Back in Singapore we ate at Jumbo Seafood. This was seafood with the local flava, which the H and I were a little skeptical about. Kind of fishy. More flipper than we were prepared for I think.
Anyway.
Walking around East Coast park beach we were made aware of the surplus of stray cats!Many camping out within yards of each other in the sand. Most with one ear clipped. This means the city has neutered them.
The baby made friends with our house hunter and nick-named him "naughty boy", (because he was late for an appointment). Now, unfortunately she is calling all men who look like they could be Chinese, Naughty Boy. The flight attendant at Singapore Airlines was puzzled by this but his female counterparts were in hysterics laughing.
How does the Singapore change in the seasons? Well, from the 14th floor the fog and rain are very interesting to watch. But are there seasons here? We have been missing the rain in Bangalore. And weather of any kind except for hot and dry.
I watched Revolutionary Road and Frost/Nixon on the plane trip and thought both were excellent, but sad. I don't know why but over the last 3 years I have noticed that movies affect me more deeply and I have to be careful about what I watch. Curious.

anxious to hear how plans go...
I've been wanting to see both of those films!
Nice post Elizabeth....flipper? TMI! "Naughty boy" too funny..it reminds me that Maya calls every man she sees "guy"..."whozat guy?" I think its because we had to call out the "heating guy" one day and it stuck...its a little embarrasing to have such a wee one refer to a full grown man as "guy"...I am learning to watch my mouth! As for movies, I think motherhood has changed my ability to feel things, deeply. I hope I wasn't so superficial before Maya, but now, things weigh heavy and are felt deeply like never before. Like the cats on the beach, upsetting. always good to read your posts though.
I've become more emotional since becoming a mother. I get sad sometimes watching Everybody Hates Chris, even when I'm laughing.
