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 ;)
