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?!

Hmmm….. I think the white outfit was good, though I heard a lady behind me saying that they shouldn’t wear white. She said it just when 1 of the dancers was bending over and u can see the white shorts turning translucent and…………………….. Not there right? Then u missed out on it, and I will not say what it was. Muahahahahaaaaa…………………
Sacre bleu!
C’est Cirque du Soleil!!
:P
Hmmm… pole dancing… isn’t that…? Nahhh… can’t be.
they dance to slow music? i thought pole dancers dance to sexy music like Sexy Back or something. lol.
maybe they are a different genre of pole dancers
Hmmm… That lady in the foreground looks rather fleshy. But I like!
Anyway, does one really need to go to a school to learn pole dancing? That sounds so… so… so… PAP.
i think they need to lose some weight.
Slow-paced pole dancing. But not easy nonetheless. In the inverted position, must ‘kiap’ the pole tight enough not to slide down too fast. But also not too tight or else stuck high high up. kekeke…
Those girls should pay us to watch them dance. Totally unsexy. Disgusting.
The Goonfather: So you really enjoyed their white “costume”?
JayWalk: Eh? Kong simi???
modchip: What?
Nanny Wen: I asked The Goonfather the same question, lol. And he said they DO have slow pole dancing in the states also.
alvinaloy: Why not? Pole dancing is a dance form what. People go to a school to learn ballet, salsa, hip hop, etc, so why not pole dancing? Every dance has its rules and techniques so must learn properly mah.
yuanz: lol… but some guys like them that way. like… alvinaloy. :P
lancerlord: Yeah I think it looks really hard and you’ve got to have really strong muscles.
chae.wan: Haha, sorry you didn’t like the dance!
i would get it if the slow music was sexy or something.
but.. it wasn’t! it’s something i listen to when i’m sad. :(
so their pole dancing made me very sad.
Hmm Goonfather, you mean they crapped while wearing that “costume”??
Eeeeewwwww………
Hmmm. Pole dancing should NOT put the audience to sleep.
Better music. And the dancers need to practice more…
Pole dancing has never really done it for me, but they look quite polished… Maybe Singapore is finally opening up? (But then they wouldn’t allow Sir Ian to get naked for King Lear, so maybe not)
gimme belly dancers any day…they are “supposed” to be a little fleshier anyway :P
Mother: How else do u think they can lubricate the pole to slide down? :P
Nanny Wen: I thought the music made their dance look very sexy leh. Different tastes :P
abraxis: Haha, I agree they have to practise more. But they didn’t put me to sleep. I was quite impressed with the performance.
J: I think you’re the only person who thinks they’re polished. Singapore IS opening up, but everything got conditions one. haha.
Fish: I think pole dancing is more sexy.
Mother and Goonfather: You two are gross!~!!
Translation French-English.
Oh my gawd!
It’s circus of the sun! Read here
and
Watch here.
seriously unsexy. urgh. pole dancers from bodytalks beats them hands down.
JayWalk: I know Cirque du Soleil… but what has it to do with this video?
starmist: Really? I want to watch! I like watching pole dancing. I think it’s sexy!
yeah, if it’s done nicely haha…
whenever Linna from Bodytalks dance, i’ll stare open-mouthed at her. erm. not that i’m swinging that way.
Sadly what was originally meant to be a sexy dance turned out more like a circus act. Hence the video for comparison.
starmist: haha, i know what you mean. i’ll probably stare open-mouthed too if they’re really as good as you say! ;)
JayWalk: There’s only one problem with comparing them with Cirque du Soleil. CdS is a world-renowned class act and you have to pay damn a lot of money to watch them perform. Need I say more? lol.
These dance school are starting to pop up all over the US now. it’s starting to be the exercise trend here now. I have family members who have taken classes in pole dancing……..eeewwwwww!!!
Mike, that sounds really interesting.
I just realized that they are dancing to “In The Arms of am Angel”.
Who pole dances to that?
Modechip: You gotta see this stuff. It’s the crazy here. Women can go to any mall and pick up a home kit. It’s like an entire generation of pole dancers. What do you want to bet there will be a TV show here called “So You Want to be a Pole Dancer” in a few months??
Well, I thought the poledance with that song was really sweet!
For your info… pole dancers always wear little because then they have more skin contact with their pole. This is especially important when they have to hang on their pole or do invert stunts…. Not becoz guys like it… but of coz there are some guys who love to see pole dancers wearing as little as possible…
I’m a pole dancer myself so i noe…
Nanny: pole dance can be to almost any form of music… It’s up to the dancer to decide how to bring the right kind of taste out to those who are viewing the dance… Pole dancing is an art… It’s not entirely just sensuality…
The dancers in the vidz are likely students… the choreography is great with full of nice sexy moves however… sadly they cannot bring out that flavour in their dance… they in fact look stiff… Perhaps they are either not used to perfoming to an audience or perhaps they are too shy… To me that’s a flop…
Should watch Linna Tan dance on the pole… go search on youtube for jitterbug 5th birthday bash vid and u noe wad i meant… thats why she’s the pole-fessional…. =)
