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: Actually, thinking about one’s own mortality once in a while isn’t morbid, but recommended and healthy. What IS morbid is the fact that you spent $40 on Pocky / Nabisco products (!!!) I mean, for that kind of cash, I’d splurge on a couple of Ben & Jerry’s, no question, hehe:)
WAPANG !!!! =)
$40 on good food wouldn’t be a problem. $40 on snacks is like… WOW!
How much are you willing to spend on good food?
Fourth!!!
Obesity FAIL :P
(Neh, it’s a compliment)
i tink u shouldn’t b guilty…
u work so hard everyday..
u deserve them:)
You love your tidbits, how do you manage to keep so fit?! Gasp!
I recently dropped by NTUC and bought 2 days worth of dinner for cooking, some batteries, and some bathroom stuff … and the bill came up to S$99. I think life is getting more expensive in Singapore.
It’s ok to think about death. Eventually it will come and claim us. I know some people like to classify things – if you think about death, it’s morbid, money is greed, lust is perversion… etc. I think there is no need for that. Just do what you will!
To borrow an old cliche, it’s not how you died that matters, it is how you lived that you should be remembered for.
We love your tidbits too (proper spelling: “titbits”) :o)
$40 on snacks! wow! I could use that for 2 weeks groceries!
seriously, life is unfair.
why doesnt obesity like you…
@shin
Maybe aneroxia always chase after models and actresses?
And… now that I think of it, this is another of your bloody food posts. Which are basically you saying: “I can eat whatever I like and still be as skinny as anything.” Which is annoying, probably illegal and certainly very, very unfair!
*grumble*
No guilt for having so much tidbits, your figure is still maintained in an awesome manner )
RN1209: lol… Actually, the photo in this entry is from the past, and I believe that bill was higher than $40 cos those things were from a specialty Japanese snack shop. lol. I didn’t take a photo of my recent NTUC purchases. :P I did get a lot out of my $40 from NTUC, though.
W: WAPANG!
Jawker: Let’s just say I’m more willing to spend on food than I am on clothes and cosmetics and jewellery and the like. :P I guess I really live to eat, lol. I recently spent $70 on two tins of cookies from The Cookie Museum. Totally crazy price but I just had to have those cookies!!! Haha.
Relax: If I were anorexic, I wouldn’t be touching any snacks with a ten-foot pole. :P
heartless: Well, the guilt comes from knowing that it’s unhealthy to eat all these snacks.
Wilfrid: I’m not really fit lah. Maybe I only look it from the outside. Haha. :P Wow, that’s a lot of money for 2 days’ dinner and some miscellaneous items! What kind of branded bathroom stuff did you buy? Haha!
Darkspore: People classify things to try to make sense of the world, I guess.
Jesta: This isn’t a food post!! Haha. It’s a food-for-thought post. ;)
Cornflict: You serious? $40 can buy 2 weeks’ groceries??
shin: I think maybe because I’m an impatient, restless, fidgety person, I burn calories 24/7. lol.
ty: My figure still looks okay from the outside, but I think my innards are all screaming bloody murder from nutrition abuse. :P
