I arrived at about 12:30PM on Sunday. Singapore is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. I expected to go right to our new home but got a surprised to know that I was going straight to Chinese luncheon with local pastors from our church and others. I was wearing a Steeler t-shirt and had not shaved in 24 hours, but oh well! Found the least wrinkled dress shirt in my suitcase and changed in the hotel bathroom. A little water in the face, soap under the arms, rinsed my mouth out with some water and off I go to lunch. Ten courses later and it was time to go to our new home.
For three to four months we will be living on the tenth floor of an older condominium that will be tore down in October. They do that in Singapore. If it starts to look old they tear it down and rebuild. It is older but still nice. It could use some paint but for the time it will do as is. It is very conveniently located near Orchard Road, which is the heart of the shopping area. Everyday will feel like a date when Debra gets here. We walk about two blocks and it is comparable to being in downtown Manhattan. (Pictures are the view from the condo)
Jet lag is upon me. The problem is that it is 5:34PM and going to sleep now will have me awake in the middle of the night. I can't fight it any longer, to bed I go.
