Fun & Games

Here's some more stuff we did while Helen was here visiting.

On Friday night we went to see Peti Kayu Ibu (My Mother's Wooden Chest), the play that Rohaizad directed at Marine Parade CC.

It starred Mastura Ahmad - a well-known and amazing Malay actress. The combination of her acting, Rohaizad's directing and a gut-wrenching script made for an incredibly moving evening. So many unexpected twists and turns to the evening, laughter, tears and shock. We ended up going again on Sunday night. Here is Mastura on stage...

We also visited Sentosa resort island, although I prefer to call it by it's original name: Pulau Blakang Mati (Island with Death in the Back, I wonder why they got rid of that name?)

While there, we became the southern-most people of all the billions and billions of Asians. So there!

Yesterday we had our final farewell breakfast at Tekka Market. They are closing tomorrow for renovations which will probally take years and years to complete. Boo hoo.

We also went out to the movies to see Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanimo Bay. That movie was so wrong ... and yet it was so right.

Anyways, we were at the Cathay Movie Theater. Talk about bringing advertising to the extreme, they show movie trailers on the hand dryers in the restrooms!

This morning Helen left and returned to Pohnpei. If you can hear us, WE MISS YOU, HELEN!!!
