Last thursday was corporate shopping night at Gibbons, the local department store. There was 20% store-wide discount as well as free sampling of Bailey's 2 newest flavours - peppermint and caramel. I was looking forward to it cos i needed a new pair of pants (i'd outgrown some of them... yeah, i'm bad...) but was a little disappointed when we got there. *raised eyebrows* no crowds, no long queues outside the changing rooms, no queues at the cashiers, no queues to sample the liquor with accompanying cakes. so unlike the sale situation in singapore. well, i guess one, people here unlike us, have enough $$ not to be perturbed by sales and discounts, and two, there aren't 4 million people here in bermuda. so naturally, there won't be crowds. *shrug*

i was so not used to it. i recall the mass hysteria when sale season hits the streets back home, where you snatch first then find an occasion to wear/use it or otherwise chuck it to the back of the wardrobe never to be seen again. every item purchased was a medal of honour for surviving and winning the war in robinson's/tangs/isetan/takashimaya. those were fun times.

i tried on 3 pairs of pants, paid for one and left the store within an hour without much fuss. argh. no urge to buy more. i'm losing my touch.

Back Safe and Sound

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 ...

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.

D-15

In a little over a fortnight, we'll be seeing our baby girl again.  It's been so long, I hope she has some inkling of what's happening with her and is as excited as we are. There are still many hurdles we have to clear before you become our daughter. I hope you are eating, sleeping and growing well.  Sweet dreams, little one.
