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?!

Lucky you to have met romantic guys!
Hey Sheylara..
When Pierre Png donated part of his liver to save his gal from dying.. thatz shows true love or romance dun comes in gifts, candies or dinner at 5 star hotels..
You have a funny guy like The Goonfather is enough loh :D
(Did any of your BF pinched your cheeks? )
I find Valentine Day to be overhype n become too commercialize.
You dun have to buy flowers or treat your partner an expensive valentine day dinner to show your love on this day. A simple “I Love You” or a card with some personal message can do wonders. If your relationship is good, everyday can be Valentine Day.
Like my wife, she told me not to buy any gifts, flowers or dinner. All she want is that I accompany her n stay by her side for this Sat. That’s more than enough for her.
To All, Happy Valentine Day!
Sheylara…
Every saturday me n my gal will get fast food or hawker food for dinner.. play some PS2 or watch TV.. and we spend the night at the park, chatting.. yeah this valentines day.. i thought of making her dinner and watch a DVD.. yeah..
Wish you an awesome Valentines Day.. yeah.. =)

lonely on valentines day….:)
and i decide to celebrate valentine by going to my friend’s house to practice for my Halo compitition…then ,i have a male valentine…BUT i am not GAY!!!!!
lols
dead_cockroach: Haha, I suppose I have been lucky then. It’s weird, though. I’m surprised that the other Star Bloggers said opposite things from me. :P
Darz: Yes, romance can come in many forms!
Relax: Haha. Yes, I find laughing together with your partner very romantic and I enjoy a lot of that! ;) Uh… pinch cheeks? Why would they do that?? I’m not a baby!
tiger4: Yeah, Valentine’s Day is overhyped. That’s why I don’t really go all out to celebrate it, but just to take the chance to go out have a meal and buy a small present, just for the fun of it. I mean, we already go out for meals and occasionally buy each other small presents, so V Day isn’t anything special!
Darz: That’s very romantic! Hope you have an awesome V Day too, this year!
aaron: Awww, sad. But then playing games is fun. I don’t mind playing games on V Day! :P
Hi babe,
thanks for your very entertaining blog. I simply love reading your thoughts. =) Have fun sitting at home gaming with the GF this coming valentines!
hugs!
@Shey
You so lucky to met so many romantic guys. Playing game at home on V Day also good idea, as long as both of you all enjoy each other company.
P.S Watching anime and playing game to ease my pain on V Day :p
jal: Thanks for your kind words! :) Have a great Valentine’s Day yourself! ;)
zhuzhu8376: Aww, don’t be sad. Enjoy your anime and playing game. Many people want to but don’t have the luxury to! :P
