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?!

I like the hair in the third picture =)
Botak. :P
Anything will also look good, except the cleopatra cut. I think I already gave you a hard time mentioning it everyday in the past hahahah
LONG HAIR WITH FRINGE OFF FACE (current), picture #3…
just my opinion…
long with 2 neatly tied buns on the side…..(a.k.a Chunli)
but seriously…. long suits you better. U don’t look haggard.
What does the Goonfather say?
Shoulder length if you decide to cut it.
Well how you feel is more important, cut if u want it but not too short like britney :D
Don’t scare me away like that, unless botak is the trend among ladies now?
3rd picture or the guitar heroin one. Both looks good. :D
NO SHORT HAIR! Long, luscious locks please… Any style is good, but I prefer you with it longer in front.
must choose between the picture?
how about half big curl at end of your hair?
I think medium looks best for you! :D
I always wonder how it’s like to have bangs, how I wish I could too!
Monster,
I like the way your hair. Long or short doesn’t really matter. But….please just don’t go and have a pixie haircut. Don’t think that suit you. And on the topic of washing hair….You can do what I do when I’m lazy and dirty…..In HK sometimes I don’t wash my hair for 3 days and then I’ll pop to the salon to get it washed for like SIN 10. Saves me the hassle to washing and waiting, waiting and waiting for it to dry before I can get to bed.
i’d go for short!!!
practical and asthetics reasons :D
the fourth pic! :)
Shoulder length hair :)
Hey, how about this one: 2nd column, 3rd row!
Your pic on the 3rd row, 3rd column reminds me of this girl!
Also, the 4th row, 5th column pic reminds me of another girl, but I forgot her name. :D

Actually I like all expecially if on you… :D
but only one “LONG HAIR WITH SHORT FRINGE (past)” I’m not a fan…
long hair with fringe off face, definitely!
Oh and I don’t know how the nuffnang poll thing work sia… I vote on one blog then after that can’t vote anywhere else liao.
Daryl Tay: Interesting. There were several positive comments about that picture when I posted it up in the past. I personally don’t really like it because I think my hair looks too bushy in it. But just goes to show people’s opinions differ so it’s always good to ask for and consider a wide range of opinions!
KingMeng: Nah… I scared cold.
Mother: Yeah. And I mentioned in the past that the Cleopatra cut was to help me in my acting but now I’m moving away from acting, I guess I can go back to my old cut again. :P See how lah. Things in my life are like changing damn fast!
aig: Thanks. :) I kinda expect a majority of people to vote for “long hair with fringe off face” :P
krisandro: Hahaha. I’ll look funny as Chunli. But I don’t mind trying it out if ever anyone feels like dressing me up at her, but have to provide costume and hairdo. lol.
The Goonfather from the start always preferred long hair, long fringe. But he says he’ll accept it no matter what hair I have. Isn’t that nice?
Mike M: Okay, that’s a safe middle ground. lol.
Ashtar83: Haha. Some ladies do look good botak what. But I think more suitable for ang mohs since they have sharper features and bones.
modchip: Seems like you veer more towards short-medium length. :P And OMG please don’t look at my old pics. Those are so disgusting! haha.
Jesta: But don’t you photographers get irritated with models whose hair keeps covering their faces? Do you remember at our last photoshoot how often you had to tell me to brush my hair out of my face? lol. With a long fringe, it’ll just get worse.
yukita: No need to choose from picture lah. Just wanted to give an idea how I look with long or short hair. I did consider gentle curls at the ends! But I scared very hard to maintain. Plus hair perming very expensive right? I never really spend a lot of money on my hair tbh. :P
thiang: You should try just once in your life. If you hate it, you can always grow it back, and then you’ll stop wondering!
Monster: OH MY. I have to wash my hair at least once a day or it’ll feel itchy and gross. Plus I look gross, cos my hair flattens when I sleep. So I always have to wash and blow dry before going out or I can’t face the world. Haha.
Leaf: Haha. Thanks! You’re one of the few to support short hair! ;)
starm|st: Ahh, good! I quite like that look, too!
Wang Wang: Thanks! Although I thought you liked my short hair too! :P
arachno: Awww, thanks. Ok, I guess most people don’t like my Cleopatra hairstyle. *sigh* That is really the easiest style for me to maintain because I don’t have to put a disgusting amount of gunk of it every day to keep hair off my face. :P
tstar: Thanks for your vote!
For the Nuffnang poll, it remembers your details via cookies, so when you visit some other blog with the same poll, it already knows your details and automatically answers the questions for you. That means so you don’t need to keep answering the same the poll over and over again! It’s a good thing! :)
Lest you forget the important element of a good look is not the hair on top of the head but the person just directly underneath it.
Any hairstyle will do fine lah. ….
…. as long as not the cheesy taiwanese wedding photo (with the nonsensical english scribblings by the side) where the girl bun up her hair leaving two strands of curly chee cheong fun down the side of the face can liao.
Hi Sheylara, my first time here. I came over from Bobo’s.
I think all the hairstyle suits you. The Chunli look is totally funky. The last photo. I love those eyes of yours. Are you looking at a bright light to create that eye effect? :)
Have a good day :)
The Japanese rocker chick look’s my fav.
cut botak best.
JayWalk: What’s wrong with Taiwanese wedding curly chee cheong fun hair??? lol. quite nice mah. :P The reason you see me having lots of hair posts in my blog and asking for opinions is because people love to comment/complain about my hair. Has been like that since I was in Secondary School. Every time I cut my hair, I literally get scolded by all my friends. O_o. Seriously.
Janice: Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog! :) Sorry for the late response… been so busy. :P Anyway, to answer your question, that was just an accidental shot. I was in the car looking out the window (trying to take my photo from different angles) and it just happened at that time, the sun was shining into the window. :P
Derrick: Cool, thanks!
barberlim: Technically, “cutting” botak is a very inefficient method of hairstyling. “Shaving” would be better. You would think a barber would know that! ;)
Ok lah… I know that style is much easier to maintain… but hor… the other look SOLID… nose bleed kind one you know… hahaha :D
the one with you holding the guitar is the best
2 points for guitar heroine, yeah!
I still say medium length. Like the second picture.
