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 don’t usually read star blogs, but I will read this because Sheylara is blogging.
Who is Sheylara?
congrats Star Blogger…. =>
Wow, look at all the stars! Congrats! ^_^
I dun visit stomp too. I find it is a super boliao site. But I will make an exception because of u.
wow, sheylara is place @ the top. Most read, brightest star power blogger there
mmmm…small announcement but means a lot! cheers!
Congrats girl! So how much are you worth now? :)
sheylara!!!
way-to-go, gal:):)
u look so slim and trim in tat pic:p
Grats! looks like they gave you quite a bit of space :p
Thank you guys for all your support! For saying you’ll read my article even if you don’t read Star Blog generally! :) I’m touched!!
Sorry I won’t be able to reply comments much these days. It’s really no joke juggling 3 blogs and my Xbox duties WHILE filming full time during the day.
Plus I’m now paying RM15 per hour for Internet connection at the hotel. Don’t tell me about Star Bucks or local coffee shops or what… I doubt I’ll get to see one of those in my week here. :P
I try to blog offline now and only log in to post. Heh.
I had a very fun and fulfilling first day in KL. Can’t wait to share with you!
Thanks again!
hey congrats :)
Congrats! Going places =)
The one on the left os quite cute….
Ok, Ok, QY is the cutest!
Jesta: tat 1 is not cute, tat 1 is HOT….. *pssss*
@Sheylara: No worries about being unable to comment often. A six-day filming schedule won’t afford anyone much time, let alone a “blog juggler” such as yourself, hehe:) We are all very happy for you. Ditto for me, I only read about Stomp from the daily papers and hardly ever visit the site. But now I will:)
Hmm, anyone notice that there is a distinct skew in the gender makeup of the Star Blog? Its like a 3:1 ratio in favour of the ladies. I wonder why that is… *rolls eyes*
But of course, I’m glad that one of them is our precious GGF, hehe (nice save?:))
looking forward to your articles!
That is a nice and interesting read. :P Keep up the good work.
@Sheylara: Pai seh, forgot to ask you this in my earlier comment – Will you be available for the coming Wednesday chat in Stomp? Seems like another version of Xpert duty, hehe:)
lol.. That poster looks nice. I love it. :)
i guess thanks to sheylara, stomp readership just increased ;)
@tiger4: Yeah bro, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe that’s part of Stomp’s plan, coz all the other Star bloggers have been there for quite some time, and the site needs a fresh face to boost webhits:) sure worked on us, mah…
RN1209: lol. Yeah, especially with Sheylara wearing that hot dress showing off her figure and legs. *pssss* x 2
Hey isn’t that the same little black dress she shown us in a previous post?
Anyway, step aside Jaime Yeo, here comes Sheylara Croft!
Gratz! Its nice to see you on star blog, finally can do away with dawn…
Dun overwork yourself =)
@tiger4: Yes, it was in Fashion Diary #20, to be exact. So clever of Stomp to photoshop Sheylara in the Star Blog group pic so there’s no need for them to actually gather again:) I also think Sheylara selected a good pic to rep herself in Star Blog. Simple, yet elegant with a hint of fun!
Wow, thanks for continuing the conversation without me! You guys are great!!! LOVE YOU ALL!
You can tell I’m very hyper today. I woke up especially early this morning to finish as much work as possible so am feeling a bit stoned and crazy! ;)
Also want to thank you all for your continued support of my Star Blog. Do post comments there once in a while too if you have time! And come join me in the “live chat” there every Wednesday 9 pm! :)
(Okay I know this comment is so late that probably no one’s gonna read it anymore, lol.)
RN1209: I didn’t choose that picture actually. Stomp chose it. I never got to see any of the pics they took of me for the photoshoot! :P
@Sheylara: Yeah, I already learnt from you previously that this is the normal practice in journalism:) Even so, no worries, coz it’s a really sweet pic! At least Stomp chooses better than MS, hor*winks*
nono…hahaz
i will read every last comment written by u:P
RN1209: TBH, I don’t really like the Stomp pic leh. But if you guys say it’s nice, then okay, I feel better about it. :P
heartless: Awww, how can you call yourself heartless when you’re such a sweet guy? ;)
