More pictures of Bermuda

Above: Waterloo House facing the ocean opp Primavera Restaurant. Waterloo House is a quaint hotel with unique room decor and serving some of the best food around town at matching prices of course.


Below: yachts near the ferry terminal. many ppl own boats here. you can go scuba diving, catching lobsters, fishing, or just plain enjoying the sun and sea. bermuda becomes even prettier viewed from the water.


Below: huge cruise ship docked at hamilton. every week, at least 2 cruise ships are docked for a period of 2-3 days at hamilton city itself (sometimes cruises dock at st georges or dockyard as well). this picture shows just how up close and personal the cruise ships get to front street. in the middle is the "bird cage" where the police directs traffic in the morning.

Below: picture of St Theresa's cathedral. we have a bishop in bermuda! this is where we go on sundays to get a weekly dosage of saintliness and to listen to how we are supposed to be living our lives... it gets pretty crowded at the 11.30am mass and we usually sit right at the back. hao-e sometimes gets called up for "duty" (either warden or $$ collection duties) by the really nice black lady at the entrance....

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 ...
