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....

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.
