Last photo on my last weekend in Singapore. *sniff* I think the squint says it all. You can devise your own caption...... Posted by Picasa
I think Rose has just cracked a wry witticism here...they always get the best reactions! Posted by Picasa
and here is our group at the Gold Dust Room, in Orchard Towers, Singapore! Posted by Picasa
One of England's Best Couples....Mike and Lin! Posted by Picasa
OK, in the last year I have traveled through the land of Buddha and the land of Shiva, but not until my last night in Singaopre did I get to party at a transvestite cabaret show with Jesus!!! Posted by Picasa
This one is much better! Very nice... Posted by Picasa
After dinner, we all went to the Gold Dust Room. This is a cabaret style show, except the ladies aren't really ladies. It was a really funny show, and we spent the break times between performances hamming it up. In this case, Mike and Jesus. Posted by Picasa
Office mates, work mates, neighbors, and dinner mates.....me and my mate Bill! Posted by Picasa
Mike gave me an enlarged photo from our team sailing event earlier in September. I also have this image posted further down on the blog site, but basically, the yacht had this side off hanging cargo net that was perfect for soaking in.  Posted by Picasa
Bill gave me a beautiful card and Waterboys CD. We shared an office and at any given time during the day, one or the other...sometimes both of us....would start humming a tune, and it would become contageous. We have very similar music tastes....I think there were several occasions we spent humming Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Little Spanish Fly? I know it looks like I am growling, but I am in the middle of speaking here, just to clear that up. Posted by Picasa
The happy couple, Mike and Lin...(boy, I hope I am spelling her name right......) Posted by Picasa
This is one of my favorites!!! Rose and Jesus. Posted by Picasa
Dave, who I think looks a little and acts a lot like John Cleese, is BSing Rose I think.... Posted by Picasa
Me raising a toast? No...just a water refresher...although, the squintiness of my eyes does tell a tale. Posted by Picasa
As is typical in farewell dinners involving gifts (and alcohol), the clowning often begins soon after the speeches. Mike and Lin chucking about an inside goggle joke.... Posted by Picasa
On my last Saturday night in Singapore, I was happy to have a nice meal among friends. From left to right, bottom row: Bill the Brit, me with swim goggles (a departing gift), Dave the Australian, Rose the Singaporean, (top row) Linda and Mike from England, and Jesus from Spain. A wonderfully diverse little dinner party!! Posted by Picasa
Lawrence became my invaluable Right Hand Man at the office, making me look good at every turn (except the one shown in this photo!) This was my last day in the Singapore office, and since it was a Saturday, there was only a small contingency of folks on site. This was a good thing, otherwise I would have gotten all mushy saying goodbyes.  Posted by Picasa
This is an older photo from late September that proves my kitchen was used on occasion. On this night, Frode began cooking before we all left the office. Anita, Bill, and I came in to a nearly complete meal and a few bottles of wine. This was delicious! Posted by Picasa
This is my friend Shirazal, off his normal concierge duty, but I am glad he came by on my last day in Singapore to wish me farewell. Posted by Picasa
Departure from Singapore. This was a sad day, but I was lucky that my friends Andy and Sharizal at Lanson Place were able to stop by for a visit and a farewell! This is Andy, multilingual doorman extraordinaire.  Posted by Picasa

Here is a bigger photo of the Buddha's footprint (more on that below). Posted by Picasa
My numerology fortune by Buddha...I got lucky number 11. Not even sure if this is legible... Posted by Picasa
