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?!
the stylist who is adjusting your hair? I have a similar dress! heh
That sign is dumb. ^_^
Is that you?!? You look so overly “superstarish”. You look so pretty!
hehe, the security camera is using an old-nikon style camera. :)
lalalala
Sound technician installing your wireless mic?
Hi Sheylara, first time commenting. hahaha. The sign is weird coz it says its monitored by cameras, yet ask people to call if they see anything suspicious. Lol. Whats the point then.
I think is the wrong choice of the camera graphic. Should be that of a CCTV (i.e. video) camera.
I think the technician is fitting in a ear piece so as to be able to give instructions to the actress remotely.
So I speculate that the scene is taken from a distance away and no dialogue.
From upskirt to upbeanie…. What will they think of next?
pic 1 – tats a normal camera, not security cam
pic 2 – digging her ear with a cotton bud =P
Pic 1: Is a Camera symbol.
Pic 2: Maybe like what Goonmother said. Digging her ear with a cotton bud. hhaa~~
If the building is monitored by security cameras, why is it also requesting human eyes to keep a look out and call the police and SP PowerGrid?
Conclusion: There is no CCTV.
He’s the photographer or the assistant who’s checking that the area next to your head has the correct amount of light to make the picture look perfect?
The sign is wrong is because:
If it’s monitored by security cameras why do anyone need to call the police if they see something suspicius. Duh… :)
I know! The sign says “This building is monitored by security cameras”, but they still say “If you see anything suspisious please call 999.” HAHAHA, I mean, if theres a camera already, whats with calling 999 for, right? LOL.
OH, AND ADD ON, I THINK HE IS PUSHING YOUR HAIR INTO YOUR BEANIE :)
Attaching your elven ears! You are playing the role of an elf in modern times!
Pic 1- That camera must not be working very well if they still need people to call.
Pic 2- Who cares who he is; Who is that gorgeous woman in the picture and what has she done with our cute Sheylara!
why is he smelling your armpit?
He installing microchip in ya? hehehe oh no ya Terminator 2008!!!
when did SP Powergrid give up their electricity & cable works and got involved in security?
you should post it to FAIL blog.
that blog features a lot of weird signs like this
failblog.org
Wah…looks like a very fashionable shoot…
We want GGF! We want GGF!
Security camera can’t raise the alarm if you’re being robbed. You’ll need to do that manually. But the camera can provide evidence and with some luck a picture of the culprit’s face.
Anywoops, he’s adjusting your hair? LOL! BTW is that a bicep I see buldging outta your arm? Someone’s been working out eh? Uber lol!
General reply to everyone:
Interesting responses regarding the security camera picture! My initial thought about it was that it’s weird to tell people that cameras are in place and yet ask them to call the police if there’s anything suspicious!
But you guys have raised even more points to note, such as the camera picture used being wrong. Haha, that’s a good one!
Regarding the photo of me from the shoot, I’m amused at all your imginative answers! Very good job, hehe! Will not reveal the correct answer now. Watch out for my post about the shoot in the next several days! ;)
Replies to other stuff:
nadnut: Wah? Really? You have that same dress? Cool! I thought I look weird in it though. I have a clearer picture, which I will post when I blog about my shoot!
modchip: Haha! To be honest, I can’t get used to this look. I feel so not me in it!
Airpork: Hi babe! Thanks for first-time commenting! :)
krisandro: Wow, lol. That’s the most outlandish guess ever. But I like! I mean I would like to play an elf caught in modern times! Seriously! lol.
Alex: Aww, shucks. Thanks for the hidden compliment! lol.
Relax: Wow, nice site! I had a great laugh looking through it!! Maybe I’ll try and submit my pic! ;)
Steffi: Haha, you know what, you’re right. The wardrobe people really spent a lot of effort dressing the 3 of us up!
Derrick: ERm…. no lah. The “bicep” is a legacy of my childhood tomboy days. :P lol. Nowadays flabby already. My muscles turned to water. haha.
