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.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

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 ...

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.
