Weekdays

Usually weekdays are pretty boring here, but this week we were a little more adventurous and went out on a mid-week date.  Andy had a coworker who was accompanying a local cellist on the piano in a free mini-concert in the lobby of the Esplanade.

We headed out to one of out favorite spots for chicken rice - Tiong Bahru Market.  Here's my favorite stall:

I swear they have the best chicken rice! It's so good...especially with the hot sauce.

Our new found favorite drink - Ginger beer.  It's like ginger ale, but with a stronger ginger flavor...so good!  I wish they sold this in the states.

Afterwards, we caught the subway and headed over to the Esplanade.  Singaporeans say this building is modeled after a giant durian...you know those smelly fruits.  It does kind of look like one, but at least it doesn't smell like one.

We got to hear Andy's coworker and the cellist perform a few songs - I really enjoyed it.  Forgot how much I enjoy listening to classical music.  The cello is my favorite stringed instrument.  I love how soothing the rich deep sounds are.

After that, we made our way home - not before walking by the Hershey's store and picking up some Twizzlers on sale!  Score of the day :-) It's been awhile since I've had some Twizzlers. It's amazing how the smallest things can bring comfort to you when you miss home.

In other news, today's our 5th wedding anniversary!  I decided to give myself a migraine as an anniversary present....so I had a rough start to the day.  But, I'm feeling better now and we're off to try a French restaurant to celebrate!
