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....

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

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.
