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?!

hey shey
Happy drums class . :p
Star Blog chat zhu can’t join cos Half dead after eating that caterpillar with colourful topping on it.
Have a nice time
Hehehe.
hey shey..
every wednesday nite i teach guitars n drums lessons to some broken homes kids in church.. but when aneurysm hits me.. i have to give up.. as much as i love to chat with you, vanessa, julian n dylan.. you guys are awesome.. but i kinda hates the other bloggers.. they are pretentious selfish fcuks.. yeah.. they talk about morals, loving n caring… but they give excuses not to help the poor n needy.. some even ridiculed about kids getting abused n begging..
Somebody should have sat on it. Hehehe.
ya , sure strange cos got extra cushion ma. :p
I bet that the bread’s infected with HIV
no wonder AIDS’s pandamic
kidding :P
It prove another thing. Singaporeans are gutless, want to sit but dun dare to walk up n ask. In the end, what do we get? People talking photos n posting on stomp to kpkb….
Why can’t they just pick up the bread and asks whose is it? No one responds, bring it home.
@Sheylara: Its actually an extension of the “tissue paper reservation” syndrome, hehe:) Anyway, I agree with tiger4, this “citizen media” movement is reaching a point of “boh liao”-ness that I am finding myself increasingly irritated with. If people are not “qi tong”, then you tell them so politely on the spot. In the end, I’m fairly certain nobody got to sit there until that person left.
zhuzhu: See lah, told you already don’t eat caterpillar!!
DamnMorgan: Hope you get better soon so you can go back to teaching the kids guitar and drums.
Peaches Mode: Hahaha… good one! You’re always the best at this! ;)
Relax: Huh? What’s the link between the bread and HIV? lol.
tiger4: Most Singaporeans are non-confrontationl. Just endure silently then later kpkb to anyone who would listen to relieve stress. haha.
Yoi: Because we were taught since young never to talk to strangers. Hahaha.
RN1209: I once told a person off in the cinema for talking and laughing with his partner throughout the show. After that, I felt quite bad about it. Actually I have endured such things all my life and that was the first time I confronted someone for being inconsiderate. But I didn’t enjoy doing it and I didn’t feel good after doing it. Just our nature, I think?
Hey shey
I agreed with what RN1209 said, but sometimes end up badly…Like what happen to me recently , i told a NYP student off for drinking in the SMRT train, he stop drinking when his galfriend ask him to but carry on after he alight the train.
It pissed me off and i told him off again, i even ask the SMRT staff to help me.
You know what happen in the end?
The SMRT staff only tell him not to drink in the train next time… That’s all !!!! @.@!!!!!
I ask that staff why she didn’t fine him, she just say she didn’t caught him drinking so she can’t do anything to him. @.@(lame excuses)
From that day onward, i wouldn’t be bother with reporting and complaining cos nobody do cares, even the SMRT people are not helping themselves how you expect the member of public do?
Sigh… Singaporeans are too apathetic and non-confrontational!
Shey
Even when i am oversea ,i also don’t admit that i am an singporean, like what happen in Japan recently… Japanese uncle scolding Singaporean there for misbehaved .
Shameful until i ask my Friend who can speak japanese to apologise to the japanese.
Not just singaporeans, it happens worldwide. Fact is and will remain such, that there will be inconsiderate people around. Shey is right bout people on other continents would be more confrontational. Over here, we’re taught that if it’s not our business, do not bother… yet we are taught by the same people that we should not be inconsiderate, illiterate (aka not knowing how to read signs) and irresponsible.
It boils down to individual judgment, whether a situation warrants a confrontation, whether if it is worth the confrontation, or we could just not stir the dust and let it settle. Somehow it is like dust, they build up if we don’t clean them up, and there’ll be more of them… even if we do clean them up, they’ll still be there, just less.
Seems like you guys haven’t heard of the super infamous high profile Bus Uncle video
enjoy this clip

(it’s relevant to the discussion here, you have to watch it to know it)
@Relax: Yah, the “You are stressed, I am stressed” speech. I won’t be the dumb guy sitting there getting screwed by him
@tiger4
Yah yah
“YOU GOT STRESS, I GOT STRESS”
“NOT SETTLED, NOT SETTLED”
Later some thugs went to that rude uncle and bashed him up
That dude is spineless lah, people cuss his mother still sit there like log. Useless.
He should do a Zidane and give that @$$hole a super head butt!!!!
WACHA!!!!
(not WAPANG)
@Relax:
LOL, right…
When talk is cheap, violence is the way to go ;)
@tiger4
Ya. To be practical, we must be prepared all the time to face unexpected @$$H0L35.
Learn martial arts such as pressure point killing technique.
Get weapons such as collapsable baton, brass knuckle, or combat knife (prefered the ones made by Cold Steel and Spiderco)
and girls might want to get pepper spray.
I would like to have a tazor or stun gun.
When crisis cometh, release your max power !!!
and scream PAWNAGE!!!!
@Relax: Ya know, for a guy whose nick is supposed to be calming and serene, you sure endorse quite a bit of mayhem…:)
hey hey,how bout a kantana AND shurinkens…lols….it is gonna hurt E:
HOW COME I HAVE SUCH VIOLENT READERS ONE?!!!!
=P
Sheylara, like that only really roxx mah
but that’s very mild compare to GTA and Stranglehold…
bodies fly here fly there after getting multiple gun shots….
@Sheylara: Actually, the fact that you took the effort to highlight the unacceptable behaviour to the person already speaks volumes about your civic-mindedness. You shouldn’t feel bad, unless you were intentionally rude (which I honestly doubt so:)) Its definitely more constructive than taking a pic and then posting it in order to attract online flaming…
Relax: I was playing a bit of GTA4 and Happy Tree Friends False Alarm last night. So much blood and gore and violence. Haha. I think I need to play Monopoly tonight. :P
RN1209: To be totally honest, I confronted the person not because I was civic-minded but because I was personally disturbed and just wanted him to shut up so I could enjoy my movie in peace. :P That other people benefited from it too was secondary. Hehe.
@Sheylara: Haha, good intentions or not, I’m sure many viewers around silently thanked you that day:) I know I would’ve:)
WAPANG !!!!
