Singapore: "Millionaire Nextdoor"; Szeyao

Auntie Y.S. took us to eat breakfast just a few blocks from the condominium. We ate Malaysian food at a restaurant and then ordered ice kacang for dessert at a hawker center nextdoor.

I started reading "The Millionaire Nextdoor". The book is a light read that describes lessons learned from a survey of self-made millionaires. The main point so far seems to be "live below your means."

Auntie Y.S.'s condominium complex has good-quality exercise machines and a well-kept swimming pool. Daddy and Jay and I ran on the treadmill and elliptical machines and then relaxed in the pool.

Szeyao, one of my best friends from Stanford, visited me in the evening. I saw him a couple years ago just after he finished his military service. Now he's been working in the Ministry of Defense for a couple years. He writes foreign policy articles about stuff like who's who in India politics and whether Singapore should train its troops in Taiwan.

A bunch of us (Tansy, Sook Yin, Mimi, Auntie Y.S., Mommy, Jay, and I) took a walk along the canal that runs through Singapore.

Jay and I slept in the living room under the fan, again, but this time we got attacked by mosquitos. We'll sleep in our parents' air-conditioned room tomorrow night.
