This is my new boyfriend, the octogenarian Singaporean, Philip. (Philip, as in the television and screwdriver - as he explained)We met Philip in the subway station - he was curious to know where we were from, how we liked Singapore, and when we intended to have babies. Philip claims to stay young by learning languages (he is fluent in 5), and doing yoga and tai chi. He also likes to ballroom dance with his many girlfriends.
He also commented that my shirt was a bit low-cut, and it was making my husband jealous. He then asks if he can hug me. How could I say no?
So here is the first portrait of my new boyfriend.
I should also mention that he asked us to mail him this picture, one copy small, one copy portrait size, and then proceeds to write down his address for us.Ahhh...another example of the wonderful nature of Singaporeans!

You're making me travel-jealous... :)
I hope you guys have an amazing time!
How can you not love Philip?
I wonder if he told you he loved you in all of those five languages he knows ;)
Awesome story. Keep the posts coming.
Phillip is a hottie - and I don't think it is a coincidence that he is named after a screwdriver (if you know what I mean)!
Mike,
Take some pictures when you travel to KL...post them on the site so that I can remember my homeland.
I didn't see an "Aunt Sher" room in the apt; assumming you just didn't have room to post?
Singapore looks alot like T.O.! I think I would like it there!
Enjoy and have fun. Look forward to seeing the adventure as it unfolds!
Its funny you mention that...people we know that have been here say it is like a hotter, cleaner Toronto! It really is...!
