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.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
