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?!

a new “fashion trend” it’s meant to resemble a “doll/bear/bunny” and you can dress it up with scarfs/badges what not.
also it’s quite “huge” and can stuff alot of things within it
comes in many colors as well. some IN THING, and oh yam some schools ban it.
eh….these bags have been ard for quite a long time alr wor….
Oh mine….those bags are scary! They look like body bags!
ok , now we know qiaoyun is a Paparazzi …..
yeah, they’ve been around for a really long time. you’re like the lady in the MRT ads – “she should have gone out more”.
omg they kill bunnies!!!
I don’t wanna carry something that’s about the same size as me!!!
It comes in different colors, and different designs also =x
it’s just some dead babies dressed in a bunny suit
Hey Goonfather!!
QY hinting for kids liao!!!
Aliens, definitely aliens. If you have ever watched the X-Files then you will be able to identify them immediately. I’m just surprised that you were able to take a picture and walk (or drive?) away.
Singapore schools are rubbish. They do not educate the kids, they only force them to comply. Most schools in Singapore are sub standard! The principals and teachers are stupid conservative morons who have no sense of adaptation. They only stick to the books without any thinking of their own!
When a student wears something out of uniform, the school not happy. And when these students buy uniform bags to carry, the school not happy. Either way you do it, it is still wrong. That is why Singaporeans are complaining about something everyday. MRT congestion, ERP, traffic congestion, no taxi, taxi price hike…. blah.. blah……
Hahah…. if a student were to write this, he/she will get suspended. Well…. What are these so called “educators” gonna do about me? ..i..
Oppss… I wrote too much. haha…. Leaf’s comments on schools banning it, triggered me. :P
Goonfather,
That’s why I chose to walk away from making children in school from moulds. I’m not made from a mould and therefore I don’t believe in making more moulds!
Goonfather,
I forgot to add this….maybe someday you and me should set up our own school!
Hey, it looks like this – Yoda Plush Backpack, it is $34.99 and will definitely make you look like a geek. :D
LOL! It’s so gothic like, I want!
Eh, those bags aren’t “new trend” lor. I have a black bear one since Dec 2005. :/ I’d say it’s a damn frickin old trend already.
lols…i guess these school girls just want to get attention or they think it is cute. i have a girl in my school also carrying the same kind of bag. maybe its the trend???
Looks like they kidnapped some bunnies.
Why everyone just focused on the bags? I think those 2 school girls are twins!! Twins with cat-like bodybags!!! Isn’t that even more bizzare??!
those bags are pretty cute. seen people carry them in orchard road before
Bags!! The things they call fashion these days!!
My daughter has a Prada. My wife has two. I have an empty $2 wallet.
tat is a bag. and is out for so long. u can find it at bugis street. and tat bag is not cheap la. waste money only. and the bag is no longer in fashion any more
Haha yeah, I used to think that bag is cute. But no, no longer now. It’s pretty weird!
omg i think that’s like my school?
i think i’ve seen those 2 girls before somewhere
in the school compound. hahaha. where
were you when you took those pictures eh?
Been around for a long time, since the days where people would carry a teddy bear or monkey at the back.
Was this mystery ever resolved? Did the aliens come? Or was it just a new designer bag? The truth is out there…
its a bunny bag well they didnl;t have it my time tooo so unfairrrrr :P
they are twins with twin black bunny bags. cute and they have same uniforms.
i agree with you smith. they are twins with same clothes and bags. :) very nice for the photographer for noticing their cute fashion.
