June Update

I want to reiterate, I loathe blogging but love my Grandparents who thankfully, can't do Facebook.

Since my last update, I have gotten a pretty cool job at World Sport Group-www.worldsportgroup.com.sg.

I have traveled to Hawaii, Tokyo and Cambodia.

Can't say enough about Maui. So I won't even try cause it was the best place I have been so far, and I have been a lot of cool places.
It was beautiful, relaxing and so much fun!
Worst part was me discovering my only true fear, plummeting to death.
Kris make me get up at 4 am to drive up a volcano/mountain and every hairpin turn, I would make him go 5 MPH because putting it mildly, I was losing my sh*t. I was bawling, shaking and completely overcome with anxiety at dying. I hope to NEVER feel that way again. Poor Kris :)

Tokyo kinda stole my heart too! I loved it. It was freezing and I was ill prepared with only sandals, but it was a nice reprieve from the Singapore heat.
We meet Kris' Mom, Phyllis, there for her birthday present! She loved it!
We had sushi for breakfast, got lost a few times, walked around, shopped and soaked it all in that we were in a foreign country TOGETHER! Finally!
I can't wait to go back...

Cambodia with Jamie & Jason Walsh for my 31st birthday!
Again! How cool it was to be in a foreign place with friends!
I had the most "fun" experience on a vacay yet here...2 hour Quad ride through the country! We were hot, sweaty and filthy, but loving it!
Everything was SO cheap. We stocked up on the softest cotton tees, drank $1 beers, $16 champagne, had amazing food and I got to hold the cutest baby boy EVER! I would go back in a second...

So that's in a nutshell. I am at work right "working"...I am a CRM Specialist for 3 months, then transitioning to an Office Manager/Client Relations type role in August.

Hopefully my next update will be me in London for the Olympics! Go Sarah and Bryan!

Singapore, Singapore

Howdy!
I just wanted to clear up some things about where I live...
I live in Singapore, Singapore, NOT Singapore, CHINA.


It is probably the richest city in the world, NOT a Third World country.

Yes, we can drink the water from the tap.

No, I do not live next to rice paddies.

No, we don't ride in tuk-tuks to work.


I live in a brand new high rise apartment with an elevator and marble floors. I have 3 bathrooms and a gas stove.

We do get cockroaches in the city, and geckos in our apartment but we live at the equator.

YES-I live at the equator! So yes, it's very hot all the time.

Yes, we celebrate Christmas. It's not an "American" holiday people.


It's super clean, the transportation system is perfect and most importantly...

EVERYONE SPEAKS ENGLISH! (They learn it as their first language in schools, believe it or not)

Japanese and Chinese are NOT the same thing, or the same culture.

Any other questions, just ask Google ;)

February Update Y'all

Welp, not much more to report than cooking, cleaning, cleaning, eating, relaxing, stressing, shopping, cooking, napping, playing soccer and lounging by pool. Rough life I know, but it does get super stressful being bored and unemployed. I wish I qualified for government assistance. Maybe I should have a few babies out of wedlock.

Kris booked our tickets to Hawaii in April! On the way back from Hawaii, we are spending 2 days in Tokyo with Ms. Phyllis Bare! Ariel will also be here and then Jamie and Jason are coming in May! So exciting to have visitors from home! AND in 3 weeks, the Cossman-Eardleys! Whoop whoop!

So...that's about it. Had my first job interview but they went with a local who was more experienced. I don't blame 'em. More time for me to sleep in...

Sorry I am the worst, most boring blogger ever.

January Update Update

Thank god I don't want a career in blogging. The last update was in November, my apologies Grandparents and loved ones NOT on Facebook.

I am still job searching, but with the holidays, there hasn't been too many options I am interested in.  Another blessing is I don't have to contribute to rent, bills or groceries (thank you Samson!) so the stress of being unemployed is not so stressful. I fill my days with cleaning, cooking/baking from scratch, lunch with friends, exercise, reading mass books, doing a 1000 pc. puzzle, painting, learning to sew, decorating, organizing and re-organizing, exploring and seldom relaxing by the pool. Much to what I used to believe, lying by the pool gets old fast. Fact.

Over the holidays I went to an island in Indonesia called Gili Trawangan and then spent a few days in Ubud, Bali. I will 100% go back to Ubud. Gili T. was a once in a lifetime spot and I am so thankful I got to see it. It was primitive in a different way than camping. The lights and AC would go off often and the water probably was contaminated, but I loved it. We rode bikes (there are only two modes of modern transportation on the island: bikes & horse) and ate tons of good local food, shopped and spent 75% of our time lounging on the beach listening to Bob Marley or snorkeling with sea turtles! Oh! And I petted a 4 month old baby monkey!

We spent a few days in Ubud, Bali (a few of them required me not leaving the room cause of a stomach bug) and I want to go back and buy everything in the streets to put in my future Bellingham house. I recommend everyone go visit Ubud.

We paid a man to climb a coconut tree so he could bring us down a young coconut! It was SOOO scary and cool!
We visited temples, hence the above attire...ate delicious food, shopped more, ate lunch in a rice field, got stalked by some lizard the entire trip and found really cool art.

Life is good. I am so thankful for this opportunity, I am thankful for my support system and the new people I am meeting from all over the world. I love my life, and I thank you for being a part of it.
