I'm Okay, You're Okay
Sorry for the unprecedented dropped-off-the-face-of-the-blogosphere moment I had this past week. The last few days in the U.S. were a real whirlwind of activity (including a small panic attack when I realized just before departing that I could only bring two suitcases on the airplane, not three as I'd packed. Which meant a lot of repacking and the mailing of one massive box at the post office to get all my vintage back with me. Yikes.)
Plus, I didn't even have a Thursday this week – I left Newark at 11pm Wednesday and arrived back here at 6am Friday (it's the world's longest direct flight, and really actually very nice), where I proceeded to sleep soundly for approximately 24 hours. I was that tired. Now, I'm just catching up with life and unpacking and visiting with our lovely guests, Judy and Carl, who are allowing us to do all the fun tourist-y things around the city that we never get to do, like drink very fruity Singapore Slings at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel.
My triumphant return to the blogosphere (not to mention the e-mails I owe many of you) will be delayed a few more days so I can enjoy being back in the city: Today, we're going to explore many of the exhibits from the Singapore Bienniale, which runs until November 12. We're starting with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusuma's Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees installation along Orchard Road. So. Cool!
Of course, the art walk will have to wait a few more hours, as it's currently 4am Singapore time. Did I mention I went to bed last night at 5pm? I slept until about 2am and am now completely wide awake. Ah, jet lag, my old nemesis. I'll beat you yet.

This looks like advanced Christmas lightup.
Sometimes you need the moments to fall off the face of the blog world, it keeps you sane and your mind moving in the real world.
I did a similar thing this weekend as my friend was visiting from Detroit. It was refreshing and as it turns out nothing has changed, it will always be there to comfort you.
Cheerio and many cudos on your great travels!
I don't like Newark airport at all. Haven't had ANY luck taking the SIA flight out of there. I mean the flight's great but the airport itself and any domestic airlines taking me there just BLOW.
So it's out of LAX I go next time.
Either way, can't wait to see what you got here in the US and to see touristy pictures of what you and your friends are doing in Singapore!
Wow i just discovered this blog -- it's amazing to find so many Singapore-based fashion blogs. I have my own, called The College Wardrobe. It's great to see your Singapore shopping guide and pictures of Orchard and Haji Lane, it makes me miss home so much (i'm currently studying in Chicago.)
By the way, there are more cute little boutiques popping up in Holland Village. I think you mentioned Anthro, but there's another one called Antipodean and there's also a new Aesop boutique which has fantastic beauty products from the Australian line.
And yeah people gasp when i tell them that my flight to New York was 18 hours long, but it was surprisingly comfortable! Never really had a problem with Newark though, I think it's much better than JFK at any rate!
Anyone know when Bluefly is doing their next sweepstakes? I see that LuxCouture has a sweepstakes for a Giorgio Brato handbag at http://www.luxcouture.com/sweepstakes/
Any other good sweepstakes out there? It helps with the holiday shopping list, so figured I’d start some postings on it so we can share info (sure we’re competing against each other but hey, we all improve chances of winning something when we know about them).
I think they've taken down the Yayoi's dotty fabrics, and left only the polka dots balls. Good to have you back, ms. spinach.
Thanks for this info (and the shopping guide of course!) on Singapore. I'll be visiting next weekend so it's a lot of help.
