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?!

Keep the chin up? When you think you have hit the rut, things will move on the upswing. Meanwhile, it is a good sabbatical for now to take stock of life. I believe when a door closes, another opens.
so sad….. characteristics of a prima donna…. serious actress or serious ego gap to fill.
if you think you are what it takes to be in the acting arena, each role is as important as the lead….. and if you are not being cast for any… it simply means the character needs somthing that you do not have and someone else has.
get a life and move on.
Dennis: Thanks :)
ethics: I disagree. I’m not sure what industry you’re from, but let’s say you were working in an office. You started out as an intern earning $600 a month. You work hard and you help all your superiors well and help your company grow in your own little way. Seven years later, you’re STILL an intern. The company decided not to promote you or raise your pay because you do your job as an intern so well they can’t do without you in that position.
Well, I don’t think many people would even stay in that position for over a year.
People seek advancement in life. It’s the natural order or things. Can I call you a prima donna if you aspire to be a CEO? I think not.
What if you ARE a CEO, and then one day, the company decided to downgrade you to an intern because they decided they can get a better CEO and you’d serve better as an intern for the next year or so at least. If you reject, can I call you a prima donna?
I think not.
Relax… things are not that bad afterall.
I’m ok lah. Generally an optimistic person. But everybody has to let go and rant once in a while, right?
There are more stupid offer than cools ones out there. They will eventually see you for what you are. A leading lady!
And a writer…..director….editor….sound gal…..promoter…..producer.
Go Qiaoyun!!!!!!!
Ha! This post is 2 years-old and you are STILL way too busy with way too many projects and too little time. Looks like some things will never change.
Have the left you in peace yet?
