Golf

not sure whether i'd mention here that we had gotten ourselves a set of ultra cheapo golf clubs some weeks back (i believe was the first week after our return to bermuda). it was advertised on e-moo at $100 one day, hao-e called the guy and arranged to have a look at the clubs that evening. so we rushed there after work, driving through maniac rush-hour traffic (eh... cannot compare with CTE rush-hour lah, but imagine the left-most lane of CTE at aroun 8.30am - it's close). hao-e eventually bargained it down to $75 for the set - it's apparently 4 years old, a full set, unbranded. hey, we took that guy's word for it, because i didn't know how to tell if the age of the clubs or what constituted a full set of clubs lor! LOL. thank God we met an honest guy (non-asian heritage of course) who really wanted to get rid of his clubs.

so anyhoo, we had this set of golf clubs (in a red bag no less!) sitting in the closet for the past few weeks... finally used it on saturday at the driving range at southampton. we took the driver, and #3, #5, #9 irons to the range for a try. i totally sucked at the irons, but did fairly well with the driver - 110yards ok! hao-e was pretty good of course, whacked the balls like there was no tomorrow, except they all flew in the 2.30 direction. =_= clumsy me hit my own shoulder with the driver - it's bruised. and both of us had pretty sore left arms that night. we had this bunch of si-gin-na's beside us, which added to the pressure (they averaged 50-75 yards, not much less than ours... sigh). long way more to go to reach 200 yards.

1.5 hours, 80 balls, USD10. ENJOYMENT, PRICELESS.

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...

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 ...

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...
