i'm trying to recover from a head-splitting migraine that woke me up at 5am this morning. had to drag myself out of bed, grab some cereal and down 2 panadols to quell it abit. as a result, i'm a little groggy, fuzzy and not quite awake. it is now after 1pm. i hope i don't fall asleep at the desk. there's this dull ache at the back of my skull, i think it is pre-assignment-related stress.


this is perhaps the do-or-die stage of my life. if i succeed (i.e. excel + like), i would begin my next phase of life in a brand new career, totally disjointed from my last. it may justify a longer stay on the island just to see how it all pans out. it's been a long break from real work.

saw GI Joe on Saturday with Colin. there were cringe-worthy moments involving some cliche lines from the Baroness Sienna Miller. (there was never a moment in the show when i believed her to be a killer, never. that's how bad she is.) there were other lol moments with ripcord as well. but most of all, i'm really impressed with lee byung hun. they may have done some dubbing for his parts, i'm not sure, but if not, he sure speaks great english! go watch it for the effects. appreciate it as an action flick, and stop analysising the storyline. it's based on a comic mind you.

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.
