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!!!

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.
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)

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...
