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: Congrats!:)) Really happy for you, especially so since the SIF pulled it that time. Never doubted that it’d be screened somehow, eventually:)
WOW. SO. HAWT.

Woohooo!!!! Can’t wait to see my fav person on big screen! And yes! I’ll be in Spore to watch it too!!!! Whhhoooopppppeeeee!!!!! One question, what’s Sinema Old School? Is is the old MGS?
oh wow! so exciting! I’ll definitely watch it!
tvbaddict: Haha.. .which part do you like?
starmist: I’m not sure how it will turn out also. Apparently, the plot turned out different from what I expected when filming… and my director refused to tell me how. O_o
RN1209: Thanks for your support, always!
Daphne Maia: Awesome! Hope you like it!
Monster: Wow… great timing then! :) Sinema Old School is at 11 Mt Sophia. Not sure about MGS… I don’t even know where that was. :P
tstar: Yay! Thanks! :)
wow looking forward to the show. This is the one where u went for that road trip to KL right?
Any plans to release it in Aus? Or even get a copy of it somehow??
Would love to watch it!
tiger4: Yup that’s the one!
sam: Hmm… I don’t think it will be released commercially anywhere outside of Singapore. It’ll only be shown at film festivals. As for copies.. I don’t know. I don’t even have one myself… yet. :P
Monster,
Yup! I know where that is. It was the old Shatec. Used to study there. Kinda behind Cathay.
Congrats you are now an R(a) actress!
Congrats!!
Who are you in the film?
I am really disappointed, Sheylara. You are better than that. But it doesn’t really matter what I think.
Good luck.
Congrats Sheylara!!! I wish you all the best of luck and I hope one day this film will be available outside S’pore.
Lena, how exciting and a BIG congrats! Is it showing anywhere in August? I’ll be back in Singapore starting mid-August for three weeks.
@Sheylara: Ooo yes…. i wan 2 c the cat fight you did in the film
Why should you regret writing about this? It’s good to be a lead actress in a movie! Congrats!
Hmm… Sounds like an outing for the BarFlies. =)
wow….nice to bump to ur site here….will visit here often….very sexy picture of u
aww booo :( when you get one send me one, ya? ;)
Monster: Cool! It’s a bit inaccessible for those without vehicles, though, I think.
pooktothehead: Haha. Very funny.
Shu Fen: Thanks! :) I’m Sandy in the film.
Mike M: Huh? What are you talking about? Should I run for president instead of being an actress, then?
Lobo: Thanks very much!
Sharon: Thank you! I don’t think it’ll be showing anymore after this July run. Not too sure, though. But looking forward to catching up with you when you’re back!
tiger4: Haha… I’m curious to see that myself, too. I can’t imagine how it will turn out…
Miss Glitzy: Hey, thanks for dropping by! I think I’m going to regret because I have no idea how the film will turn out. What if I’m really bad in it?? lol..
JayWalk: Heh, thanks for your support! Hope to see you there. :)
via: Thanks for your comment!
sam: I’ll let you know if it’s ever released for purchase! ;)
@Sheylara: Hey! You went down to Jusco @ Tebrau City in JB yesterday? My wife spotted you with Goon boss, Wang Wang n Morte there. Too bad, I was away else I will come up n ask for photo n autographs. :p
That’s not what I said at all. But again, it doesn’t matter what I think or say. I only matters what you think.
I hope it goes well for you Sheylara.
Talk about controversy. Now I feel like as ass.
malaysia got show or not?
tiger4: Wah, so cool… we happened to be in the same mall in a foreign country at the same time! Hehe. We were brought there by our tour guide during our durian tour.
chris: I don’t think so.
wow i was reading through your blog and i see that you mention r21. then sinema. and ting*. my friend who wrote a review for sinema came into my mind. she had once told me her debut review for sinema was a r21 show for sinema. how coincidental is that. and as i scroll down i see her name miao, haha. wad a small small world. i wouldn’t have read her review if i hadn’t see it posted here.
@Sheylara: I was on a durian tour that day and brought there by my tour guide too! My tour is organized by NUS-NTU and arranged by Chan Bros.
yandao87: Wow, what a great coincidence! Funny that you found your friend’s review through someone else’s blog! :P
tiger4: Oh my, another great coincidence! How was your durian tour? Ours was really disappointing. I mean the durians really sucked!
@Sheylara: My durian eating session is disappointing. We expect to be taken to some sort of durian plantation. End up in a rural area walk in from the main road next to some durian stalls. -_-”
I only take one seed of durian as my body is a bit heaty. But overheard from others that the durian not very solid. From the one I ate, I have taste better ones bought from NTUC :P
Here are some photos I took for my trip.

Hmm… from your photos, it does look like a durian plantation leh. And OMGGGGGG, we were in the same seafood restaurant!!! And that Yoyo shop!!! lolololol. I wonder how much those two establishments paid all the tour agencies to bring us there, haha. :P
I wan to go back to Yoyo shop!!!
@Wang Wang: What you want to buy? According to my m’sian colleagues, the place is a 1 hour ride from JB.
I am currently checking to see does the shop do deliveries? Wanna chip it if they do? Hehehe

Answering on Wang Wang’s behalf. I’m sure she’ll be happy to chip in. :P
