Getting Early To Work

this is a day when i hv to be at the office by 5.45am, so i got up at 5.05am after pressing the alarm off once (i'm so proud of myself here...) and went for a shower. didn't realise the water was too cold till midway thru and now i hv a backache. ah well...

had breakfast with fren at macs after "morning duty" and shopping for facial cleanser (bought one half off!! good deal!!) and tried to get things done, despite numerous disruptions forcing me to give up promptly at 1pm when the whole gang went for lunch at sakae. i had my protein fix of maguro natoo (jap fermented beans with raw tuna, yummy!!)

subsequently wanted to visit the dentist but dentist didn't like me much and kicked my ass out of the clinic (what ethics are they teaching the dentists nowadays?). so went to auntie looking perfect beauty for a facial. boy, the massage is quite good. shoulders relaxed a bit and nose is very red... she kept telling me this was to soothe and calm skin, that was to cool and soothe skin... blah blah... well, my skin really needed soothing because of the very thorough extraction she did. wah lau... pain until i nearly sobbed. then she trimmed and neatened my brows and said i should tatoo them or put some brandy but methinks brandy belongs in soups thank you very much.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
