it's June already?!

Time flies, it's been almost 2 months since we'd arrived on the island. which means that i have but 10 months left on my countdown clock. stressed. tick tick tick, as if i'm on death roll waiting for the final knell to sound.

We just got our keys to our apartment. the appliances are new but the general feeling of the place is a bit dark. prob due to the dark wood and mostly brown furnishing. looks a tad bit drab. hopefully we can jazz it up with our little touches.

our shipment has not arrived yet. despite being at sea for almost 3 months now. i think our things would have turned moldy by now. or maybe they've dropped into the ocean during the storm, and no one has bothered to find out and inform us about the loss. i'm getting desperate. we are supposed to move out the current place by sunday. and if the shipment is not here, and i dun suppose they will be coming this week, so i'm going to be left hanging without pots and pans, cutlery, dishes and cups. i think our last resort would be to purchase these things first, then try to sell them off later on when the shipment arrives.

our car insurance is still hanging. we are supposed to get some savings off our car insurance because hao-e had bought some with allstate in california. but stupid allstate hasn't faxed over the proof of that yet, so we can't get insurance, and hence cannot drive the car.

btw, our car needs a name. its a dark green hatchback daihatsu charade. very normal looking. but i insist it should have a proper name. any bright ideas pls put it in the little black/grey boxes on the left.

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.
