My hubby Mike and I arrived in Singapore in March with just two suitcases of clothes, a laptop, some cash, and no idea what this place was all about. We would have felt so lost had it not been for the other Mike — Mike Foster. He had been in the country a year earlier [...]

Guilty Pleasures
“Book ‘er, Dan-o!” That’s Jack-Lord-speak from Hawaii Five-O. Probably the first of my guilty pleasures since I started watching TV. He’d have cuffed me as I plead guilty for loving:
1. ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” & “Mama Mia”

4. Fifth Dimension’s “If I Could [...]

Mike Like iLike
My hubby Mike recently discovered iLike and he doesn’t just like it, he’s totally smitten. He’s organized his iTunes, added tons of music to his own library (one in the office, one at home) and to top it all, he’s made more “friends” in one day on iLike than he has in the past 2 [...]
