so, just now i went over to my aunt's place. she gave me a vic's secret mini caftan dress her friend bought online.
so here's the story laa.
1) her friend, W, bought two dresses
2) she regretted spending too much
3) so my aunt, being the good soul that she is, offered to buy one of the dresses from W
4)my aunt realises the dress doesnt match if she were to pair it wit jeans
5)she passes the dress to me
the dress:
yes, i knoe. the dress is gorgeous.
BUT.
i don't have it in that colour!
[[ nor do i have the model's boobs. haha ]]
mine's orange with purple embroidery!
i'm very stressed now.
i love it but hate the colour.
why laaa my aunt's friend choose that colour combi? haha.
<3
the super BORING entry.
this will be QUITE a scientific entry. so if ur not intereted, i understand. haha.
so, everytime i sneeze today (estimated value of 5 million sneezes, and still counting...)
i get this sharp pain in the left side of my lower abdomen. and when im not sneezing, the pain's there but not too bad.
why i always have this kinda problem one?
[[ flashback: i went for a gastrocopy and colonoscopy some time last year, and they've diagnosed me with IBS and GERD. ]]
ok don't laugh when i tell u what IBS stands for k.
IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
HAHAHAHAHA.
ok.
enough.
eyy, but seriously la, i can have constipation one day and diarrhoea the next. SUCKS k.
oh, and GERD stands for Gastroesophageal reflux disease.
ANYWAYYYYY, they said its nothing too serious. i just have a very sensitive stomach.
cos unlike YOU GUYS, i've got a cardia failure resulting in GERD. wth is cardia u ask?
haha. ok get ready for the scientific part. oh i love bio =D :
The cardia is the anatomical term for the junction orifice of the stomach and the esophagus. At the cardia, the mucosa of the esophagus transitions into gastric mucosa.
so u all knoe our stomachs generate gastric juice to digest our food right? yes, u SHOULD knoe. haha.
The inner lining of the stomach has several mechanisms to resist the effect of gastric juice on itself, but the mucosa of the esophagus does not.
The esophagus is normally protected from these acids by a one-way valve mechanism at its junction with the stomach.
This one-way valve is called the esophageal sphincter (ES), and prevents gastric juice from flowing back into the esophagus.
BECAUSE i have cardia failure, that damn valve is loose. so my gastric juices always travel back (back-flow) into my esophagus causing "burning and inflammation of sensitive esophageal tissue".
in short, i always get heartburn. haha.
anyway, yes, its nothing too serious. i just have to constantly take medication.
and avoid spicy food, tea, coffee, anything caffeinated and nuts, i think. aiyah. dunno la.
but u tell me, how to avoid spicy food? i LOVE spicy food. how can i sacrifice TOM YAM? and my fave drink is TEA. any kinda tea.
so i've been naughty. havent been taking my medication. and i've been eating spicy food and drinking tea.
and usuallie ive gotten used to the stomach pains i'll get. but the left part of my abdomen reallie hurts =(
i've been researching but abdominal pains while sneezing + GERD/IBS?
has got NO LINK to each other whatsoever.
haha.
but in general,
people with abdominal problems, will usually experience pain while sneezing.
and presence of a fever indicates inflammation.
aiyahhhhhhh. headache already. dun wanna do any more research.
im just hoping its nothing serious.
<3
just keep swimming ;)
get funky. don't.
hey nen, this is what i found out from a forum of whether The Strangers is based on a real murder:
Question --> Are the killings of Kristen McKay and Jason Hoyt true?
reply #1:
After searching the web for about an hour and reading numerous articles I have found them to not be true. The movie is based on other murders. Some say the Keddie murders some say the manson family murders. The director was said to have thought it up after recalling an incident that happened to him when he was a young boy. While some of the events in the movie may have merit to them the names are fictional. Hope this helps!
reply #2:
No.......but, they were inspired by an event in Bryan Bertino’s (writer and director of The Strangers) childhood and by the Charles Manson murders.
AND on wiki, it says:
The movie is inspired by an event from director Bryan Bertino's childhood: a stranger came to his home asking for a person and he would later find out that empty homes in the neighborhood had been burglarized.With that memory in mind, Bertino created this screenplay.
Though the plot of The Strangers is entirely fictional, the film opens with the following narration:
"What you are about to see is inspired by true events. According to the F.B.I. there are an estimated 1.4 million violent crimes in America each year. On the night of February 11, 2005 Kristen McKay and James Hoyt went to a friend's wedding reception and then returned to the Hoyt family's summer home. The brutal events that took place there are still not entirely known."
haiyahhhh. so i got super stressed over nothing.
this post makes me miss doing projects. haha.
<3
just came back from my aunt's place. i love my silly family =D i feel so loved with them around. and my aunt and unc who's visiting from LA, told me its possible there's a plan to bring me there in December. cos its the xmas season and it'll be BEAUTIFUL.

afterward we went to watch hancock at vivo. first of all, we sat in the third row from the front. i needed my puke bag when they were showing advertisements =S
so anyway, the only reason i would even mention that the movie's good, is only cos of will smith. seriousllllyyyy. the first half was really funny, and den it just got too messy and nonsensical.

sham brought me to the zoo yesterday. oh yes, we've already established that.
so here are the highlights of our trip =D
first animals we saw were the otters! so cute right? they were all sleeping when we reached.
how gorgeous is this cat???? i nearly cried when i saw it. cos it was so massive and BEAUTIFUL. it kept walkin and posing for us visitors, like stopping to look in our direction. or maybe it was just hungry. haha.
this tortoise kept swimming towards us as we were taking pictures of mr croc. so, we had to give him credit for tryna get attention. haha.
there's mr crocodile for you. btw, the crocodile exhibit is adopted by Crocs. how cute is that? haha.
this is the squirrel monkey. its super super cute ok! its like, the size of a kitten! i guess thats why its called a squirrel monkey.
meet Carlos! oh he's sucha sweetheart. we watched his show at the splash safari. AWESOME show ok. super entertaining.
and yes! i got a wet fishy kiss from him!!! im totally in love with Carlos. *sigh*
den we went to see the kangaroos. they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo adorableeeeeeeeee!!!!!
and also the kangaroo keepers were the friendliest. =) feeding the roos was 5buckeroos. buckeROOS geddit? heh heh. =P so anyway, cos we didnt have small change and they couldnt provide us change, the keeper was like "alaa $4, gedebak gedebuk can already la"
haha. ok lor. thank you!

haha. ok, no. it was just walkin away. this pic no zooming one okaaayy. there was a glass panel seprating us from cheetah. its so beautiful! cats are just beautiful laaa!
we didnt get to capture a clear pic of the cheetah. but check out the footprints! i forced sham to take a pic of the footprints. he insists its nothing much to look at. but i think that its SO cuuute! =D
and this fella..has only one horn.. so the keepers put him in the rhino exhibit. aiyoh. they should classify animals better next time huh? haha.
oh yaa. we rode on the elephant. and this pic was taken when we were on the elephant. and noo, we werent on the elephant that was peeing(refer to previous entry). that elephant who peed btw, puked 1 min later u knoeee! so kesian right! after it puked, it sorta made a funny trumpeting sound, in a grouchy kinda way and snapped a tree branch off a tree.
and ate it.
