Amidst pleads that there aren't enough photos on my blog, i've over-compensated with an avalanche of photos of this past weekend. TAKE THAT!!

hao-e and i went off shopping on saturday morning, trying to walk off the extra calories gained from the dinner at Silk. Was contemplating on getting myself a bag (yes, i hear cries of "don't you already have like a thousand bags?" the answer which i believe all females reading would totally agree with is, "no. never. nuh-ah." ) So whilst being waylaid by bodyshop and the other fashion shops, i did bring hao-e to M&E to have a look at the bag i was eyeing. well, conclusion was, it didn't look as good as i thought it did last wednesday, so thankfully i didn't succumb to my impulses last week or i would have regretted it. Levi's and Dockers were upstairs of M&E (Lusso which retails upmarket brands like Fendi, Salvatore and Prada is downstairs of M&E, i mean REALLY), so we trooped upstairs to have a look. Bought 2 pairs of pants for mum which were on 50% and 75% sale. woohoo!! hopefully she'll like it. Also ended up renting 2 DVDs - Jim Carrey's "23" and Sandra Bullock's "Premonition" to watch over the weekend... SWEET!!

For lunch, we went to Sushi Tei (opened by fellow compatriot, and therefore deserves frequent patronage) for lunch... On the way to St Georges, the bridge "folded", or more accurately swung out, to allow this tall sailboat to pass. See below for illustration.We were having fun trying to figure out the mechanics of this bridge.. did you manage to?

Then we drove all the way east into the historic town centre and found this little bookstore in Tucker House. hao-e was craving to be nourished by literary works so we went in. BUT, dun think it had books hao-e was interested in cos he came back out within 5 mins. haha... it ain't no borders nor kino lor... the boss is just sitting right behind the cashier within an earshot, now see if you dare to browse??

Sushi Tei was as usual, pretty quiet. such a pity, cos they have pretty nice stuff available... hao-e started goofing around before the food came...

We ordered shrimp fried rice, chicken karaage, spider roll and york st special. the one on the left is the york st special roll... notice it's shaped like a townhouse? pretty interesting flavours with fresh salmon, mangoes and cucumber. yummy!

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.
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...
