We found an apartment!!

Hao-e and i posted an ad on e-moo on Friday (advertising ourselves, how great tenants we would be etc.) And the response was indeed very good!! We got several calls and emails and finally settled on viewing 2 on Saturday (the very next day) whilst doing our laundry in between the appointments.

The first appointment was at 10am and the apartment was so close by, but we missed the 9.45am No. 1 bus. (the next bus was half an hour later.) So we trudged along South Road after getting off at the Botanical Gardens in Paget, crossing the parish border to Kent Ave in Devonshire and found the wine-coloured house. It was really nice and spacious. And the beach was 20 paces away! We couldn't find any fault with it other than the fact that we would not have the privacy since it was a house-share apartment and the supermarket was not too close by.

After yakking with the first guy for a full hour, we roasted in the sun and took a bus back to town. Off to quickie lickie laundramat to do our laundry. So many washers but not enough working dryers. Sigh. Took slightly more than 2 hours to finish the laundry. Thank God i sorted out the colours vs the whites so that shaved off 5 mins. And we seemed to have timed it perfectly cos we had lunch at bermy cuisine while waiting for our clothes. ;)

So off we went to another home in Devonshire at 2pm. This time we got lost cos i forgot the directions and we didn't have a map handy. =P It was torture lugging our clothes around all day and walking so much in my wedges. Feet were screaming by the time we got to the house. It was another apartment without much problems. Nice lawn and lindo's supermarket was like 4 mins walk away. => ooh... It was a nice-sized apartment and landlord said he would be adding new appliances eg stove, refrigerator, air-conditioner, etc. Sounded great.

We were undecided. So we prayed and asked God which apartment was better for us. Then we tossed a dollar and went for the second apartment. We paid our deposit yesterday afternoon just before going to mass and now we have a home from June!! And the address is so cute! 1 Morning Glory Drive.

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...

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.
