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?

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

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 ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
