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!

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...

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.

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
