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?!

Think… ? THINK? You expect us to think?!
What kind of reader do you take us for?!
LOL. Nice one.
I ALWAYS read what you write,
By the way, have you ever thought about turning your blog in to a photo gallery? That would be much easier…
naw, pls write content! :D You are very pretty, and write nice! :D
Cheers!
LOL at previous 2 comments. don’t stop writing, photos are not enough.
i still read a few lines …. carry on writing… :P
Keep writing! I’m enjoying your entries. And adding a few more of your photos wouldn’t hurt either.
why not try uploading any pictures and write a reallllllll long post instead? rofl
pls write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! photos may be misinterpreted wrongly
I also noticed your entry gets pretty dry lately. Though never proven scientifically, I believe there is such a thing call writer’s block. Just like footballers also top form and low form, so on some days the energy just won’t flow.
The best way to deal with it is to take a break or do something different from your usual lifestyle. The key is to find new inspiration.
Hope it helps.
P/S: Alternatively if you run out of ideas of what to write, just write your daily life events like what time you woke, what you did, what you ate, take some photos would be good too. That can be bloody interesting for readers.
BTW you look much better without make up and all. Don’t need to make up too much, you have the natural beauty to flaunt.
What do we think? Think wat? Ok, i did read your post this time round though
I admit of late I am one of those who quickly scan through your post, checking out the photos. Sorry.
Well I believe you are entering the phase I am in, tons of things to do but dun have any drive to do it. End up playing stupid games, watching movies you seen before. Is there any way out? Tell me when you find it. :)
I guess I’m in the minority that pays more attention to what you write than the pictures posted.
How about doing something like a photo-essay, such as posting a photo of something you find interesting and writing off-hand about it?
That’ll be random enough to be interesting and refreshing.
noooo! i’ll miss your goonfather related ramblings. and the food columns as well!
Don’t change a thing. It’s great how it is.
I believe its a combination of everything, just like life. Think of it this way, in life, sometimes u have your funny joking moments, sometimes u have your serious sombre moments. U cant be either funny or serious all the time!
So you should mix up your blog with a variety ie both photos and writings.
More importantly, you should find blogging fun and not a chore. Hope to see you back in full force soon!
Facebook games are only meant to kill time, playing too much of it will undermine ur ability to write quality posts be it just a simple random musing, humor, adventures with stick figures drawing or regular GGF game reviews.
Finding new things to research about or pick up some new skills/interests could be some ways you can do to motivate urself to blog more often to satisfy ur ever increasing blog readers. Surely if u put extra effort in blogging, some of ur blog readers will appreciate it. Moreover, disappointing some readers by blogging short simple post most of the time is not what u want right? =P
One more vote for ‘STAY THE SAME, DO NOT CHANGE’…. lolx
Looking forward to your game reviews!! Although I still don’t own an XBox yet =/
Yes, you’re right, after playing a round of games my mind gets kind of stuck in a rut and if it’s daytime and a nice day I like to go for a long walk, it really clears my head, at nite I like to listen to music and read.
