I yearn for speech, but I am mute.
I yearn for flight, but I am cripped.
I yearn for life, but I am dead.
I yearn for laughter, but my heart is hollow.
I yearn for friendship, but my soul is vacant.
I yearn for rebirth, but my womb is barren.
I yearn for warmth, but my flesh is frozen.
That’s how it is.
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?!
*sigh* So pretty and yet so sad…
Wah sure bo. thought you got a bf that can make you very happy??
Your blog is sucha good read that you left me no choice but to link you up :D ….
All the best man :)
Hmmm…… Riddles?
1st is potato!
;) Cool riddles.
The 3rd is an ostrich or a dodo.
hey there… i was just going through some blogs and randomly saw this poem of urs… kinda hit the right chord with me… ciao
I think 2nd is River. I have a mouth and I can’t speak.
I year for chicken but my meal is a crab.
Jesta: An apple which looks red and shiny and juicy on the outside is of no use if you break it open and find worms inside.
JokeDiary: I never said I’m not happy. Haha. But I’m not saying you’re wrong, either. One can be blind and still happy and yet wish not to be blind.
The Goonfather: KNS lah!!
modchip: You don’t understand KNS, so… damn you!! Haha.
But it’s quite funny, I must admit.
Rodlie: Hey, thanks. :) I’m glad someone is feeling the same way.

I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free. – Nikos Kazantzakis
Hahaha, the rabid wolverine, nice one! :D
Truer words have never been spoken (or in this case, written).
But the thing that keeps many of us going…….
Hope
Never loose sight of that.
Or it could just a a very clever riddle…….in which case, you are a very clever lady…….:)
Anyone (apart from you) who tells me that you are a rotten apple with worms inside is going to have to get used to eating through a straw for a while :o)
You really are your own worst critic.
its just about the irony of life… life is filled with sonnets of irony. sometimes dont you feel like what exactly you are doing here on this planet… u might have the best eminities at ur disposal but still there is a emptiness… thats irony my friend.
i yearn for the only one.. and i worked hard for it..
precious: Haha…. but that is so easily fixed. Just make cute eyes at your bf… lol
Ashtar83: Very good ah? *clap clap clappity clap* :P
MikeM: There are some things that hope can’t buy. Can a paralysed man ever get up and walk? No. That’s what I’m talking about. In some cases, there is no hope. :( And no lah, it’s not a clever riddle so I’m not a clever lady. Haha.
Jesta: Hwah… are you going to beat me up? :P
Rodlie: Yeah, life is full or ironies. Please let them happen to other people. Haha.
zield: That’s great. I hope you get it.
Poor, poor Qiaoyun. There is always hope.
Does the blind man not hear more acutely?
Does the deaf woman not see more vividly?
Does the paralyzed man not have a sharper mind?
The one thing that is constant with the human condition is hope.
It keeps us alive. It keeps us going. It keeps you going.
If you loose hope, you have lost everything.
As for being a cleaver lady. You are very cleaver. Just promise you will never loose hope.
