November.

We had a pretty busy November. This was the blog post I had started and then deleted by accident. Here's the 2nd attempt.

We spent a Saturday getting quite a few plants for our balcony. I love these orchids. I guess orchids can be hard to maintain, but in Singapore's tropical climate you really don't have to do much. I also love our mint and basil plants, it's really nice having fresh herbs.

Since we don't have seasons here, time really can slip away. I knew it was the start of a new season when Starbucks came out with new cups. We went to Starbucks a lot. 

Wine Fiesta! This was so fun, as it is every year. You pay $20 for all the wine tastings you can handle. Hundreds of wines from around the world are represented. I think I tried over 20 wines. You get a little "passport" where you can mark your favorite ones and then purchase them when you want. Apparently I loved every wine except the chocolate wine. Only walked away with large bottle of Rose. Only because I normally hate rose and this one was decent. 

Restaurant Week! I love love that Singapore has this! Lots of restaurants participate in this. It's a chance for them to showcase their best dishes for a cheap price. There's a set menu and you have to make reservations, but the food is amazing. We tried 4 new fancy restaurants and went to a few favorites and this was one of my favorites desserts from one of my favorite French places. 

We went to the Singapore Open. Here's a picture of me and Phil Mickelson, no big deal. It was lots of fun walking around and watching all these guys I've seen on tv.

 This was so cute. Rory Mcilroy and his girlfriend, Caroline, one of the top tennis players in the world, had a cute little moment in between swings.

Adam Scott's butt. 

Great day out with friends. Loved that cold beer was served all over the course. Also, the winner, Mateo Manassero, a cute little Italian guy, gave me a nice wink, smile and nod right before he teed off much to Owen's disgust.

Last year we decided to introduce a few of our friends to Thanksgiving which you can read about HERE.  Since it was such a hit, we got a few requests for a repeat. This year was a bit different with our first baby guest. Pippa made her debut and had a great time. Next year, she'll be enjoying the pumpkin pie and we will have quite a few more babies for her to play with.
