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?!

mainly cos its malaysia and she;s a minority living there and a darn good politician hence the big hoo ha
i mean for me she looks normal abit of showing ‘u know where’ but overall i feel that she not that hot [i think nude models are more worth my time LOL]
but basically she;s being made an example becos of who she is… and where she stays…
For purely evolutionary reasons there is ample reason for people to have keen, but mostly subconscious, interest in the reproductive health of the tribe. Hence the business model of People magazine (who is with whom; who’s pregnant?). The trouble starts because everyone is also in competition with each other, so if someone is seen to break the rules… punishment! All sadly primitive.. but all too human.
Ooooooo….. writing about Malaysian politix…. that’s a bit sneaky and spicy…. be careful
How do you really know if she had her picture taken without permission? For all we know she gets a few millions after the dust settles. you are aware of the cross over politix happening recently right? This high profile crying publicity might just be her alibi to quit. who knows for sure.
Come to think of it, would you symphatize Najib when he cries like E Wong? They are politicians!!!!
Sheylara >> i rather they focus more on helping the poor and needy than smearing their opponents..
@shey
This is just another game for the politicians. :P
Sheylara,
I don’t get what the big deal is about nudity either?
The most baffling thing of all to me is when I see women at the gym that are so afraid to be seen nude by other women that they won’t shower in the women’s locker room and they drive home a sweaty and stinky mess, and if they change clothes it’s in a stinky and dirty toilet stall. Most of the women at my gym are not such prudes, but their are some prudes like I described.
Were all women in there and we all have the same parts. I find it silly and childish when some prudish women feel that they have to hide from other women in the locker room.
There are some cultures where women are not prudes around each other, and you may see grandmothers, daughters and granddaughters bathing along side other women who are complete strangers in bath houses and no one feels the slightest bit of shame.
