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?!
Looks like it fell from the branches above the car. At first flance, it looks like bird poop with little plants growing on it. :))
it looks er xin.
awww what a cute lil plant
“Maids washing the car”??? I think we need to start there first. Who has maids washing their car?? HA
You watched The Mist right? It’s a very miniature version of that tentacled thing…
Eww….looks gross.
Mike M, unfortunately in Singapore, the term “maid(s) washing their car” is very very common….
ALIEN!!! Hahahaha see lah, always dun eat ur vegetables, now they spawning and going to eat us!!!!
hahaha
Looks like a birdie did a poo poo and then a leaf conveniently fell on it. :-p
Maids wash cars here too, what’s surprising about that? :D
modchip: Do you do the papaya dance? lol!! Thats 1 irritating song man!!
modchip: Definitely not something that fell on the car. See the first picture. There’s like gunk splattered and stuck to the car!
dreamz: Hehe. I agree.
Vandalin: Oh, you’re sick!
Mike M: Um… what’s remarkable about maids washing cars?
Mince Pye: It looks nothing like the tentacled thing lor.
Minou: Yah, lol. I was wondering whether I should post it on my blog and gross everyone out too. :P
Ashtar83: Hahahaha. That’s the best answer so far!
Derrick: You think? But the leaf looks very rooted in the poo, doesn’t it? lol.
ewww. looks like a bunch of caterpillars.
The last 2nd picture really makes it look like a bunch of caterpillars falling down to the windowscreen.
Only that they weren’t flat that is.
The Goonfather: Haha, no. :D
Modchip: My colleague has that papaya dance song as his ring tone, and his phone rings like every hour. -.-”
The Goonfather: Are you kidding me? I also have that ringtone for my phone. Hahahah, what a coincidence.
There is no way the plant could sprout so fast overnight. Probably dropped from the sky from somewhere.
used to know a guy that has the monotone of the national anthem. every time it rings, he came reallly close to getting his phone thrown out the window
Are these your maids??? Or am I loosing something in translation?
prob something from the aquarium……n wats tat called…some aquatic plants n sand n mud n fish shat n goo which mabbe algae….
Parents do this in the hope that the children will not borrow their car, the same reasons they buy buttugly cars.
Looks like a bird did a poo poo, like Derrick wrote, but most likely I think that the bird had eaten a seed and did not digest it. So when it’s landed on the car if it’s been sitting their a while it was the perfect environment for it to grow. Wet moist feces.
The Goonfather: Now I know why you asked me those seemingly out of the blue question. Hehehehe. ;)
Hmmm. weird… It looks like a 3DSMAX model to me.
*Pinches myself*
I must have been playing too much Crysis.
