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?!

haha.. shouldn’t u draw a more proper picture of nanny wen?
I’m not an artist lah. I can’t draw everything!
ooooh i forgot to complain that you drew my left hand 10 times fatter than my right!
and the bee stung me my right elbow, not the left.
ok im jus kidding! dont put me on drawing ban!!
ahahaha… well, redraw a picture of her in the right skirt color.. and not fatty hand. or was that cause from the bee sting that made nanny wen hand grew larger .. ?
and ur cartoon has sound effect.. how am i not suppose to get obsessed?
Notice that you been drawing a lot of illustrations lately? You into drawing comics or got a new gadgets that let you draw?
nannywen: You’re welcome to draw youself and send me the jpgs. I still have a few more parts of the story to publish. :P
tvbaddict: What has sound effects got to do with anything?? The reason her one arm is larger is because I have to show where the bee landed mah. It would have been hard to show that on a stick arm. :P
I suppose I could draw the other arm equally big, but then I would have to draw the body and legs too, and then it won’t be a stick character anymore. Doh.
tiger4: Haha, no. Like I mentioned last week, I got tired of writing activity posts, and those are the only posts that have actual photos to accompany.
So it’s not that I’m into drawing, but more than I’m into writing random nonsense blogs that don’t come with photos, so no choice have to draw my own.
The jungle blogs is because I didn’t bring my camera into the jungle. (Which was a lucky thing cos I would have thrashed it totally.) :P
it makes it more real.. like i can feel the bee sting. :P
*tsk tsk tsk* singaporeans, got drawings for illustration you people still complain. Later, no blogs to read at all.
Thanks Monster!
Love your post heaps! Thanks for believing in teachers. It’s not an easy job to say the least! And I’m glad that you had good teachers and you appreciate and appreciated them.
tvbaddict: I see. Thanks for the compliment. :P
tiger4: Haha… Singaporeans love complaining, especially about free stuff. :P
Monster: I think you’re the best teacher in the whole world. I’m so proud of you to be able to stick in this profession for so long and do so well!
Your title sure caught my attention :-)
Your Aussie teacher Peters quite a slob huh! lazy to pack her clothes and just leave them on the bed – sounds just like me
ZQ
Yeah, your title very HAPPENING, and I was looking for some hot stuff here, haha, end up looking at the mess on the bed, and not what HAPPENED on the bed. LOL!
Nice one on teachers, made me remember my past teachers too, hmmm, maybe I shall write about them too… sooon….
ZQ: It’s Waters, not Peters. :P And, generally, I find that Australians are on the whole messier than us. lol. Not that that’s a bad thing. I can get pretty messy myself but I would feel so guilty about it. Dunno why also.
STUMPBO: Haha. Thanks :) Good to hear you have nice teachers you remember too!
@Sheylara: Yep, it’s one of our fav hobbies after food and free stuff.
