18 December 2007
My NEW website would be up within 24 hours.
YAY!
Come back soon :)

14 December 2007
For my 20th birthday, I've decided to buy myself, my very own domain name, estherchin.com which I already did.

(because some very pathetic noob idiot took *estherchin.blogspot.com* and the person's 1st, last and ONLY post was last TWO years!
wtf. I bengang okay~ )

I guess *Boss Stewie) would understand my situation coz he also did encountered the almost-same experience with me before and was fairly pissed as I was when I found out that someone took MY name on blogspot's account.
click *here* for his post.

but at least I got my OWN DOMAIN name now... (not from blogspot)

.
.
.

So everything is cool UNTIL I realized that I didn't know how to wrap it up with a free hosting -.-

I'd be delaying my post a lil here till I figure THAT out.

Erm... can help me ar? ANYONE???

Things I NEED:

a new original Sony Ericsson Walkman headphone & mobile phone. [*this* is what happened to the old headphone]
a charm bracelet. -to take away all the *suey* / bad luck.
a new purse -cause my old one is falling apart. -Sis bought it for me already-
a new high heels. [my old one 'died-ed' like 4 days back while I was at the LRT on my way home after work and I don't have the time to even go out and buy]
a new classic yet elegant (big) handbag - all my other handbags are really small and not enough to keep ALL the stuffs that I need when I go out.
a pro hairstylist and a good haircut. -I'm getting pretty bored with my current hairstyle (that had not change much since the last 3 years) and I'm afraid to go just ANYWHERE to cut it coz I never liked the hairstyle after coming out of the saloon for the past 19+ years.
more dresses from FOREVER 21. - I am lacking of dresses, most of my attires are tops and jeans.
free unlimited facials from New York Skin Solutions
free gym membership at California Fitness.
free manicure and pedicure sessions.
free Brazilian wax sessions.
a new (light) laptop
a car + driver
a personal maid / assistant
a 'teman' to go TRAVELING with me :D
to go for the year end shopping sale at Singapore - coz I would definitely miss next year's mid year sale as I'd be going to U.S.A. around that time.
above all, I need CASH!!! - poor student like myself have to work hard for money. *sigh*

Things my FRIENDS says I NEED:

a watch - coz I'm not complete without one and I had not been wearing a watch for almost a year or more already. -Dad bought it for me already-
a new sunglasses. - there were complaints that my *GUESS* sunglasses are *UGLY* -.- Hari bought it for me already.
a bikini. - ( -.- but I don't even go swimming / beach parties and anywhere to show them off. why do I need them, huh??? )
a boyfriend. - yes, quite a few of them actually came up to me and said that I needed one [I wouldn't post up a boyfriend form like what *Boss Stewie* did (for chicks to apply to be his gf) because I would know that NO one WOULD apply for it anyway] Moreover, although there would be times that I feel lonely, I still don't think I need a bf now because I'm more caught up with other stuffs. But I certainly need a companion or at least ato be my partner in crime when I'm feeling cheeky :p

Things I DON'T need:

Surprises. - I hate it. Never had good ones before, so don't bother surprising me. I'm odd and I find most 'surprises' NOT pleasing.
Non-essential stuffs. (e.g. photo frame, bla bla...)
Cute stuffs.

Singapore Day 3

Singapore Day 1(A) entry *here*
Singapore Day 1(B) entry *here*
Singapore Day 2 entry *here*

Must be the liquor I consumed the night before that made me wake up at 8am in the morning!

Anyway, I was bored and stared entertaining myself by writing postcards that I took from the receptionist area. Don't ask me why I did it, coz I just did, even if it's silly doing so- as I would already be back at my home country by the time the postcards reach their destinations.

I wrote to my company back in Malaysia, my family and another 7 more friends :) And I ran out of things to write on the postcards halfway through. Hah!

Then, after packing up my luggage, I did the USUAL - the picture taking session while waiting for Ming to come and have lunch together...

Poser pictures:

*noticed the lack of skill/art of posing?

The mirror in the living room.

And did I mention about my fetish upon mirrors?

The very big mirror in the bedroom, right in in front of the bed.
(probably for couples to watch themselves while having.. erm... you know what)

Then the mirror outside...

Yes, I really like this new bag of mine.

So I got bored of the inside and decided to look outside...
And these were what I saw...SO #$@& CLEAN!!!

At 12 noon, Ming finally came and we went to the Great World City for lunch and a lil window shopping.

Sweet Wen came and joined us :)

We were running out of time and the bus that we were suppose to take back to KL leaves at 3pm.
But it was already 2:45pm when Wen decided to buy us yummy Fried Mars Bars. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Please try Fried Mars Bars if you haven't eaten them before.)

Look what happened to the Fried Mars Bars!!! The bowl was accidentally dropped on the floor even before those delicious yummy balls could entered my mouth! Arg!!!

In conclusion: The delicious yummy balls did entered my mouth after Wen spontaneously bought another one and MADE SURE that new bowl was in safe hands.

NOW!!! WE RUSH TO CATCH THE BUS. Obviously we missed it. The bus already left when we reached. Like duh~ We were still buying food on the other side of town 15 minutes before the departure time. -.-
( No, I'm not complaining about the Fried Mars Bars :p )

Thankfully we managed to get the 5pm bus after talking to the person in charge there.
We were warned: "Don't be late for the next bus!"
:(

1.5 hours was what we had left to spare in Singapore.

Ming's friend decided to spend us all at TAPAS WINE BISTRO (at Holland Village) and *someone* that underestimated my drinking skills challenged me to drink 2 freaking big glass of HOEGAARDEN. The drink was free coz *someone* paid for it and I couldn't resist beer.
So I 'down' it happily :)

Btw, I recommend HOEGAARDEN too. It taste good. But still cannot beat the beer taste that I drank the night before, at PUMP.

We headed back to the bus station HALF AN HOUR before 5pm just to make sure that we don't miss the bus again -.-

*sobs*
I will miss you.

2007-12-06T21:02:00.000+08:00

*I think I look really fat in this ad.

I remembered the time when I was doing the shooting at the studio, people there were asking me to slim down.

Arg! I don't have time to exercise la!!!

*sigh*

-looks at previous *post* about my friend suggesting to me on how to overcome my (no time for exercise) problem-

and *sigh* again.

An old school friend that I haven't been contacting over the past few years suddenly messaged me over MSN and 'complained '...

Bellatrix Black
Year 3 - December

“By 6pm! I want it by 6pm.” Bella insists angrily.
“Don’t you give me a row of mistakes.. I don’t want them linked to me.”
Rita Skeeter rolled her eyes. That disturbs her. Rita was indeed not taking her seriously.
“Listen, Rita!” She points at her. “If I don’t get it by SIX, don’t ever show your face in front of me again. I shall not tolerate this anymore. And I do not favor Lucius confronting me once more for this kind of nonsense.”

She could see Rita eyes widen as she mentions Lucius’s name. Rita must have regretted getting caught red handed by Bella while eying on him behind the library door, about a year back. Since then, Bella had used that as a treat on her. It was a free ticket for getting information since Rita had always been pretty resourceful.

Not waiting for Rita’s reply, she walks out of the empty classroom they were in. There are a lot of things that is going through her mind at the moment. The first class for the day did not start well for her as she came in late because she overslept. Her stomach is currently yelling at her to consume food and she is having a migraine. Apart from that, her mind is also clouded by the plan. Time is running out, he is coming and we have to make sure everything is executed perfectly.

She glances at the clock only to realize that she is late for her next class again. She takes a deep breath *sigh* and made a quick left turning at the corner. Before she realizes what happened, her parchments & quills were flying up in the air. And a very firm grip held her arm to stop her from falling. She holds on to the body of the person she bumped into helplessly as she stood up properly. She looks up and gazed into his eyes. He had an attractive pair of electric blue eyes but with lesser color on one side. She blinked and scan quickly at the rest of his face only to recognize the person. Jack? Silence. Her mind went blank until she realizes that she was actually staring at him. She quickly loosens her grip and picks up her belongings on the floor. Jack’s glasses could be seen not far from her quills but it didn’t cross her mind to pick the glasses up for him.

Hastily, she turned and walks off. Halfway down the hallway, she glances back. Jack was still standing at the same spot where they bumped into each other. He was looking at her but this time with his glasses on. She turns and headed off to class.

Singapore: Day 2

Singapore Day 1(A) entry *here*
Singapore Day 1(B) entry *here*

I was half blind the whole day.
Why? Coz I lost my left contact lens and had NO SPARE!
and NO! I'm NOT wearing glasses.
^@$# :(

YES! (For those of you that asked) Perak Lodge DO serve delicious English BREAKFAST.

Ming picked us up after breakfast and we headed to Sg. Nuffnang office to WORK!

We had to prepare for the evening's movie screening, *Enchanted*.

the lil Santa that Ming bought the day before at Daiso

see... all the JUNK FOOD in the office!

Gosh! If I were to intern at Sg office, I'd definately get really really fat!
And you know how I cannot resist junk food (other than sweets).

Me, Skyler and Wen (SG intern)

Wen is sooo cute!!!

We then headed to Great World City for the screening, in the afternoon.
As usual, I was bored in the car... and played around with my camera again. :p

I tried to get myself a pair of contact lens upon reaching the complex but they only sell in boxes, so I didn't buy any in the end.

We waited for bloggers to come and collect their tickets and name cards for the screening at a booth in front of the cinema.

SG famous and popular bloggers like *XiaXue*, *Sheylara*, *yLva* and *Jayden* was there too.

*Sheylara* and I
:)

The group picture that I wasn't in it coz I was the one that took this shot.

---

After the movie, we went for dinner and Estee, being the nice person she already is, introduced her friends to us.

I quote what *Estee* said to her 2 friends Isaac and *JunKang*:
"If you want to stalk them, go ahead and check their blogs. They're bloggers."

-.-

I JUST HAD to party wherever I go, so I was happy when they decided to bring us clubbing after dinner.

We headed down to Clarke Quay and apparently Singaporeans don't club on Mondays (that's why the street was empty).

ALL the clubs there were NOT open EXCEPT one.
PUMP was our only choice although I had no regrets going there coz the house brew beer was really good (I had always preferred beer over other types of liquor)
I did enjoyed myself [except for the fact that my @$%# *Dorothy Perkins top* that I was wearing that night was quite loose (I think it's coz of the time when I accidentally dumped it into the washing machine instead of hand washing it) and it made me really uncomfortable while dancing.]

The whole lot of beer!
Woohoo~~~

Raine, me, Isaac and Skyler

*JunKang*, me, Isaac and Skyler

The purposely- blurred picture.

We headed back at about 2:30 in the morning AND I was contented and happy.

Would want to go Zouk the next time I am in Singapore!!!
I wonder what other clubs are famous there? Hmm...

Running away isn't the RIGHT way...

2007-12-05T12:45:00.000+08:00

So you really think that you can escape from all your problems by walking out on people that loves you?
How immature you can be at times.
Thinking as if just by packing your belongings and leave would change any damn thing.

Have you ever thought about the consequences of your foolish actions?
The responsibilities you leave behind for other members to carry.
Or were you just too simple minded to think of it; what more, care?

Just coz of your selfish decision.
What's yours are the ones closes to you to bear.
I hope you are happy with the way things are now.

Growing up aint' easy. Maturing is harder.

2007-12-03T13:39:00.000+08:00

I have perverted friends. Many many of them... and one of the MILD example is the below screenshot,

*I was complaining that I'm not slim and a friend of mine suggested me this...

SEXERCISE!
hah! who would have thought of that!

Why is/are my friend/s like that???

2007-11-30T19:46:00.000+08:00

I would be on an OLYMPUS advertisement in STAR newspaper on the 1 Dec 07.

Heh! My first freelance / part time job that landed on the newspaper!
So excited :D

what do you think?

*p.s.: another 2 more advertisements on Canon and Nikon to be advertised soon :)

Singapore: Day 1 (B)

2007-11-29T23:50:00.000+08:00

Date: 18 Nov 2007
previous Singapore entry *here*

Vivo City looks like a bigger version of Mid Valley from the inside...

yes.. me & the Bee Christmas Tree

& Ming

& Skyler too.

because the 3 of us were hungry, we headed straight to the food court...

(-.-") + "western food?!?" was Ming's expression when he saw what we ordered.
I mean... I didn't know what to order la... most of the time when I decide for what food to eat, I'd walk a few rounds at the food court and finally gave up not knowing what to eat and then... simply pick a dish at the store near my sit.
And the food in Singapore looks the same as Malaysian food, just more expensive...

After eating, we spent A LOT OF TIME at DAISO.
Why?
Coz the things there is super cheap :p

After buying a few stuffs from Daiso... we headed to a few other shops like Forever 21, Charles & Keith, FILA ...

Ming's such a sweet guy. Before we headed back, after shopping, he suddenly turn to us and said "I wanna go buy present for my gf!" in response I asked what's the occasion, and he said 'no occasion'.
Yes, Ming. I know you are very happy buying chocolates for Estee at the Chocolate Factory (It's like chocolate heaven in that shop).
Ish! I am soooo jealousss.....

BTW, if you think ladies, shop A LOT, please take a look at the stuffs Ming brought...

Haha... Ming Exposed!

He's so jumpy and happy when he was buying all those stuffs! - like a little boy :p
Initially, I though that he'd follow us to do OUR shopping, INSTEAD we followed HIM! -.-

After calling it a day at the shopping complex that I didn't get to walk finish... we headed to pick Estee up and hang around at Ming's house, AND yet again... I took photos :D

First, I took a picture of the biggest mirror I've seen in a house...... and ONE of the living rooms in the big house.

Then, I messed around with the grand piano...
Yes! I'm a fake PRO pianist :p

and so is Skyler.
*we were both placing out hands on the piano only, just to take this shot*

:p

Finally...

Esther and Estee

Back at Perak Lodge, I lay it all out...

1) Things I bought:

2) Things I brought... (minus the Red bag)

(cont, Day 2)

2007-11-28T20:34:00.000+08:00

I'd always been a Harry Potter fan, no doubt about that [although I haven't read the last 2 books]. The odd thing about claiming that I'm HP's fan is that I dislike Harry Potter's character to the core. Why? Coz of the fact that Harry literally gets away with everything, even if he did break the rules and those kind of 'advantages' he gets just because of that stupid scar on his forehead. Life's so damn unfair... even on fiction books. *sigh*

Moreover, Dan looks really cute last time ...
BUT now, he looks really gay to me. click *here* and *here* to see WONDERFUL pictures of him.

.
.

Remember my previous post on 25 Nov 07?
In that post, I wrote a small fraction of what Bellatrix was going through, one silent night.

Bellatrix Black is actually the character that I picked (*here* is the link to my previous contemplation on taking up that particular character) to rp in the RPG that my friend Ashvini started.

The time line for this RPG is during 'The Marauders Era' (for you noobs out there, it means Harry's father's time. AND yes, that means that Harry's not born YET) when they were still in studying Hogwards - when Lily hates Potter, Snape and Lily are best friends, Bella is still very protective over her little sister Narcissa, Lucius isn't together with Narcissa yet, and so on...

Currently, the characters taken are only Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Lockhart, Lucius Malfoy, Bella, Snape, Dumbledore and an invented character Jonathan 'Jack' Corvonius.

If any of you guys are interested in RPG-ing, plz let me know ya... there are a lot more characters NOT taken.

Trust me, honestly, it's gonna be fun :)

Coming back to the character, Belaltrix Black, I really hate the fact that people thinks she's crazy. I mean, she is only crazy after Askaban. Before that, she wasn't, GET THAT RIGHT...

Like I've mentioned, She's all that I am, all that I want to be and even more. I meant it. I find her characteristics a lot like mine - sadistic, her temperament...
And as I post, there would be times that I could dramatize some things in my life that happened to me or I would want it to happen and put her character in MY shoes...
For example, I'd sometimes post as Bellatrix here (in this site) which are related to myself, current situation and stuffs like that. It's like seeing me through Bellatrix. The things she go through, her thoughts, the current Jack that always at the back of her mind...

Sometimes, I really do wish I was her, JUST a fiction character of a book.

I had been pretty 'offbeat' (or so, coz that's what my friendS [e.g. HariHariHappy] told me) for the past few days. Fine... fine... guys, I'm SORRY... I've not been getting enough sleep la.. try not sleeping for 3 says and see how you'd feel. Only yesterday did I enjoyed a good night sleep after JonJon 'literally' threatened and quite 'unsuccessfully' forced me to sleep. Thanks JonJon for the concern but NO! I'm not going to treat you 10 meals at Chillies. Damn it! I don't even have enough money to eat at those places myself. Cant even recall of when was the last time I went to eat at restaurants like those.

I know I would be really...really emo, depress and hostile (and so on...) when I'm stress [ALSO not saying that I'm NOT hostile when I'm NOT stress] but what the heck... can't really help it. I guess all I want to say is in this post is a big THANK YOU for the support and help that I received from my dad and friends [Observer@Freethinker, Kristof and Jack] that pull me through my 1st SUPER 'stressful' time. I wouldn't have make it through [without falling apart] if I was going through it on my own. AND come to think of it, this 'minor stressful phase'( to those that knows why I was stressed, probably and most likely thinks it's minor because they had been there and done more) is only the beginning of more to come. [Am already starting to have eyebags -.-]

Ya, don't look at me in the awkward kind of expression, I get stressful easily even if it's little things. I've only just came out of the small little confine and comfortable shell to face the world... Call me a noob or newbee to the outside world, but life DOES start at 20!!!

let them know that the goal is to keep me from falling
ooh

nothings greater than the rest that comes with your embrace

in this world alone the loneliness i see your face
your everywhere around me everyone thinks i'm going crazy

but i don't care what they say i'm in love with you
they tried to pull me away
but they don't know the truth
my hearts crippled by the vein that i keep on closing

you cut me up and i
keep bleeding, i keep keep bleeding love, i keep bleeding, i keep keep bleeding love,
keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love,
you cut me up

and its draining out of me
oh they find it hard to believe
i'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see

i don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
they try to pull me away
but they don't know the truth
my hearts crippled by the vein that i keep on closing

I guess a big part of growing up is dealing with regret. Swallowing your pride.
There are some things in life you can’t go back & change, no matter how much you want to.
I think that day I was finally forced to grow up, to leave the past behind, for one final time.

Tears And Rain - JAMES BLUNT

2007-11-24T19:23:00.000+08:00

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.

Tears and Rain.
Tears and Rain.

Far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

"EVERYONE HATES ME..."
"EVERYONE HATES ME..."
a little girl with short jet black hair ran into the house screaming
steaming hot tears row down her cheeks
loosing her breath, her heart pounding hard
she felt weak all of a sudden as though the devil is taking her life anytime soon
*slam*
the door made such a loud sound, it frightened the little girl
as she dropped herself on her bed burring her face underneath her pillow
sobbing, she uttered softly
"Everyone hates me... ..."

Singapore: Day 1 (A)

2007-11-23T20:00:00.000+08:00

Date: 18 Nov 2007

I woke up beaming...

See? All smiles in the car with my sister. I think my sister is really happy that I'm leaving... Haha... finally no one to disturb her :p

The whole family accompanied me to the bus station at the Old Railway Station.

We took the PLUSliner (Nice Bus) to Singapore. The coach was expensive, cozy and nice with a little more than enough space for a person to relax :)
OKAY!!! I admit! (coz I feel guilty) Skyler and I weren't suppose to be taking this executive bus down to Singapore, only our Bosses have the luxury for that. We actually did not have a choice because we bought the bus tickets last minute (Nice Buss was the last resort) and there were no other economical buses left (due to the school holidays season) So future INTERNS, book your bus tickets earlier if Boss were to send you to Singapore or Penang. Sorry Boss (for letting us go this time)! Thank you boss (for not getting mad about it)!

They served us tea and kuih while we waited for the bus to arrive.

Then they served us this (below) when we were in the bus.

I was snapping a lot of pictures in the bus until it came to a point where I turned to Skyler and said:
I think my camera batteries gonna die before I reach Singapore.
Why? Have you been camwore-ing?
Kinda. It's pretty boring and the movies have finish.
Hey! Camwore sounds so porn!!!

It's really boring okayyy... sitting in the bus for 6 hours!
And the movie that they were showing was pretty boring too.

The bus stopped at the restroom about 4 times wei!!! No wander we took so long to reach Singapore.

( I want a GENTleman:p )

At the Malaysian immigrant:The Officer in charged looked at my passport photo and said:

You look different in the picture...
Oh? Please tell me I look prettier in real person :)

I'm sooo gonna get use to people telling me that I look different from my pictures.

We finally reach Singapore about 2pm. Stopped at Copthorne Orchird and waited for Ming to pick us up.

Ming turned out to be a nice person. Cheeky too. Although he can be a very OCB (Obsessive Compulsive Boss)

Okay, he took us to check in at Perak Lodge (A Private Guess House). Honestly, I felt awkward at that name, Perak is a city in Malaysia AND I mean... I came all the way to Singapore to stay at Perak Lodge?

---
But in case you guys are going to Singapore and still thinking of where spend the night, Perak Lodge would be a good pick :)

Add: 12 Perak Road, 208122, Singapore
Tel: (65) 296 9072
---

We checked out the suite :) that we were brought to. It's really big! There were 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and another living room in the middle separating the 2 bedrooms.

I got the smaller bedroom... -.-

and the double bedroom was taken by Skyler when she made her way into the room first and pointed at the bed saying "I want this room!"

After dumping our luggages aside (...and I've taken all the photos that I wanted) we then, visited the Nuffnang's office and headed to Vivo Complex.

(cont...)

P.s.: Singapore is so CLEAN. -.- Sooo unlike Malaysia!!!

someone please pass me the bottle of beer

2007-11-21T22:23:00.000+08:00

Have you ever experience the times when you feel like crying but the tears just wouldn't come out?
Do you know how is it like to keep everything to yourself and not know who to turn to during melancholic times?
Going through the times when you sit and eat alone, going to the movies alone and take long walks at the park alone.
Did you never deceive yourself and denying your true feelings and thoughts?
*sigh*

Life had been pretty monotonous lately and I'm really bored.
Someone pass me a bottle of beer please.

My Dearest,

It feels like I have spent my entire life trying to find someone like you. You were my only real true love. The one person I loved more than anything in the world. There is no reason to fool myself anymore. I loved you from the first moment I laid eyes on you and I have ever since.

As I look back on our past together, I often wonder how you were ever so patient with me. Until this moment, I have never realized just how lucky I am to have you in my life. If I had been you, I would have walked away from me a long time ago. Yet your love is so unconditional and pure, like the beautiful person you are. You always accepted me for who I am, willing to sacrifice everything for me. I don't deserve an angel like you.

It brings tears to my eyes to realize how many times I might have lost you; how much I took your love for granted; how many times I was foolish enough to think that I could fix my life on my own. Please forgive me for all my foolishness.

I have finally opened my eyes and realized that I love you more than words can say. I don't know how many lifetimes it will take to make up for all the lost time, to repay the kindness and endless love you've shown me, but I want you to know that I am going to try.

All I ask is please be patient and understanding as these times are difficult and a struggle for you and me, I am torn between survival and my feelings for you. Life throws us many curves, the path may be long and hard but in the end the road widens and life changes for the better.

You don't have to say anything or do anything. I just wanted you to know that no matter what happens in this life, I will always hold a special place for you in my heart. It's true. It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. I am happy that I knew true love, for it is from that love that I have my most cherished memories.

From now to eternity, you'll be in my heart every moment of every day. Thinking of you makes me happy and for as long as I live, I will never stop dreaming of a reunion for our two hearts.

Thank you for sharing your love and your life with me. Thank you for showing me true love.

Thinking of you always, yours forever.

Time flies when you're having fun!

I'm back from Singapore!
I wanna go there AGAIN!!!
Thank you for sending me over to help out in the exclusive screening of Walt Disney Pictures’ Enchanted :D
The trip was really fun and Ming had been very nice and patient to bring us (Skyler & I) around.

I'm really sorry guys (and gals) coz I did NOT take much photos for this trip. I know... I KNOW... I did promise to take lots and lots of photos when I'm down in Singapore but I was either too busy working or shopping that photo sessions slipped off my mind A LOT OF TIMES. But I still I do have photos to show you guys *smiles*

Would post about the trip later- maybe tomorrow or the day after, as the pictures needs to be sorted out and I foresee a super busy week/end ahead of me which a big amount of it is related to work.

Current MSN personal message: Why your boss like that? [inside joke]

Boss: Esther, you wanna go to Singapore?
Esther: Uh?
Boss: Do YOU want to go down to Singapore?
Esther: *suddenly get into senses* YES!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES..........

Yay!
I'm going down to Singapore tomorrow and coming back on the 20th Nov '07.
*smiles*
Thanks to the company that I'm interning in.
*smiles*
Thank you. Thank You. Thank You.

Okay, Singapore may NOT be a BIG deal to you guys...
but it's a big deal to me.
WHY?
Because the last time that I actually set foot OUT of Malaysia is when I was Standard 3, which is about 10 years AGO
Like DUH~
How can I NOT be EXCITED???

since this trip was quite a last minute thing and my passport expired ages ago... I had to take a few hours off office hours yesterday to renew my passport.

Behold: The OLD and NEW

Thinking back, I don't remember going to many places out of Malaysia previously, I think I did went to Singapore when I was 5 years old and a few other placed like Indonesia and Thailand when I was really REALLY young.

The last country I went to (out of Malaysia) was to U.S.A.
Disneyland in L.A. was fun and the whether during December was superb! :D

Yea.. as you can see in the picture, I used to be a chubby child.
Not saying that I'm very thin now either =.=

OKAY... here's the list of things that I've to bring there:

MONEY
GUESS sunglasses
a pair of shoe
a pair of heels
a pair of socks
a pair of jeans
2 skirts
panties & bras
3 tops
pajamas
contact lense & spectacles
Pantex camera & batteries
handphone & batteries
shampoo & conditioner
toothbrush & toothpaste
comb
facial stuffs (cleanser, toner, moisturizer)
Shopaholic Takes Manhattan novel (it's a 5 - 6 bus ride okay... will boring wan)
MAKE UP SET!!! (eye shadow, lip gloss, liquid foundation and eyeliner, powder foundation... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...)

Is there anything ELSE that I've missed?

Gtg pack already... bus leaves in approximately 12 hours from now.

*sigh* I had to turn down FOUR clubbing invitations TONIGHT for Singapore trip tomorrow.
Why O why does this ALWAYS happens to me?!?

Attention:
Can someone, anyone...PLEASE tell me WHO is the YOUNGEST Asian entrepreneur FEATURED in BUSINESSWEEK?

p.s.: Since you are such a lazy ass to check out who it is, I'd tell you anyway... it's *him*

Speaking of entrepreneurs, I went to the launching of Youth Malaysia '08 last Thursday which was at PWTC.

Youth Malaysia's boss, Handsome Joel (winner of reality TV show The Firm) giving his opening speech:

Then, the Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports gave his speech:

The other 'clubs' that were there sent their representatives to pose for a bit up on stage:

Finally the button pressing ceremony as a sign of launching the event officially:

Then this: (lazy to insert stuffs here so YOU just look at the picture la...)

Honestly, the best thing of this event is the FOOD.
But I was too hungry after the event that I did not bother taking pictures of it.
Bah~
:p

I woke up at 5:45am today, excited.
WHY?
Coz I knew that Nuffnang had launched their Nuffnang 2.0 this morning, at approximately 2AM!!!
and I was too tired to stay up till that time.

So, I checked out the NEW website look.
Gotta admit that only professionals could come up with impressive website such as that.
Everything's so cool especially the INNIT section
:D

Then I...
INNIT!
NANGIT!
INNIT!

I must say, this new Nuffnang website is really GOOD STUFF.

It's not even 24 hours since it'd been launched but there were already MORE THAN 50 people that INNIT!

P.s.: Good job TEAM, love you guys to bits!

Last Monday I woke up with Kebab on my mind. And from that time, Kebab was the only thing in my mind (apart from work) and I was craving for it...breakfast, lunch AND dinner. I then started wining and mumbling AND irritating my colleagues AND friends over MSN about teman-ing me to eat Kebab. But the irony of it is, I never got to eat it until yesterday... That was because 2 of my colleagues got fed up and had ENOUGH with my constant, uncontrollably nonsense about Kebab and hence, they teman me; and I got to eat my kebab.

So we headed to the NEAREST Kyros Kebab for dinner and ordered our kebabs.

But when the food came, apparently ONLY Firdaus is quite satisfied with with his meal.

As for Tim2, he thinks that the 2 long brown 'lembu' kebab looks like shit. And for the fact that it practically DOES NOT taste nice, he wasn't happy with it.

AND mine WASN'T delicious either. *sigh* Regret having those cravings for kebab now.

Sorry Tim2 and Firdaus.
My bad.

As the Chinese saying goes, "Women's look changes 18 times" or I think that's how it's quoted (directly from Cantonese). I find it somewhere-what true, after looking through the pictures of myself in Friendster. (SOMEONE! Teach me how to use Facebook!!!)

This is how I look like in year;

2004(Chinese New Year)

2005(June)

(Sept)

2006

(Chinese New Year)

(prom)

2007 (January)

(February)

(April)

(May)

(September)

So you noticed that I look different in most of my pictures?
I noticed!

Even Mr. Observer @ Freethinker mentioned this to me:
"i sure know u lar.. the one wif multiple images"

Speaking of him reminds me of the time when he, dustyhawk and tenthofmarch came over to the office to check out pre-launch Nuffnang 2.0

I remembered that day clearly because I didn't know that there would be people dropping by the office (hence the super long photo session[above] we had just to take an APPROPRIATE picture) and was having a bad hair day.
Literally, a bad hair day - without make up on because I was rushing for work.

Seriously, a ladies car SHOULD come along with this:

Bellatrix Black
Year 3 - October
*cont*

"Bellatrix... Wake up!" "Bella..."
She opened her eyes slowly to see the younger Lestrange tugging her hard.
His face showed somewhere-what; concern.
Despite being irritated by his gesture, she was also confused as to why he was acting that way.
"What is it?" she said, as she glanced to the clock on the wall. Damn... It's already 9pm. She missed dinner again.

"It's Rudolphus. Er... I donno what's wrong with him lately. He's been acting suspiciously...weird. Been talking to himself a lot too. I think he's going crazy? Erm..... Erm.... I don't know if you should be inform about this, but I think his current state has something to do with the task Malfoy gave him. You know?? Malfoy wants information about that Persian guy, Jack... "

Bella was starting to get bored of his slow 'monolog' about his brother as she stared at Lestrange, but wait he mentioned something about... JACK? Why does Malfoy wants information about Jack? Is there something going on that she didn't know? Malfoy's plan that's not disclosed. Why didn't Rudolphus tell her? They are suppose to work together, as a pair, a team, as per usual.

I must confront Rudolphus about this matter!

Starbucks coffee is by far the BEST.
I cannot imagine how ANYONE can not like Starbucks.
I'd had been a Starbucks addict if I weren't ALWAYS this low in cash.

-

This is the pan mee that I 'accidentally' put TOO MUCH chili in thinking that I could take the 'pedas-ness' hence, I couldn't eat dinner coz my stomach became a battlefield of chillies and stomach acid.

YES!!! I've found the ''C'' button that I've claimed to lose, about a week back!
The only thing NOW is how am I going to stick it back to my mobile phone.
UHU glu?

*SIGH*
This is the SECOND parcel I received this month from another university in U.S.A.
*sigh*
*sigh*
Sponsor me to study in U.S.A. plz...
ANYONE?

You know what really irritates me?
It's people that TELLS me what to do.
As if I can't take care of myself.
One minor example is;
How's your day?
Tired.
Then go sleep la...

yes..yes.. I know people 'tells' me what to do, outta concern and all, but I just don't like it.
Bah~

and another thing is when people just can't literally say bye and chao.
Have to say "take care", "have a good night rest", "sleep well" bla bla bla...
WTF.
Just keep it short and leave.
Don't ask me why I'm so mean and have only a lil sense of caring attitude towards people. I just am.
This is probably ONE very GOOD reason out of so MANY other reasons why I'm single now.
