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?!

You know that could be an interesting side-job. :)
The article is here.
Bravo!!!! Girl,
that is definitely an article worth writing….but i can’t personally relate to it cos…ain’t nobody’s ever recognised ME on the streets LMAO….*sign*…says as much about my “career” huh?
OK…so i’ve had some “looks” thrown my way once in a while, but one never knows if it’s “recognition” or “something-directly-behind-me”…and lest i’m looking for a fight, i hardly “look” back.
Anyways, keep up the good work…ie, acting, blogging AND writing! :)
A good read if I may say so.
Thanks. I enjoyed the piece.
gratz! :D
just read the article… lol, u know what, I think I “enjoy” my sightings more than you… at least when I get recognised, pple can tell me which show they saw me lol.
On another note, when I’m recognised, I never deny it. I just make sure its really me they saw, and not someone who looks like me lol.
Mooiness: Yeah, it is. I quite enjoyed writing the article! :)
Fish: But you know what, EVERYONE in the industry knows you. :P Maybe you’re less known in the streets because you do more indies and short films which never get shown to the general public, but you’re definitely well-known in the circle. ;)
JayWalk: Thanks for reading!
Ruok: Haha… maybe people tend to remember “bad guy” faces more so they can watch out and beware? lol…
I loved your article! Illustrates the situation of all struggling actors very well, I must say.
GANBATTE NE! I believe one day you’ll land a high-profile role in a high-profile production. Perseverence is key! I’m rooting for you. :)
actually, I only get recognised for my good guy roles. Hur hur.
Shelly: Thanks, dear! :)
Ruok: Ok, fine. lol. So signed any autographs yet?
Yeah, the banks love my autograph… they keep asking for it on a regular basis …
Girl,
you are too kind…a simple paragraph from you puts HOPE back in my heart….Dang! no wonder you’re a writer! :D
Sis: awesome article, best one you wrote in years! (oops not that many years, you’re still 18!)
Ruok: ruoky, actually, I always recognise you as “the rapist”…..not that being that is a bad guy in my books!
Woohoo! Congrats on going international, gal! :P
And you just became the only Singaporean actress to appear on the big screen in the Golden Horse Awards (screening on Ch U now! :P)
But hor, I almost couldn’t recognise you (oops!) cos of your specky aunty look… Now maybe THAT is the root of the problem that led to your above article… Hehehe! :P
Edric
Ruok: Haha. I give out my autographs to cashiers the most. lol.
Fish: I wasn’t being kind, just telling the truth. ;)
Chong: Thanks, sis!
Edric: Haha, thanks. So did INS2 win any awards? Anyway, don’t think I’m the only. Didn’t Megan Zheng win an award for Homerun few years back?
bother doesn’t it guess me. I ,
@Sheylara: Hey, you gotta check out this Shery’s comment. Its like Yoda on Twin Peaks, hehe:)
Hey, right RN, you are, great observation. Haha! Yes, hmmm.
One of those spam bots. Haha. My spam filter catches thousands a day but some still get through.
@Sheylara: Spam bots, eh? Hmm, the more I learn about managing blogs, the more interesting I find it. Thanks for sharing:)
@Peaches Mode: Out loud, I laugh. Very good, your imitation is:)
Why don’t you start a blog, too? Your language is pretty good. You should enjoy writing. :P
@Sheylara: Hehe, thanks for the compliment:) To be honest, I enjoy commenting, interacting and supporting a lot more than actually coming up with things to write. And stumbling upon your friendly and pleasant blog is really great! You know the saying: “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t do or teach, post encouraging comments…”:)
