And yet another week has gone by. Why does time pass so fast?
Highlights of the weekend:
1) I met up with an ex-student for dinner. That was nice.
2) Watched Monster-In-Law which was a crappy show. The only thing I enjoyed was drooling over Michael Vartan (you should have heard the whole row of teenage girls behind me squealing and giggling every time he came on screen! Geez! Like get a hold on yourselves girls!). Jennifer Lopez's character was annoyingly sweet and perfect. It was positively nauseating. Jane Fonda as the mother-in-law from hell was at least more entertaining. But still, a totally crappy show.
3) Bought two books and adding to my list of waiting-to-be-read books lying in my room. They're Lin Yutang's The Importance of Living and My Country, My People.
4) Bought a dragonboat paddle.
5) Bought a new top while braving the crowds at Orchard Road. But I gave up after 1.5 hours and headed home because I just couldn't take the stress of weaving through the crowds. But at least I had something to show for my outing!
6) Had my last tennis lesson with my tennis coach. The Sister is going abroad for further studies very soon, so decided to stop as I don't want to learn alone. And more importantly, I can't really afford to pay. Heh. Anyway, I'm pretty crap at it. But I think I'm good enough for a social game lah.
7) And I'm still trying to decide whether to give up this domain name dimsumdolly.com and change to a free blog account. I don't know if I can deal with all that technical stuff of transferring servers and files etc. Argh.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

As for blogs - sigh, I'm having problems deciding too.

Posted by: crystallime at June 7, 2005 12:13 AMmonoceros: yes, i hope we can learn together! Please call me up when you start playing again.
crystallime: Yah! "Maid In Manhattan" and "The Wedding Planner" were such terrible movies! I was so disappointed with Ralph Fiennes for choosing to act in the former! Anyway, i hate all these JL movies. *finger in throat*
And yeah, Mr & Mrs Smith look pretty cool!

the blogging decision thingy is a headache indeed...
do people usually own their own dragonboat paddle?
Posted by: tiggie at June 8, 2005 4:35 AMthe more regular rowers usually buy their own paddles. The ones we buy are better than the ones that you can borrow every practice 'cos the ones we buy are a different model and are lighter, making it . It's also more streamlined so it slices through the water better.
