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?!

If she is a traitor and a slut, then you should see the giant snake line of people at the Chinese embassy queuing to return their chinese passports EVERYDAY, presumably to take up Singapore ones.
So all of them are traitors and sluts?
you’re right…so is my grandfather and dad who’s from shanghai.
chinese shouldn’t fight chinese…
jaywalk,
those are just chinese nationals living in a bigger well than singaporeans who have never been out of the country and have a look see =P
Now Singapore has the number 2 celebrity actress. Congrates!
Let’s stalk her everyday
(number 1 is a Malaysian)
Poor Gong Li… I think it doesn’t help that she was quite a controversial player in Chinese cinema so it makes her an easy target to hate. Lots of Chinese nationals want Singaporean citizenship so I think those who criticised Gong Li prob are not aware of this and just want a sensational headline.
all i have to say is…
…she knew wat was coming her way…
I won’t say shes either, but I don’t like the idea of her being singaporean…
i doubt Gong Li gives a fcuk what those netizens have to say.. she’s too smart to be bothered by such morons…
this woman attaining sg citizenship… it just feels weird.
Hmm. So Gong Li is a traitor and slut because she attained SG citizenship? By extension, Jet Li should be something worse since he’s an American citizen (gasp!!) and he lives in Singapore (gasp! GASP!!)? I’ve not heard a peep from the mainlander netizens about THAT…
So why the outpouring of vitriol against Gong Li?
Of course, these “netizens” have been victims of “patriotic education” imposed since 1989 so they don’t know any better.
There’s a difference between race and statehood. Mainlanders usually equate one with the other. Which isn’t true AT ALL.
Sounds like someone is jealous to me. Gong Li is going to take work there you would never get so whats the problem?
The only thing funnier than a troll making himself look like an absolute moron…
… is a troll castrating his own worthless opinion by totally missing the point of the article he is refering to.
So folks, slow down a bit to gaze at this virtual train wreck, maybe snigger in derision, and then walk away.
WAPANG!!!!
@Mince Pye: Hehe, I couldn’t have said it better myself, bro. “There are none so blind as those that would NOT see.” or read, in this case.
Except that most Singaporean women don’t change their names :o)
Ah well… I’m pretty pleased to hear that she’s coming over here, she’s gorgeous!
Yeah, she was hawt in 2046!
And the topic being discussed was “chinese netizens” and their reaction to Gong Li’s taking foreign citizenship.
POW POW!
hey shey. those netizens are bunch of cowards hiding behind their pc… flaming her.. putting her down juz to make them look good, smarter.. PTOOOOEYYY….
Yeah juz like the two cowards who have problems with my opinion i shared with you…
“”all i have to say is…
…she knew wat was coming her way…::”"
And she did it ANYWAY, That took guts.
