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?!

Wow Singapore ONLY female drifter!!! I also want to be a drifter but only in my dreams.
She is really cool when perfoming those moves. :)
I was disappointed…..when that last driver was taking off his helmet….I almost thought it was Goonfather!! I R SAD :(
singapore only female drifter . .. good good
so .. when is ur turn .. to be the 2nd singapore female drifter ?
hehehe
Once upon a time…I wanted to be a drifter, after watching Initial D…Once upon a time that is…
steffi .. yeah yeah . .. once upon a time :)
now leh?
Whew, that girl drifter is hot. Girl drifters, girl games… what’s next? :D
Awww… No vids of how it looks like from the inside of a drifting car?
heh! Cant deny that Amanda’s drifting skill is improving. But i think that day she felt too tired and couldnt drift much. Even my hubby think so.
and yup yup, hope to see you again at the next event. and then we can snap2 some peektures together.
but how come the CNA and NewPaper took such a long time to update the events eh? Boring siahh…
Check out the Ris Culture website soon. Perhaps next week. They gonna update the latest and hot pics from both events. Cant wait!
pardon my ignorance…do all drifters bring their steering wheels with them or is she just especially attached to her’s? :P
Hey eveyone,
thanks for everyone’s support for Sat and Sun, if not for ALL the drifters around, the show will not be possible. And, thanks Miss Muffet.. for ALL your effort to take those nice pictures and the write ups on behalf of Ris Culture….. yar Sat I was too tired, hopefully can do more drifts the next round! Any females who are keen to learn drifting, do feel free to contact me at 98460004 or you can go to http://www.risculture.com for more information….
Cheers,
Faith
Ris Culture
faith …
me interested .. BUT .. in HK :(
hi SC,
when u r back.. come for our clinics :) its very fun and exciting! :)
kriscell: Haha, yeah, really cool. I also want, but I don’t think I can… it takes a lot of skill to drift well. I can’t even drive well, haha.
Mother: Hahaha…. fooled you for a minute cos they have the same “hairstyle”? :P
SC: Hah… I don’t know. Maybe I will try if the Goonfather buys a drift car. His current car a bit hard to drift in.
Steffi: Hehe! I had the same thought while watching Initial D. I thought the female racers were so cool!
modchip: Yeah, she’s really hot! ;)
Alvin: Hmm, I think the video would be too shaky to show you anything. Haha. Anyway, by the time I got to take a ride, my camera ran out of memory already. I really need to get more memory cards!
n@tyler: Yeah I heard her say it’s takes a lot of strength to drift and her hands were tired that day. :P So CNA and TNP haven’t reported the events yet? Haha… wonder what they’re waiting for.
Fish: Hahaha… no lah. That was because she share car with her hubby. If you watch the video, towards the end, her hubby removed the steering wheel while drifting (to show how he drifts without steering). After that, when it was her turn to use the car, she had to fix it back. lol.
femaleDrifter: Hi hi! Erm… is your name Faith or Amanda? Do I need to change your name in my blog post? Anyway, thanks to you guys for organising the event. It was really cool! Hope to get to see more of your drifting in future, and maybe get a ride, too! ;)
sure.. will definitely bring the gals round next time.. u can call me Faith :)
faith .. will do if i am in singapore :) thank you in advance
Faith: Cool! I changed your name in my blog ;)
i hate it when ppl can’t spell. wot the heck is a crist? why ppl like to give themselves funny names. :P
hey darkelfin,
Crist without the “h” is still Chris, unless u don’t know how to pronounce it :) Miss Muffet is too smart t spell it wrongly… and its not funny.. its just personal… must thank Miss Muffet for spelling it right on the dote! :)
hey guys,
btw, the newpaper article was out on Sunday newpaper.. u can view it online I believe on the Electronic new paper…
Cheers… :)
DF: Don’t be nasty *smack* :P Names evolve just like people and languages and everything else. There’s nothing wrong with having variations of the same name.
Faith: I just saw the online article in TNP… no pictures :(
For people who are interested, click here to read.
