Much Ado About Nothing

Saturday!
We walked chewy in the morning and did some laundry. after dat, just basically didn't do anything and slept. sleepy weekend it was!! woke up to do some facial (silk whitia) that was quite good, and went to church for our rite of sending off... reminds me of a funeral, but it was basically something for the congregation to see that the RCIA and RCIY produced 52 catechumens who are ready for baptism this easter. Yes! we are getting baptised into the catholic church this Easter! ain't that exciting? Which reminds me, i need to do some shopping soon, need a white dress for the grand occasion. From thence i shall have a new name in a new life. "NATALIE" is a very beautiful dancer that i knew and admired from school days. I don't think she's in SDT anymore. but she had perfectly arched feet. another dancer and very good friend of mine has Natalie as her confirmation name as well. So i've chosen Natalie, which means "born during christmas" as my baptism name, as it is through HIM that i am reborn.

"MATTHEW" is my baybay's new name and i think it's perfect for him, it means "Gift from the Lord", and he's really God's gift to me!

Sunday!
Today's a lazy sunday on a very nuah weekend. Spent the morning having breakfast, walking Chewy around Bedok Central, looking for her food (but not locating any.. and getting a mini sermon from the shop assistant on having chewy on one type of food for too long, i mean, she's only 5 mths old, and she's been on this food for like 2 mths?? anyway, he's a funny man that was pretty insistent, so we left the building asap), showering chewy, put up the clothes to dry on bamboo poles, and doing some ironing. wow! that was a long list, let me count... 6 things accomplished (including breakfast) all by 2pm too!! so perhaps it's not such a lazy day for me...

Went to bed after watching some afternoon tv, and had some fun with H-T, afterwhich i'm now bathed and beautiful and waiting for my beloved to rise and shine for dinner!

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

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 ...
