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!

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 ...
