Looking for a new Apartment

Our search for a new apartment hasn't been fruitful. Having lived in this one for the past 2 years, we thought it prudent to "move on" because one, we've outgrown the apartment and two, to avoid the problems that are bound to come up after this length of time e.g. appliances breaking, creepy-crawlies like ants, toilet bowl breaking, etc... the fridge made such a ruckus on monday morning, i thought it was going to fall apart! all i could think of was how to salvage the fresh milk, eggs, and all the frozen food! thankfully it stopped the nonsense after 10 mins and (hopefully) went back to normal minus the noise... totally unexpected from a fridge of 2 years don't you think?

landlord wise, we have a very responsible person who ensures the grass gets cut, the hedge gets trimmed, the water tank is full, the washer and dryer albeit old, still manage... and the best part of it is of course the fact that he doesn't stay on the property, so the freedom (not that we do anything really naughty) is great.

we've seen a couple of houses so far, and i have to say, none of them except for the last one has even made me think of moving. no great impetus to move i guess. we might be staying for another year, who knows?!

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.
