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: Yay! Balance has been restored:) The Toa Payoh outlet sounds familiar leh… is it at the Hub?
No idea. Never been there. I went to the Geylang one.
@Sheylara: Anyway, this post is very timely. Lunch, anyone?:)
Not a big fan of porridgde but this one seems very tempting.
yup. Its great, but hardly eat there, cause still not quite worth the $…
@Shey
Thanks for the information. i will try it out since i love porridge very much and hope it don’t disappoint me.
:p
Expensive meh? I find it reasonable.
Try the Tiong Poh Road branch cos it’s the pioneer branch and has been around for decades, apparently, so might be better. But I also hear it’s very crowded. =P
Mouth watering, but so far!
the grey stuff on the first picture looks disturbing… the rest looks pretty cool, xept that I got no clue what it is ;]
The grey stuff is called century egg. Some kind of a preserved egg which tastes kinda gross unless you grew up eating it and am used to it, lol.
THANKS! Me and my wife loooovvvveee porriage. Always like to see all your makan post. Gotta go try it out one of these nites.
Oooo, my spare tire getting bigger :P
btw any idea what is the shop operating hours?
Hehe… porridge won’t contribute much to “spare tyre” lah. :P
Tiong Poh/Geylang: 7am to 3pm and 5:30pm to 12mn
Toa Payoh: 7am to 10pm
Oh my! I love porridge!
The pics are so well taken and those yummy food is making me so hungry!
Devorlast, the egg looks icky, but (I think a lot will agree) the taste is so unique, there’s nothing to compare it to! It goes very well with rice congee! But don’t smell it, it smells like jio. Haha!
