In the center of the CBD.
Brad had been in Singapore for 4 days now, and we have been busy touring. We have done a walking tour of Boat Quay and the Colonial District, including a round on the Singapore Flyer. We did the "Hippo" bus tour, and even played golf Friday. Brad is in Indonesia today, playing golf with Stan, and tomorrow we fly out to Cambodia for 4 days! Keep watching the blog for more info....

King of the Jungle



While we were at Steve and Jenny's we went to the Semenggoh Wildlife Center which is one of the few remaining places in the WORLD where you can see Orangutans in the wild. The big guy on the right here is Ritchie, the undisputed "King of the Jungle". It is hard to tell how massive he is, but believe me, that is a big zoom I used to capture this pic! No way do you get close to him. There was a momma and baby who were eating nearby, but the young males kept a healthy distance away. As a matter of fact, once when they got too rowdy, he turned and gave them a look that shut them up fast! Just like getting called down by any authority figure...even all the people watching hushed up!

Borneo...pt one.








Our first night in Borneo, Jenny and Steve brought out the "tuok", a local rice wine. Jenny's mom makes an especially smooth, deadly version! Anyway, as you can see, we carried on the tradition started by the previous visitors (you know who you are!) and drank shots of Tuok on the back porch. Note Stan was confused and thought he was drinking "three-ok".

Belated Happy B'day

A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SIS-IN-LAW KATHY! SORRY ITS LATE, LAH! CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR VISIT IN APRIL!!!
