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, cool. I want that com too leh. But do you really need and use the Raid Features?
Get a kick ass graphics card!
:D
so goooooood 320gb!!
sheesh. i hate blue light. maybe cos i have astigmatism, so it hurts me to look at really bright things. esp blue lights. my ex’s computer was like urs. n it really irritated me esp at nights. haha.
Wah, super awesome rig. Your two 320GB HDD – you got it setup with RAID mirroring? Or you just like massive amounts of storage? :)
congrats on your proud purchase. it seems to be a great pc, you should be proud of it. The cool blue neon light.
btw, i think you should get a graphic card and of course, increase the RAM to 2GB, you should be able to feel the difference.
way cool ur pc!!!
i want tt dream keyboard and mouse of urs too ..saving $ now haha
JokeDiary: Yup. I do. :P
yh: Well, what is kick ass? Is the 8800 GTS kick ass enough?
Daphne Maia: Haha, poor thing. I sleep with blue lights (and some red lights) all around my room every night with electronics and appliances that never get switched off. :P Kinda used to it already.
mooiness: Not raid mirror, just raid stripe. I don’t really need so much storage, but I like speed. :P
Leonard: Thank you! My RAM is already 2GB lah. And graphic card will get in a few months’ time when the price drop. Hehe.
amd: Yeah, the mouse and keyboard so chio, right? But I dunno if I’ll buy them in the end… too damn expensive man. :(
I am jealous… lol nice machine
It’s nice to see you returning to your RPGs after so long. Don’t bother with the Microsoft stuff, just go straight for the Razer gear. I can recommend the Copperhead mouse. I do like look of the keyboard (I use an old ordinary one), but I am saving my pennies for an iPod Touch.
I’m not the best with graphic cards but I think 8800 is pretty cool. I think.
And actually 1.3K for this pretty lil machine is not too expensive eh!
Those gigantic fans seem bigger than my head !
This machine must be pretty ‘hot’ to have two big ‘fans’.
qiaoyun: of course both of them super chio!!! expensive not, for me i find ways to finance it … even if i have to take loan whhahaha (exxagerated)
wa, cooool….. *drool
does this come with the girl on the left? ;-) hahaha
Good looking rig… errr… I mean PC :D
Time to invest in some good speakers! I bought a Bose Companion 3 and loved it.
Two HDDs? You running RAID 0 ah?
*drool*
really nice stuff, 1.3k… pretty decent pricing :D
OOT a bit… you were at Bugis on Saturday afternoon for the Halo3 thing werent you? Sitting at Mac with the rest of the Marine Officers, facing the carpark entrance? :)
That’s so cool.
That is one fierce rig man…I am planning to get one soon..perhaps year end when my bonus arrives. BTW, where did you get your rig from and eh..did you fix it urself?
For a girl hor, you sure are damn bladdy beng…..
iLike…. kekekekekeek…..
Xiriss: Heh, thanks.
Jesta: It’s nice?? Who’s the one forever giving me crap about being addicted to games? :P Anyway, I don’t really need gaming keyboards and mice cos I don’t play FPS. You don’t need all that much precision and control or anti-ghosting, or whatever, for MMORPGs. I just want the Razer ones for vanity, cos they’re pretty. lol.
yh: YUp, the price is really quite good. I got a little bit of discount cos I bought it off a friend’s shop. :P
bigmac: Haha. They’re not that big. My rig needs two fans cos of the overclocking and raiding.
amd: Haha, cool. Tell me when you manage to acquire the dream items! ;)
kerr: Hello! Hehe.
arachno: HAhahahaa. Very funny. :P :P
Alvin: Hmm, really? I’m never much of an audiophile, to be honest. As long as it has decent clarity and a decent bass, I’m happy. :P
Derrick: Yup, RAID 0.
xinyun: Thanks! Yeah, I’m quite happy with the price!
Rykarx: Haha, why do you keep bumping into me… but you never come up and say hi! :P
modchip: :)
Jason Ho: I got it from my friend’s new shop at Sim Lim. It’s called Lawgic, at #03-02. And The Goonfather fixed it for me. Haha. I can’t fix my own comps.
Forgot to comment on how beautiful you look in that photo. Very innocent looking. :D
[...] from her postSheylara @ QianYun Part-time Actress Part-time Model Freelance Writer Blogger Video and Computer [...]
You must be a very geeky actress to purchase all these nerdy things. Have you make yourself a avatar in Second Life ?
Can we have a photo of you with your car in your blog. With your license plate erase, in case people use your number to buy toto, haha. That’s will be cool. Beauty And the Car.
Why not come out some interesting theme photo like:
- Beauty and the PC
- Beauty and the Dog
- Beauty and the ‘Whatever’ etc
and place it into 12months of calendar, haha, and then distribute out.
That will be wonderful …. haha. Could be a hot seller/download.
Worth trying, afterall what’s internet’s main function ? To do viral marketing is one main use.
Try it and you may not know what come next. You might just be the next 100 beautiful people in FHM….
a girl with a gaming attitude…
NICEEE!
what kind of games are you playing. WOW is one, Dota?
ei your mobo can suppose dual graphic cards and you are using an on-board chip?? you will see the difference even on WOW lah.
modchip: Aw, thanks! That’s sweet. =)
bigmac: Haha. Yes I’m geeky and nerdy. I have a Second Life account, but I didn’t enjoy it so I only logged in twice and then got tired of it.
Photo of me and my car? Sounds like a good idea! Will get around to it sometime. ;)
But I’ll pass on the “Beauty and the…” calendar. That sounds too egoistic. lol. But thanks for the suggestion. :P
Indra: Hello! Thanks for visiting and commenting! :) For computer games, I only really like MMORPG. I don’t like FPS or RTS. So, currently I’m playing WoW, but I’m also hoping to go back to EQ2 when I have more time. :)
aberwyn: No lah, not using onboard chip. Anyway, will probably be getting new graphics card end of the year. :P
Haha… Goonfather is showing his Coolermaster fanboi-ness in that rig ;)
The Habu is about $95 now and its a real kickass mouse. Reclusa is a bit pricey at $108 now, but seriously, I think it will drop. You probably do not need it for WoW, but hte macro will kick something in FPS.
Winston Avalon: Yeah I think I’ve seen cheaper prices somewhere… but I can’t remember exactly where. Many places still sell both at $119 each. :(
Well, I know I don’t really need them cos I don’t play FPS, that’s why I didn’t get them right away. They’re objects of desire! :P
What a nice machine! Hope it’s still working well fro you.
Hmm, I guess it’s not now. Dang computers!!!
Are you running Vista?
You are going to need 4gigs of Ram for graphics intensive games. Plus, you should upgrade your graphics card to > 9600 series Nvidia with 1 gig video ram. You want to offload as much of the graphics computations to the graphics card as possible.
Being a serious gamer as you have claimed to be, I think you really need serious hardware for it. =)
JMHO
