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.

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 ...
