Hao-e's good deed and soccer match

This morning, as with all sunday mornings, we had our bacon and eggs and headed off to st theresa's for mass. hao-e was hand-picked by the old-black-lady-at-entrance a.k.a. "the warden" to collect $$ from the congregation. (ps: last week hao-e was also picked by said old black lady to send up the bread and wine to the altar, but he was passed over the last second cos said old black lady picked too many ppl to help. => ) he was so excited! kept asking me when he should leave the pew. (me thinks you should pay more attention to the mass proceedings, then you wouldn't need to ask me?!?! anyways, i have never done such "duty" before, so how should i know when?) anyway, so he bumbled along in his polo-berms-berkies combination and did his part for this week's mass quite nicely. Nothing broken and no one hurt. So proud of you! father yim and your godpa would have been proud!

Then we made our way to robin hood for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to see chelsea vs arsenal on the many many tv screens, (robin hood is a sports bar or what we would call a "pub" in UK). And the ppl there were loud. most were supporting arsenal though. it was an exciting game with an outcome we didn't really like but was half expecting given the sending off in the first half. chelsea drew 1-1 with arsenal and gave away the EPL title to man u as a result. bah of all teams! (i know, i know, a couple of my frens from IC who are fervent/crazed/out-of-their-minds man u fans would probably kill me/sever all ties after reading this, but i still have to make my allegiance clear. our family i.e. hao-e, chewy chelsea lim and i are chelsea fans, no matter how unpopular that would render us in the eyes of society and the poor ppl who keep supporting the teams that keep on losing to chelsea. HAR! TAKE THAT!)

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...
