was irritated by the girl from the agency. first she told me i didn't need SI. then she claimed she told me it was necessary and pressed me to apply for one immediately. then she told me i needed a bermuda dollar bank account, that my US dollar account wouldn't do, they can't give me a cheque blah blah... irritated. thank goodness i could open an account via internet banking. (PS: can this be done in Singapore too? took me all of 30 seconds to login and click through till the end confirmation.) if not, i'd have added her to the list of people who do not deserve christmas presents this year. not that i intended to give her any cookies this year. nah...

i saw her (the same girl as above) in town last saturday while we were shopping for hao-e's secret santa present... the town ain't big so we're bound to bump into someone familiar...hao-e bought his colleague headphones costing $40 -- $10 above budget. weird. he's usually not "extravagant" like that. in return, he received a $30 voucher from music world. wonder if there are dvds sold there.... i popped into bodyshop to get a set of lotions for JS cos she gave me a bottle of lotion as well. heard from sis that i have a present waiting for me in singapore. steph, if you're reading this, please know that i would have liked to have gotten your present too, but there isn't much to buy here. go get yourself something nice and i'll pay for it. ok? paiseh.

last evening, hao-e and i went to the harbourfront for our anniversary/christmas dinner with his birthday voucher. it was nice. but i felt so sinful after it cos we binged on sushi, fish chowder, arrugula salad and chocolate truffle. argh... and i don't even go to the gym. so dead. so fat.

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...

Amazon Prime Now - Experience So Far

I use Amazon on a regular basis to bring in my thermacare belts for my lower back.  As an avid online shopper, I buy a lot stuff online amazon, qoo10, etc.  Imagine my excitement when Amazon decided to open a distribution centre locally?  No more shipping to a PO box in US!  No more worrying about buying over US$125 to get free shipping to Singapore! Wow! And holy smokes, 2-hour deliveries! I just had to try it out. So I downloaded the app, (yes, you heard right, you can't order using the regular amazon website on your pc/laptop.  You have to use the prime now app, not even the regular amazon app...) and browsed through the range.  Hmm... that's sort of disappointing... I mean it's nice to have groceries delivered in 2 hours, especially if you decide on the spur of the moment to have a party at home or something, but the products available were certainly limited. I have since ordered from amazon prime now 3 times in the last week. Their deliveries come ...

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...
