Tuesday

Yesterday: Went for a nip and tuck! Nope, i mean trim and cut! or rather, colour and trim! Heh... sat through a gruelling 3.5 hours at Randy's. Neck felt rather sore after all the tugging to disentangle my hair! After so many years of dyeing my hair, 9 years if i'm not mistaken, the quality of my hair is deteriorating exponentially with time. With age, i guess my hair can no longer withstand the chemicals i pump it with every few months. And with my laziness at hair treatments, etc, i'm surprised that i still have hair, and they are not white. This sabbatical should give my hair some breathing room for i'm certain without Randy around, i'll be causing less damage to my hair, unless the UV rays get to them first. Hehe..

Yesterday was an important day for some of my ex-colleagues too. Tendering resignations together and serving notice periods together, this is what i call kinship, bonding and unity. If there's anything positive this organisation left us with, it's the friends we make while bitching about the idiotic people and work that make our time there more worthwhile. Congrats gals for getting new jobs! Hopefully you'll find more exciting and meaningful work there. It's time to soar!

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 ...
