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: OMG, you managed to make Wapang say something else! That’s amazing:)
@Sheylara: HURRAY! The Wapang saga is over… Are you celebrating it with a new title bar? I say, it looks fantastic.
W: Awwwwww. No more wapangs?? :(
RN1209: lol I didn’t make him (or her). He (or she) apparently made himself (herself).
argh I hate all this gender PC bullshit! :P
tiger4: Thanks! =) Did you see all the three new headers?
I have to say, though, that I will miss WAPANG. Although I have no idea what wapang means and what the heck this person is up to, I find it quite entertaining. Sometimes, the WAPANG comes at really opportune times in the comments lineup!
@Sheylara: Yep, the new pictures look every classy and stylish. I like the one with the film. Ooooo…. those eyes.
@Wapang: Bye Bye…

tiger4: Thanks! :) I wasn’t intending to redo my banners last night though, it was on a whim and I did some quick and dirty jobs on them. Haha.
heartless: Yes. Sorry I “disappeared” from comments for a while! My schedule keep getting crazier by the day! What’s new, haha. :P I have so many deadlines it hurts to think of them, lol.
deadlines x 3
Used to them liao. Being in the IT cum manufacturing industry, December n May is the busier times for me. Customers want to get the product out b4 the X’mas and January exhibition periods.
@Sheylara: Hey, no worries, its your blog and you can be as un-PC as you want to be, hehe:) I don’t think any of your loyal readers here will mind.
Anyways, you’re right about Wapang. I mean, strange / weird visitors beats zero web traffic hands down:)
@tiger4: Heh, you see lar, you go and encourage the fella. The Wapang saga continues… (not that its a bad thing…:))
@Wapang: Have you met your distant relative “Wah Piang”?
@RN: Eh… I am not the one who encourage. Sheylara also got hor…
But it (no HE or SHE) did add some entertainment for us here mah.
Dun introduce to to Wah Piang, later it bring the whole family down. The Wah Lao, Wah Lan, Wah Sai, Wah Liew etc… Then we really go go WAPANG!
tiger4: Haha, yeah, “seasonal” jobs are really taxing during those peak periods.
RN1209: OMG wah piang?!!! haha… that’s gonna be real funny!
