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?!
Hahahahhaa!! This post is really funny! Maybe there is some hack somewhere that allows a computer to detect commands and actions from 2 mouses at a time? :D
No….next time hor, when he says that, do what u did tonight.
But then, plug in a wireless mouse, go back to a table further away, resume your work, and entertain yourself with the goonfather wrestling with your other mouse. Set ur camcorder on stealth mode and tape the whole thing. Then upload your own version of home-made Punk’d here for all of us to enjoy.
PS: This trick doubles as a great office prank. After all, I was the one who kena conned into calling Romania for our IT Support Services after thinking mine was malfunctioning.
Su Yuen: Thanks!! Well, let’s wait for someone to invent that. :P
Stan: That is like the most outrageously wicket idea!! I like!!! :P So I suppose you didn’t get filmed when it happened to you?
QY: LOL Thankfully no! I was babbling like an idiot on the other end of the line to a sweet Romanian operator when my colleagues came up and revealed the wireless mouse.
I have yet to scheme a revenge plan for them. Any suggestions? I’ll be welcomed for all kinds…Goonfather-styled included! :P
erm….i hv a pathetic question.
whats TMD?
totally massive destruction?
teenage mutant dogs?
voted. now i see the reason why you’re soooo busy to check your mails. you’re a mini celebrity. lol
Hehe, funny Goonpapa. ^_^
Ei, like the Goonmama, also curious what TMD is. :D
Stan: Dun think I will fall for that, as I have done that many times to ppl’s notebook. Not even with a wireless mouse, but bluetooth in with my SE phone. Zero evidence, no dongle required.

Who the fook is Goonmother?
Poor guy, gets a lot of grief, and he has to put up with being married to YOU!
Sekali later Goonbrother, Goonsister, GoonCousin,

i wiki-ed TMD
many new meanings.
eg. time manipulation device.
but i think TMD here means…..too much drama
am i rite?
Goonmother: I Think that TMD is the acronym of a MUCH naughtier local expression that that…
Something about “your mother” I think…
他妈的, How can you not know what is TMD?
TMD.
Could it be the Chinese word? I’m not sure how it’s spelt but I do know it sounds like Ter Mah Der. Am I right?
^ Wahhhhhh! Now I’m more curious than ever about what this TMD is!
I think it is a chinese word ” 他妈的“
It IS ‘他妈的’.
Literally translated, it means ‘His mother’.
Use mainly to express shock and/or anger. Though it is not just limited to that.
Example:
Ah beng: Eh ah kow, your shoe kena stolen!
Ah kow: TMD! don’t let me find out who the one!
etc etc.

Mince Pye: You can be the goon gong if you want.
No thanks, but I can tell you a story about goon gong…
One day, he ended up in hospital, after being hit by a can. And this is how his grandson related the story:
Gong gong gong, gong gong gong gong, gong gong gong.
OMG can I delete your comment??!! *faint*
But it makes perfect sense! In Hokkien…
*ahem*
To paraphrase,
“Grandpa said, can knocked grandpa, grandpa dizzy”
omg.
Which corn school did you graduate from?
:P
The one in which Goonster graduated Magna Corn Laude…
Hur hur hur. Him and you both.
