Ok well i finally got moved in to my apartment, well kind of. I'm living here, but it's a little vacant. At least I like all three pieces of furniture that i have, so that's good. I may try to post a few pics, if the internet will let me.
I still have some details to sort out, but everything is finally working pretty smoothly over here. I am struggling to make it to work when i want to. I'm trying to find a routine that works for me and everyone else - since they are the ones causing all the problems.
Work is nuts. I already different people "managing" me or whatever, leading me in different ways. lets see that took 4 days? not bad. i currently have 2 guys working for me. One is from Myanmar and the other is from Indonesia. Both are smart and are working hard - they just got out of school, so they are so new!! hahaha! (evil laugh)
hey i'm on skype, so look me up if you want to get a hold of me. when the internets are in order i'm able to entertain myself (no TV yet)
I went to the local lunch place today S$3.50 for a big bowl of noodles, pork(i think), some kind of vegetables and it was served wet. that means they put it all in some broth and you eat it. they gave me a goofy looking spoon and some chop sticks. Wet noodles and chop sticks are not for beginners. So after a few minutes one of the guys found me a fork and real spoon. They couldn't believe how fast i could eat with real utensils!
Riddle me this. Food court is outside (34C today), soup-stuff is steaming hot, and everyone is drinking hot tea, WTF?

I Made It
Well I've made it to Singapore.
It was a pretty good trip - nothing really exciting happened - so I guess that's good, except I don't have a good story to tell. Oh, wait a sec - one good story. I flew the direct flight from LA on Singapore Air - I highly recommend this flight for any looking to visit, better seats, more room, etc. but I digress. I had the middle seat in the middle section of seats and was thinking how nice it would be to have an aisle, when someone gets my attention - a young lady - and I recognised her, but couldn't place her face. Then I hear a guy's voice say my name and it was Steve Pearson traveling with his girlfriend back Singapore. Steve works for NORDAM Singapore one of the 3 other expats over here. So, they wanted to sit next to each other and i got an aisle seat. Sweet!
I'm at the Marriott again for a few days and I should move in to my apartment on Monday or Tuesday. I pretty much slept most of the day yesterday and caught up on some work emails. And it rained all day.
Today I'm getting ready to go over to my apartment and check out what's around there for shopping, restraurants, and all that good stuff - at least while it's not raining (monsoon season here).
I want to thank everyone that helped me out the past few weeks getting everything ready and I want to apologize to you that I wasn't able to call or see before I left - I will catch up with you soon don't worry!
Cheers
