Little Red Dot

I was having a discussion with CF about international business etiquette this morning, how some of our colleagues seem to lack.

My interest was triggered and I went to google it to learn more about this understated subject. Finding this website, I clicked on Asia intending to learn more about Singapore - my home country. And....what?! It's not on the world map yet????? Is the website outdated? Or simply, it is recognized that Singapore has no culture of its own at all? :P

Monopoly-Singapore Edition

We got this classic board game for Becks' 7th birthday and had our debut play on Saturday sans Travis.

M and I realised we have completely forgotten the rules of the game that it's not as straight-forward. No wonder it is recommended for those above 8 years old...maybe even older! But Becks was quite psyched already, asking when after her exams she could play again.

SSDD* lah...
