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?

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...

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 ...
