TGIF

This is the end of the first work week for us since returning last weekend. Officially, we're now half-way through the last work-day of the week. YIPPEE!!!

It was tough getting over the jet lag this time, especially for me. Took me all of 6 days. Not too bad actually, considering i'm correcting 2 hours in each day. Last night was the first night i slept till the alarm woke me up at 6.30am this morning. yeps, all 8 hours full of sleep. Didn't toss and turn on the bed trying to get back to sleep at 4.30am. Nope, just peaceful rest. I Like!

How's everyone getting on in Singapore? Gosh, it was so difficult boarding that flight in T3 last Thursday. My sis, get this, NOT my mum ok, MY SISTER actually teared at the airport. Aww... *pat pat back*. We'll be back before you even know it. In the meantime, continue missing your little sister, cos i'll be missing you from here too.

Oh! we are heading to London on 2 - 11 Mar. Can't wait for that to happen. i'm already planning shows/plays/ballets to watch whilst there. it's just bloody exciting to be back after almost 4 years. but knowing london, i bet most of the streets in zone 1 should still be the same, so no worries about getting lost. i'm looking forward to belgo, ten ten tei and four seasons, my old haunts. yummy yummy food!!!

there is a wine-tasting event at Gosling's tonight with dinner thrown in too. not a wine fan, cos it sends me straight to bed so it will be alcohol in moderation tonight. if it's beer or rum, then it's a different story. heh. i recently went to roy's house where he hosted dinner, home-made no less, for a bunch of us old friends. i brought rum cake, some beer, and a bottle of barcardi rum. gosh, i must have seemed like an alcoholic, cos it was just me and my bottle of barcardi all night. haha. coupled with rum cake too. i'm a rum addict. this place is brilliant for me, you know? hahaha... that's the alcoholic talking again.

anyway, it's the lenten season. for those who paused and thought "WTF?", you can skip this paragraph, cos i'm going to go on and on about religion-y things. SCROLL TO NEXT PARA. So it's the lenten period. Hao-e and i have decided to give up red meat for the 40 days before Good Fri and Easter. no more hamburgers, no steaks, no bbq ribs, etc. yeps, and i'll throw in another "no rum for 40 days" resolution too. considering my like for the liquid, not bad siah? thanks, i know i am good.

anyway, i believe new year celebration finally ends! wasn't it like Yuan Xiao yesterday? or is it today? HAPPY YUAN XIAO JIE!

Enough of my ramblings. Leave a comment, tell me what you did for V-day.

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 ...

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...
