PMS.  The wretched friend that comes knocking on the door every so often.  like how the song goes, you can run but you can't hide.

We've recently bought a new Getz.  Some lucky lady won it in a raffle a.k.a. what we call lucky draw in sgp.  Apparently she spent her last $50 on 10 raffle tickets and won the first prize.  The sob story behind it was, she didn't really have anything left for necessities that week because of this raffle.  The $18,000 she got from us will be spent paying off her car loan and credit card bills. Talk about an open window.  I hope she uses this open window wisely....

I've also just joined the gym next to the office.  Went last Friday for a half hour jog-run before work, burning only 150 calories because I was so out of shape.  The company pays for half of the gym membership fees, so that's good.  Plus, it'll be crazy busy soon so it'll be good to have the gym close by so i can go over for a run anytime of the day or night (gulp!).

Other than that, i'm busy studying for 2 more exams in less than 4 weeks.  there are so many homework assignments, i can cry. please let me pass these.  the truly hard one will begin in December....

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.

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. 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. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? 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 ...
