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?!

There’s a very easy way to get paid in these situations. Change professions :P
:D ty
shey that is funny lol i even started to giggle at first lol its true XD
Thanks for sharing this site!
I really have to warn others of this particular conman (I would really wish to refrain myself from using that word, but I can’t) – Augustine Justin Cheo Yi Tang. I dare to put his full name down as I am certainly not accusing an innocent person.
After I was not paid for the job I did for him, I did a little research and discovered that he conned others before me. And I also found out that he conned one more after conning me. Such guts!
I know Augustine Justin Well and i believe he is not such a person coz i have work with him many times and he does pay me in cash or in his own company cheque once after an event or 14 days after event. And if he have conned many others, i don’t think he will still be working in this industry and doing so many other events. So freelancer, please stop framing others when you don’t event know the truth.
wow! i thought no one would dare disclose Augustine Justin’s sins!!! Im wrong… seriously Im one of the victims. I have friends who said that he likes to borrow money and not pay back. Though my freelance payment is insignificant, I urge anyone who is approach by him to have black and white on the agreed fees. I’ve heard from other freelancers not being paid by him… Jazzy is probably one of the lucky ones to be paid or someone associated to him. So freelancers beware! Be very careful and remember this name…
WOW someone is speaking up for Augustine!?! Perhaps Jazzy is the conman himself. Afterall, Ausutine Justin Cheo Yi Tang is good in lying and delaying payments. And then DISAPPEARS. No matter how many phone calls or sms or emails one sends to him, there will be no reply at all. One should be lucky that IF he even replies, but only to be unlucky as Augustine Justin Cheo Yi Tang will try to delay payment, citing some reasons.
Does he even have lots of events to cover these days? Maybe yes… Cos he manages to cover his shit rather well and continues to con other unsuspecting victims.
How he is able to survive? He uses the $$ he conned/not paid to those. That’s for sure! DUH!
And oh! He borrows camera equipments and NOT return to the extent that he only returns AFTER the guy goes to report the police. And he returned cos if he doesn’t, he has to go jail cos it was a criminal offence!
To Contractor, I dunno who you are… But I know how you probably had felt. Im not sure how much was your payment supposedly by him, but we should really make people be aware of a conman like Augustine Justin Cheo Yi Tang!
Like Freelancer, I DARED to say his full name out coz everything I said is the TRUTH! This I can swear on everything that matters to me!
Augustine Justin Cheo Yi Tang is implicated in the Orchard Towers double murder! http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_1603_2009-10-31.html After the murders, they obtained the help of two friends, Gemma Louise Ramsbottom and Augustine Justin Cheo Yi Tang, to search the apartment for Kho’s valuables and to dispose of the bodies.
How does the murder case link to his conning of pay? … i only know he is not trustworthy… Jaz.. i do not know how old you are or how close you are to him..or maybe you are actually he himself… all i know is .. i know for a very long time.. i thought after so many years … he probably be changed for the better…
After reading all these .. then i know he is still doing that, and if i do see him, i wish i could ask him…. “aren’t you tired??… being kena chased by people wherever you go?”.. as i am… after kena his shit.. and now gotta clean for him…
Hope he knows what he is doing.. if he does read this blog…
Always remember this… Heaven is fair….
Sg is small … and the industry is smaller … isn’t easy to bump into him ?
what goes around comes around … chill …
I agree w puppy … and remb : heaven has eyes … heaven is watching :D
