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.

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 ...
