Countdown to CNY 2013

Two weeks to CNY.  The year of the snake is almost upon us.  This means Stef turns 36 and my dear Aaron turns 48! Gulp!  How time flies!

Hao-e and I were talking in the cab this morning about Tony Leung (he's 50!), Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, and all their compatriots, how they've not aged visibly and how they've managed to sustain their careers for so many years.  It's pretty amazing if you think about it.  Aaron started off in Taiwan all those years ago as bright-eyed dancer who can barely carry a tune.  He's now freakingly good looking and a rather watchable actor, i think he won a golden horse several years back as well!  Takeshi Kaneshiro too, who knew he could play a very good looking Zhuge Liang?!  He actually looked like he could be intelligent enough, ha!  And Tony Leung has always been a charismatic actor, remember those days when he and Andy were in TVB drama serials? Even Jacky Cheung has diversified into acting, and he got a best supporting actor award too! Why are these people so multi-talented?  Leon well, he divorced his wife, don't know what he lives on, memories of the gold ole days i think.. heh, no love for the old man.

Anyway, back to CNY prep.  We've accomplished the following:-
  • new currency notes
  • red envelopes
  • yu sheng ordered
  • sofa and dining table ordered to be delivered next saturday
  • new clothing
  • plumber coming tomorrow
Things left to do:-
  • spring cleaning (yikes)
  • buy steam iron
  • put up some of the deco on the walls
  • new year goodies (this saturday)
  • pack the envelopes
I think we're good... no stress since no one will be coming to our house anyway. i think.

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.

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. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

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.
