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’m avoiding Suntec altogether. Crowds are crazy over there!
Happy National day, to my Singaporean friends.
It was a super happy week for me, to see my goddess idol performing for the Olympics for the second time.
Yea, must be really busy for you, ain’t it?
Then you better don’t come to Spitland.
I was at WCG today too, and I *think* I saw you. At the 360 corner – should be you right?
Well I couldn’t really make it for the WCG thanks to NS and having to do medical cover for NDP.. :(
I’m with you on the crowds thing. I much prefer to watch these things from the comfort of an air-conditioned home…
motd: Actually, it turned out not too bad. :P But I left Suntec around 5:45pm, dunno if it got worse later. There was a flag ceremony at the Suntec Convention Centre atrium around that time, but the crowd still was manageable.
Relax: Wow… who’s your goddess idol?
-=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-: Yes, very! lol.
JayWalk: That’s why I’m not there. Haha. So how is it over there? Any horror stories to share? :P
Jawker: Well, I was there from 3pm to 5:30pm and I was dressed all in white! :) Did you see me getting thrashed in PGR4 by Xbox gamers there? Haha.
zzz: Awww. :( Sounds like you were really busy yesterday! Did you manage to enjoy yourself a bit, though?
Jesta: Actually, I would much prefer not to watch any of these things. I’d rather play games. haha.
my “goddess” is this loh

Aww… nice! Thanks for sharing! I prefer the Chinese singer though. I still think Sarah B sounds weird. :P
welcome ^_^
that goddess looks so pretty, just like you. (she’s ageless)
Wah, don’t compare me to your goddess, I shy! But thanks for the compliment! ;)
[...] National Day of Singapore yesterday. The Itch To Write gathers some of the sentiments of young Singaporeans. Posted by [...]
Belated happy National Day to all Singaporeans!
Better to stay at home in safety than to risk getting molested when walking thru crowds in public places.
It’s hard for horny men to resist temptation of beautiful girls.
modchip: Thanks! :)
Mockingbird: Um… what a scary thought. Lucky my dad doesn’t think that way or I think I would be locked at home all my life. Haha.
