If you didn't know, my dear husband has begun working the asian shift, meaning he starts work in the late afternoon and 'finishes' in the morning. i use the term 'finish' rather loosely because he never really 'finishes' work for the day. the perils of technology you see, the very gadget that is both a curse and cure - the blackberry. it threatens the demise of personal time. because of it, you're expected to 'work' and respond in an instant. hao-e glances at it every other minute, even during mass sometimes which gets on my nerves. he has no life outside of work. i hope he's happy with work.

because of this change, we don't get to see each other on weekdays anymore except for a few minutes in the morning, when i drop the car off for him to drive home, and a few seconds in the afternoon when he drops the car off for me to drive home at 4.30pm. i've lodged a complaint in light of this and have threatened to get a one-way ticket to go back to singapore. in fact, i've set a deadline of 31st December 2009. if i ain't got a good enough job then and hao-e is still working these hours, i will leave Bermuda and head home. it's too hard to not have friends and family around. it's not worth it if i don't get to see my husband either. don't you agree?

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.

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 ...
