It's mid-week again, which is great.

depression sets in when you least expect it to. i can't say i'm unhappy - no, not I. nor can i say that i'm coasting along. sometimes these dips in mood can create havoc. i think i'm depressed partially because of the exams - i'm doomed to fail them both. the other reason is of course the fact that i'm still not gainfully employed - i'm not unemployed though, sigh. maybe i should correct myself and say that i'm still not happily employed. new assignment ain't great because people aren't as friendly or happy-go-lucky as the last place. i have to stay for another 2 months and 3 weeks. oh gosh. i am perhaps destined to be an over-qualified administrator who is very good at the "administrating"... if you know what i mean. if only administrators are considered professionals too. maybe that'll help me when i include that in my resume.

the weather has been dry and sunny the past week. water tank is empty though so the landlord had to bring in the water truck = $$ spent buying water. ah well, see what i mean about nothing being perfect, ever?

don't want to mope around anymore, let me get through these 2 idiotic exams and toss the books! oh and please God, don't let Lisbon-ites get any piggy flu. i want my holiday.

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.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

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.
