September 1st has come and gone...

I know this post is late, and long overdue... although it's labour day here in Bermuda, we celebrate teachers' day on 1st sept. there have been many teachers through my 27 years that have left an impression... let's see now.
  1. Mrs Gay - my first piano teacher who caned my knuckles
  2. Ms Hsu - my 2nd piano teacher who taught me that short fingers need to "jump around" faster
  3. Qi Lao Shi - my guzheng teacher who i still can't believe is married with 2 daughters
  4. Mrs Simon - my first ballet teacher who taught me the word "spastic"
  5. the many ballet teachers i had at SBA - i cannot remember their names now except for the last one Mei Sing.
  6. as for school teachers... in primary school there were Mrs. Helen Chong (P1-P2), Mrs. Doris Lee (P5-P6), Mrs. Ang a.k.a. Hong Lao Shi (P4-P6)
  7. in secondary school, i only liked my math teacher - can't rem name but can definitely rem her face
  8. in jc my 2 favourites - Mr. Ho Shen Yong and Mr. Ng Pak Tee - they're the reasons for me taking math at imperial. Mr. Ho was from imperial and Mr. Ng majored in math. muahaha.
  9. in college - Dr. Wilson for being so frail and yet nice. Dr. Gordon James for being so precise everytime.

these are the people i credit for shaping me into this wacko. hahaha. what i really wanted to say - in my weird convoluted and nonsensical way - is that i remember you because you've really taught me something. and i just wanted to say THANK 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.

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.
