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.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.
