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?!

Sheylara: What’s amazing is that I’ve actually seen that Nike bag, and I STILL cannot believe you’re able to stuff all those items in there:) Its like an RPG, ya know? Your inventory list of weapons and potions (and the size of your backpack) isn’t usually displayed realistically onscreen:)
That’s why my bag always looks like it’s going burst open any minute. But I like your RPG analogy. Haha… good one.
Well, does it? LOL.
Finally! I can read Sheylara blog again. It’s a torture these 3 days @ home without NO access to the blog. Argh…..
@Sheylara: Like you, I carry everything with me in my bag although mine is not as big as your *blush* Medicine, my trusty thumdrive, umbrella (yes, I’m a guy) etc. Better to endure the weight of carrying those extra stuff than caught died without it, right? But 3 phones? And why carry the ipod when u have the iphone?
Anyway, just make sure you dun get the suspicious looks when you put the bag under your seat when riding the MRT. ;P
I used to like to read articles on stuffs inside people’s bag. Maybe u should add a survival tin in your bag.
Hmmm…. birth control pills? :P
Monster,
How much stuff do you really have in your bag? You sure that’s really all?
Hey sheylara,
maybe you can do a Handbag Meme with your bag like what EastCoastLife did.
http://eastcoastlife.blogspot.com/2008/09/whats-in-eastcoastlifes-handbag.html
The bag is used to fight against Doraemon’s one? lol… You sure can put alot of things inside.
u are the modern day auntie.
Actually, I can relate to you. As there are also stuffs that I don’t really need but I still bring with me always. =P
That ohshuddup pouch could really come in handy… haha.
modchip: I wish! ;)
tiger4: Eeks, so sorry that my blog isn’t accessible for you! I still don’t know what the problem is!! O_o I carry the iPod cos the iPhone battery life isn’t that good. And I don’t want to be caught with a dead phone in the middle of the day. :P
Thanks for the meme suggestion, but I don’t like memes lah. :P
Relax: What goes in a survival tin?
Monster: Haha, that’s all I can fit into it and all I can carry without breaking my bones, lol. :P
hyperX: Haha… I could never beat Doraemon!
lawless: Yup, call me auntie.
Anlooo: So is your bag really big? :P
Mince Pye: Yeah, remind me to use it on you next time we meet. :P
@Sheylara: Dun tink my problem got anything to do with your blog. Tested with 2 real computer and 1 virtual one. Heck, I even tried to access your blog with my PSP but still failed. It could be my modem/router or worse Singnet problem. The debugging journey continues…. :(
I seem to remember you using it on me plenty of times already, just that you don’t bring it out and wave it around for added effect.
Singnet seems to be having an issue with their DNS.
If you are using a router, set your PC’s DNS (under TCP/IP settings) to:
DNS: 165.21.83.88
Secondary DNS: 165.21.100.88
@Mince Pye: ok thanks. will try that out tonight.
i tink carry gold bar even lighter:P
@heartless: That thought crossed my mind, too:)
seriously speaking… hahaz
realli seems like gold would b lighter…
dun u have bruises on ur shoulder?
I carry not as much as you but is enough to make my bag really messy. I can never seem to find the things I want in my bag. Ha. Does your bag end up being very messy and hard to find stuff?
And gosh. The weight seems to be pulling me down, making me feel even shorter each day :(
