FRIDAY!!!

it's friday darlings! yippee! and it's the weekend before christmas!! super exciting. tis the season to be jolly, everyone's in a holiday mood!!

we went over to hao-e's big boss' place for dinner on wednesday night. their house is gigantuous and so well-decorated for the season. and their chef (you'd heard right, they have a live-in chef) made such good food!! there were 3 soups - pea, banana (?! amazingly delicious did i mention?!), and a third i can't remember what. the soups were served in small little cups. super cute! for mains, there was roast turkey with gravy/cranberry sauce, peas, roast potatoes and red cabbage. i'm drooling as i recall them... and for dessert, there was a date cake with vanilla ice-cream. absolute HEAVEN! i want their chef john. such a darling. one day.... when $$ isn't an issue, i want a live-in chef too! and he must be able to make the date cake... if he comes with a cute scottish accent as well, all the better... haha...

funny how the conversation dragged on till past 11pm. me was so tired after that, i drove crazily. like super fast compared to normal standards. and we were so low on gas, we had to drive back to the city where there's the only 24-hour gas station before going home. finally reached home at 12mn. sleep came near 1am.

was zombified the whole of yesterday, so i went to bed at 9pm. yeps. slept all of 10 hours.

oh, and have i mentioned it's friday?

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 ...
