A revealing look at the election in Singapore « Imagethief

In preparing for our immiment vacation to Singapore, ran across this article from one of my fav China writers. While I love the idea of Singapore (clean, most western-like City in Asia, great food, more shopping than Hong Kiong, gambling, and did I mention clean?), I have to remember that every place has it's struggles!

Daily Picture Project - Day 144

Every other Thursday morning usually results in completing Math homework at breakfast. Every other Wednesday is Girl Scouts and I usually pack us off to Slice for dinner rather than heading home to cook. This morning she was converting fractions to %'s. Enough to ruin anyone's morning!

Daily Picture Project - Day 137

Well, Natalie played hooky from school today. Got to hang out with Jamie and Lauren. We also had a new friend, Kaitlyn Hendricks, who was in town with her mother on business. We went ice skating at the Mercedes Benz Arena over at the Expo area.
"School? Not today!!!"

Daily Picture Project - Day 136

Ok, day late as all V  P N   services are down in China. Shhh....

Daily Picture Project - Day 135

Back to normal, sort of. Miller's are staying at the house so we have to incorporate! Natalie's idea was to make a grave and sweep it for QingMing Day. A day late (we has off yesterday for this holiday), but still good!
"Sweeping the grave of a Zombie on QingMing Day is scary!"

Daily Picture Project - Day 134

I "missed" putting  a picture out here Monday. And guilt has set in. Natalie was sick Monday (really sick, not fake sick) and so the day slipped by without a picture of her (I blame the 1 1/2 hours sleep I got!). But, decided that since I make the rules for this, I can adjust them if needed. So, here is a picture of what Natalie DID NOT do Monday! The Miller's are here in Shanghai visiting and the Fanset girls had Monday off, so we went bowling and got ice cream.
"We miss you Natalie!"

Daily Picture Project - Day 133

Today is Field Day at School. Natalie has been DREADING this day for a week! Thought warming up on the trampoline might take her mind off it for a bit!
"Three Cheers for Field Day (NOT!)"
