the only reader of my blog - hao-e - made a comment that i should start blogging about the TVB serials i have recently been watching en masse. Mum has been feeding me 20/30part serials every other week. So i truth, i have really conquered some cantonese dramas of late. i'm a TV junkie. i always knew i was something.

The latest of which is a xuan xuan drama where she's this "xi liang" person "li hua" (i.e. non-Chinese) who endeavours to make peace between the Tang emperor and xi liang by marrying "xue ding shan" who is a Tang person and he hates xi liang. (they supposedly have some yuan fen thingie, predestined to be together, and their union will bring about peace for both countries... blah blah) Hmm... So li hua manages to wiggle her way into getting the emperor to force ding shan to marry her. she endures all the criticisms and unfair treatment at the xue's house. Finally, ding shan falls for her and the 2 live happily ever after. my fav ending.

Before that, was the drama wo de ye man nai nai (in-law wars). also damn funny and entertaining. the guy is so toot, he's positively cute. or the other way around. haha. in-law relationships are never easy to manage (see previous entry), esp when the MIL is a manchurian princess, cousin to the empress, and the DIL was a bandit. haha. But of course the ending is, MIL becomes less critical and demanding, and they live happily (squabbling) ever after. again, my fav ending.

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...

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 ...

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...
