It's another friday. This time, i'm in another place with different people. gmail is blocked. sucks. Hao-e called me last night. NB: he never calls me during his work time, unless it's life or death. this time, he was talking about unhappiness at work. we've been in bermuda since april 2007 - 25+ months. the frequency of his complaints has increased exponentially this year. it could be due to new colleagues, new bosses and/or the new structure. whatever it is, he's feeling frustrated and i am too. 2 years on, i still have no proper job and i'm about to fail a bloody USD400 exam. things are not looking good. looking at where the company is heading, i am also apprehensive at how much more development he can have in this environment. not to mention the fact that i'm still temping after 1.5 years. my only consolation to him is his work permit will be up for renewal in Oct 2010, at the rate immigration is going, i have some doubts if his would be renewed. i still have a job in singapore waiting should we be so desperate. so who cares? let's just pack up and go - anywhere. we don't have much to pack anyhow.

Babe, tell KH to hang on and if it is really that bad, he can always come home and look for another job. Take care, both of u.

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.

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 ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
