A week away from mind-blowing modules, tests and project.

is it just me or is the sun in indonesia more scorching?
1 X tanning in sibolga = 5 X tanning in singapore
too bad i didnt bring my banana boat.

Indonesian food is the curtain call appearance, man.
Pecel Lele, Ayam Bakar, Bakso, Jus Apokat and a new discovery.

bubur banado with salted fish and belachan. YUM

La Cruise bar behind Nagoya Hill Plaza.

This is really an awesome one. The building of the bar is shaped like a Star Cruise and the interior is exactly like the deck of a ship. Too bad they don’t allow photography but the ambience is thumbs UP and the drinks and desserts are great especially the avocado pudding with condensed milk. wooh

White Lace and Promises.

Early in the morning of 8am. Asyakirin Mosque at Taman Jurong, we hear the bells ringing.
and who are we solemnizing?

i cant believe this, Zubby. i feel like a spinster at the wedding. LOL
she looked damn pretty and ramly looks damn scary in this pic. haha

ring exchange and solemnization.
the mosque is pretty grand.

then to ramly's place for some yummy wedding spread. the sambal prawn damn damn damn damn damn damn delicious. i can just eat the gravy with plain rice, i tell you. this is the best part of weddings. but of course i wasnt in it for the food only la. haha


ZUBAIDAHHHHHHH.
congratulations, honeybum. this is a turning point of your life and i hope it is for the better. young marriages might come as questionable to some. but for your case, i think it is more of a blessing.

YAWN.
school commences again. boohoo. meaning? more UTs, more lessons to drop your hair over, closer to FYP report submission date, closer to FYP presentation. 14 Nov is Judgement Day, my dear Year 3 peeps. 14 Nov.
but it means i get to eat my favourite soya bean ice cream again. :D

speaking of judgement day, have ya'll watched Armageddon yet?
okayyy. pardon me for being way outdated again. but i only watched the show last saturday.
very nice film and great cast. Bruce Willis, Michael Clark Duncan and Liv Tyler.
When Ben Affleck sang Leaving on the Jet Plane before he rocketed off, my cousins all went aww.
but when Bruce Willis was talking to his daughter through the satellite channel for the last time, that was an instant tear jerker, man.
Don't Wanna Miss A Thing is haunting again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TAN HO HO!

can you believe this? your previous birthday was just like days ago at Sakura.
now we're here at a karaoke singing our heart out for another year.


here we have the birthday girl.
tried to do a stunt to surprise you and it was supposed to be me.
but it was an authentic failure.

oh man. are my eyes playing tricks on me?
xyn is singing! holy moley. and the amazing part is ... she sings WELL!!!

lynette is like scanning for some old songs cos i haven listened to chinese songs in 92384919038290 years. so all i can sing is some jay chou, leehom numbers.
oh yea, they have Take A Bow in K Box. that's pretty updated for kbox standard.

whee! happy happy happy.
i love my old friends. (no pun intended, ho yeh. i swear. XOXO i love you.)

after reliving our past affection for show, we decided to make a trip down to his shop furthest side of the East.
the clothes are disappointing. but the shopkeepers are all gorgeous taiwanese with eyelashes that can fan you across the room.

High Tides and Enlightenment.
ten ten says: "frdewsygtfrdews" (pronunciation: fer-due-yer-ger-du-fer due)
wtf? haha

how can i miss out a wonderful sunday with my lovely friend from Somali.

i love that we love the same kind because i can go like:
"hey, check that out!"
and he will go: " oh my god! that's HOT!"

del mar, 15 bucks, madonna, mineral water, tent rental, bossa nova, middle finger and lots of hahas.

Late Nights with Gerard Emmanuel- The Diet Talk Show.
hello there, fellow readers.

today, we shall talk about your diet.
now, i know it can get really boring at the sight of the word DIET, but trust me, it is not going to be about me telling you how i wanna lose fats and become anorexic. really.
we are going to talk about what is right for you. yes, you there staring at my blog.

so anyway, my dear fren Gery Emmanuel has this really stringent regimen on what he eats and stuff. (from protein shakes to sandwiches every 3 hours)
and i can really see that he looks so much healthier, fit and radiant. so i was wondering how it happened.
then he told me this entire process of how he came to be what he was now but by the time he completed his story, my jaw was near the ground.
tedious the process may seem, but wow, it is kinda inspiring.
when i told some (esp momok) about how i wanted to follow a strict healthy-lifestyle diet just like gery, she gave me that are-you-insane face.

gery's hypothesis (pro-diet):
you are what you eat. you eat shit, you become one. would you rather live short and miss out the good things at a later part of your life or make more effort now and have a lasting youthful, wrinkle-free lifespan? dont be stupid.
momok's hypothesis (anti-diet):
life is short. eat what you want now. you never know when you might just die. would you rather live short but know you have lived to the fullest or live long but feel unfulfilled? dont be stupid.

well yea, i dont wanna be stupid of cos but whatever choice i make, it seems that i will be to either one of you right?
so i guess i will try gery's hypothesis for the first half of my life to gain lifespan.
After which, i'll take momok's idea for the rest of the half cos i am near death by then anyway so i'll just eat all i want. good idea? yea, i thought so too.
if there are unforeseen deaths like car accidents or lightning electrocution, the above mentioned is void.

back to gery's inspirational talk about healthy diet.
it is so very true that people nowadays have a misconception that diet means to slim down and look like some model (male or female alike) so you can walk like the breeze next to tyra banks. no no no.
diet, in its rightful term, means to have a healthy proportion of your macronutrients and vitamins according to your height or weight.
so when i say: "i'm on a diet", it does not mean that i am trying to be thinner. i am merely being more conscience about my portions for meals. ok? good, so moving on...

for us humans (any shape, size, color, religion), we need to take note of the things we eat.
to ensure a healthy diet, one should take in all essential nutrients and calories daily.
by nutrients, i mean your macronutrients (c'mon. we learn about this in structural bio, peeps). They can be classified into:
Protein (animal source are better as they contain full sets of amino acids. soy is the only veg source that contain complete amino acid set so you may take that too.)
Carbohydrates (take unrefined carbs like wholemeal or brown rice. refined carbs has all the goodness taken away.)
Fats (do not scrap fats totally. a lil of it will be good.)
(no nucleic acid ah. how to consume that?)

As for calories, the right amount to take in should be about 1000 kCal for small people like me and for the average people, it is about 1400 kCal.
any more than that becomes fats, any less than that causes energy reduction.
but of course, that depends according to other things like the individual's metabolism rate and stuff.

i think he is a powerful counsellor because as of now, i have no interest for smoking or shisha anymore. i remember those times where i went home feeling so guilty after those lung destruction sessions but i just wake up forgetting my guilt and doing the same old routine again. so this is it.
this is the phase of your life where whatever you do makes you what you become for the rest of your life. (:

kill my thoughts.
[jukebox track >>> dynamo of volition- jason mraz]


wanted to experience the life of an american couch potato.
so me and jr. went down to the DVD rental shop to get some movies.
and that splurger decided to get some hawaiian pizza.
we sat in the "theatre" for like 5 hours and the experience was good. laid back and all.
that caveman wanted to watch A Walk To Remember, which i did for 6 times already, but being a darling of a friend i tried parting my eyelids and kept my snoring minimal.
the only part that kept me awake was probably the part where he went to his dad's place to thank him for paying Jamie's private homecare. wah, that part. tsk tsk tsk.
and the caveman, as i expected, tried to be a man and hold back his tears. bad attempt.


i never really watched the Da Vinci Code and i've heard from my friends that it sucked.
but i was thinking- c'mon, it's a Tom Hanks film. how bad can it get?
and yea, i was right. it was nice what. considering mook's stereo system as a boost.
i thought it fulfilled its part as a thriller and a controversial story.
i myself is a catholic and i dont see why people have to blow up such a big deal about it.
it is your faith, your call. why do you have to be so affected by what a film or story spins about?
the only part that is worth being pissed about isnt even real.
the background may be real, but the priory of sion and the murderous doings of silas is just cloud castles.
[random note: i think silas is a good looker. tho sadistic.]

note to JAMES AND JASON//
listen ah you two neh neh porks. LOL
"The serpent tempts the woman to eat from the tree of knowledge, telling her that it will not lead to death; she succumbs, and gives the fruit to the man."
"The serpent in the garden of Eden, slier than every beast of the field, in Christian theology represents Satan, and the Fall (the eating of the forbidden fruit) establishes original sin."
In all archaelogical context, Satan, the one who challenged the religious faith of humans is always termed using masculinity. Lucifer, the SON of the Dawn. HE-satan, the accuser. Belzebub, the LORD.
THE CROOKED SERPENT IS A MAN!!!!
so who's fault issit? HUH!
who feed the woman with the apple? MAN!!
GARGHHHHHH. lol

p.s: no offence to anyone. it is just an inside FYP battle. thank you. (:
