I'm Back!

Just got back yesterday from my Singapore-Phuket trip & boy am I pooped! Had a greeeat time but it was all a bit non-stop.

The main event of course was my GrandMa's 80th birthday dinner.

The rest of the trip included shopping time (Thank you Takashimaya), but mostly hanging out with the rellies since we're all rarely in the same place at the same time.

My new Singapore restaurant recommendations for Singapore are :
- the Xiao Long Bao restaurant at the Paragon Shopping Centre basement (sorry, don't know the name)
- 5-Star Chicken Rice on East Coast Road
- The Soup Restaurant (or something like that) in the shopping centre on Orchard with the massive DFS (Duty Free Shopping) store

So much to say about the Phuket trip, so I'll save that for another post!

It feels like the last days of summer are upon us here in Adelaide. The weather is slowly turning colder & the days are not so bright … :(

But I’ve been enjoying the sloow Adelaide days … last weekend went to the Adelaide Hills Food & Wine Festival (yes, another food & wine festival. It’s what we do). Drank some yummy whites & nibbled on things like osso bucco & decadent choclate brownies. Yumo.

So what does a summer girl do when the sun starts turning its back on her? Well, you head for warmer waters of course!

Yes – I am once again holidaying!! Ha ha ha – bet there are friends out there reading this thinking “What the?” Tomorrow I’m flying over to Singapore (mmm … sun …) for my Grandma’s 80th Birthday. It’s been planned for quite a while, so I was lucky to be able to get leave without pay to come to this.

Then after hanging out with the rellies for a while I’ll be jetting to Phuket with my boy for some well deserved R&R. Well, he deserves it anyway, not sure I do!

Why Phuket? Well, when a return flight there costs only SDG$90 return … “How not to buy??” (as Kev would say)
Unfortunately I didn’t read that the taxes are as much as the flight until afterwards … but nevertheless it’s still damn cheap! (Thank you Jetstar Asia)

Anyway, will write again & hopefully have some tropical type pictures to post!
