It's coming!

Long Hiatus

2009-03-24T15:26:00.003+08:00

A long hiatus from blogsphere.

I'm sorry guys! I am finally updating my neglected blog. However, i'm gonna disappoint you guys by not uploading any pics in this post cause there're TONS of photos to be uploaded. Like freaking 13 albums?! So just pop by Esmond Halabula Lum on Facebook to view the photo albums alright? If you can't view my profile, you can just Friend Request me and i'll get to it soonest as humanly possible.

March has been a pretty busy busy month for me as i had outings back-to-back. The days for me to rot at home are like only on alternate days. And since the Batam Kayaking Expedition trip has been cancelled i have more breathing space, well at least for this week. Next month (April) on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd i'll be probably heading to Genting with MEI TING and PATRICIA for a getaway. Hope that the package offer isn't over yet :S

Ohh, i've FINALLY bought my organizer from Wood Would at The Cathay and sad to say i havent been doodling on it YET. TSK! WHY LIKE THAT! Should better get my royal ass off to start noting my schedules, especially when you're dealing with a person with so baddd memory. I still think i'll needa hire a Personal Assistant. Haha. No la, not that kua zhang. My friends will just be my free 'Personal Assistant(s)'. Whatever outings/appointments i have i'll just tell them.

Alrighty, so today i'll be having dinner with MEI QI alone since WEI SHAN and J couldn't make it. A DATE LEH! MEI QI YOU SHOULD FEEL HONOURED LOR. Haha. Pictures of our lovely date will be posted in the next entry.

TILL THEN!

SEE YA!

All Under 30 bucks

2009-02-16T23:05:00.007+08:00

ALL UNDER S$30

Nothing really much to update for today, just that i'm REALLY feeling the pinch from my pocket. With about 500+ bucks in my atm, now shockingly left with 29bucks. All gone in a matter of days and weeks. I'm beginning to backtrack WHERE exactly have i spent relentlessly on.

So there i was at Marina Square today with the company of JUN JIE. Sorry for dragging you out despite your exams are drawing near. Haha. Thanks mummy for giving me 69 bucks to buy a dark-colored jeans(abit like skinnies) from Domanchi for future use. Bought a friend's present too and i hope he/she really likes it. Also Muji-ed for 3 not fat & not thin markers. I swear to buy the clock from Molecule when i have my own house. Now too poor to even purchase it for my own room.

What's all about the under 30 bucks thingy you might ask. Topman 2 jerseys for 29 bucks and a polo tee from fashionlab for 28 bucks(after 50% off). And who says i only buy branded stuff. Fashionlab not that branded or not even branded lor. With the pathetic amount of moolahs i have, i REALLY have to consider twice before buying anything. During shopping, i ALMOST succummbed to the heavenly ambrosial Chocolate Amber from Starbucks which i really did ordered 2 slices one after another when i was at Vivocity's outlet with MEI TING the other time.

CURB MY

I MUST

Update Like FINALLY

PG - PHOTO GALORE

YESSS!!! I'M FINALLY UPDATING MY BLOG LIKE FINALLYYYY! Sorry guys, have been really busy the past weeks. With CNY, going out day after day. So how was Valentine's Day for you lovey-dovey birds out there? Romance, Love and Beginnings. Must have been touched by your sweetheart's surprises? Well, being the all-along-single-minded me didn't have plans on Saturday. But there was a friend who asked me out. The catch: the friend is a male. Knowing that it was Valentine's Day, i didn't dare to take the risk to go on the streets where known friends will OBVIOUSLY mistaken me "HEY ESMOND! Your date?!". Haha. Sorry, i don't wanna get unnecessary tongues wagging so i decline the kind invitation.

There is another case scenario that i couldn't fathom. Some people would just simply wanna go out with the other party just to be seen on VDay. Perhaps declaring that, YES I HAVE A DATE. Maybe for them it's too big of an ego to let go.

So here i am, updating my blog via Safari instead of the usual Internet Explorer that i would use. Cause recently, IE has been shutting down itself incessantly and i had enough. AND Safari hanged on me just now. PHEW, luckily technology or the developer created this button "Save Now". So now, photos and lots of photos will be up. Bear with me during the pictures walk. For earlier dates, i'll just post up some photos and a photo collage.

ALRIGHT! So how was the photo journey? Tiring? If you're not, I AM! LOL! Can you just imagine from 3.46PM to 9.47PM of uploading of pics and typing?! PHEW! Partly was because of Safari often hang on me(DAMN IT) and IE kinda keep giving me errors. But well, i am finally done! WHEEE!!!!

Lunar New Tear

2009-01-26T23:57:00.000+08:00

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!

Year of Ox has come and sure enough it's gonna be a challenging year ahead! HANG ON PEOPLE!

As usual, 1st day of new year also applies the same old itinerary. Nothing abnormal, lots of chatting and catching up AND GOODIES. Not forgetting red packets too! Had a 2nd round of reunion dinner at my cousin's place, steamboat. This year my family didn't have steamboat on the eve because, i don't know why too. LOL. Ask my mum.

It's sucha chore thinking of what to wear for today, then tomorrow, then the next day and so on, when you didn't even plan what/how to wear when you bought your clothes and also if you didn't 'stock up' enough worth CNY clothing. I see my some of my cousins wearing just tees and jeans. Actually, how do you define clothing worth for CNY? Up to personal views huh. For me, i think tees and jeans combi is kinda causal for this occasion. How about tees and berms? I'm definitely a victim of that. Haha. Wait, is that even MORE causal? Ok, whatever esmond... For chu yi i'll just put in more effort, other days i think i'll just "AHH heck!"

Alrighty! So PATRICIA, MEI TING and ME had lunch at Crystal Jade last WEDNESDAY and let the photos walk you through.

Woah... People angry but then still uhm-chioing.

As usual...

Their

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

2009-01-23T23:59:00.004+08:00

SORRY!

Yup, sorry guys for leaving the blogsphere for quite some time. Today officially marks the end of my year 2 semester 2 school term, and i'm on LONG HOLIDAYS now! HURRAY! Watched Ghost Whisperer on television and i heard a great song near the ending. Googled and found out the song. Enjoy! In the meanwhile, i'll be back for more updates and pictures of course!

Ghost Whisperer: The Man Who Can't Be Moved

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand

saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand

I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man

I know it makes no sense but what else can I do

How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

Cause If one day you wake up and find your missing me

and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet

And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "son you can't stay here"

I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for If it's a day, a month, a year"

Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows

If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

Cause If one day you wake up and find your missing me

and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be

Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet

And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,

I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl

There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe i'll get famous as the man who can't be moved

Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news

And you'll come running to the corner

cause you'll know it's just for you

Im the man who can't be moved

Chorus 2x

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

CLUBBING SWITCH: OFF

For the record, this is the first time i rejected going clubbing. Has been feeling a tad under the weather. I think you don't wish to see me twirling and swirling around in St James despite the great tracks being spinned off. Anyway i believe there're more great parties to come, so now i shall just take the time off to recuperate before school reopens on MONDAY which spells DREAD.

Have been wanting to go to Australia badly. Previously we usually had of our holidays in Australia and i would like "Huh... Australia again..." to my parents. But this time round it's different because now i know what i want to buy and most of all, i appreciate things better now.

For a different experience, Turkey is not a bad place to visit either. You just have to keep in mind that this is a Muslim country, so your every actions must be thought twice before acting out else get ready to be looked upon in negative eyes. Not forgetting that Greece and Egypt are still the top priority countries i would want to visit. Where rich constructions meet rich cultures.

SUPPER MAKES ME FAT!

But last night we carried on nonetheless. Haha. In the end, only me and MEI TING were the ones. YANG can't cause he has work the next day and mum don't allow, BEI's side raining heavily and was too late to come out so mum didn't allow. In this scenario, mum really plays a big role in decision-making. Or rather, it applies to every other occasion. So Geylang was the place we went for supper, of course where else. LITERALLY FILLED WITH AH NEHS AND CHINA PEOPLE! Buay tahan. Crowd aside, food was tentalising! From Rochor Beancurd (seems like EVERYONE is going there) to dim sum. The routine is somewhat the same for everyone else i think. Actually we wanted to find a place to sit down, order/buy some fruits but in the end we didn't. I don't eat durians and stop telling me they don't stink, and MEI TING can't possibly finish a whole durian to herself when she's that bloated already. Ohh yea, we saw Chen Jian Ping(97.2FM DJ). Supper's done, and i sent MEI TING to her aunt's place.

When i got home, i saw the Braun Buffel wallet on the coffee table! OHH YEAH BABY! After 20% off, it costs around 96 bucks. Of course i paid for it myself. I didn't want my parents to give that as this year's birthday present to me. I will not let the both of you off that easily lor. Trying to buy me with wallet... MIAN LE!

So today i woke up EARLY to help pack goodie bags for my school's open house. Remember to come and visit! I still can't bear to see my face on my diploma's brochure. OMG OMG OMG! Please don't show my picture, damn cui can! There were a few other student models for my diploma too. Luckily i didn't sign up to help out for Open House, or else people would "ehh? is that you? YOU RIGHT?!" when they come to my diploma booth. Then i will bor wei gong.

Packing the goodie bags was tiring, when quite a number of people or 'helpers' were slacking while the rest were slogging our guts out. Eat shit la! More like HOGGING the place than HELPING. I koped a RP lanyard home anyways. Ssshhh! LOL. Actually i also don't know what i wanna do with the lanyard cause i don't use lanyards. I koped for the fun of it.

SUPPER!

I didn't know this is called, Butterfly.

I had a westernized way of 'cutting' it
and MT was amazed.

TAO HUAY JUI

TAO HUAY

Wanna get beautiful eye bags like hers?
Sleep at 5 or 6+ in the morning.

My beetle-eyed shades.

MT told me that Butterfly was supposed to

be eaten this way.

and i thought it was kinda gross...

I just knew that Chinese New Year falls on January this year

busy packing already...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Once again it's the start of a new year, but everything seems to be in a continual. Whatever it is, life still carries on. So what's your new year resolution?

As i've promised, these are the KL pics. Let the photos walk you through...

The future IR

OMG! SUPERB ARCHITECTURE!

NO. 1 PORT!

Reached KL at around 1+pm.

HOW HAS YOUR

NEW YEAR DAY BEEN?

Pre New Year

2008-12-30T23:45:00.005+08:00

I'M BACK!

Bought quite an amount of stuff under a RM500 budget. THANKS DAD! And the amazing thing was, there was a REMAINING of at least RM40! This goes to show that i didn't 'maximize' the resources given. LOL. Crap huh. Alright, will be back with lots more of pictures from KL.

Here's to let you have a little peek-a-boo to what i've bought.

The new year is here once again. I've yet to come up with my new year resolutions. Have you? What's yours?

How are you going to spend celebrating the new year?

Age

2008-12-26T23:59:00.002+08:00

SHE: "How old are you?"
ME: "I'm 18."
SHE: "Oooo... Young and dangerous..."

So i guess 18 is the prime age where we're prone to doing 'dangerous' stuff? Haha. It's also up to your imagination and how you would define dangerous. Work was fine today, just that initially it was absolutely shit. Totally lack of manpower and the blur (first day ma) me didn't know what to do. Macham throw me to die there. What i could do was just to clear plates and pour and refill their ice water. Orders?

THEM: "2 plates of chicken rice please." (people high class coffee shop guests can...)
ME: *rushing to write down the orders on my palm.

Reason for doing so? Cause i didn't have order chit with me and the experienced staff are like gone. Seriously! Nowhere to be found. Luckily when there're more guests, the lao jiaos began to appear like suddenly. And the different stations/pantries SMELT LIKE SHIT! STINKS TO THE CORE! Luckily today is my last day, phew... There's a colleague who asked whether i am 16 years old. I'm like shocked la! I know i look young and lots of people say that i look around that age. (think people are starting to puke already.) And there's also a colleague who said that i looked Malaysian. Doubly shocked. Luckily you didn't say C____, else you will serve people with a blue-blacked eye.

Now preparing my clothing and packing my stuff for trip to KL tml, coach-ing there. So have to wake up at 5am. 5AM FOR GOODNESS SAKE! I'll be back by MONDAY night.

DON'T MISS ME! ;p

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-25T23:59:00.000+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Work was rather more relaxing today, with only 30+ orders to be taken. This day was also one of my most embarrassing day ever. VANESSA (my manager) asked me to bring a basket packed of christmas goodies and walk down Orchard Road to sell, IN MY UNIFORM which was like a red checked vest with black pants and long sleeve and formal shoes. The worst thing was that i was alone with no one else to accompany me, to share to embarrassment. Haha. I was so afraid to see someone i know. Everyone looked at my direction but none wanted to buy. NONE! I walked from the lobby to DFS, then to Wheelock and then to Tanglin Mall. However there were a few who came up to me to enquire about the price, which was rather steep. 5 bucks for a cinamnon cookie or a gingerbread man. Of course there were more goodies beside that but that was the cheapest. Well, it's from Orchard Hotel afterall.

After work, i took a 1kg Chocolate Hazelnut Logcake back home. Think no one went to pick it up or what that's why i could take it back. Haha. It tasted not bad, but the inner part was damn creamy. EERKS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

X'mas gift from VANESSA. Thanks!

Say hello teddy!

Some late pictures...

STOP

MOVING

MEI TING!
Haha

HAVE A BLESSED

MERRY CHRISTMAS

EVERYONE!

Christmas Eve

2008-12-24T23:59:00.005+08:00

CHRISTMAS EVE

Nothing much actually, really. Seems like this year Christmas for me it's going to be a quiet one. No major plans going on, no plans actually. Waiting for people to jio me. Haha. DATE ME PEOPLE! I LOVE DATES! (now my mum is sleeping on the couch beside me, holding her handphone smsing her friends with head swaying to the left. Think my sleeping-in-bus saga problem is also by hereditary.) Ok, i am being baddd. LOL.

Back on track, yes i'm working today too and it was slightly better than yesterday. Cause i kinda gotten the momentum already and today we have 120+ orders. Logcakes, Turkey, Honey Baked Ham and what not... Nearing the night, there was a group of Catholics draped in green and red clothing and started singing Christmas carols. Not illegal of course. And then there were a few little girls in white angelic uniform with a blue neon light above their head. HOW COOL IS THAT?! One of them entered our Goodies House and gave me sweet. Awww, so sweet. Haha. The Santa Claus, who was present too of course, was actually one of the hotel staff as told by my colleague. He's actually the pianist.

Christmas eve isn't that bad afterall with the atmosphere created in the hotel lobby!

Last SUNDAY went out with WEI SHAN and YVONNE for a retail therapy. Actually it was more of a NUM therapy. Haha. In the end, what i wanted was available so i gotten myself a Christmas edition tee and WEI SHAN gotten herself a "I LOVE SAILORS" tee. Quite cool!

Had dinner at NYDC

Welcome to the digital world of YVONNE,

she was literally fiddling with her phone the whole night.

DON'T THINK I DIDN'T NOTICE HUH!

We acted DEVILS to persuade WEI SHAN to buy cake.

You're never gonna escape my mouth.

First Day at Work

2008-12-23T23:59:00.001+08:00

FIRST DAY AT WORK

What i can say is that i'm totally blur of what i'm supposed to do today. I only knew how to handle customers face-face and how to send stuff to destination A to B to C and etc. But handling phone calls for logcake & other christmas goodies orders was horrendous. Afterall it's my first day at work. When i quit on this FRIDAY i swear that i'll never look back at the hotel, Orchard Hotel. THE HOTEL IT'S LIKE SO HORRIBLE + TERRIBLE CAN!!! Far worse than Pan Pacific Hotel which i previously worked in.

Sent delivery with the driver today to a customer staying in Upper Changi area who ordered 20 logcakes. Madness right? But then alright la, it's Christmas! Along the way to and fro from the hotel, he spoke alot of reasons about life issues and stuff. I just "orh, hmmm, yea, true true" and etc. Not being mean to him or what, it's just that i'm abit tired bah. But i did say my part as well to reply what he has said. His son studying law in London and daughter earning quite a bit. Don't play play lor... But he's quite nice, took me to an eatery which is quite ulu(near Joo Chiat) for a very nice meal of Wan Ton Mee, in my black long sleeve shirt and pants and formal shoes. Quite weird to be in sucha place huh... It's like wearing singlet to a 5 stars restaurant. When i was back at the hotel, starting it was quite boring but afterwards it was busy like hell.

Ok enough of work stuff, and it's PARTY issues! Last FRIDAY went Zouk/Phuture with usual clubbing people with additional friends whom are foreign to me but got to know them better now. Saw 2 of my primary school friends, YING MAE and XUAN HAO, and 2 celebrities, LEE TENG and PAUL TWOHILL. The latter was like dancing beside us only. Haha. Someone said BEN YEO was there too but i didn't see him. Well... Let the pictures talk!

It's my first time at Zouk, really. Don't laugh!

JESSY looking great as usual!

Forgot his name. Haha, pai seh.

6 MALES

and then we started playing cai quan

5! 25! ALL! HUAT AH!

Aiya, heck la! Just luan luan lai...

Always ready for the camera huh CELINE.

JEFF LOST! Not once...

And everyone started taking photos with KAI MING (192cm)

Of course including the vertically inclined me...

AIYO! 1 head shorter! LOL! Me also la...

OMG! SCANDELOUS!

After GRAVEYARD & LONG ISLAND TEA, she was a goner...

*him showing pout face

We left at 4am which was when Phuture closes too, and everyone cabbed back except me. Aiya, bo liue already ma, besides all stay in the North can... So i waited for first bus service no. 5. I had to walk quite a distance to find the correct bus stop and it was situated beside a ulu Boy's Brigade site. Got bored, and i guessed you would know what i would do. Haha!

Waited for 1hr+ for first service and no. 5 was REALLY PUNCTUAL! 0543hr is the first service and it really came on the dot.

when i got home

6++am

GOOD MORNING READERS!

Ohh yea, i've decided to FINALLY clear up my Facebook account. Have been left dusty for like at least 6 months without even logging in at all? So these are the consequences...

HAA-LEH-YU-YA!

OK GUYS, I'M NOT GONE YET

Just have been feeling lazy over the past few days, or even perhaps weeks, to update and OH GOSH i have an ASTRONOMICAL amount of photos to post! Kayaking pics, YVONNE's birthday, JERALDINE's birthday and PLAY pics. And to think that tomorrow i'm hanging out with my secondary school friends for dinner, which means MORE PHOTOS! Ok, that's the reason why i'm lazy to update. With lots of pics, my blog will lag like shit.

IT'S TIME TO CHANGE A NEW BLOGSKIN!

Went for a haircut at The Cathay today and my dear adorable hair stylist, SHI MIN spent 2 hours on my hair. No, you didn't see it wrongly. She's kinda of a perfectionist and wouldn't put down the sissors until she's satisfied with her 'masterpiece'. It took so long, partly due to the fact of the poor construction of my hair. The sides of my hair are very shallow + my hair is very fine and lastly the growth of the hair isn't that structured. That's why. She has definitely done a great job, and i have no complains too :)

Till then i'll see you people again. Guess the frequency will increase since i'm on 3 weeks of holidays from now, ohh wait i still have work to fret.

Shuddup ESMOND, don't give anymore excuses.

CHRISTMAS AT HOME - SINGAPORE?

Seems like it has already been confirmed. Bangkok trip with friends (JEFF, JERA, VIVIAN, WEI SHAN) have been cancelled due to unforseen circumstances and with the mess at the airport now, it's not even possible to fly to Bangkok. And no, we're not there to join in the protest but to spend Christmas over there. It's the first time though. But looks like the trip's gonna postponed. GUSTI also asked me whether i wanna backpack to Indonesia for around 1 - 2 weeks. Felt like going, but given the tight 3 weeks of holi we have it's gonna be a rush trip. I would rather backpack without knowing when i'm heading home. As in the date of the return trip wouldn't be confimed, so that you can enjoy and see every corner of the country/state at your pace. Dad also didn't allow me to go to Indonesia cause he said it's quite dangerous, he also cited some racial issues which i think it's quite ridiculous. But well, it's for my own good. So the next long holi (10 weeks) i confirm + chop wanna go backpack/go overseas!

Random:

Recently their 'marriage' has been the talk of the town, so...

She: "Hi, my name is Jeraldine and i'm going to get married at a tender age of 19."
He: "So how many kids do we want?"
She: "Up to you lor." (her as-usual statement)
He: "How about a brood of 11?"
She: "Hmm... Really not..."
He: "Ok? Want la want la!"
She: "Don't want la, so many for what? Play football meh..." *turns head away

Haha, PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME OKAY? It's just for fun. Thanks to V for these pictures :)

Ohh yea, i received this in my email. BRITNEY SPEARS ADDED ME ON IMEEM? Haha, i think it's some person calling him/herself that name la then don't know how i got the invitation. Did you all get it too?

Springboard Diving

2008-11-24T11:43:00.002+08:00

I HAVE MADE A LIFE-LONG DECISION...

Please do not laugh. I wanna compete in world-wide competition such as Olympics and do my country proud.

Yes, it's Springboard Synchronized Diving. Had this motivation since a few years/months ago. But wondering if Singapore is offering any courses/lessons on this? Have been google-ing for quite some time now and it seems to be fruitile. And since i don't see any Singaporean springboard divers competing in such large-scale events(i think so?), i shall be the first one. I know you're laughing out loud by now. But who knows i might be in Team Singapore Men's Springboard Synchronized Diving right? So now first i have to find the course/lesson and train up.

Stop laughing...

Food for Thought!

Came across the name of this restaurant while reading the newspaper, so i decided to visit their website for a little peek-a-boo. Indeed, it was unqiue. Their actions, not the website i'm refering to. How many restaurants out there that donate to the beneficiaries? It's a restaurant setup by School Of Thought, to give something back to the community and part of Food for Thought's profits will go into the social causes that they support. Though tap water is served free, but you also have the option to donate so other people may have free water someday too. It's really for a good cause. What's more their prices for the palette of food they offer are also quite reasonable. Head on to their website for more information, http://www.foodforthought.com.sg/

And so, YVONNE said i was pretty bored(quite true also la) that i took pictures of switches again. This time round, it's in colors.

If you were thinking that i've used the "Tint" effect in any photography software or use any colored plastic films that're for Holgas & cameras then you are wrong, absolutely wrong. Instead, i experimented using typical-can-be-found-anywhere objects. Such as cover lids and paper, and of course they're colored. The photo above is not in any case digitally edited, just that it's being enhanced to bring out the 'darkness'/contrast and that's all. The one that you see below is of course digitally edited.

IT'S TERRIBLE!

I'm down with illnesses. Headache + Sore Throat + Excessive Runny Nose. Therefore didn't attend school on Friday and today's training. Fortunately i'm feeling better now (but head still feels abit cramped up), with the help of 3 medications and lozenges to suck. I gotten a little feverish on Friday cause i felt my body getting alittle higher than the normal temperature. Yea, i'm hot i know. Lol!

Saw my brother watching this Youtube video and i thought it was rather interesting. Haha. Here it is...

"Star Wars" - an a cappella tribute to John Williams

CONGRATS to those who've finished their A Levels! AND JONATHAN TAN KHEE ANN, it's not that i wanna curse you but it's you KARMA me first lor.

On the 14th of November (FRIDAY), it was JUSTINA's performance at TRCC. So we came down to support her and also to hear & see how good is she. Only going to put some pictures in, cause there're really too many... (Taken with JAZREEL's camera)

This is not the worse, trust me...

Some competition winners.

Very colorful.

Some malay competition winner.

The best item ever!

The next day, GUAN and I went dinner at Simpang Bedok. Well, nothing much has changed. Just that i was really really disgustingly mortified by how the service crew of the 'restaurant' would treat/retain you back to settle your meal at their place. It was horrible + their food are super duper expensive la! So we went to the neighbouring place to settle our dinner. SO MUCH BETTER PLEASE!

Last Wednesday (19th November 2008) went to celebrate JEFFERY's 20th Birthday. Sadly, i missed the dim sum buffet. Cause i reached Novena at 4.45pm and last order was like 4.30pm. And i rushed down from school like mad and it was raining tadpoles and goldfish la! What's more, i'm wearing slippers and white shorts. -_-". Okay, so pictures will be uploaded once JEFF sent me the pics.

Gotta go and take medication! Till then!

Worst Sleeping Patterns

2008-11-13T23:59:00.002+08:00

OMG!

I think i should seriously stop sleeping in buses during long journeys. I bet videos of me would end up in "World's Funniest Moments (Public Transport)". Only commuters and friends who were with the same bus ride with me would know what am i talking about. If you've guessed it right, YES IT'S MY SLEEPING PATTERNS. It's either i move and lean my whole body weight on the person beside me, suddenly jerk and hit, swayed like nobody's business, and bowing forward 90 degrees. ALL THESE ARE DONE SUBCONSCIOUSLY! Maybe i might even come up with new patterns unknowingly. Not on purpose, not my fault ok... Next time i better find a friend to go home with so that at least they can stop me in time before i embarrass myself AGAIN. JAZREEL AND MAVIS WHEN YOU GOING HOME TELL ME HORRR!

Okay so on TUESDAY when i got home, i was pretty bored so i took pictures of my antibiotics cause i thought the pill was rather gorgeous. LOL! So here are the chosen few to be placed up.

It's Time

You Know You're Not Alone...

Pill

Medication

Alright! Gotta tuck in now and wish me all the best for my bus ride tml! Hope i STOP doing anything stupid.

Suay...

2008-11-11T23:23:00.002+08:00

WA LAU EH!

SO DAMN SUAY AND PAI SEH TODAY! This isn't the first time already...

As usual sat in bus 168 froom Woodlands and soon went to LALA Land. Then this middle age (i think) sat beside me for the whole journey till Tampines and i think my head kept on 'swaying' to her side when i was asleep, and mind you i am sitting on the inner side and i still don't know why it still happens. I assure you i not high on drugs hor. Then at one point of time, i think she couldn't take it anymore, so she use her 一指攻 and push the side of my head to the other side and naturally i woke up FEELING SO EMBARRASSED! I can literally feel my whole face turning RED! DAMN PAI SEH LA CAN! After that, i moved further in (towards the window) and pretended to go back to sleep. Don't know why ALWAYS I UPPER DECK THEN KANNA THIS KINDA SHIT WHEN I SLEEP! In lower deck won't kanna one lor. NEH NEH LA.

And then my Friendster kanna virus. Sighh... don't mention about it. DOUBLE SUAY-NESS! PEOPLE PLEASE DON'T OPEN THE MESSAGE/LINK THAT IS IN MY FRIENDSTER BULLETIN/MESSAGE HOR!

Today in school saw alot of friends during 1st breakout session. Even Shana said "Woah Esmond you have alot of friends huh." Haha suddenly felt so popular but then it's only today la. No big deal... But then it isn't good to be popular too, because sometimes people can recognise you in unglam moments (refering to the bus incident).

Okay, overdue pics...

Okay, so much for the visual diarrhoea. MONDAY actually went to National Skin Centre for consultation and medication for my face problem and spent a total of 180+ bucks! Whoa, it really pays a price to be beautiful. I've even heard of friends' bills that are astronomical. After that went to cut hair at The Cathay and was so grateful that JUN JIE accompanied me the whole day. Haha. THANKS DUDE! Collecting laptop from Sony at Wisma Atria was next. The service centre closes at 9pm and i reached there like 8.50pm, luckily the female service officer who attended to me the previous time was there so she called me over. PHEW!

Damn, woke up late today.

Supposed to go gyming today in early noon but was kinda rush already when i woke up and since i didn't want my mum's effort to go waste for having the maggie mee soup prepared, i decided to stay home and have my lunch. Never mind, shall workout at home instead.

While i was cooking maggie mee(for lunch), i flipped through Men's Health and found some surprising discoveries(as usual it would).

The real reason why your stomach rumbles.

THIS IS ONE HOT SEXY BABE!

Would you wear this on the streets? Pretty cool shit.

Okay, last TUESDAY i went to suntan at Sentosa but sadly the sun wasn't strong enough. When i came home, my mum didn't ask me the usually-after-i-came-back-from-suntanning question "Why you suntan until so red come back?!" Immediately, i knew i just made a wasted trip.

Random feet shots. LOL

Besides iPod, this is also one of the best company.

Long ride back.

Gotta workout now and after that meeting JAZREEL, JUSTINA and SI JIE for dinner at Temasek Poly and play board games at Minds Cafe (Bugis).

WOOHOO!!! SAY HELLO TO MR HOLIDAY!

AND AROUND 24HOURS TIME MY FRIENDS AND I WILL BE BOOGIE-ING OUR WAY!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME! Whenever club music is being played, my body/hands/legs will begin to respond and i really can't wait to enter clubs again! THE VIBE THAT CLUBBING MUSIC GIVES ME! AWESOMENESS!!!

Okay, this coming 1 week of pathetic holiday i will be quite packed with plans going on. Well it's a good thing cause i can keep myself occupied. But then still need to give myself some quiet time alone. That's when i can really keep myself all peaceful in the mind.

Today has been great. Went to IKEA with JERALDINE, VIVIAN, IRENE and her friend 'CAT', YVONNE and JEFFERY. Just that YVONNE came alittle bit later cause she overslept, as usual. Pictures are with JEFF and so it might take quite a while to get them to my hands. Watch out for our crazy moments at IKEA!

Random pictures:

That day RP had this Temperature declaration day whereby we need to buy thermometers but in the end it wasn't being used. Neh neh... waste my 2 bucks only. At South Agora it looked like passengers clearing customs and entering departure hall.

The situation.

Okay, i looked like some tourist who hasn't seen such situation before...

Missing school, literally

2008-10-23T22:58:00.003+08:00

DARN!

I've been missing school the past 2 days consecutively. Yesterday and Today. And for a certain weird reason i miss school, like literally. The KUKU times with my friends and lunch hour bitching and munching! Talking about food, i realise that whenever i have lunch at E1 canteen i always order the same food item, like 95% of the time? 95% - Handmade Noodle. 5% - Erm, what else do i eat besides that? Breakfast has always been the same. S$1 三角裤 which means brief(yes, undies) in direct translation. But what i/we meant is the sandwich which is triangular in shape thus given the name, and it's popularize by Aunty Lindy and Bei 小姐. But then now i'm beginning to switch the sandwich to fruits, fruit platter i mean. It's a healthier choice of course! OH YES, i'm going to school tml! I must force myself to go, regardless of my overflow(if i have one in the first place) or whatever shit.

Today when i woke up early in the morning preparing to go to school, stomache decided to pay a visit. It was so terrible that i almost couldn't stand up straight! Told mum and asker her for the 'little kid' medication oil. Don't belittle it cause it still works. Supposed to watch movies that're in my hard drive but ended up playing MSN games instead. It can be quite addicitve, provided you play the right ones. ONE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT! I've done my PP Poster and my advisor had given me the green light to print it out! WOOHOO!!! Burden completely cleared! But then still have to prepare for my PP presentation on the 29th. Wish me luck ;)

Yesterday stayed home the whole day(suppose to go to school) just to finish the damn PP poster. So many things to put inside and i had to assure myself that i ain't gonna do a hap-hazzard(whatever it's spelled) one. It's a whopping 13MB after i have finished doing it, and i can say i'm quite pleased with the result. Hope when it's printed out it would look totally drop dead gorgeous. The reason why i say that? Cause i heard RP printers sucked like hell. I think almost all schools' printers do la huh? Can't RP invest more on printers (quality) and not on more security cameras (quantity) that you can find like every 10 steps.

Okay, now shall post the overdue pictures from last Friday.

Slacking in school, and mini gathering with ex-secondary school teacher Miss Koh.

Gossip Girls

Doing my work, never in peace.

Wonders Of Chilli
(Names: Chili, chilli or chile, pepper, capsicum , paprika or 辣椒)

A Slimming Agent and Beauty Agent

main ingredient in chili, is called capsaicin.
help burning out fatty cells.
as it works, it goes deep into the fatness and improves circulations by increasing metabolism during the process of burning.
toxins and wastes are eliminated at the same time thus improving the firmness and smoothness of the skin.
low in fat, calories low in sodium; and has zero cholesterol.

Chili as a painkiller

Contains pain-alleviating compounds called salicylates (found in natural aspirin) which act only on pain receptors, and not on normal cells.
relieve pains due to shingles as well as other skin ailments.
helps to relieve cluster headaches, migraine and sinus the pain.
used for muscle or joint pain like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, backache, strains, sprains, and frostbite.
capsaicin stimulates blood flow to the affected area, reduces inflammation and associated discomfort.

A Health Food In Lowering Blood Cholesterol

Dilates the blood vessels, cleanse the mucus lining and lower the blood cholesterol.
intake of capsaicin, the LDL or the bad cholesterol actually resisted oxidation for a longer period.
helps relieve the heart of a heavy work task, thereby creating a stronger and healthier heart.
reduces the risks of heart attacks and strokes.

A Natural Antibiotic

Due to its acidic nature, pungent, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, chili is also known to exhibit immunization abilities.
Researches have shown that chili kills more than 75 % of the thirty harmful bacteria present in food under studies.
helps to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel symptoms.
Recent researches have proven that red chilies does not cause stomach ulcers, as has been erroneously believed by many.
On the contrary, intake of chilies can actually prevent or heal them!
Research shows that countries with high consumption of chilies have three times less reports of stomach ulcers.

How does capsaicin work against cancer ?

Chili, pepper or capsicum also contains minerals like folate, molybdenum, manganese, potassium, thiamin, and copper.
low in sodium which causes the thickening of blood.
Capsaicin is a fantastic health stimulant.
Capsaicin is a potent anticancer agent, induces apoptosis or programmed cell death in cancer cells and produces no significant damage to normal pancreatic cells, indicating its potential use as a novel chemotherapeutic agent for pancreatic cancer.
Capsaicin had a profound anti-proliferative effect on human prostate cancer cells in culture.
also dramatically slowed the development of prostate tumors formed by those human cell lines grown in mouse models.

How does chili help in the prevention and slowing down of cancer cell formation?

A very rich source of antioxidants.
richly endowed with vitamins A, E and C necessary for general health.
contains seven times more vitamin C than orange.
good source of most B vitamins and vitamin B6 in particular.
antioxidants like C and E protect the body against these destructive effects of free radicals which attack normal cells in the body in order to obtain these electrons as they're 'hungry for electrons'.
The deprived cells, now being ripped of their own electrons, in turn attack other normal cells. This may ultimately lead to a chain reaction, resulting in the cascading formation of abnormally reactive cells, or cancerous cells.

Okay, i think now i'm rather convinced to include chilli to my meals.

Stay tuned for the next "Food Health Facts 101"!

Today's class was pretty okay, just that my french teacher can be quite draggy. Ok not quite, but VERY. Oh for your info, he doesn't teach us french but he's our faci for Consumer Psychology. And i got a grade C for his previous lesson, NEH NEH. But never mind, cause i think i did better yesterday so he BETTER give me a more decent grade. Or else, i will really teach him de 'FRENCH LANGUAGE'. Once i got in class (as usual i was late) there were lots of cups of COLA and PEPSI. What's the occasion? It's related to our problem for that day, which is "The Cola Challenge". Cool right? Haha. But felt bloated after drinking lots of them cause we had to differentiate which cup has Coke, Coke Lite, Pepsi, Pepsi Lite. BURRRPPPP!

DRUNK!

Lessons were supposed to end at 4.00pm for Year 2s and 3s but he ALWAYS end class at around 4.30pm, see how draggy he is. And i'm the only pathetic few among my friends to attend lessons on WED, cause i decided to take my FCM (Freely Chosen Module) this year and not next so that i can have more 'free' days next year. WOOHOO! This is what i call smart thinking. LOL!

After lesson straight away chiong to Raffles for gyming and it was pretty fine, just that now my chest feels abit sore. But it's okay, cause i get to ogle at HOT PEOPLE! There were exotic arab females, and of course male ang mohs! Okay, i know i sound very gay by saying that but then it's the fact la. Female ang mohs were sparse over there. People who know me knows that i like foreign flavours, just that i don't know whether in the future i would marry someone who's non-chinese. Then of course you have the parents to deal, THE ULTIMATE STAGE.

Chinese guys over there vary in sizes, literally. Ones that are very muscular, scrawny, saggy, tipping off the scale, small-sized (smaller than me), and of course not forgetting the unproportional. There's this guy who has great upper body (wearing singlet) but his lower body is really cui. As in, his legs/calves are not meatyand looks small. So overall he looks super unproportional. I understand that most guys workout/focus mostly on the upper body but you can't neglect the lower body as well. Later your legs cannot support your weight then you know ah. The girls over there were not that bad either, even some were wearing skimpy workout outfit. *drools

OHH YEA! Apple came out with a new laptop and it's TOTALLY ORGASMIC, and it's also greener! What i meant greener is that, the MacBook is designed with features that reduce its environmental impact. Would LOVE the person to BITS AND PIECES if i were to have one of this. Mummy can i buy?

13.3-inch 2.4GHz MacBook

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed.

250GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard disk drive.
Optional 320GB 5400-rpm hard drive or 128GB solid-state drive.
8x slot-loading SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW).

Built-in full-size illuminated keyboard.

Price: S$ 2,588.00

The NEW MacBook

13 inch suits fine for me, but 15 inch would be BETTER!

Isn't that really COOL?! What a total beauty and sexy bitch! The only thing that i don't like about the MacBook is that there isn't black color for the cover, unlike the previous one. So when there're scratches (on the new MacBook) it will be so damn obvious then it'll be freaking fugly. For more details/information, please visit http://www.apple.com/sg/macbook/.

Last FRIDAY went out with MEI TING to Vivocity for shopping at Pull and Bear, and i spent 90 bucks! OHH MANN!!! Bought a tee and a polo. After that we went to River Island to shadeswhore AGAIN. Haha.

uhm chio-ing

Mei Ting, why do you have to open your mouth?

am going to wear this for RETRO PARTY!

Friends know that i'm not a chilli eater and recently JEFFERY, JERALDINE and VIVAN have been asking me to adapt and try to accept chilli. Partly because there're lots of great food i wouldn't be able to appreciate, Chilli Crab, Stingray (coated with chilli) and many more delicacies. JERALDINE just told me that eating chilli will improve one's body immune system (i'm low in that) and consists lots of vitamins. So i decided to google about it and find it out myself.

Since this post is quite lengthy already, i'm gonna post the health facts in the next post. Stay tuned!

Recovering

2008-10-12T14:13:00.004+08:00

HEY GUYS! Thanks for the concern that all of you have showered on me. Haha. And also, thank god that i'm recovering. Still remembered my mum brought me to a chinese master for him to anoint my affected area and 'chanting' to get rid of the 'snake'. ALSO, that's the first time i've showed my left butt cheek (yes that's where the affected area is, no kidding) to so many people; dad and mum and her friend and the master. When do you show your butt to so many people, besides in the locker/changing room or perhaps a wardrobe malfunction.

Go check up and you'll find out that Herpes Zostes/Shingles in chinese means, 生蛇. Which is there's a 'snake' at the affected area and if it fully encircles, one will die. Well, that's the old chinese saying. Luckily for mine, there isn't any encircling AT ALL. Coupled with the 'talismen' that the master gave (for me to rub at the affected area) and doctor's cream, the affected area is beginning to heal. Alright, all's well.

FRIDAY after school we (MEI TING, LARRY, and ME) went to Vivocity cause i asked them to accompany me to look for bags, haversack bags that can fit in my 15.4 inch laptop to be precise. Saw a Nike bag which rather fit the bill, but was thinking that probably i couldn't bring it for short trips cause i doubt it can fit alot of things in. The design and shape have the likes of Dickies, East Pak and what not brands. However the price of that bag i want is SGD89.90. Was consistenly considering whether should i or shouldn't i get the bag. DILEMMA! For something that's quite the price, i wouldn't want to have any chances to regret. I'm still thinking about it. Would appreciate your opinions =)

For don't know what reasons, i feel so damn lazy this weekend. Didn't go for training and after promising myself for gym sessions, i still didn't go for it. ARHHH! ESMOND, MOVE THAT ROYAL BUTT OF YOURS! Never mind, i shall stay home and pack my stuff and tidy things up. Basically i'm just lazy to step out of the house. Think must be the scorching sun that's causing it. On slightly cooler days, then will i have the mood to step out of the house. Weird huh. On rainy days, i want it to be sunny. On sunny days, i want it to rain. Alright, just throw me to the Antartic. NO MORE EXCUSES!

Next week, i'll 'resume' my usual activites. I MUST AND I WILL!

Shingles

2008-10-05T22:32:00.002+08:00

Alright, i've seen the doctor and this is what i've contracted.

Shingles/Herpes Zoster:

Shingles, also known as Herpes zoster, is not related to the sexually transmitted herpes virus disease called herpes genitalis. (thank god!)
Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox and can be spread to people who have not had chickenpox. (be careful out there people who havent had chickenpox, please please please stay away from me for this period of time.)
Throughout the world the incidence rate of herpes zoster every year ranges from 1.2 to 3.4 cases per 1,000 healthy individuals, increasing to 3.9–11.8 per year per 1,000 individuals among those older than 65 years (even toto wasn't that accurate, and my real birth age is 18 not 65.)
Shingles may cause pain that can continue after the rash disappears. (yes, it's now causing my left leg to be painful/sore.)
Steroids and antiviral drugs can help prevent long-term pain after shingles if they are started within the first two days of the appearance of the rash. (am taking medication now.)
Shingles is also more common in people with a poor immune system. (mum, you gotta do something about it.)
The whole process may take three to four weeks from start to finish. (sighh, it's a long way to go...)

Okay, i better go off now and keep the infected area clean, apply and take medication.
