23 Comments » The most popular sport in the world, according to a straw poll conducted over the weekend involving one bored boyfriend, is sex.
“What is the most popular sport in the world?” I had asked him.
“Sex,” he said
“That is not a sport!”
“Yes, it is,” he argued. “It’s an activity that increases your heart rate and burns calories.”
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?!
!’m first.
haha, anyway…qiaoyun…you getting more and more popular leh. xbox ambassador sia
Any prizes for guessing who the “boyfriend” is? :P
@Mince Pye: Wah liaoz, this kind of question no challenge lar:) You should ask how come the boyfriend is bored when the girlfriend is right in front of him, still can conduct straw poll some more, hehe:)
@Sheylara: Me joking oni, hor…:)
her bf is goonfather lar…….
Actually, RN1209, it should be “how come the boyfriend is bored when he has mutants to kill, radroaches to squash, raiders to eviscerate and heads to ventilate?” Heh…
izzit?
erm… i concur with ur ‘bf’:P
Mince Pye: You are obsessed. I pray your game better reach you soon….
hmmmm maybe not. You’ll disappear from the face of the earth and I can’t get my fourth player for LBP. :p
hahaz
i just finished reading ur other blog…
dun b sad:(
oh man… breaks my heart:P
All MMO players should be familiar with this “obsession”, haha. Actually, any hardcore gamer will be familiar with it. ;)
yea, finally after 2 weeks can access this site again!!
Sex is not a sport! How could it be one?
Football is not overhyped, EPL is. And football is certainly not stupid.
Just because you dun understand it doesn’t have to make it stupid. Just like I dun understand why some can play MMORPG overnight but I dun feel it is stupid.
But I have to admit footballers are really getting paid ridiculous money these days.
Red Devils Fan here.
well hard to say which one is better .. certainly it’s up to each person’s liking. no point of talking which 1 is better ..etc
Both involve balls, a lot of up and down and often some reference to God…
fwaaah.. about time, after nearly two or three weeks of trying, i can finally access ya blog. missed all those quirky posts. and football is not stupid. to see a person’s favourite team score a goal and win the game against a rival team is just simply unexplainable in words. even though we watch soccer, we play soccer as well, during our free time la. nice to be finally back again. (=
@tiger4: Relax lar bro… its the trademark Sheylara humour:) What you mentioned is precisely what she showed in the article, with the two of them just mindlessly watching Rock Band 2 videos. Anyway, sorry to hear that you are a Man Utd fan. My heart is at Anfield:)
@Jesta: Haha! I liked the 3rd similarity:)
@RN1209: Chill bro, I am not angry. Just putting my point forward. Maybe the wording is a bit harsh. Hope I din hurt anyone.
Another Liverpool fan, it’s ok, nice to meet you. I duno why Man Utd and Liverpool fans have go against each other so fiercely. In fact, my circle of friends and colleagues are all Liverpool supporters
@tiger4: No worries, bro:) I was just clarifying Sheylara’s article in case it was misunderstood. Anyway, that’s the whole point behind discussion and exchanging ideas, mah.
For me, its the opposite. Most of the people around me are Man Utd fans. They’ve been laughing at me for more than a decade, sigh…:)
Well, sex is definitely an exercise for me.
By strict definition, sex is NOT a sport… it’s a “game”. I remember when I was in school, the school coach was defining the difference between a “game” and a “sport”.
Sport – an activity that raises heartrate, burns calories, AND YOU CAN DO THAT ACTIVITY ALONE. Martial arts generally fall into this catergory.
Game – same thing, only difference is that you can’t do it ALONE. Football, basketball etc generally fall into this catergory.
Since you can’t have sex alone, it no longer is a “sport” heheheh!
Mabbe RN1209 and Tiger4 can swap friends. lol!!
Foxtwo: There are shops that sells body parts, as mentioned in a previous post. And they even sell whole bodies. =D
@Goonfather: I was thinking the exact same thing, on both your comments, hehe:)
so is the conclusion that sex a sport now?
