over blogging and over working

i'm sorry for flooding this blog. i feel like i've been away for so long that now i'm having a bout of bad verbal diarrhea. i'm bad. i talk only on my blog now. i'm turning into a hermit.

a fren sent over 2 links the other day bout a lady passing away sadly due to overwork (and she's only one year older than hao-e). not wanting to belittle anything, (cos she's apparently very different from me, cos work to me is just a means to get $$ to support my lifestyle. no one will catch me overworking myself, cos i'll be entirely bored to tears if i'm made to do something for more than 8-9 hours a day!) i just think her dedication to her job is really remarkable and something i cannot comprehend at all. i salute her for her commitment to hp and i think her boss must be a real slave-driver and aresehole for making her work such horrible hours (have you read her last blog entry?). again, not trying to belittle her job, i just think if only she had died chartering the direction to stop global warming, or working for peace in the middle east, or even saving the abused and abandoned dogs at the spca, at least that would have been something right? but hp gizmos in new zealand? can't they live without their gadgets and gizmos for a minute? they won't die or anything, will they? what's the hurry mate? enjoy your beautiful lord of the rings scenery!

i hope the news of her departure has spread to the new zealanders, cos i hope it weighs on their conscience to have contributed to the death of a very young person who matter to many of her family and friends and who have to live with her absence now that her life was cut short by their stupid, idiotic demands on emails demanding attention every day.

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.
