Monday

The day before yesterday: Met up with some ex-colleagues at Siglap. Couldn't resist suan-ing the poor guy cos he is really such a good sport and i absolutely love that quality about him. (Yes, I've learnt through the years that not everyone is suan-able and for those who can, i applaud your good humour/temperament.) So we were at Gelare and Jaz suddenly talked about Sunny, and so we called him to join us.

Jaz: Where's Sunny? Should have asked him out.
Me: He should be home by now *checks watch* being a good dad to his daughters. *Frantically dialling Sunny's number*
Rod: Don't tell me he's still in the office?!?!
Me: Hi Sunny, are you still in the office??!?!
Sunny: yeah...
Me: *Roll Eyes thinking "what the hell?"*
Rod: *shakes head* i work such normal hours now! thank God i left!
Me pass phone to Jaz...
Jaz: You want to join us for ice-cream at siglap gelare?
Sunny: Can't lah, need to go home to my girls.
Jaz passes phone back to Me...
Me: It's alright. Sunny?? Are you there? HARLOW!!!
Apparently phone got cut off cos he went into lift... darn...

Apparently, our trusty mobile phone network wasn't so trustworthy that night, so some network glitch caused us to miss each other, cos we left before Sunny turned up at Gelare! (Silly man, should have called me instead of msging mah....) What a pity! On the way home, me was pretty amused by Rodney's attempt at Jay's song "ting ma ma de hua" loosely translated as "listen to your mother", although i still prefer Jay's edgier pieces.

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 ...
