a rather eventful week

it has been a rather eventful week, starting from saturday. am feeling it's a good time to recap my week as i would liked it to be remembered :)

saturday. went to catch "no regrets: a tribute to edith piaf" by hossan leong, robin goh, denise tan and company at the dbs arts centre with a friend. and i never expected myself to actually fall in love with all those french songs (even though i don't understand a single word of french, except maybe bonjour). but edith piaf's songs were really lovely. the music just touch your heart. and now i know why she was such a french icon of her time. her life was reenacted on stage through hossan's narration and it was nice to get acquainted with this french icon.

thereafter, dinner was at a german restaurant called brotzeit at 313. detoured to paradigm infinitum as it was still early. i was first brought to pi by the ex, and now i'm here again. well, i guess some thoughts/memories are better kept to myself. anyway, dinner was great though i think there was too much fats on the pork knuckles for me to enjoy it thoroughly. we had a nice time chatting away. i would have been quite glad for the night to last longer. but i guess all good things must come to an end. and i guess the song for the day would have to be 'somewhere over the rainbow' :)

sunday. attended bro's rite of acceptance. mass was rather interesting as father emmanuel conducted his homily in a different way by having a conversation with two other people. sad to say though that i kinda switched off at some parts as i had a hard time trying to understand father emmanuel's english. i will work harder to understand his accent so i won't keep switching myself off. heh.

monday. saw the doctor who delivered the verdict on the 'status' of my op. but got scolded by him first for deciding on my own to walk with only one side of the crutch. if he knew i walked with the walking stick as well, i think he will jump sky high. anyway, went in and out of the x-ray room three times. was granted permission to finally ditch the walking stick too. and so, from today on, we will pray very hard and see how things go! my dear left hip, please pass the one year test. i appreciate your kind cooperation. thank you.

tuesday. it's vesak day holiday and my family decided to catch a movie at the newly renovated lido. so we decided on 'thor' since it was the in-movie to catch at that point in time. lido looks quite impressive on the outside. in the theatres, the seats were nice, but we felt like we had to go through a maze to get to our theatre and then climb a mountain to get to our seats. definitely not handicapped friendly at all. thank god i was much better le, and had plenty of secret exercises before that day, in order to climb those steps without too much difficulty. we had bk for lunch (yay! my once-a-wk beef fix), shopped for shoes at ion (geox and aldo), grocery shopped for sushi ingredients, and ended up shopping for shoes (again!), this time at isetan (bought another two pairs - elyse and guess). i have not spent so much money in one day for a very very very long time. so, i guess this is forgivable :)

wednesday. returned for rcia lessons with the bro in church in the evening. it was... nice to be welcomed back. but out-of-place as i was away for too long (so did not know most people). no matter, i'm sure i'll blend in again soon enough. it's nice to be back in god's company :)

thursday. i usually get more things done when i am busy. was home the whole day but felt more accomplished today than any of the other days. managed to watch 'we are singaporeans' from the night before, an episode of glee (funeral), the season six finale of how i met your mother (can't wait for season seven now!) and last but not least, the social network (like, finally!). in between, i managed to upload all my postcards from postcrossing onto facebook and put in all the captions too! :)

friday. has not occurred yet, but the plan is to watch sharpay's fabulous adventures with donut in the morning, make sushi in the afternoon, and picnic plus macbeth with a friend at fort canning park in the evening :) sounds like a busy day ahead. so without further ado, i shall retire to my bed. will blog about friday when time allows.

goodnight world! :)
