Adventure in Singapore......: Freedom, Currys & Gods law...

Hi again,

Well another week has gone, it is amazing how fast the weeks goes. Last week was full of activities as usual. It was really fun to go for coffee morning at Style Nordic, it is a shop that sell furnish, accessories and cloths from Nordic countries. It has some incredible nice things, if you want to shop Scandinavian quality things I recommend Style Nordic. It is a Swedish woman that owns the shop and the SWEA women had a lovely coffee morning there.

The really good news this week (I think) is that I don't need my extra pair of legs anymore, when the specialist told me, I almost jumped up with joy. Luckily I didn't, as he told me I am not allowed to jump or run yet... So now I'm to swim and cycle to train and strengthen my ankle. I'm FREE again! A couple of visits to the physiotherapist will also help off course. Unfortunately riding will have to wait a while as the ankle has to be stronger.

This means that I will start work today Tuesday, YES, I can't wait. I really hope my new clients going to be nice and that they will enjoy me as a riding instructor. I'll let you know next week how my first week at work went.

Friday this week I went to the hairdresser for the first time in Singapore, luckily I had managed to find a Singaporean that lived in Sweden for 10 years and educated herself to a hairdresser in Sweden... It felt a bit safer than to go to someone totaly new and not know if we will understand each other. What is fantastic here is that you get a head massage also when you cut your hair, I don't complain! I did still play it safe the first time as I only cut my split ends and fringe. And I survived!

I did learn something interesting this week about Singapore law. They have this law that they call Gods Law, and if you feel innocent you can apply to Gods Law when you are defending yourself. What it really means is that if a catastrophe like flooding, earthquakes happens, no one is to blame for it and that it is Gods Law.... Which is fine, but in this case it was a woman that was hit by a falling tree and the court claimed that the owner was responsible for his tree hitting her as it stood on his land and he should make shore the tree is safe for people passing by. Although, if the tree had stood on public land and fallen on the women it would have been classed as Gods Law... Eeeh, do I have to say anything else...

Saturday evening it was time again for the second BBQ. It was a Pre Grand Prix F1 BBQ, You see the Formula 1 Grand Prix was happening here in Singapore this weekend, we thought we will save that one for next year, it is so much things happening here in Singapore, it is impossible to do it all at once! The BBQ was great, good food, good company, can one ask for more in life? Didn't see any Formula 1 though :-D

My social life have really improved since I got to Singapore it is great and god fun! Sunday the whole family whent to Little India, to have a great curry, and it was super. No plates for the food, it was BANAN LEAFS instead. See the pictures, the boys where amazed! A sunday in Little India is bussling, as sundays, are the big day off, for most people, everybody gathers to meet there (if you are from India). It is coloureful and smells from the food and people, defenetly worth the experince.

The Banan Leaf Apolo in little India!

The boys week have been good! They work hard at school, do homework, swim in the pool, play with friends. And this week they got their new Bicycles, it was great, now they want to cycle everywhere we go.
Theo is relly improving in his English, although he doesn't always realise it himself. You can tell it is making his brain working on overtime. At night when we are going to read he often says, -can we read in Swedish please it is to much English here. Bless him. Tim he works harder than he needs, as always. Have anyone got a recepie on how you explain to a child that he is doing more than well and that he doesn't have to be best at all times. The recepie has to make him understand it too....

A proud bycicle owner..:-)

Why does the spelling check give up on me everytime I'm writing this? When I really need it, it stops doing the check and I can't get it working again. Well I have to apologies for my mistakes....

Some pictures of Theo in a show off mood :-D

I also have to show you my autum signs, these shrubs grow at the entrance at our estate and a few days ago they where green and now they are orange red. Yes some autumn coloures and feelings... I almost felt the crispy cold, frosty morning back home when I discovered them this morning.
