Heartburn! losing weight!
I can't swallow food or drink water! Whenever substances get through my throat, I feel the pain. I kept burping too... seems like there is alot of air in my stomach.
Heartburn or pyrosis is a painful and burning sensation in the esophagus, just below the breastbone usually associated with regurgitation of gastric acid. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw. Sometimes I couldn't breathe properly too, I have to gasp for air to breathe.
For 4 days, I wasted food, I have become the slowest eater.
I have a motto for myself that is not to waste food. Even if I am full, I will force myself to finish the food from my plate. Among my girlfriends, I ate the fastest.
I think I am losing weight too because I eat less now. Oh no...rag bone Jasmine.
I need to gain weight after I am well again. 43kg is damn pathetic! 48kg here I come! I was watching this korean drama and I saw this actress who looked so good, her arms are so fleshy and toned, her thighs are meaty yet super toned too! I dont' have the money to apply for gym membership but I am really going to exercise and keep training!!!
She exercises alot and is voted as the most healthy artist in Korea. She has the perfect face and figure... ah! I like her in the variety show We Got Married, she is so pretty! I love her songs too such as Crazy and Saturday Night.


Look at those firm arms!




Her legs are so toned! My thighs are wobbling wherever I go.




I am going to see a doctor tomorrow, hopefully he diagnosed me with heartburn and not throat ulcer or tumour or cancer.
Relief is often found by raising the head of the bed, raising the upper body with pillows, or sleeping sitting up.Sleep sitting up? I will end up lying down. haha.
Busy Busy Busy!

Biggest turn off: SMELL
If you look ugly, it doesn't matter to me, I will still look at you.

If you stink really really bad, it MATTERS TO ME and I will try to stop breathing just because of you!

Anybody knows what is the word to describe my hatred for smelly people? Definitely not racist or sexist or yada yada.
On the way to school in Bus 151, I sat beside an uncle who sat cross-legged with the legs leaning against the backrest of the seat infront of him. Hence his feet were exposed.
Ok, in the first place, why did I sit beside him when I have already seen him sitting "abnormally"?

Ans: I didn't want to stand up for the next 20 minutes and the seat beside the smelly uncle was the only seat that was unoccupied.
When I sat beside him.
OH MY GOSH!
FAINTS!
HELP!
I frowned immediately because the uncle beside me was so smelly!
Ok, how do I describe?
The smell was a mixture of washed-clothes-that-are-not-sunned + dead-rats-which-just-drank-bombay-sapphire-gin + smelly-tofu-rubbed-against-sweaty-armpits.
The 2 girls sitting on the chair beside me were staring at me as if they knew nobody wanted to sit beside him or there were wondering how come I DIDN'T SMELL ANYTHING!?!
I did smell. I endured. I suffered inside. I stopped breathing for a while.
I gasped for fresh air but it turned out to be foul air.
When will this smelly uncle alight? Uncle, please alight soon.
10 minutes later, I could feel that my face was turning green after breathing in the polluted air.
A lady sitting diagonially infront of me left the seat as she was about to alight. I was so tempted to change seat.
But later, I had this thought that the smelly uncle might come after me. Like strangle me and say,
" WO HEN CHOW SI MAH! SI SAM BA! NI CHOW CHI ***!" (in singlish, it means, I am very smelly is it? Die bitch! You smelly virg....!)
I shrugged off that thought but I still succumbed to my cowardly mentality and kiasiness, I... I...
I... still sat beside the smelly uncle. GUA GUA GUA~~~
AH.....thinking about it now, I am so stupid, I should have just changed seat or pretend to alight and stand at the rear of the bus right? *slaps myself.
After 15 minutes, I still smelt it, but finally he stood up! I gave way and finally I have the seat to myself!
Usually, being a considerate passenger, I always sit right inside next to the window, but this time round I didn't, the seat was kind of "contaminated" to me hence I didn't move in. Please pardon me to those NUS students standing up in the bus. =x
When something looks unpleasant, you can close your eyes and not see it.
When something tastes unpleasant, you can spit it out.
When somethins smells, smell it. BO BIAN.
You are given a nose to breathe and smell. If you choose not to smell means you are not breathing and you may die.
You can't choose not to smell but still breathe.
A gentle reminder to Jasmine(Me): So next time when something smells, please move away.
What a bad experience today=((
Sweaty smell after an exercise, is fine for me, but washed clothes that are not sunned or dried are the smelliest!

I am Crazy over Kim Hyun Joong from Boys Before Flowers
The most famous drama still airing in Korea is Boys Before Flowers. It is not just the pretty boys and cute girls but about friendship, relationship and life's decisions.
Kim Hyun Joong as Ji Hoo, the supporting actor. I love him from the previous reality show We Got Married. I can understand why Shi Yun loves pretty boys.
I idolise people who have their own flair, he has the X factor. Girls with long silky hair usually have their unqiue style. Girls with great walking posture, have great flair too, they look stunning!
Girls with that black geeky spectacles, they looked so good in it, they are able to exude their own personal style. I think chioness is not just a pretty face, it is the unqiue flair that one has.
You might not know him but let me share with you some pictures of him. Idolising him is a just a passing fad, hence do not worry about me, I will forget about him a few months later. If only Isaac looks ....... haha. *Smacks! My wishful thinking.













The other handsome F4.Lee Min Ho as Goo Joon Pyo


Kim Bum as So Yi Jung

Kim Joon as Song Woo Bin
The gorgeous actresses. The more you see them, the more you want to look like them. haha.Main actress: Koo Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di. She was ranked #1 Most Wanted to Look Like After Plastic Surgery in a recent poll.



Lee Min Jung as Ha Jae Kyung. I think she is the prettiest in Boys Before Flowers. I love her facial features.


Kim So Eun as Chu Ga Eul. She is so sweet!



Kim Hyun Joo as Goo Joon Hee. Spells ELEGANCE.

Park Soo Jin as Cha Eun Jae

Lee Si Young as Oh Min Ji. She admitted going through plastic surgery, I saw her before plastic surgery photos, omg, she looked horrible! She is really pretty now, epecially in We Got Married.

Korea's Barbie Doll. Han Chae Young as Min Seo Hyun. Her boobs are like C or D. Her figure is perfect.

Gook Ji Yun as Choi Jin Hee / Ginger . I want that "xiao yan" underneath the eyes, why do korean girls have them?

Jang Ja Yun as Park Sun Ja / Sunny. If you have read the Strait Times recently, this actress just committed suicide, so I wonder who will replace this character. She comitted suicide because she was in depression, rumours stated that she was forced to have sex with her manager for fame. Many korean actresses and singers have comitted suicide, due to anti-fans, they are also unsatisfied with their looks and alot more relating to the entertainment industry.

Somehow korean dramas are totally different from Mediacorp dramas, there are hidden meanings behind the story that the korean actors are portraying, there isn't a need for them to tell you what they are trying to do.
It hurts even more if you can't tell somebody how you actually feel.
Singapore dramas - Straightforward direct actions and words that you can understand right at the spot, I watch these shows for fun, sometimes the shows are rather stupid, but I still watch with my family.
They filmed a few months before the launch of the drama.
Korean dramas - Indirect or hidden actions to express their feelings, keeps you thinking how the characters feel. That confusion, that pain, I can feel it.
Boys Before Flowers is broadcasted every monday and tuesday, hence from wednesday to sunday, the actors will be rushing through to film for the next episode that will be broadcasted on the following monday and tuesday.
Every episode of the korean dramas are filmed 1 episode earlier. They need money earned by the previous episodes to film the next episode and also the actors can improve their acting skills by reading in forums and join talk shows to promote their drama.
The bad thing? If one of the lead actress gets hurt, they have to postpone the episode. Some other korean dramas didn't even complete all the episodes because the lead actor met up with a car accident on the 3rd episode, hence unable to act anymore. That drama just ended at the 3rd episode. Tsk tsk...
Hongkong dramas are good too, I love shows that forced you to think why the character is doing this for himself or to other people.
I love Kim Hyung Joong
and
Isaac too =))
Btw, Boys Before Flowers has many beautiful OST songs, but there is 1 particular song that I really love, I have added it into my playlist. Really sorry that this additional song screws up the whole genre of my playlist, but I will take it down soon and update with new latest hit songs from the radio! =)) I love the guitar strumming of this korean song, I am sure you will like it too, it is a sad song, don't get too emotional ~ haha

Canon EOS 450D
My 21st birthday present from my parents, a SLR for me.
It was a surprise hearing from my father that he wanted to buy a SLR for me. I have blogged about it before saying that I wanted to buy a SLR for my shop and myself. I didn't expect my parents buying it for me first.
I am going to attend a 2 hours canon product training at the end of march and also I can't wait for Jude to impart his photography skills to me. He is using a Canon 30D, a pro SLR, he said that he can lend me his "pro" lenses since I am using a Canon SLR too.
My father has read alot of online reviews and follow the forums about SLR and lenses hence beside having EF18-55 lens, he also purchased EF 50F1.8II, I think the latter lens is better, I took some pictures with the different lenses and notice the quality of the pictures and the focus is much better with 50F1.8II.
My Canon EOS 450D sleeping in the dry box, humidty level should be kept between 40-50.


Very light and compact. Luckily I didn't buy Nikon or Sony, they are heavy...




Complimentary gifts from Canon during the IT show. Isaac was at Sim Lim at that time hence I asked him to check the price and the goodies for me. Here is the comparison.
Sim Lim
$1080
1 Battery
1 4gb Memory Card
1 Bag
1 Tripod
IT Show
$1299
1 Canon photo printer worth $179
2 8Gb Memory Card
2 Batteries
1 Bag with more lens compartments.
1 Tripod
1 Cleaning Kit
1 Display Calibrator
1 LCD protector
1 Tripod
2 complementary EOS 450D magazines about the camera and lenses.
Photo printer. Woo hoo! I can print the shop photos next time to be displayed at the flea market or bazaar. I need some printed photos of me and Isaac too. I am going to try printing the photos on some free photo paper soon and frame it up with a black frame, classic!

I better not read too much of these magazine or else I might keep "zenging" my camera which means spend more money...





Display Calibrator


Cleaning Kit


2 Memory Cards

2 Batteries

1 versatile tripod, I think this wil be frequently used by Private Investigators. I will be using my father's standing tripod instead.

Jude! Remember to impart your photography skills to me! haha, I will definitely not steal your job, I am using your skills for my shop and also when I go for my family holiday every year. Anyway you said that you will be my wedding photographer for free, can you also be my 21st birthday photographer for free too? It will be the best birthday present for me. haha

Moving on is not equal to having a rebound relationships
Moving on is not equal to having a rebound relationship. This is what I think.
http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Lifestyle/Story/STIStory_346705.html
ONCE-HOT celebrity couple Glenn Ong and Jamie Yeo, who split recently, have moved on, The New Paper reported on Friday.
At an Adidas event last week, Yeo, 31, was spotted holding hands with her new beau, 34-year-old Englishman Thorsten Nolte. Yeo said they met about three weeks ago - around the same time Ong had announced their split. She referred to Nolte, chief executive officer of a media company, as 'an amazing guy' and dispelled rumours that she was the 'guilty party'.
'Just because I'm the girl who wears make-up and all about town, it's natural to assume that I'm the bad one,' she told TNP. 'People just have to believe me when I say I'm not seeing any from work.' Yeo said, referring to rumours that she was dating PJ Roberts, her co-host of the weekly Nokia Football Crazy Show on ESPN Sports.
Ong, on the other hand, told TNP he is now seeing Class 95 deejay Jean Danker and that they, too, have been 'dating exclusively' for three weeks. He clarified that Danker was not the third party, and that he and Yeo had led mostly separate lives since last April despite still living together.
Speaking about his new love, Ong, 38, declared that unlike his past marriages where 'there's always an element missing', with Danker, 'everything's there', he's happy and that he had never felt this way before.
Returning the compliments, Danker, 31, gushed that Ong is what she had always wanted in a guy and more. Danker had previously dated fellow deejays Don Richmond and Daniel Ong. She told TNP that she had resolved not to date someone in the industry but 'Glenn came along and my resolve weakened', she let on.
Ong and Danker first met when the latter was a 16-year-old Ngee Ann Polytechnic student interning at the radio station, where Ong was a deejay. Danker said it did not cross their minds to go out with each other then but she thinks they were 'meant to get together' now. Ong had previously been married to current Lush 99.5FM deejay Kate Reyes until their divorce in 2003, and he married Yeo, then a Perfect 10 deejay, in December 2004.
Ong told TNP that he had told Yeo the news because 'it's only fair that she's the first to know'. Yeo confirmed that Ong had called her last week and said that they are 'still good friends' and she was 'happy that he's happy'.
For now, Ong and Danker are taking things easy and it's too early to be talking about marriage. Ong said he 'settled too easily and too quickly in the past' and now wants to take things nice and slow because 'it's important to really known someone well'.
After a break up, both parties involved should take a break and reflect on themselves and also on their relationships.
A few months or years alone after a break up will definitely make you a better and mature person as compared to being overly quick to commit to a new partner after having experienced an upsetting breakup.
Use the cooling off period to develop your character, make more friends, widen your social circle and find out more about yourself.
Most of the time in a relationship, after being too tied down, a person may feel that he or she does not know herself. Who am I? What am I?
Honestly, I don't practise what I preach. I got into my second relationship 6 months after my first junior college boyfriend dumped me.
But during that 6 months, I made alot of friends, spend quality time with my bestfriends, find a job, volunteer at a hospice center, got my driving license, went to church frequently and most importantly is that I kept reflecting about life and myself whenever I was in a bus, before I slept and whenever I had nothing to do. That is why my friends said that I think ALOT.
I joined forums and learnt about other people's lives, I heed advices and even solved relationship problems and other related problems for the forumers.
Looking at construction workers when I am sitting in a bus and just wonder about their lives. Looking at couples and just thinking why are they so loving.
When I got together with Isaac, my motto for our relationship is "Renewing Love". Nobody tells me about this but I just found out myself what is the best for a relationship.
However... I realised that after being too busy with studies, tubee, drama shows, I have stopped going to forums, church and yes blogging...
I have blogged lesser.
I blogged almost everyday during the last few years as I love to reflect about what is happening around me and blogged it out to share with everyone.
The more I stopped reflecting, the more I realised I am losing myself.
I need to find myself again.

What happened if you eat ants??
I ate a bread infested with ants.
Unwittingly!
Early in the morning today, I woke up and brushed my teeth but I was still sleepy, I didn't eat my kaya bread immediately because I wanted to sleep a little while longer.
A few minutues later, I groped for my bread with my eyes half-closed.
Usually I take about 2-3 bites to finish my bread.
So my first bite of the kaya bread was a huge one. I ate half of it.
2 seconds later,my mouth started to get itchy, I can feel something crawling out of my mouth and around my cheeks and face. I just flicked off whatever that was moving on my face.
Another 2 seconds later,
my hand which is holding onto the piece of kaya bread started feeling itchy and I felt like as if I was holding onto an ant's nest.
I opened my eyes and screamed .....silently.
No real pictures but these are some exaggerated pictures I found in the net, the ants in my bread are definitely not that big, just small black ants.


WTF! Ants were crawling out of the bread and onto my hands and arms. I threw the bread onto the plate and ran to the kitchen to spit out the half-chewed bread from my mouth.
I swallowed the remaining bread that was stuck onto my teeth and maybe swallowed the corpses of the ants. Rest in peace in my tummy. I'm sorry I didn't know I "was eating you and your brothers"
I went back to check the bread and was utterly disgusted because more ants came to attack the bread, I threw the bread away immediately.
Recalling about what happened in the morning made me shiver with disgust. I can't believe I ate ants. 1 ant is fine, but many ants is not fine at all.
What happened if you eat ants?
I have experimented it and will share with you the results.
Diarrhoea.
I had diarrhoea and used the toilet 3 times.
Moral of the story: Watch what you are eating.
I remembered drinking a cup of milo to find a dead cockroach at the bottom of my cup!!! AH! ahha, but that happened eons ago. haha. It was because I left my milo on the table for awhile. haha, my fault.
2nd moral of the story: Eat your food immediately.
damn...i need to go to the toilet again! shit shit shit!

Destress myself with these funny pictures


I have been facing alot of problems lately, my shop website "crashed", photobucket bandwidth has exceeded, all the pictures were replaced with their fugly blue and white logo, they will activate my photos again on 5th March when they reset the bandwidth.
On wednesday, I paid a blogger to advertise for tubee, then on thursday photobucket bandwidth has exceeded. Many people who are new to my website could not view the pictures at all, they will think that my shop is like a "JOKE" to them.
I can understand why the bandwidth exceeded, because I found out that there are 150 000 clicks on tubee pictures, if so many people click on the pictures or save the pictures, the bandwidth will exceed and photobucket will replace all the pictures with their fugly logo encouraging us to save the situation by purchasing their photobucket pro for unlimited bandwidth.
NO way! I won't buy your photobucket pro at all, there was no warning or whatever until the day when you have decided to replace my pictures with your logo.
My supplier who is just 2 years older than me advised me to set up more than 5 photobucket accounts. I went to research online and check forums and found out that there are some people who are called "hotlinkers" who will purposely keep clicking on your pictures to "crash" your site, so that all your pictures will be "gone". *Hotlinker grins
For 2 days we have been tyring to save the situation by setting up many photobucket accounts, reupload the pictures and relink the html links in tubee.livejournal . I am so stressed because I have midterms next week but I only save 50% of my shop... My shop now doesn't even have a logo, actually there is a logo, .... photobucket logo.
I'm tired...
I'm stressed...
Many problems beside my shop.
Do you like people to read your handphone messages or read your msn chatlogs? Where is the trust and respect? Why intrude into my privacy?
Next week my parents are going on a short trip to Macau, means housework to do. I am planning to study until 10pm everyday in NUS library, so if I reach home at 11pm, I still have clothing to wash, boil water and iron clothes. Hopefully my brother settles his own dinner and hopefully the floor is not too dirty or else I have to mop the whole house =((
