Singapore - Language

Trying to Maintain
While in Paris I picked up French by osmosis.  I never got a formal introduction to the language other than a year in seventh grade.  Sitting in meetings all day long listening to French in a business context will only get you so far.  So, here in Singapore, I'm trying to fill in the gaps.  I'm taking a French class once a week on Monday nights for three hours.

Haze Amplified
The haze has subdued somewhat, though there is still enough to enhance the sunrises.

Sumatran Forest Fires to Blame
Just when my basil sprouts the haze appears.  Murphy's law.  Visibility is low but it's not at an unhealthy level yet.  The sun was out there this morning as I watched the Giants lose to the Cowboys but it could barely be seen.

Growing
I'm ashamed to admit that I've done nothing much to the roof as far as plants go.  However, with a nudge from the girlfriend, we bought some pots and soil and planted a few seeds of Basil on Saturday afternoon.  We bought the seeds in Syracuse during our summer sojourn.
