i blame it on tea.... and the Flavia beverage maker... the office for having the bev maker in the pantry... Flavia for making good white tea and green tea flavourings...

i don't remember my dreams. i never wake up in the worst thunderstorms. check both for last night and the night before. argh.

the night before, i woke up at 3am to close the windows. in my household - i.e. between hao-e and i - the carpet would be soaked if i didn't wake up to slam shut the window. fell back to dreamland and dreamt of a night out with the gals - corb, wp and jo are the 3 faces i remember - at a bar of some sort. we were chatting and drinking and wp and i were discussing tanya's newest album which i've been raving about during my waking hours.... good and pleasant dream.

last night, i fell asleep at 11pm thinking i could clock a good 8 hours of sleep. of course not! the last few hours were bad. i dreamt that hao-e and i were viewing an apartment which looked so fantastic from the front end, but if you ventured to the backyard, you'll see weird, disabled looking guys walking around with axes and this dense, tall, dark vegetation. the current owner is this old, weird lady with an even weirder grandson(?). the agent was selling the apartment so hard, but the house was just too eerie and we fled. talk about bad feng shui. it has all the worst feng shui elements. i don't know whether it's due to the 3 cups of white tea, or the can of diet coke, or too much dinner, or the fact that we are actually viewing an apartment today (bad omen??) or the news reports of tall cannibis plants being found in Sandys parish or maybe a combination of all of the above factors. bad bad dream...

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...

Forgive and Forget

it's been a long time since i've written anything of a serious nature. i try to keep this blog lighthearted but some things have been bugging me lately and i need to ventilate and detox myself. so please bear with me as i spurt and sputter some bad blood. one, because of man A's negligence, my start date has been delayed till further notice. was rather upset about it, not because i was looking forward to what i thought i was about to do, but because once again, my plans have been thwarted by things and people beyond my control. i should have been able to start in july had hao-e's permanent work permit been granted right after his first temporary work permit lapsed. BUT, it didn't happen that way cos hao-e had to settle for a second temporary work permit as they tried to sort out his permanent one. now, with this delay, i'm not sure when i can begin contributing to the "save stella" fund. [C was really cute today as i told her the amount that i ...
