The play "The Swordfish, then the Concubine" was written by a good friend - Kee Thuan Chye, who is a pretty well known Malaysian playwright. It is a fairly dark comedy, and should be good fun. The last play he did, which I was pretty heavily involved in, and TOTALLY enjoyed being a part of, was "We Could **** You, Mr Birch". This was also performed in Singapore, and I can vouch for the fact that the audience in Singapore loved it! And, if that, plus Chye's talent, is anything to go by, this will be equally good!
So, if anyone is interested, go check out the Sistic web site, or go to the http://www.singaporetheatrefestival.com web site. The play runs from 6th to 10th August, at the Drama Centre Theatre.
The location of the Drama Centre Theatre is:
100 Victoria Street
National Library Building
Level 3 (Drama Centre Theatre)
Singapore 188064

Husband and I are going on 9th August, for the 8pm show.
Hope at least those of you in Singapore who actually read my blog can make it, and I am sure you will enjoy it!

Half the year is gone
... where on earth did the first half of the year disappear to? Time zips by faster than light sometimes :-p
Most exciting thing that has happened to us - we got our Singapore PR approved and are now officially PRs in Singapore. Why oh why can't my own country (Malaysia, in case you didn't know) be as efficient and clear and transparent as Singapore in all matters pertaining to immigration? I am a Malaysian, I want to live in Malaysia with my husband who happens to be British. We have already invested more than RM2million in properties in Malaysia..... BUT, getting a long-term visa for him is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I cant even get him a long-term social visit pass - only 1 year at a time at the most! For a short time, when the 5-year social visit pass was introduced under the Spouse Programme, I had high hopes of getting that for Husband. Went to the immigration office, spoke to the officer in charge of the Spouse Programme, and was told that since I am not a Malaysian GUY applying for his foreign WIFE, I cannot get it!! Talk about CHAUVINISTIC. I am incredibly and horribly disappointed in my own country. What else can I say?
SO, we are in Singapore, we are both working here, and within ONE MONTH OF APPLICATION, we have a 5-year PR status in this country.
We are not free-loaders, we have money to invest, both of us earn decent money and pay our taxes... All we wanted was to be able to live in Malaysia in peace, spend our money there, and just enjoy the country... and we cant do that. So, we are looking to sell 2 out of 3 properties in Malaysia as we have no interest now in living there any more (not unless they can sort out their visa issues for foreign spouses - regardless of gender or race or religion - who want to live there!!)
Anyone want to buy a beautiful 2735 sq ft condo unit in Mont'Kiara, high floor, complete privacy as nobody can see into the unit, fantastic facilities, great management, etc? Keys delivered Feb this year, no issues with it, no renovations done so it is ready for YOU to do what you want to do, and only going at RM750/sq ft (slightly negotiable). Want to find out more? Drop me a comment and we can take it from there.
Till next time....
