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?!
ahahahahahah u went all the way to paris to eat food u could easily get back in the UK? :P
Not my idea!! Stupid Piers…
Seems like you’re having a lot of fun there. :D
ha ha ha that’s too funny maybe he will something close to corn beef and cabbage in Paris but on a fancy scale :)
You look like you are having a blast thanks for sharing.
Dun mind me asking, but from all the previous posts you have posted recently, it would seem that you are seeing Piers now, although I am sure you stated that you and him are just friends, well just an observation.
Anyway I know this place in Pasir Panjang that has a very good burger that you should try one day when you decide to come back to SG. Lastly, are there ever going to be anymore game updates on yoru website, again just wondering.
@Jesse: Yes, we had a lot of fun. Thanks for commenting! :)
@Jennycah: Haha. Okay he was just kidding me. Stupid Piers! :P
@Naiveguy: Well, let’s just say that we always start out as friends, don’t we? ;)
Where’s the burger place? Need address! :) And I don’t know about game updates… depends on whether I have time to play. Usually no time to play while on holiday, lol.
Its the food centre at pasir panjang, the new mrt line is being constructed next to it, the shop is called MoMo or something to that extend, the burger you want to order is the MoMo Ultimate.
The problem with this place is that it has so much good food like BBQ sting ray, chix wings and satay that few will try the burger out. but one time I decided to give it a try and I was a convert.
As for the games, no worries, take your time, just missed all your game reviews and intros. Heck, if not for you, I would not even know of some of the games I played.
Wow, thanks for the recommendation. Will try it out! But a bit hard to get to before the MRT is open, huh? :(
Yeah a bit hard to get to there without a car, on the plus side, parking there after 5pm is free everyday and free on sundays whole day. All this talk about burgers have made me craved for it more so I will be heading tonite to get my monthly dose of good burgers. If you ever need a ride there before mrt do let me know and we can see if we can arrange some sort of small group outing there :)
Oh, small group outing sounds good! ;)
