(41) WHAT A TREAT! WHAT A HUSBAND!


My husband had a not so insignificant win on our national lottery, and he gave it ALL to me to have a complete day of spa pampering. Despite my protests he insisted, so I got on the Internet and found a little oasis called Aramsa in the middle of Bishun Park2 and took myself off for a really deep massage for an hour, another hour for a facial and a 2 hour manicure and pedicure. My hands and feet were a wreck and she wanted me to do 3 hours!! Then I took myself to their cafe and had a vegan burger (how pure!!). The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous, set in a public park and all I did whilst I was being pampered was think that this is the sort of house/surrounding I'd love to retire to. Huge leafy plants, koi ponds, bridges, rock waterfalls, no grass, just pebbles and rocks, filtered light, outdoor showers, lush bamboo and palm privacy walls. Oh life can be bliss occasionally. How nice that it's just a few minutes away from the Australian International School where we hope Mya will be attending next year..... I might just get lost occasionally and find myself there again. How very sweet of George. He also took Mya to see the Bee movie and they loved it.


He's taking her to Sentosa to go on the Luge (a high speed cart that races down the hill) and then to the dancing water pool today - Sunday. They'll have a great day again and I'll get into my sewing room. George accidently packed my sewing stuff to come home via the sea freight instead of the air freight and I was like a junky without drugs because I'd taken my sewing machine feet to Melbourne to let a friend trial them. No feet, no sewing, no relaxation. Jerry and Rosie my local Bernina suppliers have be really kind and lent me some feet for my sewing machine. So today I’ll be using a borrowed foot and off I go into another day of bliss - this time in my sewing room making handbags. Oh yes and lunch with one of my Singapore sisters.

It's so good catching up with my friends. I caught up for coffee with my quilting friends on Friday, and on Tuesday we are having our Christmas lunch.

I start house hunting on Monday. I just have a good feeling this time we'll find something super. - I hope so. We deserve it after 2 years in this place. Anyway not ungrateful we had somewhere to live, but I want something to feel like home - a sancutary that fits us.
By the way, most of you know my feelings about this election, all I can say is YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE welcome home to our soldiers, hopefully we have a better chance at a peaceful life in Australia now. Maybe someone who can see past the next election in their planning, some international "bridge building" and a dam or two for the future, some world class education and health care would help!! Good on you Australia let's hope we have a government we can be proud of for a change! Now I might start feeling like being an Australian again.
This has been an unpaid political comment - hahahahaha.
