Finally met Mark and his wife, Beth and it was definitely Bond @ First Sight :P We dined at the Green House over at The Ritz Carlton and we were happy to note that Beth enjoyed some of the local dishes and had a go at the sushi as well.
It was amazing to note that at such a short span of time spent together over dinner, so much were shared and lots to laughed about and it was a shame that Beth has to leave for home on Sunday morning while Mark stays behind to finish his project here :( We were glad to discover new friendship and will continue to stay in touch as Aunty Bennett used to tell us, "It is not goodbye for now, but see you soon."
Look at what I've bought for Mark & Beth :-
Stress Balls for Mark
Chinese Tea Set & Jasmine Tea
While waiting at the lobby for Dar to pick up us, we saw alot of bodyguards and a while later, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was walking beside the Saudi Arabia Prince I guessed and the situation was tensed. I saw Madam Yu-Foo Yee Shoon too but she was busy with so many diplomats I did not approach her to say hi. Will drop her an email instead.
This is the first trip outside the United States for Beth and we certainly hope she will enjoy the rest of her holidays here in Singapore - till we meet again Beth - Cheers!
