The S'pore

I will let you figure this one out
So Barbara found out about a bag and shoe sale so she dragged me out to it. There were a lot of driven women there. The type of women that would gladly scratch your eyes out if you happen to pick up a pair of shoes they were interested in. I was a little scared.
See that slightly deranged look in her eye. I could feel the credit card starting to heat up in my wallet
The animal kingdom was well represented. Here we have the bird family
Cats
Snakes and sea life
Anything and everything shoe was there
Oh yeah and then there are the bags
There's that look again
I'm not sure where the hot pink snake comes from but I am pretty sure it's the tropics. Probably highly venomous
The fluffy leather wolf bag, so now we have found the canines
Lets just say it was a bad year for snakes and gators
Later that night we met up with the Matla's and went for a little grub. Ribs to be exact. Not sure what it is with the Matla men but ribs really bring out the best in them.
I think there may be some sort of latent cannibalistic boar gene buried in their DNA
A random set of keys hanging on a street sign...
Interesting advertisement. Not sure when the first week of Wednesday is
This one looks like it was printed in China Town somewhere in the Bayou
So Please guess how much these two boxes of Cheerios cost in Singapore...


$20 YEAH $20 That's all I have to say
Last week we had a fantastic meal with the Matla's. This was the menu - all recipes can be found at http://biggreenasianegg.wordpress.com. These along with everything else they cook on the egg
How I ended up with this little squirmy worm I am not sure. I decided to hang her upside down and let her play in the rain. It seemed to work
What???
Ah Ye Ol Bug Zapper. Something you don't find very often in Vancouver. This is one especially efficient, it has a suction fan so the little blood suckers can't get away
The mad scientist at work
Um mm roasted duck, yum yum
The chef pontificating on his bbq'ing prowess
A fine looking meal, and yes the taters were done in duck fat, doesn't get much better than that
And the slaughter begins
Happy Barbara
Oh yeah chocolate tort for dessert
A little scrabble after dinner
Roman didn't win, he blamed it on his glasses
The design for George Lucas's building to be built in Singapore. Its going to be called the Sandcrawler. I guess it kinda looks like a Sandcrawler
And of course the 501st was on site, to keep the peace
Is that a clone trooper out of uniform?? Oh no it's Barbara's boss
The dragon dance
Blessing the site
The inaugural ground breaking
Of course it wouldn't be complete without the 501st breaking ground as well
Is she really a reporter or is she trying to get a date?
So Barbara and I celebrated our 17th anniversary this month and we went to the White Rabbit, a very nice French restaurant in an old Church

Barbara started with some champagne
The pics didn't turn out so good, I think that means we will have to go back (darn) but this gives a little bit of an idea of the interior. I'll do better next time.
And we got a gift with purchase, a Veuve Clicquot ice bucket, or is it a trash can or maybe even a paint pail, what more can you ask for?
The Singapore flyer from a cab.

That's all for now
