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?!

Hmmm…

:p
modchip: Yes?
Rinko: Oh, but of course. :) I’ll bet I wouldn’t have thought anything of the toy if I had never seen it first on FAIL blog. :P
Sham: Er.. ok I’ll buy one for you if I ever come across it ok? But.. but… what do you want it for? :P
@sheylara: My BOB broke-up and left. So I need a new BOB.
Epic FAIL
Parenting FAIL
FAIL in FAILing
hahaha….
Anyways, does it vibrate?
I can’t resist but to add this:
S** Education WIN!
i want da complete collection!!
Okay. So what so special about that thing? The design is acceptable for me but very cute la.. keke~ :)
Why do I think it looks like a vibrator? And a damn ugly one I must add!
omg…hahahaha…this so remind me of something.
interesting… but as a toy for kids? hmm….
I have also been reading the Fail blog and having lots of laugh.
This toy must have 2 uses, one for the kids to play with and the other for mommy or big sis to play with. ;P
Advance Sheylara! =D
What’s this toys all about except it looks like a sex organ?
@hyperX
becoz it is a sex organ model played by CHILDREN.
(*touch touch* *rub rub*)
well…. think of Michael Jackson! :P
weird designer… weird QA…. weird people out there
“play X-files theme”
How come the water yellowish 1??
@DK
I think it is some sort of urine mixture so that it looks “realistic” (like that “thing”)
I hope your niece is playing with it the right way it was originally intended. :P
I noticed there are buttons. What do they do? Squirt? LOL.
Supposed to be some “explorer”. That toy might have quite an adventure.
Run! Run for the hills! The phallic toys are finally taking over.
Lol. Interestingly cute toy ;p
….
………..
…………………..
Am i the only serious one here??? =p
Lol.
- The button seems like its use to control the “pet”
- Totally no clue about the yellowish water…
- I doubt it vibrates
Eagerly awaiting verification by Sheylara~~~
~LOL~
^ Why is the word pet in quotation marks? LOL.
Happy Birthday Sheylara!!!!
Wish you all the best! =D
Sham: Um… what’s BOB?
Relax: I don’t think it vibrates. Anyway, not everybody sees anything in that toy. To some people, it looks just like a child’s toy. :P And stop being sick! Haha.
Goonmother: What are YOU going to do with them??
oOFooi: Um… nothing special really! Nothing to see here, now, move along! :P
Monster: Haha… I think it’s kinda cute. I’ve seen uglier. :P
Ms._____ 2 be!: And what might that something be…? ;)
Neo: Well, the kids like it…
Anlooo: OMG that’s actually sick, what you suggested. Haha. But thanks for the birthday wishes! :)
hyperX: No no… it’s a toy, it looks like a toy and it’s meant to be a toy! I mean for kids! lol.
Ashtar83: I believe this isn’t the weirdest thing you can find out there in the weird, weird world.
DK: The toy is actually quite old, some hand-me-down. Water used to be clear, turned yellow over the years.
JayWalk: Of course she is!!!!
modchip: I think it was broken. I tried pressing the buttons but they didn’t do anything at all.
Numby: Eh, what? How to have an adventure in the little tube aquarium?
Jesta: Your comment put the song “Run to the hills” (by Iron Maiden) in my head. Now I can’t get rid of it!!
Wang Wang: I suspect it was some joke toy designed by a very funny person.
K: Sorry, I can’t really verify too accurately cos the toy seemed broken when I saw it. What it does is occasionally makes some electronic cutesy sounds by it’s own accord. And once in a while, the figure inside will wiggle its limbs and sorta dance around.
Pressing the buttons doesn’t do anything. The water is yellowish from age. Used to be clear.
No it doesn’t vibrate!!! lol.
BOB is Battery Operated Boy Friend! hehe
anyways – happy birthday! :)
OMG hahahah thanks for the education! :P And thanks for the birthday wish! When’s your birthday? You’re gonna get tons of BOBs if your birthday is near. Haha.
@sheylara haha my birthday is over la …
http://mhisham.org/photos/w/Outings_002/ ;)
I believe the left button makes the “pet” wiggle left, and the right button makes the “pet” wiggle right… pressing both makes the “pet” wiggle downwards.
As to why “pet” is in “quotation marks”, it’s because it’s not really a “pet” but is just quoted to be one, probably from the packaging or marketing.
Sheylara to Goonmother: What are YOU going to do with them??
Goonmother: erm…..display them?? =P
Sham: Nice! Looks like you had fun! So your birthday’s in February?
Mince Pye: HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!!! I mean about the pet wiggling.
Goonmother: Er… ok, if you say so. :P
Like WOW.
Dora the Vagina Explorer.I mean… Dora The Explorer.
Wow. :|
*stares at screen for 1 hour 37 minutes*
^ You really have a thing for those eh… LOL *joke*
Hahahah @ modchip.
BTW that typo was an honest mistake.
Okay… not really. It was just honest. But it wasn’t a mistake. :|
Al Sayf: Haha… something about Dora that fascinates you particularly?
Wah style.
