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: Your Twitter update in the current context is hilarious!:)
Nice

there is no objective morality in the world. all r man made (Moral skeptism/nihilism)
Anyways, I like to go crazy and violent on internet, and I like to hug hug and care care for my net friends. :-)
They say a person is more lovable if they have love towards everything.
I guess this makes you a more lovable person, yes?
hey shey…
my biggest flaw is my anger and hatred to ppl who are selfish pretentious pompous shit stirring asswipes… yeah esp those who turn their backs on poor needy abused kids..
yeah… i’m an angry foul mouthed heavy metal dude..
i remembered telling off an asswipe.. i told him.. if he’s not happy.. he can go to mamak shop n ask for his lolipop and suck it.. still not happy.. he can go to kachang puteh man and try his nuts instead..
I’d like to comment by quoting today’s greatest living comic genius – Ricky Gervais
http://www.rickygervais.com/thissideofthetruth.php
“…I’m so sick of all this media talk about whether swearing is big and clever or not in comedy. Don’t dignify the debate. If you don’t like swearing, don’t f***ing swear. If you do, then don’t worry about what any other c**t thinks. It’s just filling poor column inches and feeding controversy. Oh Bollocks, I just added to the debate…”
Value < X = Unhappy.
See if it works here.
it did! Screw you STARBLOG!
LOL.
WAPANG !@#$
Shey
I am thinking you prefer vulgarity in English? Hokkien ? Cantonese?
Nowadays , young kids use a lot of singlish plus hokkien to curse and swear each other.
Sometimes i think even they use hokkien to XYZ people, they really did understand the real meaning of that few words they use? Or they just know that few only like CB,LP,CCB, KNN… ETC
I also dun mind vulgarity … I just don’t like when people send regards to my parents.
Well, if he/she send regards to my Dad, Hope my dad will pay them a visit tonight . :P hehehehehe
I trying to take away the “f” word and other hokkien vulgar word from my speech. I’ve using them since standard 4, maybe I trying not to be a self proclaim ah beng anymore….haha
lol… You’re definitely a weird one… :)
lol…. sometimes i do use on someone , well maybe he/she deserve to be screwed….:P
Peaches Mode: :D
RN1209: Hmm… is it? I don’t really see the connection. :P
Relax: The kopitiam one, is it the Muthu’s Curry or something like that one? I love that one. It’s so funny.
3point8: Hmm. I don’t know. I could be lovable at times… and a tyrant at other times if you cross me. Haha. :P
DamnMorgan: Well, I guess the good thing about you is that you dare to speak your mind. Not many people do. ;) And of course, you care for needy people. That’s very important!
Carl: Nice. Will check out some of his stuff when I’m free. :) Any particular recommendations?
yoi: Thanks, but your equation in Star Blog totally went over my head. :P
W: WAPANG! THANKS FOR THE !@#$ LOL.
zhuzhu8376: I prefer English, particularly the F word cos it can be used in so many ways and I find that damn funny. I don’t really know Cantonese swear words but I find Hokkien swear words quite funny too. I like listening to those ah beng joke audio/video clips where there’s a lot of swearing. Cracks me up all the time!
Yes I was actually quite shocked when I was acting in a primary school once, and a schoolboy (maybe about 8 years old) started scolding his friend KNNBCBB. Well, the auto-pilot-adult in me was shocked, but then I was secretly amused.
kennhyn: Haha yeah I know. I had to work very hard to stop swearing after coming back from Australia. :P
Horizon: Hey, I think many people like swearing too. Haha. :P
The same guy who did the RK house no pork prank, but at a kopitiam this time
talking hokkien :P
If u want hard core F words, try namewee’s blog, or I just put one sample here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRYTACnIiVw
or teacher khoo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aTI4Im4KZo
Oppsss…. I already drop a time bomb here..
*Runs away*
Haha. This guy is really good. Nice rap and the “sentense making”… lol. The A one is freaking funny… cos it’s the first.
Oh yah, RK house, that sounds familiar. Don’t think I’ve heard the kopitiam one. Or maybe I did, can’t remember.
Ooohhhh Sheylara… u took so much time to watch these lengthy videos for me… I’m so touched… Aaaa.. Aaa…Aaaaa….
ya Namewee is super controversial, he went on newspaper a few times and our govenment last time tried to hunt him down
he writes very good song and his video editing is good
anyways, kopitiam one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O0NzaiB7ys
This is what happen when our world is free from vulgarity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdTqCQi5FLQ&feature=channel_page
that’s why F word is important :P
lol… *bish* cool the kopitiam one is as funny as the RK house one. But actually I’m wondering if it’s scripted and fake. Cos I can’t imagine the kopi uncle being so free to entertain this guy. I know most kopi uncles will just walk away and just bring him the kopi peng and not answer all his questions.
But if it’s really fake, then they are darn good voice actors.
Fake one lah…. they r recording their voices even before they say they “press record”
aiya, next time if wanna avoid F word,
learn from teacher Hew and say Aaaa aaaa Aaaaa berapa
@shey
Well, that is quite common nowadays.. I am a hokkien but just can’t stand it ,when people only know how to speak vulgarity hokkien.
My friends always said (if you want to learn a language learn the vulgarity first ,it is more easy to pick up).
Japanese for Crab Pot ( Kani Nabe かになべ 蟹鍋 )<— Sounds familar to you?
:P
@Relax
Nice one lol!!!!!!
Question: How do you use the F-word?
Answer: Like a comma…
@Sheylara: Your Twitter update now reads “I suddenly realise that I’m hungry – 14 days ago”. And one of your redeeming virtues is that you forgive and forget. An obtuse line of thought, I know, but that just seems funny to me:)
Eh? I just made that equation up, it does exists tho.
Lol. Read it here, http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/01/06/happiness.equation/index.html
Apparently i was a lil’ outdated; equation was found in 2003… didn’t know time was that fast.
“After interviewing 1,000 people, the researchers — a psychologist and a self-styled “life coach” — concluded that happiness equals P + 5E + 3H.
In the equation, P stands for Personal Characteristics (outlook on life, adaptability and resilience); E for Existence (health, friendships and financial stability) and H represents Higher Order (self-esteem, expectations and ambitions).”
I don’t know how to quantify those PEHs. Maths ftl.
@Shey
More from Ricky with lots of swearing…
In a new audiobook, The Ricky Gervais Guide To Medicine, the 47-year-old calls (via The Telegraph) people who get stomach surgery to lose weight “lazy f***ing fat pigs” who should go for a run instead:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/03/ricky-gervais-defends-his_n_155045.html
Relax: Oh yeah that’s true. haha, I totally missed that. Very sharp, you. :) Then I must say they are very very good. Cos the voice acting is so natural and funny. And I would rather say the F word than aaa aaa aaa :P
zhuzhu8376: When I was in Japanese class and we first learned the word nabe, everyone in class cracked up. :P
Jesta: That’s why it’s funny, I think.
RN1209: lol, okay, that is really quite, um remote, but okay I get ya. :P
Yoi: Wow, okay, do they have equations for love too? :P
Carl: Yeah I read about that. Lots of people criticising him for it. Quite a good topic to blog about, but then I’m lazy these days. Haha.
Shey
lol….. ya just like that おう (Black oil)
Er… I don’t get the black oil thing.
Another example of Mr Gervais using the “C’ word… (A brief blog entry I posted last November)
http://carlgriffith.blogs.com/weblog/2008/11/evil-cnts-in-china.html
He’s pretty cool, with that blunt frankness. ;)
@Zhuzhu8376: The mention of “black oil” reminds me of the X-Files…
