Comedy Night... Blake the hit of the show...

...


Our sweet friend Geoffrey (pictured below) invited us to a comedy show last weekend.... we are always up for a good laugh and some how I have been known to get picked on.... once bc I was wearing big earrings, another time I yelled when they asked if there were some Texans and the other bc I was on the front row... well when we showed up Geoffrey had picked the table at the very front (I mean right below the mic).... so I got a little nervous but it turns out it was not me that the comedian would pick on this time....
It was Blake... the comedian asked him on stage to help with an impersonation of Clint Eastwood...

The show was OK... really not that much laughter until Blake got up there.... the crowd went crazy and I could barely hold the camera... I was crying and laughing... he does a pretty good impersonation...

We miss her already....

Our last night together... we had to take JUJU to the airport around midnight so we decided to have a night out on the town to keep us all awake. We left Pierce at home (which was really sad for all of us as we saw JUJU and Pierce say good-bye). We first stopped at SPRUCE for a lovely dinner... a great contemporary Aussie Restaurant that has a lovely cheese cellar....

After dinner we headed to a comedy show at "Howl at the Moon"... it was one of the best comedy shows we have seen.... hilarious.

After the show we went to the nearest mall (Center Point) and had a Starbucks and listened to some music... there was a little duo band that was singing to us...

We were all very tired... so we headed to the airport to drop JUJU off... I am happy to report that she made it safe and sound... we miss her already.

That night Cena (our babysitter) sms'ed me and said that before Pierce would go to sleep he had to "on the light" in JUJU's room...so sweet... we will keep the light on for you JUJU.

Adult Time and Kid Time... Saturday night was a good one!

We had so much fun with Neville on Friday we had Violet spend the night on Saturday. There was a group of us going to the Melbourne Comedy Festival at Robertson Quay on Saturday night... so Cena came over and watched Pierce and Violet and put them to bed while the parents had a night out.

Jayme and Gillian brought Pierce this table/see saw to play with on the deck and the kids had to get on it ASAP.

After we left the kiddos (in good hands) we made our way to Robertson Quay to meet up with Jennfier & Justin, Toby & Jenn, Gillian & Jayme, and Melanie & Jacob for some good Aussie grub at Boomerangs and then off to show for some good laughs.

Below is a pic of one of the great dishes that was ordered by Jenn... the Lazy Lobster... we also ordered some crocodile, kangaroo and emu... yum yum!

After dinner we headed down the street to the show... we had seats on the front row of the comedy show... we were talking all during dinner who was going to get picked on... I for sure thought it was going to be the prego lady Gillian... but I was wrong....

Melanie likes to take pics as much as I do.. a lady after my own heart... she wrote about this night here on her blog (much better than I am doing for sure)...

Ok so the MC comes out and of course he is the one that starts to pick on late people, some lady in a canary yellow dress and others... and then wants someone to come on stage with him (mind you there was probably 200+ people in the room)... he gets off the stage ask someone right when he gets off and they are shaking their head no, then the next person says no and then he gets to me and you know I can never say no to getting on a stage... so up we go... for alot of laughs... he had to know who my husband was, how long we have been married, the last time we had sex and where I was from... from the answers to those questions everyone got alot of laughs... it was pretty funny...

Not great pics of me but I had to share bc I was laughing so hard the entire time... I thought Blake was going to be embarrassed for us all but he gave me a kiss when I got off stage and said I did good... HE HE HE..... safe....

Here the MC is talking to Blake about something... as I am clapping... must have been funny.

After the show some of us went to Brussel Sprouts to have a drink and dessert... and then us girls had to take a pic with the belly in front of the Robertson Quay sign in the background... can you see it?

We got home with great news from Cena that the kids did great... we let Gillian and Jayme go home and kept Violet with us for the night.

Pierce was the first one up in the morning and he ran to Violets room yelling "where's Violet, where's Violet" and when he found her he had to get in the pack n play with her.

We spent the rest of the morning playing, eating, talking on skype with family and then we headed to church were we meet up with Gillian and Jayme for the drop off....

We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again... and again... we just love all the friends we are making here and the great things there are to do in Singapore... you can never get bored that is for sure.

Phrase of the Night!

On Friday night we went to a comedy club with our friends Rita and Geoffrey. It was alot of fun but the purpose of this email to tell you that most people I have met here have no idea what A&M University is or where it is... so I had a chance to show my Aggie pride. Here at the comedy show they have a Phrase of the Night that you can put on the board (on the main stage) and all you have to do is give them some money... most of you know I am cheap... but I spent $6 dollars to show my love for A&M.

I did give them $6 but they did not erase the $4 that I beat out... here is how it started:

$2 - I wrote - "Gig'em Aggies"
$4 - She wrote - "I can not believe there is another Texan in the room, Hook'em Horns"
$6 - I wrote - "Gig'em Aggies"

That is all she wrote... I left at midnight and it still said "Gig'em Aggies".
