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.

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...

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...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
