Friday - it's one down one more darn exam to go!

Reached the exam venue at 7.45am this morning, doors wouldn't open!? hao-e and i sat in the car for 15 mins before the automatic doors started working. waited another 3 mins for a receptionist to turn up, no one did! was finally brought to the roof-top for the exam and realised there were only 2 people who signed up for the exam -2 SUCKERS! funny, both of us were Chinese females under the age of 30. she's canadian though, and i bet her family was originally from hong kong, last name's tsai. Slogged through 2.5 hours of excruciatingly horrifying statistics - i still hate it despite the years that have passed between the painful lectures my old stats prof Dr. What's-his-name-who-looks-good-but-cannot-teach gave and now. And i've finally realised that Dr. Stephen (that's the name!), was not a bad professor, the problem i had with stats was and still is the subject itself. it's just plain ugly. anyway, managed to complete only 18 of the 25 questions, felt darn bad. came out of the exam room and talked to other chinese female under 30 years. she completed 18 too! didn't feel so bad after that. but still worried i'll waste the $300 registration fee and $300 spent on study manuals. cross eyes, cross fingers and cross toes. pray hard that casact will moderate the results.

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...
