Paul dared me, so I went for it! Let’s see if he will chime in on my post heading (LOL)! Anyway, here are some pictures of our apartment in Singapore. We’re quite comfortable and have enjoyed the layout – as you can see it’s pretty much white, brown and more white. So, I went to Little India a few days ago and picked up some color (placemats, runners and FLOWERS)!
We have a docking station, so I get to groove to my favorite music (right now – Billy Joel “All About Soul”). TV is okay here in S’pore but we don’t have movie channels, etc. and the DVD player only plays Asia region DVD’s – ugh! So, all of the DVD’s I brought back here, we have to watch on our computers (to be fair – we did have a player at Pan Pacific that did play all of our discs, so I just “assumed” that they would work here. FYI – never assume anything in Asia – you will be disappointed every time!).
As my parents say, “So, it’s more like a hotel than an apartment.” Yes, I’ll admit, we’re spoiled. We’re in a “serviced apartment,” so it gets cleaned daily (if we want) and the sheets/towels are changed. But, at least we have a kitchen this time (and I’ve used it multiple times every day this week)! As you can see from the counter, I already have my staples: Kecap Manis, Dark Soya Sauce and Light (not Lite) Soya Sauce. Paul’s already enjoying the feasts and I’m taking another class on Saturday, though more Western, “Julie and Julia: Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” Coriander Leaf is going to get a lot of my business these next four months!
Off for a fun night tonight – going to The Screening Room (dinner and a movie: The Wedding Date). It’s owned, I believe in part, by Samia Ahad – owner of Coriander Leaf. Looking forward to it!
Of course - there have to be some toilet pix - and yes, they are Western toilets - yeah! LOL The first is my bathroom and the second, Paul's - love it!
Not quite ready for visitors (just kiddin') - but, the second bedroom is starting to take shape...
The Master is nice but you have to scoot in between the wall and the bed - too funny! Of course, that's Paul's side of the bed!
Well. Back you go.
ReplyDeleteI do recognize that runner in the bedroom. And how do you find the polished tile floors, much different than in CO.
Isn't that a kick - I love that runner. I had to go and buy one for us here, too! Are you enjoying yours?
ReplyDeleteYes, the polished floors are a bit much, but much to my relief I don't have to clean them! LOL
very cool place, Amy....just a little jealous, gotta admit. Really wish we could go out there. I'm liking the cooking classes - lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteSo I guess this means you won't be using brown and white for your color scheme in Colorado? Nice place - it looks very efficient!
