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.)

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...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
