Sammy is sad these days because she's losing her 4 best friends...by this June all 4 will have moved back to the U.S. Her friend Lisel left at Christmas time, her friend Cassie leaves in 1 week, Lydia and Ross leave in June. When I explained to Sammy that all of them were leaving due to the changes in the economy she said, "I hate the economy!" I think that sums it up for all of us.
Here's some fun pictures of Sammy and her friend Cassie. We took her out for a birthday outing one day when Sammy was out of school.
This is what 6th & 7th graders like to do on birthday outings for those of you who are just entering the exciting world of parenting:
First stop was the Coffee Bean for a chocolate ice blended.
Second stop was a couple of hours at Kunokuniya - a Japanese bookstore. The girls each picked out a book and had them half read by the time I came back to pick them up.
Next stop was lunch at Hard Rock Cafe...Mike met us there since it's right next to his office. Wow our burgers tasted divine! We satisfied our craving fix there. Living in Asia is sort of like being pregant in the sense that you're always trying to satisfy your cravings for authentic American food. This is one of the few places in Singapore where you can find a good burger.
Next stop was Mike's office to show Cassie the sharks hanging from the ceilings and the Disney On Ice wallpaper. Cassie thought Sammy's dad had a much cooler job than her dad!
Bye Cassie...Good luck in New Mexico. We miss you already.
