St Georges Island

St Georges is linked to the main island via the causeway and a bridge. Think it could be the eastern-most end of Bermuda. It took us an hour on the bus to get there. (Although we enjoyed the scenery along the way - golf courses, beautiful ocean views, lush greenery, etc. - very idyllic ride actually.) The town is pretty well contained and the old town hall building is still standing.

But in front of the town hall building, on a side of the small square, there are 2 medieval-looking equipment that looks pretty menacing. well preserved aren't they? But don't worry, i don't think Bermuda uses such primitive methods now. Probably putting convicts on scooters would be more effective.


The rest of the quaint little town looks very much like a quaint little town. I get the feeling the buildings have been there for a long time, and i'll bet they have been there for a long time. BTW, these photos were taken on Easter Sunday, hence the lack of ppl on the streets (they were all inside restaurants enjoying their scrumptious Easter meals... Fact: Hao-e and i were probably the only foreigners who were on the island at that time, cos it was the long Easter weekend and most of the expats, if not all of them, fly off for short holidays during these holidays to regain some sanity... supposedly short holidays are a must cos: a) you'll get bored on the small island; b) you need to stock up on latest fashion/trends/gadgets; c) you need to meet ppl other than those you see day-in-day-out; and d) you'll appreciate the island's charms better when you return.)

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)

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...
