The GSS - One Day Only

Well, we've been back in Singapore for a mere 3 hours and Kim and Lucinda are out shopping.  After a week on a beautiful tropical island with absolutely no shops, the girls were almost tripping over in their haste to leave Rohan and I to put the kids to bed and get down to Orchard Rd.  Being July, the Great Singapore Sale (or GSS - Singaporeans love acronyms) is still on which provides shoppers with even more ways to justify their purchases to their husbands. "It was 20% off!" 

Speaking of beautiful tropical islands, we've had a great relaxing time at Sea Gypsy Resort on Sibu Island in Malaysia.  Sleeping in shacks overlooking a sandy beach ringed by palm trees.  Sending the kids off to Kids Club each morning so we could read in peace. Snorkelling over coral among schools of fish. Jetty Jumping.  Fishing.  Scuba diving.  Playing lots of board games.  Turning the phone off for a whole week.  We had a wonderful time.  A fuller account and more photos to come soon...
