Beginning of a tropical adventure

February 9, 2010

We’re flying out tonight to look for apartments in Singapore!  Good thing I’m coming back in a few weeks because there’s a lot of stuff to bring…

So I’ve been looking through a few sites recommended by a good friend: iproperty.com and propertyguru.com if anyone else is looking for real estate in SE Asia.

Since we’re both going to be working (wish me luck on my job hunt), we’re going to go for it and rent a nicer condo.  Mr. Gadget says we have to get a condo with a pool.  My friend was totally making fun of my Facebook statuses when I lived there because I was always swimming.  It’ll be good to be back in shape (though it’s so hot there you seriously could lose weight just by hanging out outside!)

That means I can wear…
…breezy, summery dresses in fun prints, like this Yumi Kim Love Dress (30% off this week with code yklove)

 $204 here, pre-discount

 

…a cute, colorful bikini (with “hipster” bottoms no less)

 $38/per piece here
…some flat sandals, sigh love these!
…a simple straw hat to protect my pale little face from burning
 $7.99 on sale here

It’ll be a fun week of apartment hunting and shopping!

little luxury list

    1. i stopped over in singapore twice for about 7hrs each and REALLY wanted to take the free tour of the city from the airport but unfortunately, the 7 hrs were from midnight to 7am and the tour wasn’t running then. SO disappointing.

    2. I’m definitely going to look at Shutterfly. Thanks for the tip!

    3. Good luck on condo shopping!!
