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.

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.

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 ...

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.
