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!

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 ...
