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....

Great eastern Women's 10k

October 26th was the Great Eastern Women's 10k. I've just started running again, so though I'm no longer very fast, I'm happy to report that I improved my time from my last 10k. There were 5,559 women in this 10k....1,444 were in the "masters" category. "Masters" is a politically correct term for "Old Chicks". I was 318th in the masters, with a time of 1:05.41.

Barbeque at the Henderson's

John and Jane...our lovely hosts!

Joyce and Martin

Stan and Val

Where's the food???

Grilled fish and ribs, and sausages.....MAN FOOD!!

Jenny and Joyce...yum...grilled asparagus!

Saturday night we all gathered poolside at John and Jane Henderson's condo for a barbeque. What can I say? Good friends, good food...... we are blessed!

Move over "Alamo Draft House"!!!

The "Gold Class Theatre....check it out:

You order the tickets on line, and the seats are assigned to you. When you get to the theatre, your tickets are given to you in a black envelope. Each theatre has only 30 seats.

Each seat is a man-sized recliner, and you get a polar fleece blanket in case the theatre is too cold for you. Tracy perusing the menu...and yes, they do have adult beverages!!

Kicked back and ready to watch the chick flick "Nights in Rodanthe".

The first time Stan and I visited my brother Stan in Austin he took us to this really cool movie theatre called the "Alamo Draft House". It is a regular theatre, but you can order food and adult beverages to enjoy along with the movie. Well, we are from Arkansas, and that was about the coolest thing we had ever seen.....until Singapore's version...the Gold Class Theatre! The only problem we've discovered is when we take people who haven't quite gotten over their jet-lag....the chairs are great for napping!

Pink Ribbon Walk

Tracy and I before the Pink Ribbon Walk. Central Business district and the Singapore River in the background.

I think we had some "hashers" in the crowd!! Husbands getting into the spirit of the "Pink Ribbon Walk".

And we're off!!

Tracy entering a tunnel under the road at the start of the walk.

Crossing the bridge, half-way point.

A steady stream of walkers on the opposite side of the river.

Stan the "support team" cheers us on from inside Brewerkz. Yes, that is a horse racing form in his hands. He studied while we walked!

On October 4th, my friend Tracy and I participated in the Pink Ribbon Walk for breast cancer research. There were over 2,500 women, men and children in the walk. We started at the Raffles landing site on the Singapore River, and walked 5k total all along the river's edge. You can imagine a mile-long line of people in pink shirts caused quite a few comments! It was for a great cause, and we did enjoy a beautiful evening out with our guys afterwards.
