We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

its a long weekend here in Singapore with the new year clashing with hari raya, so we are off work till tomorrow! today's the last day of this long weekend though... so a little sad about it. fell asleep on the couch last night at 9pm and woke up at 1am. started to upload the pictures from our wedding on the foto developing website, and it took so long. partly because of the taiwanese earthquake that caused our internet connections to be so slow. the other reason was, the photos were taken professionally, hence they were really big files. and i didn't want to risk have pixelated pictures, so was resistant to sizing them prior to uploading. Ended up watching TV at 5am in the morning, cos by then i was just not in the mood for sleep. The serial on channel 55 was - jin zhi yu nie - about the "back palace" affairs. there were so many beautiful but scary women hungering for power, fighting and scheming against one another. gosh, such an interesting show, can't wait for sis to finish with it so i can watch it too. bet it'll even be better in cantonese, but no such luxury here.

anyway, by the time the show was done, i was still waiting for the last batch of photos to be uploaded and printed. a total of 250+prints! thank goodness i bought a package for the prints. now comes the next question - where am i going to store these copies? buy another nice photo album? surfing umbra now, hopefully i won't need to spend so much on the album. just want a slip in album for convenience and storage.

here's the link to some photos online:

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...

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 ...

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...
