The danger of multi-tasking

Throat feeling scratchy all day. Hope I'm not falling sick, but cute little toddlers have been coughing in my face all week. 2 weeks ago
Found this chicken feather stuck under an egg. Didn't see it when I unpacked it into the fridge before. O_o http://t.co/y8KNKcNG 2 weeks ago
Dropped a corn flake on kitchen floor, can't find it (floor is brown). Wonder if Piers will be upset if he finds it with his foot later. 3 weeks ago
Today in the nursery a little girl fell asleep on her plate in the middle of having a snack. So cute! 3 weeks ago

The danger of multi-tasking

I have a missing blog entry!

LOL.

Yesterday, I went to the Nuffnang office for a casual lunch + meeting. While waiting for everyone to be ready for lunch, I sat there and typed a blog on my iPhone.

Around the time I was about to finish up the entry, we started walking out to the restaurant.

So, usually, after I post a blog, I will read it once through to check for mistakes.

We sat down for lunch.

At this time, I was super multi-tasking. I had already published the blog and was trying to check and edit mistakes (which is quite tricky to do on the iPhone).

At the same time I was also trying to decide on my food order AND have two conversations at once (one with my manager, Raine, and the other with Boss Ming and Nanny Wen and Elise).

I finally managed to get my entry up and relatively mistake free. Or so I thought.

I didn’t think anything of it until I received a tweet from one of my readers, like, 24 hours later:

The title of my post was “This weird person”. And it’s not on my blog anymore. Neither is it in the archive. It’s gone missing!

Doh.

I must have deleted it accidentally while trying to edit it while trying to order lunch while trying to have two conversations at once.

Now I’m wondering whether I should rewrite the entry. It’s just a stupid encounter I had yesterday which is not terribly interesting so I’m not really bothered that it’s gone.

But sorry if you got it on RSS and couldn’t find it.

Sometimes, I can be as blur as Nanny Wen. :D

@sheylara you should really repost it i like
reading ALL of your blogs XD

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?!
