So I've been in Singapore since Thursday night (it's Saturday here), and I'm starting to get over jetlag a little bit, although I had about 2 wide-awake hours in the middle of the night last night. I guess it'll take a bit of time.
My first day here was great. Leda and I went to the this place called "Feetness" and had foot reflexology (um why haven't I done this before?!) for about 40 minutes, which was totally great and I think helped the jetlag. Then we went to the Raffles Hotel and had Singapore Slings, this really fruity, rummy (and yummy) drink for which the place is known I guess. Beautiful hotel too. We then wandered around Little India a bit, and both got henna tattoos - Leda on her ankle and me on my hand/arm. It scabbed up and then kinda flaked off. Now it's brown - pretty neat! It's supposed to last for two weeks, so I'm pondering getting another one before I head back to the States. Love it! After Little India we came back to her apartment and regrouped for a bit, then went to dinner at this great outdoor dinner spot called IndoChine, which is right on the Singapore River. We wandered around afterward and heard interesting live music (suffice to say I'm spoiled in NY), had a few drinks, then headed home. Today we're going to swim a bit in Leda's fabulous pool (see pix of that and other cool stuff here), then head to a yoga class at 6pm, so today should be mellow but nice. Tomorrow morning we swim with pink dolphins and Tuesday night head to Bali!
Meanwhile I'm writing a lot of lyrics these days, which is interesting, and pondering tunes I want to learn, gigs I want to sing. I'm trying to keep all of the big life/what am I doing next stuff on the back burner for at least a few weeks. Still - interesting.

wow sarah, just now catching up with your blogs. can't wait to see more pictures and hear about the rest of your trip. this is like an online television series with you being the lead character. sigh... sadly life in new york isn't as exciting as it's made out to be! think the henna tattoo before you head back is a great idea, perfect for the end of summer.
