The New House

     Well we finally got out of our cramped crappy row-house and moved into a beautiful place with a garden and big yard.  We face a rubber tree plantation and wake up to the sound of birds every morning.  It's paradise!  We kicked off our first weekend with a proper American cheese burger barbecue.  Needless to say with Kelly's culinary skills it was a delicious success.  Here are a few photos from the night and we'll add more shots of the house soon.  All of you that have wanted to come visit but haven't found a good reason, you have an excellent spare bedroom now so come on over.

Painful Moment

We were at the weekend market (see Jamie's blog for some nice pictures). It was evening time around 6:30 p.m.. The sun had just set and everyone was jubilant. There were people buying orchids, fake Levis, weird lawn ornaments, along with more exotic items like fried insects. Kelly and I happened to be doing some t-shirt browsing when a surprisingly horrible thing happened. I know some of you may not believe what happened next but I promise you I could not create such an event with my dwarfed imagination. Over the dusty loudspeakers, placed throughout the market to play music for the masses, came Billy Ray's country voice singing about his achy breaky heart! Ughhhh. I don't know if it ruined anyone else's night like it did mine.  I looked around and was amazed to see that most people were actually going about their shopping as if nothing had happened! 

What is this world coming to you ask?  I don't know... I just don't know.
