Why can I never get a straight answer from a man? We’re planning a trip to Guernsey (an island) dead early tomorrow morning, so I need to know what time we have to leave so I can set my alarm.
Me: What time do we have to leave home?
Piers: No earlier than an hour before the time we have to be there – which is an hour before we sail (6 am).
Took me 11 minutes of questioning, during which time I got more riddles, before I received the answer: 4 am.
Piers “invented” a really delicious Asian snack combo: Prawn crackers with hoisin sauce! So proud of him!
I also found this awesome lemongrass-flavoured prawn crackers at Tesco. From Netherlands, but makers were Indoneisan settlers. Tastes so great when you dip into hoisin sauce (sparingly)!
Yeah I know my photos are missing from my blog header. Looks very funny, doesn’t it?
Nanny Wen (aka Buggy Wen aka Davienne) says it reminds her of Harry Potter’s moving picture people.
Guess my photos are taking a break. They’ve gone into hiding because it’s been raining a lot in England and the weather forecast says it’s going to hail tomorrow.
IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER!
Crazy or not.
I thought I’d be in discomfort for a year because I was finding it impossible to get used to Invisalign in my mouth. But just 11 days into it, I hardly feel it anymore.
Was playing on my iPad before bed last night when I suddenly couldn’t feel plastic in my mouth and for one horrifying moment, thought that I had forgotten to put my aligners back on after dinner, which was ages ago.
Turned out it’s just my mouth has started to adapt.
Quote of the day
Me: I want a pet duckling!
Piers: LOL why!!!
Me: Cos they’re so cute.
Piers: All baby things are cute! Except babies.
A transport provider in the UK just sent me an e-mail asking me to take part in an online survey to help improve services.
So I go there and answer two questions (age and last time I used the service) and they say:
“Thank you for your time. Unfortunately, you do not qualify for the survey as this time around we are looking to survey our more senior customers (over 60) only.”
WTF fail.
Was googling the difference between biscuits and cookies and got linked to a Yahoo! Answers page. This guy’s answer made me LOL.
“The difference between the biscuit and the cookie is the Atlantic.
Plus, American biscuit more like a savory scone
Plus English biscuit is an American cookie.
Plus English or American cookie is in your computer to do stuff that no one really understands.”
Being too ambitious (or greedy). Two heaped bowls of ricotta and spinach tortelloni in bolognese sauce, with six sausages and three baby zucchinis thrown into the mix. A roll of garlic bread and a bottle of wine. Delicious!
Yay I got white tulips! My favouritest flowers. :)
England has the most beautiful flowers. Tulips and roses in white with pale pink. Gerberas in strawberry milk pink. Makes me happy!
Just read in detail about foot binding in ancient China. I always thought they just wrapped up the feet during infancy to stop them from growing.
But, no! They wait till the girl is 4-7 years old, then break her toes and arch bones so that the toes can curl under the sole. Without anaesthesia.
After wrapping the monstrous creation tightly, the girl is then forced to walk on her broken feet so her weight can help crush them into shape. The feet are crushed and rebound daily for like two years! WTF is wrong with people?!

white’s for ya to see the impurities clearer.
life would be easier, insane.
Your new blogskin has made the blog look like a white-padded cell! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aberwyn: Why would a crazy person want or need to see impurities clearer?
Mother: YEAH! Welcome to my padded cell!! *hug Mother*
it’s easier management for the care givers, not for the-ones-who-view-the-world-differently.
Oh. Okay. :P But white is harder to clean also leh.
Looks great! Nice and simple. =)
why is raining?? =(
Good blog skin and good English you have here, ^_^
The only downside points is that: my eyes got abit of irritatiness dealing with the extra glaring from your white blog skin….
Hey
Love your new layout…
Pity I am not in Singapore, how can I see your adverts and serial drama?
White is good… blends in better at the office, can disguise as a Word doc…
Crashwire: thanks :)
Dav: Actually, it was accidental. The background is a screenshot from SWG. I tried superimposing a few nice scenary screenies on the header and it turned out that this one looked the most pleasing. And I think rain kinda fit the blue theme of the layout. So rain lor. I think my photo doesn’t go. I need to find a sad photo :(
Starlandliu: Hmm… but isn’t white the most common colour on the Internet? I think more than half of all Internet pages are white leh. So.. people should be used to the glare … heh.
Wind: Thanks! :) I will try to upload my stuff, but it’s a bit hard. Either I don’t have the appropriate software to do a specific conversion, or I can’t get hold of a copy of the stuff myself.
Mince Pye: Now we know…

QY.. I prefer the old one.. not saying white is not good.. but the rain is depressing…

i always go your blog cuz your blog makes me happy.. now i feel a little sad… but i still lub u all same!!! *hug*
Rain is good. It washes away impurities and dirt. :P Sunshine comes after the rain mah. I love your latest post! But sorry to make you sad! Don’t sad. Come, let me lub you deep deep!
You can check out my black blog skin. I used that because some of my old readers complained that the white is too glary until their eyes goes “pops”….
I wonder about the people in the white padded cell, whether they are truly insane? or it’s just a failure to communicate.
Someone once said that the difference between genius and madness is success. Craziness and eccentricity is the amount of money in the bank account. That is very possibly true.
Star: My old blog was black. :P I don’t want to go back there.
Vandalin: I think that is very true. :P Money makes the world respect you and bow down before you.
