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...

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...

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...

Amazon Prime Now - Experience So Far

I use Amazon on a regular basis to bring in my thermacare belts for my lower back.  As an avid online shopper, I buy a lot stuff online amazon, qoo10, etc.  Imagine my excitement when Amazon decided to open a distribution centre locally?  No more shipping to a PO box in US!  No more worrying about buying over US$125 to get free shipping to Singapore! Wow! And holy smokes, 2-hour deliveries! I just had to try it out. So I downloaded the app, (yes, you heard right, you can't order using the regular amazon website on your pc/laptop.  You have to use the prime now app, not even the regular amazon app...) and browsed through the range.  Hmm... that's sort of disappointing... I mean it's nice to have groceries delivered in 2 hours, especially if you decide on the spur of the moment to have a party at home or something, but the products available were certainly limited. I have since ordered from amazon prime now 3 times in the last week. Their deliveries come ...
