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?!

National Leaf Day? Or, portable toilet paper?
its ganja… so they can get their fix easily
it might have a religious meaning because Deepavali is just next week.
And there’s a big temple near UE Square, right?
@Sheylara: My guess is the same as Minou’s. Its probably for offering prayers of some sort to one of the deities.
They are mango leaves. During Deepavali Hindus decorate the entrances of their homes with them, along with floor art.
If i’m not wrong, it’s for the fire – walking ceremony.
LEAF them alone. They are just trying to cross the street =P
Not very smart to carry flamablr object during fire walking… What if they fall?
Maybe they are “leafing, on a jet plane” :)
Possible captions for the picture
“Please don’t mind us. We barked up the wrong tree”
Guy one: Have you seems my leaves. I don’t remember when I put them?
Guy two: Silly. They are in your skirt where you left them
“Trust me, if we keep these leaves in our pants, we WILL get on Sheylara.com”
Rush hour in Singapore: The only way to get a cab.
“Now, when we get to the bank, remember to tell them that we use these as our national currency”
“Bob, that was a freak’en powerful leaf blower. I can actually still feel the leaves. Black and Decker rocks!!”
“Remember, the object is to draw the MOST attention to ourselves”
“Dude, when you bought these skirts, you should have made sure they had pockets”
“So let me get this right, Bob. You gave away our shoes AND our clothes for these “magic” leaves”??
Here’s another:
“Trust me. These will make it more comfortable sitting on the hard seat on the MRT”
“Trust me, if we keep these leaves in our pants, we WILL get on Sheylara.com”
Hahaha this is funny.
yeah i think its for their festival thingy.
Should get shots of them doing thaipusam or something, it should be much more cooler! :D
