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?!

Jason Ho: Oh, I didn’t know you need flash to watch YouTube videos. Well, later then. :P Thanks in advance for watching!

i did watch last year’s though, my fav episode was the boy and grandpa connecting through same passion, soccer.
thanks for posting this compilation. the kid playing sam is so cute. :D
btw jason, that sucks man. seriously.
Ok what, not that dorky. And this being the first thing that I have seen you in, I felt that your acting is very natural. Not too try hard or wooden like some other Singaporean shows that I have caught glimpses of. :)
Wah.. very pretty leh, the golden retriever :-p
Alamak, Benji’s such a lovely dog and Sam didn’t like him.
No exception eh? Serious?

Ooooh Tracy!
Youtube clips are encoded in FLV which is a flash video format.
Jason Ho: You can goto http://www.keepvid.com, paste the youtube link and then download the flv clip onto your PC. Thereafter watch the clip offline with FLV Player which is available and free for download on the internet. There is a link at http://www.keepvid.com to download.
Anyway, being away from SG means I have no access to local TV which means no opportunity to see you act. Ahh.. finally a clip to satiate my curiosity as to how you would turn out on TV.
Pretty good, if I may say so myself.
More please.
malique: Cool, you study at NAFA? Well, I didn’t watch any other episodes in either seasons except mine. I don’t really watch TV. Haha.
mooiness: Thanks! That sounds very reassuring. :)
Starstruck: Haha. THe golden retriever is a boy! :P
Ed: Heh cool. You got the joke in the show. :)
Smallapple: Huh? Did I have specs in the kids show? Don’t have wat. Hey, thanks for sharing your photos! Wow, your 11 fingers are really cool! Can you move the extra one? :P
modchip: Thanks for watching! :D
yh: Thanks for your comments! I wish I had watched the other episodes, too.
nadnut: If you want, I can pass you the entire episode when we meet next. ;)
Eric: Aww, thanks for your kind words. But I really don’t think I’m anywhere near Zoe Tay’s league. :P
Ruok: You are so goshdarned predictable. :P
JayWalk: Thanks for watching and for your comments! Will post more when I can. ;)
Zoe Tay… is she/he a local actor/actress?
hahah then i think i see wrongly ba.. haha..see u just walk pass few sec nia… nv see clearly.. eh.. my extra finger cant move it… but it do have bone.. tats y i say its useless haha
Nah… you’re not super nerdy or super ugly in the show.
To me anyway you look good lah… :)
Hmmm, why do the video look squashed? Due to conversion? Anyway, hope you upload more soon! Thanks! :D
modchip: She’s only the most famous actress in Singapore. :P She’s known as the Queen of Caldecott Hill, Caldecott Hill being the place where Singapore’s only TV station is situated.
What do you mean the video looks squashed? In what way, vertical or horizontal?
Smallapple: Yeah, I know. My scene was really short in Episode 2! :P There’ll be more in Ep 4, so watch out for it!
arachno: Aww, thanks! That’s nice to hear. :)
“She’s only the most famous actress in Singapore.” — Wahhhh!! I didn’t know, sorry! :D
It looks squashed horizontally.. the opposite of kung-fu movies that look squashed vertically (kung-fu masters look tall and thin).
modchip: I don’t think it’s squashed. It’s just been given a 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen effect) so that it looks like a movie. :P
QY you look so geekly cute!!!!
Wang Wang: Thank you, dear! :)
This is honestly very good! :D Wow…
Miccheng: Thank you! Glad you liked it. :)
This is so cool! Nice lar…I wanna see the whole thing…
