** at singapore zoo**
we are home... four wonderful nights in singapore. it was great... i kept thinking of melting pot... P would describe to people here about the US being a melting pot for the world... but i think singapore is the melting pot for asia. i mean people from all over asia was living there... very multi-asian and they all spoke english in the same accent. i thought it was fun. although sometimes i felt so bad i couldn't understand them. one thing is that singapore is very expensive. it's like rodeo drive for the whole country. but it was a good change of scenery... very clean and orderly.
we got our visas so i am an official working lady here. yeah!!
thanks for your prayers in safety. we had a great time.
while we were there... i had a couple P moments...
1. i was in a store looking around and leanne rimes song "how could i" came on... and i started to cry. i didn't cry because i thought those words were true, but how at one point i did think those words were true and how i'm doing so much more than what the lyrics say.
2. we were in this mall and there was a german store. we went in and i couldn't believe it, but it was a store full of pyramids... those things you put candles on and the fan on top goes around. well P always talked about how his grandma would have that out at christmas and wondered if it was around anywhere... well i got one. actually i killed two birds with one stone, because P also always wanted a nativity scene at our house... so the pyramid is mary, jospeh and baby Jesus with the candles around it. i'm so excited to have it.
it was good to have those moments... again they are just reminders of how good our God is and also that i still remember things about him when sometimes i feel like i don't think about him much.
i think that's it... we'll probably take this weekend to recooperate and then... a full week will begin with work and school...
**congrats to BR and MR... your daughter is beautiful. told you it was a girl.**
