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: Might wanna update your SB banner there, if you have the time:)
@RN1209: Wah! Doing QC check on Sheylara’s blog…. :P
What about Asian Male and Caucasian Female? Would their offspring be any less/more appealing?
It’s kinda odd how the question about multi-racial Singaporeans was presented to you…
It’s sort of subconscious biological factor, which is related to natural selection.
You see, each race has its own “advantages” and “disadvantages” so that they can survive well in its environment. Caucasians have better sexual natural selection advantage compare to other races (maybe due to shorter mating season) and they can easily outmatch Asians in terms of winning the mating game. Mind you, all this happens subconsciously and I think social factor doesn’t play heavy role compare to Biological factor.
(you can read the book Race and Culture. I forgot the author’s name)
To Relax:
i dun know where u read this nonsense from, but common sense wld tell u otherwise. Caucasian r white w colored eyes BCOS they lived in the North, a seasonal topography. Hence, they shld hv Longer mating season than ppl who live in areas where there is virtually no season, like the tropics, namely the blacks, indians, asian, etc. this is how they adapt to envir to survive! & statistics shld tell u tt the Caucasians r not very effective at mating. Asians out populate them 10 to 1! Even their genetic cousin, the indians fare dramatically better than them, just bcos they lve in less seasonal areas. Trust me, any race has better sexual advantage than the caucasians. Ppl only think they r ‘sexy’ bcos of the prejudice that they r of a ‘better’ race than others.
Well as far as i can see none of any races mentioned here have bred out so were doing okay, It is inevitable that all races will continue to mix until we all become one race most adapted to life on earth their will neither be blue eyes nor black hair all will have medium brown skin and hair and brown eyes, there are also faults with every race that need to be excluded through evolution you do not need any book, theory or philosophy it’s just plain common sense.

“Caucasians r not very effective at mating. Asians out populate them 10 to 1! ”
Yeah, we’ve been using birth control and encouraging women to go to college instead of early motherhood for quite a while. So inferior huh? Look at Japan’s population decline BTW. If you think living in a place with a billion poor people is superior, then by all means, go there!
Race mixing is just a chance for both groups to experience something different before the world is all one boring race. Asian + caucasian is a good match because it’s East meets West and both sides can appreciate each other for where they’re from, but just a warning to you Asian girls, a lot of guys are always first curious about how sex is different with an Asian girl.
Some of us are past that stage and can only think about marrying asian women. Especially after seeing how much more wholesome asian girls are compared to white girls who are really carefree about sex with new people.
