DDR2

it has been a nightmare driving to the gym these days - everyone's out mad-shopping for the holidays. i had to circle around the gym like 6-7 times on wed before i found one pathetic parallel parking lot. that sucks lor. the feeling of suckiness was further compounded when i found to my utter (gasp!) horror that my fav instructor was off-island visiting his mother. aww... i just paid for my new aerobics card, got into my car and drove home. how pathetic is that?!

so recession hasn't really hit the islanders much. everyone's still buying buying buying. unlike our "cousins" in US (yeah, i wonder why they're cousins, maybe because it's still afterall a british overseas territory).

so last night, as i contemplated whether i should foray into town and risk circling round the gym like a headless chicken hunting for a meagre parking lot, i decided to stay home and make full use of the wii.

do you remember those bengs at the arcade hogging those machines with 4 lit arrows called "Dance Dance Revolution"? hahaha, you'd be pleased to know that an huay is alive and kicking in bermuda. we'd bought the game in boston and i probably played it 3 times in total.... last night, i stomped and waved my nunchucks to my heart's delight in the warmth of my living room. for 2 hours.... pause for intake of breath... yeah, 2 hours. for 120 mins, i huffed and puffed and tried to keep up with the machine that kept screaming "perfect!", "good", "show them what you've got", blah blah... wow, by the end of the night, the wii was my newfound friend and gym buddy, my calves were killing me from all that stomping and hopping, and i was sweating like nobody's business. it wasn't a perfect cardio workout cos you had to stop every 60seconds for it to change songs, but hey! it's a good deal that i don't have to brave the cold and the irate crowds in town!!!

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 ...

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...
