Singapore Belle: One Week

Now that we have been here a week, we are finally adjusting and beginning to settle in. We have been busy since we got here. On Wednesday, we GOT A HOUSE!!!! And that was amazing!! We were not expecting to get a house so soon. It's a Black and White house built in the 19th century. We are thrilled becasue it is on base and conviently located to everything we need. We can venture out into the city easily when we need to.

Bella has had 4 playdates since we have been here. We have been to our friend's house twice for dinner and she has had friends over twice this week. Yesterday, we went to the pool and the kids had a blast. She asked to take a nap....that's a first.

We used the transit system for the first time together. It actually worked well. We went up to Orchard Rd. (the shopping MECA of Singapore) We got caught in a rain storm and had to stay in the mall for a while. Then we took a taxi back to the Ion Mall (our favorite so far) and then found the traditional Singapore ice cream sandwich. It was delicious!!! We walked around for a bit and then found our way back to the transit system and home.

We had our first DATE since Bella was born. We wnet with friends to the Chocolate Bar at Marina Bay Sands. Yummy. We had a great babysitter to stay with Bella. She did great!

Here are some pics of our new house and things we have done so far:)
