.  John and Christine and Kingsley and I bonded last Christmas on our sailing trip around Palawan island in the Philippines.

It was a beautiful wedding on Sept 21st at De Lille winery in Woodinville, Kingsley and I really felt so happy to be there to celebrate their special day.
