Was waylaid by SISLEY during yesterday's mid-day adventure into town. It was having a half-off sale, end of season i suspect. I thought i'd stick my head in for a quick look-round. but obviously i ended up buying 2 tops - 1 was a black vest i've been eyeing and the other was a olive green wrap-around sweater with butterfly-flappy wings (in anticipation of cooler weather in the fall). yeps both were half price, which is such a good deal ain't it? these are the times i'm truly grateful to be on this island. no crowds, no lack of sizes and no queues for the fitting rooms. ultimate bliss lor! i think i'll be shocked at the crowds when we head over to california in October. i booked 3 cars for the trip from Enterprise, Hertz and Budget. haha, i'm kiasu i know. but they don't charge for the bookings so just book lor! (2nd lor in 3 lines, better explain. 'lor' is very flexible. it can mean an emphasis, or an overly obvious statement e.g. 'ultimate bliss lor' = 'ultimate bliss x1000' and 'just book lor' = 'might as well book'). Due to our booking at Marriott, there was quite a substantial discount for Hertz, so that will be our first choice for the car!

Jeann and I are going to catch Public Enemy this evening. First time in a long time i'm heading to the theatre without Hao-e. wow!

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.
