Gong Xi Fa Cai! 恭喜發財!

Today's the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year!  Brain is accustomed to having at least 2 days off for the new year festivities, but body had to make it to the office this morning.  Wretched alarm went off at 6:40am, slammed the snooze button to catch another 5 minutes of sleep, secretly swearing to myself under the covers.  expected it to be cold after the windy, near gale-like conditions this past week, and true to expectations, it was very chilly this morning.  i don't even want to venture out of my bed, the duvet is so warm and comfortable.... argh. 

6:45am the alarm goes off a second time, this time warning me about the 5 mins less i would have for a shower, putting on the face armour and straightening wayward hair.... big groan followed by reluctance in taking off socks, plunging warm feet into cold bedroom slippers, double argh.... today's really not supposed to be a working day... every bone in my body is telling to go back to bed.  triple argh....

body clock is back to bermuda time, no more sleepnessless in the wee hours of the morning but still cannot sleep in.  aiyoh.

新年快樂!萬事如意!步步高升!
身體健康!虎年行大運!

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.

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 ...

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.
