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?!

o_O
(should I laugh or cry?)
Errr…. lower? :D
Ahh…. All your fellow readers now owe me big thank you, now that we have more pictures to look see.
waahhhh.. nice hair.. sheylara is the new hot diva.
I think its more of posing style perhaps (facial, body, etc) …
I was amazed by how a certain pose can changes the mood of a photo, from a recent dslr seminar i attended
the bottomline, for you, u look gd, wateva pose it is or clothes thrown at ya
actually i have to agree with jaywalk leh. even these 3 pics look more or less the same.
hrm try tying a ponytail XD
ermmm… taken before shower? =P
Can see that you’ve got quite a few… ermm… interesting fans leh. Good thing u’ve got Goonfather to shoo them away for you.
Nice pics as always. :)
Hi, read ur blog for quite sometime :)
I think what jaywalk means is that you rarely (or never) post pictures of you with ur face scrunched up in different expressions.. Usually your pics just show u with a standard look: doe eyes (as in stretching your facial muscles to make ur eyes look wider (not sure of the term.. Apologies) + no wide smile = like those teenyboppers pictures like that..
Ur Xbox pic looks nice! At least it’s sumting different (wide smiles + ur eyes are really shinning and ‘laughin’ and with a some life in them (not the usual ‘stoner’ or ‘dreamer’ or ‘teenybooper-way-of-taking-pic’).
I guess majority of ur pics, ur eyes have that same look.
Sorry ah.. I think all of us have been through the teenybopper way of posing for pictures as described above… It’s like a neverending thing that will plague teenagers.
For those that outgrows this way of taking pictures, we usually cringe when we realised years later that all our friends had on the same expressions :)
All Hail jaywalk’s invoke on Sheylara for new looks !!!
lol ponytail, twintail, heck try predator’s dreadlocks and scare us :D
any style, ya still Sheylara, how cool can that be? gamer girl should be customisable :D
more pic more to see when trees grew as tall hdb, where children are adult, when all are old with dentures behind monitor squinking at the monitor.
so more pics please :D haahahaha
@Ashtar83
I agree with you
Sheylara will look ueber cool if she wears a Buff headgear
noo.. you do it wrong.. :(
did i told you to twin-tailed your hair.. ??
and try that with a slightly curl hair.. @^_^
chris: Cannot look too fierce lah. I don’t want to scare people away. :P
Precious: I think I will look weird. Haha. All the computer games with avatars that are supposedly made to look like actors are all weird! :P
amd: Yes, that’s right!!
Daethian: AWw, haha, that’s very sweet of you. Thanks for the huge compliment!
Relax: Um, neither? What’s a Buff headgear, anyway?
modchip: Hahaa… not that again!
JayWalk: You never complain about this batch, so does that mean it’s satisfactorily “different”? :P
timmy: Haha *bish* don’t call me a diva! :P
uncle sha: Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, poses can change moods! But sometimes it’s hard to have different camwhore poses when you’re holding the camera with one hand. A bit limiting. lol.
darkelfin: …
Rinko: I don’t look good in a ponytail. :(
claudia: Heh! Thanks! Well, it was taken in the shower… lol. Shhh…
Cyrene: Okay, yah, I get what you mean. But when people post photos of themselves, they try to post only nice pics right? Haha. I try many different expressions but they all turn out ugly. :P But you’re right anyway, there seems to be a trend for a certain kind of look and pose. But I think it’s largely because people tend to look more attractive in those poses? lol.
Ashtar83: lol, alright, but it’s a bit hard to post different pictures all the time with my limited clothes and hairstyling skills! Haha. I think I need a stylist to go shopping for me (no time to shop myself) and to do makeup/hair for me. :P
zield: lol… my hair is a bit too long for twin tail now, is it not?
Don’t worry
you can always do a Magibon
