Back to Work

5:00am - started tossing and turning in bed.  hao-e and i woke up at this ungodly hour and couldn't fall back to sleep.
6:00am - hao-e starts making irritating sounds on his blackberry
6:40am - alarm rings and i spring up to silence it.  wth, i've been up for almost 2 hours anyway.
7:40am - still ironing the frizz out of my hair.
8:05am - started the car and realised we're 5 mins later than usual.
8:20am - parked in an empty carpark. thought: is it a public holiday today? walked to the supermarket for some yogurt.  tried to paid for said yogurt except they didn't sell those singly.  bah.  walked back to fridge aisle to get another brand that did sell singly. paid for said yogurt.
8:30am - started tackling the bills.  apparently we didn't pay our cable bill last month.  strange.  double-checked account.  ah well, maybe i didn't.  shucks. paid said bill. started to pay utilities bill.  did a double-take.  checked account. i did pay it before leaving for singapore.  deleted said transaction.
9:00am - first coffee of the day.  anticipating a necessary 2nd coffee at about noon.
12:05pm - left to get soup from miles.
12:45pm - had said 2nd cup of coffee.
2:00pm - typing this blog entry and wondering when this day is going to end.... i'm so sleepy

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY.

This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
