How do I wash clothes that have little fur pom poms attached to them???

The very first YouTube video I favourited (four years ago) was of this pair of baby lolitas in Harajuku playing around.
They’re so so so so cute in their little lolita costumes that I can’t stop staring!
Coming back to Singapore from Macau, I forgot to pack my toiletries into my check-in luggage. They were in my hand-carry for convenience as I travelled around China for six days.
So I ended up having to throw five bottles away when stopped at Customs. Couldn’t check in anymore because the counter had closed by then.
Lucky I’m only using L’Oreal products. If I’m using something like SK-II, I will die!

I’ve been taking Jetstar Asia cos it’s cheap and comfortable. But the food service is making me think twice now!
Halfway through my flight to Macau, I was hungry and needed food. But they had run out of hot food and only had a few paltry snacks left.
I had to make do with peanuts, urgh! (The food isn’t cheap, too. Chicken rice is like $12.)
They don’t allow people to bring their own food and yet they don’t stock enough to serve all passengers.
HOW CAN LIKE THAT?! =(
Advertorial
I procrastinated writing this post for a week because it’s such a torment looking at my photos and remembering the succulent, delicate taste of the KFC Egg Tart.
Talk about job hazard.
Every time I open up my photos folder to start blogging, I get a major craving. A sweet savoury fragrance teases my senses. My tongue luxuriates on the creamy texture and my taste buds tingle with the delectable freshness of the egg custard.

Seriously! Such a craving it is that my mind starts imagining that the egg tart is there and I’m eating it when it’s not really happening.
Aaaaargh!
Oh, yeah. I’ll bet some of you don’t know yet that KFC now serves Portuguese egg tarts (using the authentic recipe that was developed by the famous Margaret Wong in Macau).
Well, now you know!

Yums!
It’s really good quality egg tart!
The crust is crispy and fluffy. The custard is so smooth and creamy. And the top layer, where the dark spots of caramelised sugar form interesting patterns so that no two egg tarts ever look the same, is so lickable and almost crunchy!

There is just the right amount of sweetness in the custard to complement the buttery flakiness of the crust, filling your mouth with an exquisite burst of flavour!

See how I torment myself!!
Every bite is pure delight!
Now you know why I had to procrastinate this post for so long!
Well, it’s about time I paid a visit to KFC again. It’s one of my favourite places to eat at, actually. (I order delivery quite a lot too. There was one time I ordered twice in a week, OMG.) I love the fried chicken to bits!
I think I will be able to indulge in this awesome new discovery quite often. Heheh.

I so love the golden yellow look of them!
The egg tarts are baked fresh on the spot at KFC restaurants, so you can be sure of getting steaming hot tarts fresh from the oven.
They taste good even after they’ve sat around for a bit and cooled, but they taste even better hot. You gotta try them hot! It’s totally heavenly!

The egg tarts cost $1.30 each or $7.50 a box of six.
Getting the box is a really great idea. Because one is never enough!
Haha. Seriously, the box is designed just in time for Chinese New Year, with red and gold themes.
Perfect for gifting, I think.

If you were going to visit me during CNY, I’d rather you bring me a box of egg tarts than oranges. Haha.
But, erm, if you’re going to visit in-laws or your girlfriend’s/boyfriend’s parents, don’t skip the oranges. Bring them AND a box of these egg tarts to score major points! Hehe.
The sides of the box open up into a cute heart shape! How cool is that!

ISN’T THIS JUST PERFECT FOR A CHINESE NEW YEAR THAT FALLS ON THE SAME DAY AS VALENTINE’S DAY??
Whoever came up with this box design is quite a genius!
Inside the box:

Major droolage!
Nah! Valentine’s New Year present for you!

Heheh.
I have been thinking of getting a box and sharing them with my friends. But now I’m craving it so much I think I’ll probably finish the whole box before they get to my friends!

OMG aaaaaaaaaahh it’s killing me, looking at me so tantalisingly!
Help me!!
Maybe I should get two boxes, instead?

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?!
