You mean, like, I don’t even have the clothes on my back?
In that case, the first thing I would do is walk into a pasar malam, as inconspicuously as possible, to buy some cheap clothes.
But I suppose that would be rather absurd. I’d be arrested first.
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?!
I hope that when you got down to your last $2 you would still have the clothes on your back, since I don’t think that $2 buys much in the way of clothes these days.
I also hope that maybe you could give the $2 to the photographer to persuade him/her to keep you in focus :o)
@Sheylara: Heh, this post can also be categorised as an unofficial “Fashion Diary” entry. You can call it “Honey No Money”:)
Well, whatever it is, the pictures are sizzling HOT though.
Hell yea!
@GK
Hot? Think probably feeling cold at Funan last Sat ~
@RN1209
LoL ~ $2 fashion diary ? Dun think u can even buy a cute hairclip with that ~
LOOK AT THAT WASHBOARD TUMMY!
How did you managed to stay in that shape despite seeing you posting your food escape everytime?
Hmmm… last assest $2? Happen to me last thursday. I have to endure until Friday afternoon for my company to deposit my salary into my bank account. :(
My last asset is a two-dollar bill?
well , when i was younger my family was poor … :(. i got one elder sister and elder brother arm with us with only 10 cents in the pockets,together ee bought 3 pcs of hack honey lemon favoured sweet for 10 cents, then walk all the way back home from the provision shop.
We are poor but we are happy. :p
Jesta: It would be rather hard for me to give the photographer my $2 considering that the photographer was my camera herself and she’s not in the habit of accepting monetary gifts.
She might appreciate a fresh change of batteries, though.
RN1209: That would be rather ironic, to name a photo “Honey No Money” when the model is holding a $2 note. :P
GK: Well, thank you!
SpiritAngelo: Haha… can lah, hairclip have less than $2 one. :P But then there’s no more money left to wear anything else. :P
tiger4: Where got washboard? No packs and indents. lol. Anyway, those photos were taken after maybe 15 hours of not eating. Recently, I’ve been eating my first meal of the day during dinner time. Second meal would be supper time.
When I have meals out, I eat a lot. When at home, not much since I can only eat what’s available at home (usually snacks and junk food). And considering that I only have an average of 2 meals a day, it’s a little hard to put on weight. :P
zhuzhu8376: Aww, that sounds pretty sweet. The good ol’ days, huh? ;)
@Sheylara: It will turn me off if a lady have packs and indents on their tummy. And my wife will kill to have a figure like yours.
Really salute you for your eating habits. You can really endure the hunger. But on a healthy side, it is not healthy to be like this. So please eat more, so that we can read more interesting stories from you :P
GGF FTW!
I know it’s not healthy. I have no choice. Really no time to get food in the day time!
@Sheylara: Awww… you poor thing. It’s bad enough to have no time to play games. Now no time to eat (and sleep?) as well.
I understand your pain for the game part. :(
Sheylara: Now you see the problem… You should use a pro (*cough*) more often…
:o)
The pro lives too far away, unfortunately. :P
