Sad

I visited one of my colleagues, PW last evening at the local hospital.  I'd rushed there with 2 of my colleagues (also known as cluster mates as we sit in a cluster of 4 in the office) as PW was about to be airlifted to Boston that night for treatment.  It was the first time I saw him since the beginning of February when he left for Cambodia and S Korea.  Shockingly, he is down with some sort of immuno-disease and doctors here weren't able to confirm what he is actually suffering from.  He has lost a lot of weight and looked so frail and thin, it was heartbreaking.  When we walked out of the ward, one of my colleagues CC said he hopes we're not saying our last goodbyes.  I told him off immediately but couldn't shake off the same thought as I left the hospital.  It all became so serious so suddenly.  I know that God has His plans but I still hope that whatever he has is curable. PW is now in MassGen and (hopefully!) in more competent hands. May he get well soon.

I told Matt that he needs to take his multi-vitamins everyday now RELIGIOUSLY.  Hopefully Matt will also cut down his working hours and learn to take it easy a little more.  I don't think I can handle him being this sick like PW.

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.

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.
