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?!
im very please in your career
sheilara i love you and i want to marrie with you ,i am from chile and need you to config my wii because don`t understand nothing of japanese please helpme with the 3.1j version and don`t forget i love you
Hey. Look at my comment on your About Section. I need you for an important fanfiction project. Just take this as a contribution to the gaming society? Writing a good Game Fanfic that ties all the the storylines of your favourite video games together. Have you gone that before? It’ll be a great idea, no?
I want a simple linkexchange with your site, kindly inform me if you are intresting thanks you have such a nice blog site
u are really hardworking girl, blogging, entertaining, life-styling, everything-ing is sooOO hardwork! from ur blog, i think i make myself alive again. haha, quite a stupidity thinked of mine, but its true to keep young and make fun of life ~ one of slogan for my life-style is “no worries be happy”.. hope it can reach to u too.
chekyo
eat, sleep, play squash!
Hey, Sheylara, I’m here to inform you that my blog’s URL has changed to http://blog.gtahq.net and I hope you amend accordingly in the Blogroll, thanks.
Another place I haven’t commented yet :)
You are very pretty =)
I like you!
seems most posters are weirdo perverts here..
so i guess i fit in! xD
would you do nude in movies if asked to ?
directorwong, how can i put this in a nice way … you are a perverted person that needs to grow up
(wow i amaze myself sometimes with the poetry that i write down!)
LJ aka Luke, its sad to say perhaps you might be the one who needs to do so, for you are such a stuck up.
i certainly hope you do realize theres a difference between your daily random porn and x-rated movies.
for a start, you cant even treat a common query like this as a professional statement. ( be it who i am )
all you need is a roll of cloth to wrap yourself up air-tight and a rectangular shaped box as a container.
Yea…Riiiiiight… If anyone understood that last part please notify me.
(still need to grow up)
I’d say that it’s a moot point. Nude doesn’t equal porn, but it’s a decision that QY will take on her own…

Hi there. Just want to double confirm with u.
So are u one of the models at Funan IT Mall during the launch of Ninja Gaiden 2 official game?
Coz, I was there and I saw u. But was not sure where I had seen u before. Now I have stumble ur website. Now I know. haha..
Cherrios.. (Wish most female ninjas as cute as u. ;-)
be careful sheylara…this one sound like another one of those demented PUA’s (remember your good friend Solomon Yeow)
Yes I was one of the female ninjas at the launch.
Luke: Haha… you might be right… or not. But generally, as long as people are nice and not rude, I’m alright with them. :P
I am thinking of making short films…
That’s a great thought. All the best! ;)
Actually my neighbor is a film maker so I can learn some stuffs from him (possibly I will be an intern :P )
Maybe one day I will be a successful indie film maker, applying some of the psychology stuffs I learned to terrify the audience (I wanna see them shit in pants)
You like to play roles in psycho horror films?
That’s nice. Yup, I love psycho horror films (and books) so would definitely like to act in them!

hi sheylara, i came across your blog while surfing for articles relevant to Money No Enough. My cousin’s a film director and his film will be shown at the Arts House this wkend. I think you’re really photogenic and would love to watch you onscreen. Would you mind if I were to pass your contact to him? I think he’s currently auditioning actresses for a film/movie. I’ll have to check with him on that. do get back to me via email and I’ll forward it to him. have a cheery sunshine day ahead! =)

do you like the legend of zelda games. my fav is a link to the past. i have beaten it 15 times and do not die.
Wow, that’s very impressive. I’ve tried Legend of Zelda on Wii and DS. They’re nice! But I didn’t play for too long. I don’t usually have time to complete games because I have to keep playing new games when they come out.
oh yeah, i hear ya. i usually don’t finish games because i get new ones. i guess i just have an attachment to that game.
hello.. Sheylara.. what a wonderful blog!!!.. I think i should drop by more often from now on (^^)V
take care, JesooSSi..
hi help me talk to ERIC LEE SANDRIN? please
Please, its a friend I want to talk with the urgent ERIC LEE SANDRIN? I, you can talk to him my message?
Please I need your help.
Sheylara,
I am a Brasilian.
I would like to get a more complete manual of Wii translated from Japanese to english, how can i get it?
thanks
Sorry, but there isn’t any that I know of!
If we send you some screens in Japanese, could you please translate them for us?
We’ve used your manual to access Internet via Wii. However, some mistakes are happening such as mistake 61222.
How could we go to the next step without going through these mistakes?
Please help us.
Thank you very much in advance.
I’m sorry but I don’t actually read Japanese, so I won’t be able to help you there!
[...] book a grand masterpiece. That is why I am improving my writing skill. Well, if a gamer girl like Sheylara can be a pro- writer, I have no excuse not to excel in [...]

PREXURE
Hehe. Thanks for the Chinese greeting. That’s very cute! ;)
I know you are really obsessed with PINK. You got to check out the LG icecream! Well, even if you already had an iphone…
Ok, no link provided here so that you know this is not a one-of-those check-me-out scam message.
Hey Shey:
Read your starblog today, and I have to say it really made me rethink my stance as a person. It is about forgiving those that hurt you deeply, and still learning to trust them again.
I think the hurt is deepest from friends whom you trust the most and had the most respect of. I know people will make stupid mistakes at times (as I do a lot of times). But I find it more difficult when those people do not seem to realize that they were wrong and continue to make that same mistake.
But reading your blog post made me see it again in a different perspective… one of hope, and not of despair… I can choose to not hold it against those folks even though they continue in their folly… it is ultimately a choice thing, and also what I want my today and tomorrow to be like… definitely one filled with contentment and joy, and not of resentment…
Thanks, Shey.
Best regards,
Anthony (greetings from Vancouver, BC)
Hey Anthony, it’s very nice of you to share your thoughts. I know how bad it feels to be betrayed by a loved one but I guess after some time, you just remember the good times and forgive the bad times. Or maybe that’s just me. :P It’s not really wise, setting oneself up for disappointment and betrayal again, but then I think it makes one a happier person.
All the best in your life! Cheers. :)
Hey Shey:
Regarding setting oneself up for disappointment in relationships/friendships, I think that is indeed part of life. Some people have more grace in them, and thus forgiving again and again is not so hard. For myself, I am learning to be more like that, though personality wise, I tend to be more clear cut, which I have been told is not that a great thing. Giving grace when it is asked for is easy, giving grace when it was not appreciated (or shown arrogance in return is really hard).
Feeling “justified” all the time sounds good, but as I have learned or continue to learn, it does not always equate to contentment and joy in life. In fact, contrary to the natural human urge for justification, being ready to always “forgive” and not hold it against others (regardless of whether apologies are extended or not), is going to work out for the better in terms of stress-free joyful life. But it is surely not easy to do… that is what I find anyway…
Wow, a gamer… why the Xbox360? The HD DVD is already out of the game now, with blu-ray being the sole winner of the format war. I have the PS3 and I can watch blu-ray movies at the same time as well. I think the Blu-ray graphics is a little better and mor vibrant than the XBOX360.
It’s frigid cold here in Vancouver now… -5C at night…
Anthony
you look really sweet and i enjoy reading ur writings on stomp.. keep it up :)
hey sheylara, i left a comment for you on 15 Aug 2008 (scroll upwards) and upon receiving a notification today, I realised you’ve auditioned for my cousin’s movie. How did it go? I’d love to hear all about it from you! Do get back to me via email! =)
Hi mich, thanks for your comment. So Kelvin is your cousin? Coolness! Please tell him for me that I need to be in his movie! Haha. ;)
Anyway, I’ve already said everything there is to say about the auditions in my two blog posts. How it went I don’t know. You have to ask your cousin about that, lol! ;)
