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!

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...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...

I'm down with flu

am at home today, trying to recover quickly from this flu that's causing this ache in my back. shite. supposed to try this new class called Step Blitz last evening, but i just couldn't make it... doc gave some sleep-inducing medicine, which made me so drowsy i fell asleep at 9pm and missed desperate housewives. sigh. about the weekend, spent sunday with hao-e at sim lim. couldn't understand a word of the gibberish they were spouting there. what gigs and rams and bytes etc. the first i thought was a performance, the second an animal and the last would be the things mosquites do to humans. went hunting around level 4 for a flat LCD screen. walked to and fro 3 locations before he was finally happy with his purchase. poor other salesman, he looked a bit worn out after that. so now we are going to have 2 PCs at home, so that poor me can surf the net when i feel like it. (don't need to pester him to get off the chair for once...) today's the day of the dental a...
