Busy as a Bee can Be, i tell ya

it has been busy busy busy... choir practice has been going pretty well - i've realised i may not have the perfect vocals, but i can certainly sing in a choir. and the alto part is really quite interesting - cos we're never really on the melody (unlike the sopranos who have such an easy job), so it's interesting to hear the harmonising.... puts years of ABRSM theory into practice.

belly dancing has stopped abruptly because someone from immigration decided that the teacher needed a work permit to teach the class - even though all proceeds go to charity and she doesn't pocket anything?!

Hao-e and i have been taking turns getting sick. slept the whole long weekend away. the weather's not helping - it suddenly turned pretty cold this last few days. haven't turned the a/c on in the car - it was cool enough outside. just got nin jiom pei par gao from miles market and have been diligently taking it, but it hasn't helped much either. strepsils as well. ah well.
  • friend SY in NZ has just bought a huge house and 2 honda fits - one pink and one blue! congrats on new job, everything and i really really dig your home.
  • B just came back from Silk Road - i want to go there as well!
  • Colleagues' babies have turned one! (that was quick!) Happy Birthday Chloe and Clare!
  • R is considering getting an emba - i just realised there's such a thing vs the normal mba thing.
  • Sister is going to Phuket end of month!
  • Happy birthday to Godma! and enjoy tai-tai-dom in London!
  • 2 weeks left to Boston trip! Yay!

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...

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...

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 ...
