Livin' It


Tommorrow we move to another apartment which is close by. My parents and niece will arrive here on Wednesday so tomorrow promises to be a "big"day. Today we slept in and had pancakes. We dilly dallied and then walked around the neighborhood and enjoyed a nice lunch. Afterward Zee and Mommy napped and then Zee and I went to visit the local library. A nice three story structure with a coffee shop built in. It seemed to have a decent selection of works and also included a nice section for Zee to run around and be wild. A nice little Asian girl was running and tripped and fell on her books. The poor little things mouth was bleeding until grandma came and mumbled something in Mandarin....It must of been good because the girl stopped crying and put on a serious face. I tried to get a library card to check out some videos but no dice. I have to have lived in the country for at least three months......too bad la. It didn't surprise me thought. After the library we headed for the beach and had dinner at a local Turkish resto. The hummus and pita were yummy but we were hoping for some falafel. We settled for a nice chicken kabab and rice but Master Zee was too excited by the rides and ambience to eat so went and played on beach. We found an abandoned shovel that had washed ashore and Zee was in his element. I had a sandbox....Zee had the beach. After it got dark we made our next stop at good ole' Kenny Rogers restaurant. Yepper! You gotta know when do hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...Kenny sure did satisfy with all that down home cookin' right there in Singapore. It was kinda surreal but Zee loved the mac and cheese and tasty corn bread and with a picture of Kenny and Dolly Parton, well, shucks, we felt like we were back stateside. I nearly had to fight back the tears. After dinner we got some vitamin F at Mickey Ds. Zee wanted his own ic cream cone so we bought him one. He couldn't finish it but he sure liked the idea of just holding on to it and making a mess. We had to help him out by finishing it. We finally got back home at around 9:30 PM and Zee was still going strong. I finally got him down at a little after 10:00 PM. Will try to post something tomorrow.
