11 days to CNY

Met Michelle and Sophie at Primavera for lunch yesterday.  I had my fill of hotate sashimi, yum! and a spicy seafood salad, double yum!! Sophie turned one last week!  the big girl is teething too! so cute.  babie when admired from afar, are always angelic and adorable.  i never get to see the crying and screaming, so that's nice.

went to town in the rain and wind to send off a letter to SOA during lunch.  there were several times when i thought i could walk no more, cos the winds were too strong and i was struggling to step forward.  and of course, i had to wear a dress in this weather, so it was one hand grabbing my hoodie, the other pulling at my skirt to prevent any public display of things that should not be displayed in public. argh.  why did i wear a skirt, and heels when i knew i was going to walk to town?! so smart of me. 

btw, there's a new cafe in town, right next to Cafe 4.  i still went to Cafe 4 to grab a salad for lunch anyway.  the salad at QuickBites, that's what the new cafe is called, was way too expensive.  no value-for-money.

also popped into body shop to get a sharpener.  just realised the sharpener i bought in hkg was too small. sigh. no more panic buying in future.

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.
