The Wedding

We had a long day yesterday culminating in Elton and Jucintha's wedding Celebration at the Ritz. We managed to see a bit of the other side of Singapore - a bit more gritty and non tourist - some of the culture that makes Singapore what it - the Indian and
Chinese influence. I think Ella has finally got used to seeing lots of dead things and animal bits hanging in windows. Strangely Christina declined Pigs Organ Soup - and I didn't have any because I play the piano.....

(Chaz) The wedding blessing last night was prettey amazing and thankfully the groom
did get there, after being stuck in Melbourne when the airport computer system
crashed. It was held at the Ritz Carlton, a six star hotel - as the local kept telling us. Amazing hotel with incredible Christmas decorations. There was a huge mountain with a train track and houses, all of frosting, gingerbread, etc, that you could break bits off to eat - we didn't! Everyone was with in traditional Indian dress and I am so glad that I managed to buy a Punjabi suit to wear. The bride's mother was so amazed that I would 'honour' them in such a way - and
I thought it was fun! The food was interesting, all traditional Northern Indian. Ella was in narn bread heaven. The Christmas lights on the way back to the railway station were amazing.
It poured yesterday and the monsoon canels were full of brown water in no time.
It is easy to see why then have them. Of course I didn't take an umbrella, but at least you dry out quickly. With the rain, thankfully the humidity and temperatures were lower. We went to Sin Lin Square, a six story electronics department store - David heaven.
Singapore is an amazing place, but it does remind us that we really do live in
paradise.




Singapore seems to be in a constant state of construction

Oh what to buy......
