Howdy all! Checking in with a quick recap of our weekend. We didn't do anything particularly exciting, but I promised my family I would keep up with the recaps of regular life here in Singapore :)
We kicked off the weekend with a stroll around the Arab quarter and a leisurely dinner at The Beast, Singapore's resident Southern cuisine establishment. Talk about a strange anomaly.
This past weekend was actually a long weekend due to polling day on Friday, but we both worked from home all day. In Singapore, polling day is a holiday and it's absolutely mandatory for all citizens to vote. The only exceptions are something like if you are in jail or giving birth.
The US should really give everyone the day off of work to vote, or at least if you can prove you voted. Can you imagine all the amazing election parties?! How do we make this happen?
At The Beast you will find a full bourbon bar, chicken and waffles and live music - a recipe for a good ole' fried, American time.
Saturday afternoon Michael was off to a basketball game while I was off tasting a new local cafe for my writing gig - rough life I know.
In local news, we have been battling some serious haze the last few days. The PSI level has reached 250, which is pretty darn bad. We are lucky here in Singapore to typically not have to worry about air pollution, but about this time every year 'the haze' rolls in from neighboring Indonesia due to crop burning, making for a not-so-pleasant couple of weeks.

Sunday the full day was spent brunching and watching rugby with some mates and later relaxing at home with a pizza and some Homeland. (Don't worry we haven't converted to rugby fans, we still spent all Sunday morning, beginning in the early hours, watching Saturday night college football).
All in all it was a fun, social, busy weekend. Now, if only the haze would get better instead of worse, I can exercise outside and open the doors and windows again.
This can't be good for you...
Cheers to a great week everyone. Michael and I both have busy weeks coming up, but we are looking forward to checking out Formula 1 this coming weekend. It should be a good time!
XO,
CD
