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!

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...

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...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
