Rosedon Hotel

the much awaited pictures are finally ready. silly me forgot that the almighty laptop can take SD cards so all that fretting about the wires arriving with the shipment was all for nothing... heh...=> So here they are! First up, our temporary accommodation for the first month or so - Rosedon. It is a small, comfortable hotel with a team of really warm staff. and most importantly, they provide wireless internet connection so that wiki, hotmail, blogger and google (my current 4 best friends) can be by my side during the day.

We stay in this 2-storey building which wraps around the little heated pool.


This tall building over there is where the kitchen, office, tv room etc are situated.

Our room is behind the thick ferns about a third from the left of the picture.

So this is rosedon. Breakfast is usually toast with waffles/pancakes/sunny-side-ups/scrambled eggs with bacon. Bacon is a staple here. (Not my cup of tea... but apparently bacon isn't pork according to hao-e so he's pretty happy to finish my share every morning.)

its quite cosy here. they bring breakfast to wherever you are in these large heavy trays laden with toast, bacon and eggs. a pity it's not a buffet breakfast tho, or else my lunch would have been easily settled as well. haha...

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

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 ...

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.
