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?!

QY>
eh? i’m abit surprised leh…how come huh, you ‘dare’ to put up this video in your blog, but that time i tagged you in some ‘Leong’ screenshots in my fb you untagged yourself. why huh? :P
too bad till now still no news on ‘Space Love’ :(
Now that was a spectacular smooooching scene :P
Goonfather>
Waaa…u haven’t seen it yet already so worked up. Wait see already how??? Hope you can keep your cool when you do see it. :P
I love the “feet” part.
I donch unnerstang! How?!
No… I just saw the “tree part”, I like it better than the feet part. Hahahah. (slow internet)..
Interesting movie. I like the idea of telling a story with no dialogue. It’s a little arty for my tastes, but (as usual) you give a good performance…
(See? I told you that you look great when you go sexy instead of cute) :oP
Wait, in the film, is the waitress the former of mr. Fish or the former lover of QY?
I watched it again… What does that touch (When the eating utensils fell) signify??? Waaa… so many questions… I want to know answers!
Hmmm… Still processing it. I’ll get back to you
OK, I get it now. Very interesting story. Winning IS everything. She got what she wanted and then she showed it off. “I have it, you don’t…go back to serving”
Nice piece.
Super 8 and 16 will live on forever if this type of quality film print comes from it.
youre too cute to be a sexy b*tch..
i like the devil in you.. :3
Mara’s playground.
Mara seem to be “playing” with everyone and everything.
Kudo to the ant, probably died in the screen >_
cont.(the opposite of > seem to eat up the remaining text)
Mara does portray evilness.
When actor portray evilness and crowd dislike, he/she wins :D
Gd job.
But I’m end up with a mixture of feelings, Sheylara and Mara is different rite?! (O_O)
Several living things were killed/hurt in the course/aftermath of filming, no?
thought provoking and interesting :)
would love to see the submitted version though, I think the b&w would have made an impact.
[...] has posted up a recent clip of herself in Mara’s Playground, which is interesting and thought-provoking. Did I mention I think she’s real pretty [...]
The Goonfather: Yaaarrrr! Avast ye scury rat!
Fish: I explained to you already lah. I untagged my Leong screenshots because cannot see my face clearly in them, so I felt there’s no point in including those pictures in my album. :P
modchip: Haha. You’re so cute… commenting even before you finish watching the film. :P To answer your question, it’s neither. But you can always interpret the film however way you like it. There’s no right or wrong. Well, if you really need to know, the title is one big clue what the film is about. :P
Mince Pye: Too bad, thench!
Jesta: Thanks! But isn’t the film a little too short to judge my performance or my looks? :P
Mike M: Thanks! :)
zield: Haha. Please tell that to Jesta. :P
Ashtar83: Cool, your understanding of the film is the closest to the actual story that the director was trying to tell.
(Yeah, don’t use angle brackets in comments cos they get read as html tags and screw up everything.)
Um… of course Sheylara and Mara are different. Why do you ask??
And no, the ant didn’t die. It was a hardy ant! Haha. After the scene, we threw it back into the grass where we found it. :P
Miss Loi: Hurt, maybe. No death. Hehe.
Ivan: Yeah, the b&w was pretty nice.
evilness in that close up smile by the tree but then again close ups not really that good eh? ur ‘look like’ age went back up to mid twenties from 15 :P
*blur*
It left me abit blur-er than I was after watching it. I THINK I understand it. I think.
Seems like u and Jan were former lovers … Then u switch camp!
Yeah… Ashtar83′s interpretation do make sense. :D
< >
My conclusion = Mara is a bisexual
Hot baby hot baby!!!! Steamy!!!!!! Can see Fish is enjoying it lol!!!
I decided to separate 2 post cuz directing at diff char… QY, you did extremely good, I feel!!!
You looked so evil, so sinister.. that sneering smile so diabolical… !!
Mara is manipulative.
She is the puppet master that controls others to be her “puppets” or “toys”. That’s why it’s her playground.
;)
Lovely! :)
Totally enjoyed the clip XD
Wah!! I finally managed to watched it!!
Fish: Cannot lar. How to keep cool? See liao lagi hot….
Eh Goonfather, so you wanna box Fish or you wanna bring QY to the beach?
Minou: Hmm… box fish are cute. I use to have 1 longhorn cowfish(boxfish family), I called it the “yellow submarine”. haha!! Yea, mabbe I shall bring her to the beach to catch box fish. =P
Wow, why am I not the actor?
I hope the ant does the scene in 1 take …. >_0
how do i insert youtube video huh?
Get the embed code binary_0011.
do i need to convert the code to hex or bin ?
Haha, nice one. The code is in HTML, no need to convert to hex or bin. Ei dude, are you into asm?
i like the vid! interesting to see a different side of you. you must have gotten fish hot and bothered! :P
[...] but she loved it! She acted just like the evil Mara in Mara’s Playground, silently and invisibly snatching away another’s sense of [...]
Sheylara,
A most facinating video. Very artistic and subject any number of interpretations.
You managed to look bored, uninterested and mysterious in less than 45 seconds.
Amazing!
Very good work!
