So I've got dishes and silverware coming next Friday but knives and forks are expensive in the shopping centers Here and I haven't made my way back down to chinatown to get cheaper stuff... For some reason

Functional...non-optimal, but functional

Update - What happened to January?
Life in Singapore is pretty real now. Been spending all month in a mix of heavy workload (2011 business planning, sales stuff, preparing for Q1 travel, etc) and staying up too late getting into the nonsense that is Singapore's nightlife...
I've realized that you really have to be aware of your daily routine when you work from home and I think its especially important when you are living in an environment that is so new and depending on means of transportation and socializing that are so drastically different than you are used to. Teaches you a little bit about "how you do things" and your ability to keep things fresh and exciting.
Work days here in Singapore consist of either running around town in a frantic pace to meet somewhere, or long thoughtful days in which I barely leave my apartment or talk to another person...interesting balance!
Having said all that....all told, I've been able to balance these things out pretty well. Now I am settled in enough to start trying to plan my vacation travels (the list can be long and daunting!). I know Cambodia, Vietnam and New Zealand are pretty high on the list, but a trip to Tibet is realllly hard to stop thinking about and trying to figure out who would be most likely to come visit and enjoy some of those sites with me is an added complication! Ahhh the headaches!
Anyway, as is usually the case, spent plenty of time frustrated with the taxi and service industries in Singapore, but all in all life is good. Here are some other random photos for the sake of photos....
