I started off my 36th birthday with a good run. My first outside run in Singapore and it was so much better than running on the treadmill but it is still super steamy outside! I'm glad I know I like running so much because if I didn't already know that I might never run again since I'm so out of shape... I ran to the Botanic Gardens and back. I hope to be able to run farther and farther inside of the Botanic Gardens each week but I have to build up to that.
After several phone calls home, we decided to head out to the pool since it was sunny (it's monsoon season so I've learned that we ought to go to the pool while we see it's sunny or we might lose our chance). We went to Cedele for lunch and birthday cake and then got a few groceries at Cold Storage. Craig took the kids home and I went to Orchard Road to see if I could find Le SportSac for a better-sized purse that will hold a little umbrella. I just got a new purse in Houston but it was intended for living out of a car, not for traveling by subway. I found Le SportSac right away but they didn't have just the right bag. I spent a long time looking and had just about given up to go home when I found something that is the right size, had the right pockets, and is the right price (I saw a LOT of really pricey bags today!!).
We went to the Newton hawker center for dinner tonight. The kids & I had Indian again and Craig had Thai. It was a great day!
Tomorrow I am going to try to sign up the girls for some after-school activities for 2nd semester at SAS. Anna's choices (in order of preference) are: chess, swimming lessons, & yoga. Sarah's choices (in order of preference) are: tae kwon do, swimming lessons, yoga, and junior engineers. Registration starts tomorrow at 10 AM right when I will be taking Sarah to her tile art class on the other side of town. Hopefully I'll be able to get them into one of their top choices after we return from Sarah's art class.
