It's a little late but...

Sorry for not updating my blog religiously and diligently these past few weeks.  There are actually a couple of pieces of good news to share.  

One, Matt and I found a new apartment.  It's bigger, with 2 bedrooms and a basement, so we can have friends and family over anytime.  The apartment also comes with a/c throughout, which is a huge blessing as the temperatures climb in Summer.  I might be from the tropics, but the humidity here is really quite a different thing altogether.  Our current apartment is now a fire hazard.  There are so many boxes and suitcases lying around, some filled, some half-filled, some waiting to be filled.  We've packed around 90% of the living area and 40% of the bedroom and we've got about 10 days left.  Actually, 7 days left cos we'll be spending 3 days in NYC.  Loads of administrative things to do with the move, changing addresses etc.  it's going to be painful for these few weeks at least.  Anyway, we're moving over from 1st June and will post some pics after we've more or less unpacked and settled in.

Two, i'm officially a permanent staff member of my office.  My work permit got approved on 10th May for 3 years.  So it looks like we'll be here for another 3 years.  More administrative things to do.... But happy problems, if you ask me.  I'm glad to finally announce that I have a proper job (even though i'll be on probation for 3 months) after 3 bloody long years!  Praise the Lord!

Three, we're heading to NYC this Saturday for a long weekend (next Monday is Bermuda Day).  I'm going to hunt for a new bikini and new work wear from j.crew and h&m.  bored of those i'd gotten in sgp and sf.  and we're going to load up on the good asian food from morning to night.  haha... thank God for 24 hour Korean restaurants.

Four, summer is almost here, so the boat trips begin!  i just bought us some new snorkel gear so that we can dive right into the water to scare, i mean stare at the fishes during our first boat trip for the season on 29th May.  Here's when the new bikini will be out to play.  I do have an arena swimsuit but somehow it ain't fitting as well as it did 3 months ago.  eek. happy thoughts, think only happy thoughts.

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...

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.

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
