I don’t really like singing that much. But it’s a necessary evil.
My fingers hurt from playing the guitar after a long hiatus.
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 look so beautiful with the guitar. :D
Practice makes perfect… My cliche for the day. :o) Anyway, I’m sure that you will be able to join the ranks of the acting talents that have made it in the music biz… like Bruce Willis :oP
yeah .. jiejie QY learning how to sing.. next time if Mish goes to singapore .. jiejie sings for Mish ok? I also love to sing!!
modchip: Thanks! :D
Jesta: I don’t know if you mean to be sarcastic or not. But in Singapore, artistes are sadly required to be multi-”talented”. If you can only act, nobody’s gonna bother with you. I mean the people who matter who doles out the jobs.
misha: Not really learning to sing… yet. Just practising only. :P We can sing together if you ever come to Singapore! :)
What? No YouTube? How can?
Got video?? ;-P
btw you look sweet in the pic…
Coolman, you got the musician look as well, paste it on an album & it should sell well. BTW, how did u learn to handle the guitar, do tell
I tried learning the guitar on my own…decided that I didn’t like it, lol! It didn’t feel comfortable. Hand and fingers were hurting the next day.
No pain no gain – you’ll really have to endure finger pains when learning to play guitar. I myself learned to play it by myself, took about 1 week, now my fingers are immune to the pain. Currently, I’m now a bass player. :D
Ni Lai Tan, Wo Lai Chang. Ke Yi Ma? :P
eh u dun like singing meh? thats not wat u told me before.
JayWalk: Haha. I was thinking of making a very crude MTV but need more time to do that! :P
arachno: Thanks! ;) I’ll definitely have a video some time but not so soon. Hehe.
Starstruck: Thanks for the compliments! I actually learnt how to play the guitar from an aunt when I was very young. I also took a year of classical guitar lessons at a music school. But guitar playing isn’t quite a passion for me, so my skill never progressed and I’m still a lousy player. Haha.
Steffi: Yeah, it hurts. You have to keep playing diligently for weeks before your skin hardens and the hurt stops. :P
modchip: Not only when you’re learning to play, when it also hurts when you start to play again after not playing for a long time. :P
fish: Er… dowan lah. My guitar playing sucks. I’m actually better at singing, even though my singing also sucks. Haha.
Ruok: I never said I don’t like singing. I said I “don’t really like singing that much”. It means I like it but not enough to pursue it in favour of acting. If I’m given a choice, I’d rather act.
Rock on, sister!!!!!!!!!!
See, you’re even thinking like a rock star!!!
