Monday, Monday…
Yesterday was a pretty great day. Carly and I got back from Malaysia on Sunday night (blog posting about that and pictures to come), and yesterday (being Monday) it was nice to get back settled at home and happily carry on with my coding and laundry duties while Carly was in a PD (Professional Development, for all you not-so-teacher-savvy types) day at the school.
I met her at school after she was done and we jumped on the bus down to Holland Village to drop some stuff off at the tailor, and then decided to pop into Starbucks for a coffee. What I couldn't believe is that yesterday was the first time I've been to Starbucks since we've been in Singapore. Which means that I haven't been to Starbucks for nearly 2 months. That is a world record for me. The last time I hadn't had Starbucks for 2 months would have been... well... never? At least not since before I'd ever been to Starbucks in my life (Grade 10 - so um, 11 years ago?). At any rate, my double-tall-non-fat-caramel-macchiato was something to behold. Carly rather enjoyed her tall-non-fat-hazelnut-latte as well. She added a little scone to her order, and the whole thing set us back S$15 and change. Ouch.
After that, we did some grocery shopping at a nice new Cold Storage that was recommended to us, and I think it's probably our new favorite grocery store.
Yesterday also marked the most impressive thunder and lightning storm we have seen yet here in Singapore. Absolutely wonderful - constant rumbling and crackling in the sky. Just amazing.
Well, that's all for now, I promise we'll post some Malaysia stuff shortly.
