Today, after shaving our tongues, we went with our friend Steve and the woman he's been seeing to check out apartments by where she lives, in Seletar. It's a former British Royal Air Force base, and is unusual for Singapore in that there are actual wide open spaces and surprisingly cheap rents. The down side is that there's no good public transport from there -- you'd pretty much have to have a car, unless you'd rather bike to the front gate, catch a bus to the MRT (subway), and then take that into town. It would probably take well over an hour. Cars here are very expensive to own, insure, maintain, and keep filled with gas.

Afterwards we tooled around and went shopping some more on Orchard Road. I bought an electric razor and Marjorie got a hair dryer. We also bought some groceries and cooked cashew chicken for everyone back at Steve's place. Tomorrow we hit the travel agent and book our trip to Hanoi, and hopefully look at some more apartments and such. I'm really having a heckuva time just putzing around, and all the food we've had so far has been great.
