Hi everyone! We're back on the island. we came back on friday evening managing to sneak past both US and Bermuda customs without much fuss and after such a long time in the air that our body clocks went crazy. we're still jet-lagging and sleeping crazy hours just cos we can't stay up till the appropriate sleeping times. (it's a 12hour time difference afterall.) but i'm determined to go to bed at 10pm tonight after watching the last episode of dance wars, instead of 3pm on Sat and 8pm last night. did i mention i woke up at 4am on both mornings? absolute rubbish sleeping, no rest at all! i'm loaded with so much caffeine from the 4 cups of coffee i've had since 7am this morning, that i'm oozing caffeine from my pores i tell you. btw i'm still coughing my lungs out and hao-e still has his ulcers (the effect of the horrendous weather in Singapore). i know i don't make sense, and the sentences don't gel, but i'm relying on coffee to keep awake, so please forgive me for the lack of flow.

You know how i always complain about this place? Somehow, i'm glad to be back. For one, the weather's great. we left the island when it was windy and chilly and 2 weeks later, we're having sunshine and warmth, averaging about 18-20 degrees. such happiness. Two, familiar faces saying "Good Morning!" or "Hi!" again. had such a hard time shutting up in Singapore, now i can open my mouth again and be uber friendly. Three, i'm looking forward to london in a couple of weeks. So that's super exciting.

what's up with you?

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.

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.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
