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?!

Wah cool! Surprise, I know 2 names on the poster above. You and Debbie. Haha.
And recently my bro sent me a clip that he composed the soundtrack to as well. What a surprise, I saw you in it. :)
Think I’ll go and watch this one. :)
uzyn: Cool! How did you know Debbie? Just to clarify, though. Debbie won’t actually be performing. Her role is to design a set for one of the actors.
What was the clip you saw me in? I don’t think I know your brother!
Interesting! Might go watch this :D
Qiaoyun, jia you ok!
ARGH!!!! I’m not in town!!!!! can someone video it down???
Yours is not going to suck. What you put into it is what you will get out of it. Give it you all and you will get it back ten fold.
I agree with arachno! Please make a video of this! :D This is going to be interesting… I like the “3 Women Meet 3 Men” lines. :D
congrats on landing this role! And yeah, theatre is like that. And then some. :P
tskie: Thanks for your support! Appreciate it. :)
arachno/modchip: Sorry, I don’t think it’s possible to videotape this. If theatre shows were videotaped and distributed, then nobody would pay to watch the actual show! That’s why you never see full Broadway plays and “live” performances like that on DVDs. :P
MikeM: Well, I’d have to disagree with your point a little bit. Yes, it’s true that hard work produces result. But it also depends on talent. For example, I’m sure William Hung worked very hard for his American idol audition and his first album and his first movie. But he still sucked, lol. I mean, I don’t want to be unkind, but that’s the brutal truth. And, to be honest, there are areas in which I keep sucking at no matter how hard I work at them. :P
Ruok: Thanks! I’m really excited about this. And I swear… I will go for Short and Sweet 2008 audition. :P
Qiaoyun: Maybe do it on the last show… how??? would really like to leh… if really cannot :(
[...] the day slaving over my script for 3 Men Meet 3 Women, instead, because I needed to cough it out, [...]
arachno: Heh, you know cameras and videocameras aren’t allowed in theatres? (Like in cinemas also?) :P
Can’t fault me for trying right… :)
arachno: Of course not. heheh. :P
QY: Wish you all the best in the coming performance. :)
arachno: Thank you very much!
