I'VE BEEN TO SEE THE KING!

well, not quite.

but i came quite close, as far as singapore politics go.

i spent saturday morning with the president, and the evening with the prime minister.

so for all you voyeurs out there, here's us at the istana...=)


bubba and i at the foyer

we were all waiting for the staff picture, but it didn't come through, so we had to make do with snapping pics of ourselves.

we then raced all the way to the front of the stateroom...


none of us dared to sit down

i think this has to be one of my favorite pics from the istana.

it wasn't until we were strolling out of the stateroom that we were told we weren't supposed to take pictures there...eeks.

and here's the imperial lawn...


basking in the sun, at last!

i was telling bubba of how the lawn alarms would go off if anyone were to step on the carpet grass...a la The Princess Diaries.


if only i lived here...not!

and then our final picture before we had to hop into the scout van...


camera whores are us...

unfortunately, my camera was locked up at the supreme court entrance so i didn't get to take a pic with the PM.

maybe next year then. =)
