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 wonder what will happen when i enter a black hole.
What could be better than fooling around, if the world is about to end?
when the world ends…
all of u will still b 2gether..
no one’s missing nobody:P
but i tink i will miss food:P
4 years later… is 2012.
LOL.
shit… if that’s the case, why am i still sitting in my office rushing this ridiculous project?
Love the GF, as usual.
The trouble is that it’s all just bollocks. The particle smashing will only do what is happening all the time as cosmic rays impact on Earth’s atmosphere – it’ll just do it in a controlled way in a controlled environment.
Its good to know that we are on the other end of the world and its gonna take a big explosion to hit us….
I hope those people know what they are doing, I’m still 2 months from 18!
If it’s from the internet, then it must be true. ^:)^
cool. so where’s the countdown party?
muscular: You will not be able to see your hands in front of your face?
Mince Pye: I don’t know. I think I might go for a feast instead. Lvl 30 spicy buffalo wings? :P
heartless: Wow, we think alike! I will miss food, too. haha.
-=}{oT~dEv1L 666=-: I should hope so.
tiger4: Haha… the things we do in life becomes kind of absurd when you start thinking about the life coming to an end.
Jesta: Hmm, I hope you’re right. I didn’t really read the articles in detail. No time. Just skimmed through them. Which is why i didn’t participate in the crazy conversation my friends were having. Well, also because I was out all day and busy.
Cornflict: Heh, well, I don’t think anything will actually happen. Sometimes people like to make a big fuss over nothing cos it makes life more exciting :p
modchip: lolol, good one!
shin: Um… you wanna organise one?
Scientist nowadays discover more and more slow-reacting foods/particle that causes illness.
Most items like food only goes through tests that shows immediate reaction.
It’s like u eat a certain food u won’t get a disease immediately, but if u consume it for 20yrs u get all sort of weird, uncurable disease. I bet 50 years ago, there wasn’t as much cancer cases compared to modern days.
Going against nature isn’t really wise.
Guys, I think we’re still alive afterall, duh..
Well, I duno when is the world going to end but I’m sure it’s very soon if we dun management our garbage.
I will miss you too dearie >.<
I hope I can still celebrate my bday… :(
We are still alive!!! And still need to finish my project though.
I am glad I did not do what I wanted haha, if I had then I probably in jail now. =P
Good time to borrow money from friends and promise to pay them back on Oct 22.
HURRAY!!! We are still alive….
Argh…. shit…. Now I have to go back to work on my project :(
Speaking from a gamer perspective, 21 October will be the date to grab a crowbar, don the orange hazardous environment suit, and make like Gordon Freeman…
Watch out for the headcrabs!
Muscular: Depends on how muscular you are, if you were to enter a “black hole”, I think it will be quite wet.
Mince Pye: Can I add a CT mod?
^^ What!?! Do you mean there’s na new half-life game coming out? Why haven’t I heard of that? Tahnks for the info!! ^_^
haha…. I LOLed :P
I know this is a funny post but I can’t resist to share a bit of dull scientific fact. Sorry guys.
If you understand particle Physics, you will know that there is nothing to worry about at all.
The reason they charge the particles with very high energy and smash them together is to break them up into small pieces so that scientists can know more about fundamental particles.
During the event of big bang, things exists in very fine particles, and scientists need to smash these things up so that they can know how things are like at the event of big bang…. they are super tiny bits of quarks and energy bits.
Why they need to make a huge ass particle smasher? this is because the fundamental particles inside the atomic nucleus are held together by a very strong force. They need to apply a lot of energy into these particles to break up the strong forces so that it will disintegrate into smaller components.
After breaking up, the fundamental particles will be highly unstable. They will decay into more stable particles very quickly so they is no need to worry that these weird particles will swallow up the whole world.
cheers.
food sustains life:P
and my funky excursions:)
muscular: Well, if you’re talking about the LHC, I think it isn’t going against nature. I see it as the scientists are trying to imitate or recreate nature. :P
Kerr: Duh…
Maria: Yeah, I’m really amazed at the amount of rubbish we can produce.
Wang Wang: I’m sure you will be able to. What would you like to do? :P
Anlooo: Haha…. I wonder what you had in mind to do. :P
JayWalk: lol… what if the world doesn’t end?
tiger4: hehee… tough luck!
Mince Pye: Not for me, thanks. Please keep away from me. :P
Relax: In the first place, I don’t understand how smashing up particles could create black holes and how black holes could swallow the world, unless you’re talking about black holes that are larger than the world itself.
I never actually read up about the big bang theory before. So, are you saying that before the world was born, there were just huge particles floating around. And then one day, they all smashed into smithereens, and the little bits that resulted ARE our universe???
That’s too weird for my mind to fathom.
So will this LHC create mini Earths with mini people? lol.
heartless: food sustains my mood. :P
I am gonna to miss everything. Not just knowing your blog but everything. ;)
seems like food is more important to u then it is to me:P
but u still look sooooo slim….
got any secrets to ur great figure??
No Sheylara, that was not how universe work.
Before the universe was born, there was no time and space for particles to float around.
also, particles fuse to create larger substance, not smashing with each other.
The particle smashing thing has nothing to do with big bang, it is just how scientist split things into smaller pieces, so that they know what are they, which are the stuffs existed right after the big bang event.
let me explain about black hole.
The “power” of black hole comes from its force of gravity
However, at sub atomic level, gravity is very weak. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces (which are strong forces, electro-magnetic force, weak force and gravity).
Gravity force is significant only at astronomical level, and it takes a lot of mass to create something like black hole, much more mass than the whole solar system itself.
Even if you create a tiny “black hole substance”, it is harmless and does not yield any problems at all. The force between electron and proton is much stronger than such gravity force at atomic level.
Some people suggest that the worst nightmare of particle collision comes from a particle called “Strangelet” (such as the strange quark), which have weird characteristic and they say it will convert other normal particles into strange particles in a chain reaction fashion and literally convert earth into a grey goo, but that is more like a fictional story to me.
Another good explanation of big bang is that the flying spagetti monster excreted its feces, which form into the universe we know today :P *wink wink*
I will be in the midst of my exam :(
Can the world come to an end after I get my cert? ;p
And from the biologists, the animal smasher!!

I think this is all fake. but your friends are quite funny.
Haha, thanks for all the continuing comments and discussions!
Relax: I’m sorry but I didn’t quite understand your explanation. I don’t grasp scientific theories very well because I’m a very visual person and if I can’t see it, I can’t understand it. :P
Well, but I like FSM explanation. That one I can understand. hahaha. :P
heartless: There’s no secret lah. Just, um, good genes? And, uh, sometimes only eat one meal a day cos too busy to eat. :P
oh my ***…
1 meal a day?!?!
just kill me, just kill me….
You get used to it… lol.
