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?!

So is all the people in the movie Singaporean acting as foreigners?
JokeDiary: No, the others are actually real foreign talents. I’m the only fake. Haha.
Very, very, very cool!!! You look so cute!!!
I like the one where you look over the LCD monitor so cute!!!!
I also have to add that the transportation in Singapore is also very cool. At least the trains. Singapore has the best metro transit system I have ever been on. Where else can you watch TV commercials and video clips on train screens??!! Plus, stops like Orchard Road and Chinatown are right in the heart of each place.
And the shots of Sentosa are very cool too. I remember being chased by a wild monkey on that island…..twice…..by the same monkey.
Singapore is like am amusement park!!
You play a very good interactive digital media designer! :)
Very nice, professionally created stuff you got there! ;)
That’s a cool accent that they’ve given you but you were supposed to be from China?! :)
Suddenly I just feel pity for the foreigners who would decide to migrate here after watching this video…. *LOL*
nice video .. and jiejie u look great!
is this related to the one that you send me the other day.. ??
eheh..i think the video look boring … not too attractive to mi? singaporean lol
You look great but I don’t know why they showed the clothes hanging out to dry on HDB blocks.
There are many things I love about Singapore – the systems, the governance, the shopping, the opportunities, it’s endless.
However, my number one annoyance is knowing that my neighbor can have full view of my laundry. I don’t like looking at my neighbor’s cheap cotton panties either.
In contrast, I can get a nice seaview from the front of the block. Wouldn’t that be more appealing?
Mike M: Thanks for saying that! :) But what were you doing getting chased by wild monkeys?? Haha. What did you do to the monkey? :P I was staying at Beaufort Hotel in Sentosa once when I saw the hotel staff feeding the wild monkeys there. That was so cute! :)
arachno: Haha, that sequence so fast you also can catch! :P It’s like split-second then no more already.
modchip: Thanks!
mooiness: Hahaha. I don’t know. But I think even mainland Chinese can have American accents, wat, depending on where they learn English. :P
Shelly: lol… do you think Singapore is that bad? ;)
misha: Thanks, princess! ;)
zield: Oh, cool, so you did get my postcard! :) No, it’s not related! hehe.
smallapple: lol, it’s not supposed to be watched by Singaporeans.
precious: I think the clothes hanging out to dry is a novelty that will attract foreigners because it’s different. I mean, people are always interested in customs that they don’t find in their own countries.
Of course, personally, I don’t like laundry hanging out, too. I also find it disturbing to have my clothes out in full view of strangers, plus you don’t know what rubbish will land on your clothes outside.
Heh… caught u stealing a look at the camera a few times. :D
hmmm but if i see it quite boring? den wat abt the other country’s dude.. hahha
Miccheng: I never! It just looks that way because the camera happened to be where I wanted to look. Haha. Oh wait, some of those are intentional. I was supposed to look at the camera wor.
smallapple: I don’t know. I think it’ll be interesting for people who are genuinely interesting in visiting or working in Singapore.
lol.. yah.. they need to have voice acting from others.. otherwise know already liddat must be Singaporean.. hahaha.. *peace*
nicely done btw..
jroy18: Haha, yeah. Anyway, thanks for dropping by :)
That dang Monkey wanted my steamed bun. I was walking down the road and out of the bushes this monkey came at me. It was cute at first, but when it came to the bun, I wasn’t giving it up. So I ran away. He ran after me.
I could swear I could hear the other monkey’s laughing at me as I stood on top of a picnic table shooing a monkey away and stuff a bun into my mouth.
He came at me on the way back too.
Mike M: Awww… I would have given up my steamed bun! I love feeding animals and watching them eat! It makes me feel so happy. Hahaha. But that’s pretty funny what happened to you!
