It's a new day!

Good Morning Good Morning!

Woke up today thinking "is it Friday yet?" then flopping back into bed reminding myself "it's thursday, one more day to the weekend"

Work has been hectic, as it heats up towards accreditation, there are brochures to be printed and displayed, folders to be made for "show and tell", minutes to be hurriedly written, policies to be signed with immediate effect... in short, it's last minute. work hasn't been very fun lately cos everyone's stressed and worried that some major screw up will happen, people are unhappy with each other, blah blah... you know the works.

Last evening we were at L'oriental for dinner with Oliver who was here for the week. Oliver is Matt's co-worker (apparently, they don't quite like to use the term colleague here) based in London. Don't know whether i've told you guys before, Orbis House in London is right smack in central London, like 2 steps away from Oxford Street/Circus. If ever i get a job there, i think i'll be very very very poor from all the shopping i'll do. *winks* So we met up for dinner at L'oriental which is like one of the best Asian restaurant on the island. I say Asian because it serves thai (pad thai/curry)/ cantonese (siew mai/har kow)/ shanghainese (dumplings)/ japanese (sushi/sashimi), and the service staff (another politically correct term instead of waiters/waitresses) are mostly filipinos. Anyway, the staff got Oliver's order of fresh oysters wrong, twice (i swear it's the loud music plus the intermittent clanging noises the teppanyaki chefs make as part of their "show"). Other than that, the sushi roll i ordered was good but i really do miss sakae and sushi tei back home for the variety. here it's just makimono, nigiri and sashimi. (and mind you, some people do think that's all we eat in Asia ok *roll eyes*)

It's a treat to have dinner outside on a week night. Usually, we head home for some simple meal before collapsing on the bed to snooze. So thanks to Oliver, we had the perfect excuse for a night out.

Guess I shouldn't wax lyrical on the copious amounts of sushi and sahimi I've been consuming here. heh. - Jo

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.

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 ...

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.
