Hamilton City - Part 2

These are some of the highlights on the way to town...

Bacardi - like my favouritest drink ever! - is just 2 steps away from our hotel Rosedon. We walk pass it at least 2x a day. I for one, drool everytime i pass it cos, have i forgotten to mention? I am the greatestest fan of Bacardi Rum OK?!? [I'm sounding drunk already just by blogging about it.] Anyway, Bacardi occupies an architecturally modern building with the double volume ceiling, glass facade and water features. Bermuda actually makes a lot of things with rum e.g. rum cakes. haven't tasted those yet, will describe more once i get a hold of one.




Along Pitts Bay Road (which is where we stay) to town, other than Bacardi, these are the other buildings you'll see. They face the harbour so there are times when you can hear the "horns" of the ships (are they called horns? i'll find out on wiki later.) I half suspect these pink and yellow ones are apartments (highly expensive ones because of their location) but hao-e thinks they are offices. I dun mind working in them i tell you, but don't they just look so sweet and edible? (the white portions look like icing dun they?)



Beside the nice pink and yellow building on Front Street (Pitts Bay Road leads on to Front Street, and its called "Front" Street cos its the street "front"ing the harbour. Get it? i made that up myself haha but dun you think it sounds logical?!) this modenista building looks imposing, and deadly. You see those nice-looking fern-like bushes near the steps? Those have deadly thorns on them. All of them have thorns. "Sha qi hen zhong" ah... And right after this scary building is Bermudiana Road where hao-e's office is situated. His office isn't much to look at from the outside so just imagine a really boring 4 storeyed cream coloured building on the side of a street with boring windows and black lettering spelling out the building's name. Nothing much to look at, so its not going to appear on this page. Heh.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

Some news...

I just learnt over the weekend that the last grand-uncle on my father's side had passed on. We weren't that close when he was alive, but i do recall him being a jolly old chap who was always ready with a smile... as far as grand-uncles go, he's the closest one we had. And of course he lived in malaysia which gave us a perfect excuse for a weekend trip up the causeway, far from the hustle and bustle of maniacal singapore. Another shocking piece of news i heard last week in fact was, me best pal's dad seems to be suffering from dementia. i hope he gets better soon cos i know everyone's worried and imagine the pressure on the family! after hearing that, i've been praying every night that my parents remain healthy and happy, especially during this period when i'm away from home. The 3rd piece of shock i had was that friend X and friend Y have gotten together. both of them are my college mates. BUT friend X was with friend A at that time, and friend Y was w...
