Hao-e's unhappy

Hao-e a.k.a. the hubby has been very mang zang these days due to:- 1) increased workload - colleague's on vacation; 2) studying for exams; 3) me not picking up my phone.

I have to admit that I often use my iphone as a camera, to get on skype, facebook or fring, play sudoku/games or as an ipod or alarm clock.  It very rarely is used as a phone phone. i can count with the fingers on one hand the people that do call me.  because i use it as an ipod, the overall volume and hence the volume of the ringer is usually set low for fear of bursting my ear drums (and that apple, is a stupid feature of the iphone 3GS btw!).  So even when i do remember to switch on the ringer/ringtones at the end of the workday, it is often too soft for me to hear it ring!

So, hao-e got upset when he tried to call me last evening, 7 times.  i missed them all until he emailed me to pick up the phone. convoluted right?  email me so that i can search for the darn phone?!!  yeah.  i must really try to remember not to adjust my volume settings and to take it off silent mode after 5pm.  sigh....

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.

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 ...

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 ...
