Skype reminder

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Hi all,

Well, I leave for Jinan this evening. I’m mostly packed and am trying to think of things I shouldn’t forget.

On the way home, God willing, I’ll be meeting up with my friend Peter and going to a few cities in China, as well as Singapore.

Don’t forget you can still contact me on Skype while I’m away. My login is jamesrlforsyth. If you’re a friend from Australia or around the world, you’re welcome to contact me for a chat. If you are from China and are reading this, remember that my default Skype language is actually Chinese. So if you’re from China, and I don’t know you and you contact me in English then it will be a very short conversation (or language lesson!)

Yes. I’m already homesick, and I haven’t even left yet.

Roti prata

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Here’s Asher having some roti prata here in Singapore. He now eats the curry that comes with it as well!

Of course I’ve just noticed the photo is too big for the page. I’ll have to sort out my image resizing on our return to Melbourne.

Singapore again

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

Well, we’re back in Singapore again before heading off to Japan.

Asher has a bit of a rash and lack of appetite, and vomited in the car on the way from the airport. We took him to the doctor this morning who said it’s nothing serious. We really hope he’s fully recovered before our trip to Japan in just under a week now.

Bishan, where we are staying in Singapore, has a new library.

This morning we got a small MP3 player for $18 (Singapore Dollars - roughly the same as AUD). From Cash Converters! Seems to work well, of course it’s second hand. No headphones, but as I type I’m able to play it through the computer here.

We missed Church on Sunday because we got in too late on Saturday night, not to mention Asher’s ailment/s as described above. We have a Church here in Singapore we really enjoy going to. They are Reformed Baptists, like us. Hopefully we’ll make it there soon.
