Jet Lag

Have been waking up at 5am the past few mornings and feeling groggy in the later parts of the day. It must be jet lag. Bermuda is afterall 11 hours behind Singapore so i suppose i will need 11 days to get over this... argh... its miserable waking up when it's still dark and having to surf the net cos there's absolutely no way to go back to sleep. and the hunger!! argh!! ate 2 alpen bars this morning at 5.30am cos tummy was growling aloud! yeps, so loud it woke hao-e up! haha.

Last night, we went to La Trattoria - an italian restaurant in washington mall between reid and church street. Ordered Lasagna and immediately regretted it. too meaty and cheesy. should have stuck with something like vongole in white wine sauce. still ate about half the serving (it was huge) as it was a treat. heh...

Seems like there are a couple of jobs available, contrary to expectations. so as long as i'm willing to do some serious learning on the job, i should be able to get one when my dependent visa is approved. hmm... now to hunt down my cv which i am certain is in the hard drive somewhere.

Btw, i finished the korean series "Foxy Lady" just half an hour ago. (well, what did you expect me to do really!?!) so there really isn't any more excuse not to start studying for some accreditation. (except that my sudoku book beckons... tempting)

Tonight, we may go to the club to play some badminton. frankly i'm not into badminton. (i totally suck at the game.) but if it means meeting some nice people then i don't mind paying $$ to just hang out and burn some calories in the process.

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...

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...

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 ...
