Poker

Hao-e and i just came back from a night of poker at kieran's place, southhampton. his house backed out into riddles bay, and they own a little boat for fishing, or so he says. before getting to the house, you've got to drive through a windy narrow lane. the ride was made all the more thrilling with kieran basically driving without a care of the world, or our safety and hearts. haha. suppose he's just so used to it already.

unlike what you guys think, there wasn't $ involved. the half of the table that dropped out first get to do 50 push ups. that's all. i was the 3rd dropout. out of 8. so i did 25 crunches and hao-e did 25 push ups for me. heh.. teamwork mah..

the rest of the group was pretty nice. nicole (bermudian) made brownies, joel and hanna (canadian) brought after-eights, micah and danielle (american) made choc chip cookies and we brought ice-cream (which we bought on the way to kieran's house...). most of us were amateurs, i suppose only joel, hao-e and kieran had some poker skills. the rest of us were just trying to have some fun on this wet saturday.

the oven is actually working, but i need to find some baking trays to try some serous roasting/basting/broiling/baking (yikes! i know my sis will prob be v surprised given my lacklustre dessert baking talent). gotta to find some affordable baking ware next week!!!

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

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 ...
