Last day of the 3-day weekend

Leaving for lunch at jumbo in 45 mins. today's labour day and the day my grandma went into labour to have my dad. so we're gonna celebrate her efforts some 60 over years ago later. haha. (huo4 hai4 bu4 shao3). shall be venturing to settlers' cafe later for a while with the MM ppl from CTK. hope it will be fun.

yesterday, after obedience class, we bought chewy new fencing so she won't be in a cage anymore. but... she tore up the newspapers laid in her pee pan. so kenna big smacking and punishment this morning. bad naughty dog she is. she can't really "down" yet. guess she doesn't understand what we want her to do... will try to practice more with her on the "down" command.

bought tickets for this contemporary dance performance by Nederlands Dans Theatre on 20 Jun. My birthday treat for myself. seemed to have a lot of things planned on that week. which is really bad cos surgery's on 16 jun, and chewy's test is on 18 jun and this dance performance is on 20th!! gosh, i'll be prancing about town with my bloated face i expect. so unglam.

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 ...
