Bali















We just returned from a wonderful break in Bali... 4 days of absolute peace and tranquility.... This is actually Ngurah Rai Airport at Denpasar. Beautiful isn't it?

This is our hotel situated in Nusa Dua - Melia Hotel. It is actually quite idyllic.
















Hao-e is as usual trying to act inconspicuous... yah right....



Everyday started with a scrumptious breakfast at El Patio



Then off to busk in the hot sun and sweltering heat. But by the second day, hao-e was lobster-red and suffering from bad bad sunburn. So we went under cover - Gianyar for Shopping then!!


Did you see those interesting things they were selling??? The masks were scary weren't they?? *Naughty grin*

We also went to one of the most sacred places in Bali - Uluwatu temple, perched atop a cliff, it was magnificent just taking in the sunset, the waves clapping onto the cliff walls, the Indian Ocean winds howling in our ears. Kecak Dance was next, it was hilarious the sounds the "choir" made...













All in all, it was a very relaxing trip. I managed to finish my book there - Time Traveller's Wife, fantastic book, watched a couple of great National Geographic shows about the Triumph of Life, swam perhaps 100m in the pool, played some scrabble on the beach, table-tennis, fed some fishes in the ponds, killed several mosquitoes, got bitten by some.... very nice. wished it could last forever. The rest of the photos are posted online at

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...

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.

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
