It has been getting harder and harder to pry meself outta bed each morning. it must be the heat. wait, did i hear mumurs from you claiming i said the same thing when it was cold?! no wait, further whispers heard all round of "it's pure laziness plus the age-factor"!? wait wait, i exclaim! i'm not old. may not win the most hardworking crown but i ain't THAT lazy. but it's the truth, i am finding it difficult to get out of bed. not that we have new 500-thread count 5-star hotel standard type of plush feather pillows/bedding. my pillow costs a mere $20. comforter costs $150 from 2 years ago. bedsheets are those chewed by my dog, bought when we first got our bedok flat. so what is the reason for this lethargy?

i recently woke up remembering a dream - i don't usually remember anything, i'm a good sleeper, i don't usually wake up at night for anything, not even the loudest thunder, i can be carted off to the sahara desert and i wouldn't know, really - the dream included people at work and the things i was supposed to do at work the next day. pooh. could i be dreaming about work? i probably have the most relaxing job at present. no work pressure, no long hours... although i do have 4 bosses to "take care" of. so why is it featuring in my dreams? is that what's keeping me from resting properly and waking up refreshed after >6 hours of sleep?!

now that i think about it, i have the most restful sleep on friday and saturday nights. blissful, uninterrupted sleep. how is it possible i can stress about unimportant stuff like work?!

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 ...

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...

dinner at swizzle inn

last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
