Pass it on

It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around, can warm up in its glowing...

Went to Union Sq last night after salsa class with a bunch of fun and beautiful ppl. It was so packed that we couldn't find a spot to dance without stepping on others, bumping into ppl.. All because of Super Mario - the salsa expert who hails from the land first to see sunrise, where rugby players do a menacing war-dance trying to scare their opponents with their foot-stamping, chest-thumping number. Righto! the pl where LOTR was filmed!!! beautiful place. swear i'll return one day, get lost in the mountains, take a hot-air balloon or heli to the mountains, enjoy some wine viewing the sunset, that sorta thing, i think you get what i'm saying.

Anyway, i'm veering off-track here. The point is Mario, from New Zealand (for those who have not gotten it yet...) and his partner, Cassandra Monteiro (i think, not so sure), they were fabulous, fantastic dancers. even tho Mario has a pot-belly!! he really dances well!! wow. they did a short demo as well, which was really really gosh, indescribable. one day, may hao-e and i become as good.. realistically though, i'll be really happy if i could we could be ok social dancers. enjoying each other's company is what's important anyway.

When you return one day...
You will not be lost in the mountains alone. When you take hot-air balloon or heli into the beautiful mountains, there will be someone right beside you, taking in the picturesque scenery. We will be enjoying our wine and toasting each other's company while basking in the sunset, my love...

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
