What a first day here in Singapore. WE managed to get about 4-1/2 hours of sleep last night and that was good. Unfortunately, Madeleine was fighting a fever related to her two year old molars the entire day before and was still feverish when she woke up. She also developed a sore on her tongue from the almost constant pacifier sucking on the plane trips so that she refused to drink anything or eat anything but rice which has now led to the inevitable constipation. The girl is a hot mess (thank you Project Runways Christian Soriano)! In fact, one of the times Lee to her into the bathroom on the plane to change her clothes he got her to tell me she was a hot mess when she came out. Too cute. She is out of sorts and jet lagged Ike us and hopefully going to bed early tonight will get us back on track and she will start feeling better.
This morning we met with the realtor and I was able to see our home for the first time. The neighborhood it is in is very nice and residential with no current construction near by. The complex is wonderful with very nice pools and a children's play area. The is home is everything I wanted. Lee did a wonderful job picking it out. They even installed ceiling fans and a dishwasher. The only thing that is a bummer is the furniture we rented was not delivered and since it is a public holiday we won't get it until Monday afternoon. So, Monday will be our first night in our new home.
We went to Ikea and bought a few things like dishes and trash bins. When we got in the taxi and told the driver to take us to our new home he didn't know where it was. OK, this is not good because neither do I! Lee had a good idea of cross streets and how to get there and the driver looked it up on his GPS. He told us as we were driving that the older driver probably won't know where our complex is and can't operate their GPS. I guess it will be adventures in taxi taking!
I can't wait for the furniture to arrive and unpack and get settled!
