Back home for CNY

It's good to be back home for CNY (29 Jan to 13 Feb 2011). Problem is that it's been raining the past 2 days so we're stuck at home. Apart from NEX Shopping Mall (which has a sheltered walkway all the way from our block), going out would mean hauling an umbrella and getting wet - too lazy to do that. Anyway, we're meeting the old CHR gang this evening ... hope the rain stops by then.
... and so we finally arrived at the 6-star St Regis in Tanglin Road. Never been to a 6-star hotel
before, so thanks to Mr Chow, we're here. Decor is nice but doesn't feel any different from the other 4- or 5-star hotels in Singapore. We had dinner at Yan Ting Chinese Restaurant.

Hi Bennet. I came across your blog on cheap spectacles in VN and ended up reading all about your efforts in educating young children in VN. You are an inspiration. And just like you, I am in the education service and I love VN. Congrats on your success.

Thank you, Steve, for your encouraging comment. Do drop me a line if you're visiting HCMC and we can catch up over a cup of Vietnamese coffee. Happy Rabbit Year to you and your family!!
