Am still in Singapore. The Boy is now back in Houston. We're both jetlagged but happy. The Family had great time with The Boy, feeding him and such.

The Thesis needs to get done, and The Wedding needs to be planned. Am dedicating this week to aforementioned thesis and The Great Dress Search (timed to coincide with The Great Singapore Sale, or GSS***). Which kinda means explains why I shouldn't be/haven't been blogging.

***I read somewhere that Singaporeans love acronyms, and realised that it's true! Take this for example:
MRT = Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore tube, but it would be an insult to call it the tube as much much much nicer than said tube)
UDD = Urine Detector Device (apparently people get up to things in HDB lifts)
HDB = Housing Development Board (very very nice council flats that people actually own)
CPF = Central Provident Fund (current government tax disguised as future private savings)
ERP = Electronic Road Pricing (congestion charge)
APPLES = Application for Passport Online Electronic System (it's a very high tech country)

Any other suggestions????

More updates soon.

UPDATE: One more I found in The Dress Search:
MTM = made to measure
