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?!

Alright! Finally, we can all see miss Qiaoyun in action! Thanks for the link!
Oh sweetie
You are a natural
Wind
modchip: You’re welcome. But I should be thanking you for watching my shows! ;) And don’t expect too much. This film is not very flattering on me. Haha.
Wind: Aww, thanks. :) You mean I’m really good as a chao ah lian? :P
Hi QY, first of all thanks for the short film clip, really hilarious (lol), but why your part also so short hah, really wanted to see more of u in action leh. U really can act the BAD ASS GIRL man .. plus smoke to boot. (Do u smke?, u look kinda different too..)
The main character in the film is the guy. I’m just a supporting character. Yup, actually I look different in different shows. And most of them don’t flatter me because I’m always getting character roles instead of glam, cute roles! Haha. =P
Nope I don’t smoke. Doesn’t my smoking look fake in the film? i tried to take lessons but without actually lighting the cigarette. I thought I had it nailed. But on the actual shoot, with a lit cigarette, I was totally coughing away and couldn’t suck in the cigarette smoke properly without killing myself, haha, so I ended up with a lame ass smoking scene. :P
you look different .. hehehe :)
Hey, you chewed gum! You should be procecuted! Lol. Anyways, I observed the fake smoking, you don’t exhale it either, it cuts at the precise moment. :D
I just wanna comment on those second robbers, their voice acting is kinda awkward (Just my opinion ok!) :D
I hope you post more of these stuff. It’s fun to watch. And am very thankful that subtitles were included.
er..er..er , maybe bigmac is just a simple non-artistic burger.
Can someone please tell this burger what this short film is all about ? Am using dialup so pretty expensive to watch pretty Sheylara on the video.
QY, the link you provide in the post does not work anymore, the current working link is
http://portablefilmfestival.com/video.php?video=23
misha: Yep. I always look different on TV. :P
modchip: Haha. Good one. Actually, I don’t think it’s illegal to chew gum now. It’s just illegal to import and sell, unless you’re licensed to sell medical gum. But I dunno, everyone has a different version of the actual law and I’m confused. :P
Well, I will most more videos as they come. ;)
bigmac: Um the film is about this newbie robber trying to rob a convenience store, only to found out that the store has no money and the store assistant (me) is totally not afraid of him. Well, I can’t tell anymore without giving spoilers. :P
Peter: Hey, thanks for the heads up! Appreciate it. :) Have updated my links.
Loved it. Very good short film. Registered and rated it. You really do have talent my dear… just practice your smoking :oP
i remember going for that audition…if i’d known it was you playing the ah lian i would have tried harder :P
serena… heh..
bad-ass qiaoyun..
I enjoyed the film. Nicely done.
Is that your real voice or was that dubbed over by somebody else?
Jesta: Thank you! =) You aren’t seriously asking me to practice smoking, are you? That’s as good as asking me to become a full-fledged smoker. Smoking is supposed to be addicted right? Once I start, I can’t stop? lol.
fish: Awww. =)
starmist: Haha. Yeah, that film was made so long ago, when I was still using the name Serena.
JayWalk: Glad you liked it! That’s my real voice. Dubbing is seldom done these days, unless it’s to dub different languages.
Don’t smoke too much though. It is very addictive and once hooked, it become your best buddy. Better to ‘eat’ more junky bigmacs than harmful smoke.
Always bring along bottle of water, when you want to smoke, just drink more water until you forget about smoking.
Wah…. quite lian…….. iLike…… kekekekekekeke
[...] funny short film starring local actress Qiaoyun. Hmmm… who’s this Craig Rosenthal fella who directed [...]
i like the sepia colour processing of this film.
funny script too!
bigmac: Yeah, I know smoking is harmful. But they also say second-hand smoke is more harmful right? I hang out with many smokers and always kena second-hand smoke. Sometimes I think I should just pick up smoking since I’m already getting harmed by it. At least it will make my smoking scenes more convincing!
JayWalk: I didn’t know you like lians. :P
Jayson: Haha… I didn’t notice the colour processing until you mentioned it. I think whenever I watch a fim with me in it, I am too busy scrutinising my own performance. lol.
