Singapore Terms 4 2011



First, second or third plate of chocolate desserts at the Chocolate Buffet on the 57th floor of Marina Sands where we celebrated Fulori's 21st
 All together again in Singapore


She had a choice of high tea at Raffles or the chocolate bar at Marina Sands. I don't think she was disappointed.

Dinner in Little India

Deepavali markets in Serangoon Road







Ollie came to visit & catch up for a week and we had dinner at Komla Villas

Pomegranates and mangoes in Little India
We went across the road to the temple where they were celebrating the 9 emperors of god festival.

The street was decorated and it was a big deal with floats and a week of rituals and festivities.

Everything was set out in 9s. Daoism has a complicated mythology with multi layered heavens and hells.

9 houses for the 9 emperors

Maybe a few of the emperors - not really sure

The emperors were each transported to the river in one of these.

Saying goodbye to Indra before she headed back to Sri Lanka

One Sunday arvo there was heaps of drumming going with  this daoist ceremony .


This whole shabang was going on in the street outside our condo.

Don & Yati bought their new addition 'Hunter' around for a visit.

Indra teaching me how to make her assam fish curry

...using these fantastic little brinjal (eggplants) they have here.

Frying the brinjal and marinating the fish in curry paste.

Then frying the fish.
