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?!

Killer.
Special thanks to Justyn. ;)
Nice shinigami outfit (bankai version)
i was discussing with a fren why girls camwhore so much?
Is it because
1)You wanna show off what you got?
2)You wanna make use of your beauty while it lasts?
3)You enjoy being complimented?
If thats the case, how come don’t have yandao guys camwhore? Or is it because i just don’t notice their blogs?
I actually prefer your elegant look to the cute one. If you say you felt uncomfortable, I can’t see it. You pulled it off! And I think you should pull it off more often. I meant the elegant look of course. Please ah! No one be thinking anything else!!
Ahem!
“WAH!!!! CHIOBU AH!!!!!”
“u look classy and sexy in it:)”
“Killer.”
“I actually prefer your elegant look to the cute one. ”
Need I say any more?????
For years I have been bugging you to do this, and you have been telling me “No”. Now?
Vindication!
:o)
I wanted to say the dress still looked a bit cutesy…. but you said that in the last part of your post so, yeah….
Wow, vavavoom. ;P
bah, wheres the JHSU?!!!
Yay, JHSU FTW!!! :PP
WTF is JHSU?
You look more like the style of the Xbox photos already (those on the Xbox Xperts website). Kinda not “you”. I think you look better in those “cutish” clothing.
my eyes just popped out of my sockets.some1 send me to a hospital please
I like your look you are very pretty!
See? With the exception of HotDevil (PLEASE don’t encourage her!) the votes seem to be in favour of elegant and sexy…
Thanks for your comments and humour, everyone. Sorry I don’t have time to reply individual comments this time.
Next, I’ve said this a zillion times and I will say it again:
I never claimed that I don’t look good in elegant clothes. My official word is that I don’t like being in them and I feel uncomfortable and awkward in them.
So, just because one photographer and a few readers feel that I look good in them, it doesn’t mean that I have to like them, too, or that I even have to wear them at all. :P
Wah…
So chio!
Why, thanks! :)
