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?!
I have a question to the GoonFather: Do you play GTA?
GTA as in Grand Theft Auto? On what platform?
I so despise the Goonfather (kissing the ring).
How does Goonfather look like?
Here’s a good pic of him, (I hope he does not mind) — Click here to see.
Looks like someone is interested. :)) *jk*
@GoonFather: Yea, Grand Theft Auto. Just Grand Theft Auto, I love that series of games, as you can see from my site :).
Yea. I do play GTA. The first version on PC, then on Liberty City Stories on PSP, now waiting for GTA4 for PS3 which should be available very very soon.
Hey dude! FF7:CC is already out!!!
i seriously hope your not sleeping wit him. whoever he is.
what the hell skim wrote above lol….
your goonfather should be a nice funny person …. :)
@GoonFather: Loving IV, eh? Tell me when you guys unlock Algonquin. Can you imaging Star Junction? Wow.
You forgot to add that he is VERY long-suffering… Not only puts up with you in real life, but online too!
(The Godfather theme stuck in my head)
Hmmm….. Skim wanna sleep with me?
-=}{oT~dEv1L 666=- : I havent been playing GTA4. :(
oh god she is sleeping with him.
skim: You from a single parent family?
An amoeba family?
lol amoeba family.
NO i am not frm single parent family
goonfather reminds me of harry frm SATC
Let him make you an offer you can’t refuse
Are you Zhurourong… from SWG? Pardon my memories…. it is really going down the drain…
I certainly hope he’s not sleeping with her either. Not because of looks, I’m not judgemental like that, but because she looks like she’s about 14 years old, and he looks like he’s about 30. And on a side note, how the hell does a 14 year old girl get to sit in on an exclusive Fable2 demonstration with Peter Molyneux himself? I swear all you need is to be a girl+a gamer+cute=get in to events like this.
Yup, the guy in the pic does looked like he’s over 30 and fat and bald and ..uh… I think he’s not the goon sheylara is mentioning.. unless that guy is rich.. then that’s another story.l
Man, what is up with you people and GFather’s looks? I’m surprised there’s such recent posts here. In fact, I shouldn’t have posted coz now someone somewhere is gonna get a notification of my follow-up comment and come back and…
@Dave: Sure, Sheylara looks really young and all, but 14? Come on, even Microsoft ain’t that crazy…:)
Hi Sheylara ! There are not many girls who likes videogames in Italy, I LOVE JAPAN !!! Ciao!
@Bruno: Err, bro… you do realise that Sheylara is Singaporean, and that Singapore isn’t in Japan?:)
@ohgod: That IS the goon she’s mentioning la.. See this post for more confirmation: http://sheylara.com/2007/02/22/goonfathers-goonmobile/
Can also see from that pic that he’s rich (RX8 man), so I guess there’s the “another story”. ;)
sup with ur comment?Bet he’s cooler then you.
goonfather:hey hey i want to sleep wif u…..lols just joking. i am underage and a guy(NOT GAY)….LOLS
lol goonfather u really look like a goon lol
sheylera u deserve someone better man
looks doesnt matter. from how sheylara blogs abt him, he seems like a guy that will rlly make a girl feel happy just by being with him. :)
Thank you. :)
Kindly get your better half to slim down and what’s his profession?
Its sad to see people are getting rudder (if there is such a word) by the day…no…by the seconds…Why can’t people have nice things to say about others?
Guys guys guys, get over it. He’s obviously got what it takes to win the heart of Sheylara, which in my opinion makes him a total legend. Plus, I think he looks like someone one out of an old Kung Fu movie. And that can only be a good thing.
Whats your problem @ Bill.
Not happy that he is better than you ah, jealous sia aw :(
maybe cos appearance-wise, sheylara also cmi -.- all photoshop!!! wouldnt rule out that possibility…
hais…
but, love is blind :)
Apparently Sheylara and The Goonfather are already married with children so of course they are sleeping together like DOH!
Anyway… Love is not about who is worthy of who. In a relationship, the most important thing is that both parties genuinely love each other and that, I truly believe that is enough :)
When you love someone, you don’t need a reason why. You just love him/her. You will disregard all the minor details that in fact mean nothing at all.
Those people with negative comments, bet you all have never fallen in love before right?
And why do you care so much about their blissful family life anyway?? They are happy and that’s all that matters.
i know this is as old as time but i just recently followed the goon father and shey! holy shit! u guys are amazing together, i have been seeing my partner which eventually became my wife for the last 10 years and hopefully till death do us part now, we have a son together and cannot be happier, like sheylara and gf, my wife is petite, small and imo the most beautiful person in the world and i am (by my own admission) is the furthest thing apart from being don juan. so for all you f-heads up there dissing the gf you can go and get f-ed! love u both! gf and shey! ever in australia, give me a buzz! ooo btw, you got my wife and i hooked on your blog! especially anything with the goonfather we like! :)
<3 from perth!
Perthcouple: Thank you for your very nice and thoughtful comment! :)
