Everytime i think the weather has eased up, it just gets worse. we've hit another bout of bad weather. showers, gale-like winds, you name it. this place just never ceases to amaze me. it's supposed to be another bad week, so i'm preppng myself with boots pants and the brollie tomorrow. i think i might even be missing the hot scorching sun back home.

In any case, this has been a DVD weekend. We watched Elizabeth:The Golden Age and Rush Hour 3 on Friday, followed by The Heartbreak Kid and As You Like It yesterday.

RH3 was as usual - chock-full of Jackie's usual kungfu madness. Heartbreak Kid was really quite entertaining. Elizabeth was serious yet totally thoughtful. As You Like It - i fell asleep halfway and decided to call mum instead. yeps, i've listed them according to how much i enjoyed those shows.

Friday night, we were at Cafe Cairo with K's bunch of friends. The food was really good, we had the hummus, red pepper hummus, baba ganoush, tabouleh, and some yogurt-cucumber dip with pita bread for starters. hao-e had the steak while i enoyed my chicken tajine (a la claypot rice but swop rice with couscous). the company was hilarious. they were all slightly younger, their energy was really contagious. and we finally reached the conclusion - bermuda kids are more wordly than their american counterparts. i suppose worldliness stems from the fact that they live on an island highly dependent on external sources for food, entertainment, education, and labour. they are less sheltered and more independent. a nice grounded bunch.

i'm sorry for the lack of pictures. my camera has retired to the place where dead cameras lie. i refuse to use hao-e's camera. pictures will have to wait till i get camera fixed in singapore. sighs.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
