Zheng4 Gu3

What did i do yesterday? Went to the dentist first thing in the morning. she tried to make me do the expensive flouride treatment again. not going to get conned again. so i immediately replied "nothankyou". hehe.... no probs with teeth, so went on a binge for breakfast. subsequently nuahed for half a day before heading west to see the topic of this post - Mr Zheng Gu IN THE RAIN. Pouring down from the heavens... gosh. soaking wet by the time we got there....

Zheng Gu Man is this 40++ year-old singaporean, of chinese descent, who's well-versed with the art of making good twisted ankles and pulled muscles. His real name is of course not Zheng Gu lah, but his shop on jurong town hall has a huge board saying "zheng gu" in chinese. He's amazing. A short 20 min consultation, where he tugged, pressed, massaged, kneaded, and basically caused a lot of pain to me, ended up with me having to pay him $50 for all that ... groan...

Anyway, hopefully Zheng Gu Man has fixed my long-standing back problem. so i can return to more dancing and maybe netball. YIPPEE!!! looking forward to that... $50 is ok i guess if the problem is fixed.

Came back to cook some chicken wings and cabbage for dinner. I'm turning into a full-time housewife! Correction - homemaker. HAHAHAHAHA

BTW, put on 2 medicated plasters to ease the pain and aches... i'm getting old

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

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 ...
