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?!

Wah!! Who is that girl, 2nd from the left? Damn chio lor!! How come you never ask me to give her a ride home when I go pick you up?? :P
Wor, Goonfather asked the same question I want to ask! :D
Ruok seems to have the same idea as well, as he smiles sinisterly..
i do believe that ‘s the same Mike who got roped in last minute to do a role for a half-hr musical showcase of ESTHER at esplanade concourse some weeks back…i was the narrator for that play….small world huh?
So i know all the guys in your class….worked with them b4…i know you…worked with you b4….STOP THE PRESS! Who’s that girl???? i wanna know too :P
arh.. class photo.. I miss my class too. :(
The Goonfather: Because you always complain that when Makkuro has backseat passengers, he scrapes the ground. :P
Mother: Eh? you want to ask me why I never ask you to give her a ride home? *scratch head* Haha, don’t pretend. I know you still like guys. :P I think you prefer to date Ruok than her. Wahahahaha.
Fish: Hey, that’s really cool. Actually, our industry is super small lah. Nowadays, in every production I’m in, I’m SURE to meet at least one person I know, either in the cast or crew.
uglyfatchick: Awww :( Yeah, I hate the missing feeling.
sigh, I miss my class too. Eh pls email me pics leh :P
I was waiting for Nicole to email us so I can email everyone the pics in one shot lah. :P Why don’t you call her and ask her to send you pics? Cos she took tons of photos of everyone’s performance so I’m sure she has *ahem* much nicer photos. ;)
Nice pic!
I guess people are pre-conditioned to “squeeze” up when taking group photos from young (remember those awkward class photos starting from primary school?).
Haha…this post brings back memories of an anecdote back in secondary school days…
It was among the guys and we were discussing about taking class photos and what kind of last minute poses to “sabo” the shots. A few of the brothers were in NCC or NPCC(a uniformed grp) and they suggested taking the shots in formation style – lining up arm-width apart.
Then one of the guys rebutted: Aiyo why apart like that, so stupid you all? Should gather close close to the girls, then can smell their perfume mah!
The rest: Hahahaha….-___-
Wow! That chick 2nd from the right… nice! What is her name? I somewhat agree with the Goonfather and Mother. :D
Sicarii: Haha, that’s what I thought. It’s a really amusing phenomenon. I found myself doing that some time back, and then when I look at the photos, I think I look silly, squeezing into a friend’s space while there’s so much more space on the other side of me. After realising that one day, I stopped squeezing in photos thereafter. LOL.
Stan: Hahahaa. That’s a good one. Your classmate is a natural comedian!
modchip: Her name is Debbie Wong. She’s a model/actress/host. Yep, I agree with everyone. She’s totally beautiful! ;) I’ll post a bigger picture of her next time! ;)
eh how come u got a bigger picture of her? o.O
Same photo but higher res so bigger lor. :P
True posers never listen to the person with the camera :)
