Hazy in Singapore

Due to the forest fires in Sumatra, this tiny red dot has been affected by the haze, pretty bad as compared to the one in 1997. Even though i was only 8 back then, i could really remember how bad it was and how i developed respiratory problems during that time.

Well, I knew the haze spell started as early as last thursday, it only got worst on Monday. Tuesday was my shift's first morning. I was too tired from work and forgot my El Marino Blanc Routine. No significant changes of yet, my skin still feels less oily even though i went out for my smoke break. I got 1 to 2 pimple breakout at the area where my skin touches my helmet, but that's most probably because I have yet to clean my helmet's cushion. But then again, the upper part of the helmet's cushion is not removable i might as well go and buy a new one (since the pay is in. hehehe)

Anyway, on behalf of my Elken team's part, and for the benefit of Singaporeans who have yet heard about El Marino Blanc, I am trying to collate testimonials of this product. That's why i'm also starting to blog regularly to update about what changes have I have experienced so far since taking the El Marino Blanc supplement. ((:

Do you know that El Marino Blanc can also earn you handsome side income? Do you want to know more? Add me up on facebook zuemaleq89@hotmail.sg or whatsapp me at +65 96345444

In the mean time, please take care of your health. Dont bother about the PSI readings on the media. If you think the haze is bad, THEN IT IS BAD so stay home, and put on masks if you MUST go out. I am thankful my coy provides N95 and makes wearing the mask COMPULSORY when stepping outdoors. The perks of working in an oil & gas MNC, the staff welfare pretty much well taken care of (which, IMO, happens at times like these though.)

El Marino Blanc by Elken: Day 5

My stress levels have been increasing exponentially of late, and it just got worst after I felt that my online shop seems to be failing.

What do i do when I'm stressed? I scratch my face and pinch on whatever lumps i have on my face. It has been quite sometime since i last did what i did unconsciously, but this is enough to waste my El Marino "documentary".

The pic collage is a photo before i first consume El Marino. See how my skin is sooo uneven and has that... idk what you call it, acne? i just know that the "acne" is soo stubborn it hasn't gone away, i cant even pinch it out! ouh and i also have that tiny pores that is resulted from acne scars. 5 days on, the only difference is that my face is now significantly LESS oily and some of my stubborn acne is gone! When i say significantly, it is tried tested and proven! On friday and saturday, i went out with a bare naked face (just a dab of tea tree oil by Thursday Plantation and Acnes' moisturising cream, then top it off with baby powder). Usually, about one hour after i left home, my face, especially my t-zone area will get extremely oily. But in both days when i went out, my face didn't get sooo oily!

It came to a point where i was sooo obsessed with touching my nose because it feels so good to have a not oily face. My face looks just like it's glowing from that little bit of shine on my face.

No pictures yet (because i really hate taking pictures!), but i'm sure i will not be camera shy anymore once i got my dream skin!

So whilst i consume 2 satchets of El marino in the morning and 2 at night, i still keep to my facial cleansing and maintenance routine.

What i use:

• Jericho's acne soap bar
• Jericho's facial scrub (with chamomile to moisturize your skin)
• Thursday's plantation Tea tree Oil (as a so called "antiseptic" for my acne, it works but it's very slow)
• Acnes' moisturising cream
• Twice a week i still keep to my Jericho's dead sea mud mask. Doesn't help much to reduce the oil on my skin though.

So...yeah! Stay tuned for further updates on El Marino alright?

next entry may probably be on June 2013 bellabox. This month's bellabox is awesome!!! Can't wait to blog about it. Till then, much love...

My experience with El Marino Blanc

I have confidence issues. I have issues with myself, the way i look, the flawed skin that i have. Whilst people my age are having flawless skin with few breakouts, i have breakouts all the time, my oily skin irks me the most, and cosmetics are the worst investment ever because we just don't have any affinity to each other.

Until recently, in my quest to source for extra income, i came across EL MARINO BLANC by Elken. Without any question, yes i am a member of Elken. I previously turned down most offers from my friends to join them in the MLM industry mainly because I really didn't like talking or promoting items to people and the investment sum isn't cheap to start with.

But with ELKEN, nothing is impossible. The membership fee is worth cheaper than one week's worth of your breakfast, lunch and dinner!

So what is El Marino Blanc?
in the catalogue it claims to give you a smoother, fairer and radiant skin. It is also clinically proven to provide protection against UV rays.

Isn't it awesome? So that means you don't really have to put on sunblock when going out!

friends who are close to me knows how many types of product i've tried to improve my skin condition but NOTHING WORKS. I had intended to blog on few of the products that i've tried for several months but all just went to waste as it only helped me cleanse my facial skin after a long hard day at work and also battling against the dirty air on the ride to work and home.

El Marino Blanc works! After 1 day of consumption(first consumption was on 12th june), my skin became less oily! I knew this for sure because i will usually have to wash my face with tap water and wipe it a few times when i'm at work. But on 13th june i can count the number of times i need to wash my face!!! That amazing!

stay tuned for more updates regarding my journey with El Marino Blanc. If you would like to try this product out, please feel free to drop me a comment on my blog and i will try get back to you as soon as possible.

Signing off,
Happy girl. ((:

Mirrors

Some people should really take a long damn look at their own reflection in the mirror before going around telling stories that aren't even half true. What's up with the double standards? Just because one is close with another doesn't mean there's chemistry going on between the two.

Before you go around spreading news of what two different individuals are doing, perhaps you should use your godamn mouth and ask instead of passing judgment to others.

The thing about working in a dominant Malay environment is that there will be these males whose mouth is much worse than a gossip female. What is said by one person may not be the same when the news get passed down by one itchy buttmouth to the other.

AND THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH I SWEAR I WANT TO SLIT YOUR FUCKING THROAT.

and for fucks sake please give your colleagues fucking privacy and don't peek into other's phones when you're sitting beside them. YOU PEEPING INTO MY PHONE WHEN YOU'RE SITTING NEXT TO ME DOESN'T EQUATE TO YOU KNOWING THE FULL FUCKING STORY!!!

yesterday was just about the time i backlashed at someone for peeping into my mobile phone. seriously bro? WHADDUP?

You have no fucking idea what i know about what you do during your off days. hah~ moral of the story: don't pretend you know so much about someone because that someone may know something that will be the downfall of you.

Getting to Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre

Okay someone asked me how to get to Masjid Ammar and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre (phew~ the name is sooooooo long it took me quite some time to refer to it's actual name and type it down). Also, judging from the keyword searches that led to my blog, I shall make a fast post on how to get to your next halal-food-MUST-GO-destination in Hong Kong.

because honestly, it was hard to find it because at some points, the streets totally didn't have any signs!

from Wan Chai MTR exit at A3, STAY ON JOHNSTON ROAD! Our mistake was we crossed over and went onto Wan Chai Road (the first thing when I saw the sign "Wan Chai Road" to be precise), got lost immediately after we found Mallory Street. That was when we walked aimlessly and ended up right outside Morrison Hill Swimming pool, and was just lucky we found the Oi Kwan Road Signboard.

So anyway, just walk on Johnston Road till you see Mallory Street or Burrows street (personally I'll prefer Mallory Street). You'll pass by 1 street on your left, walk further on and cross at the second street that you saw on your right. Cross that street and walk INTO the street (you'll see Oi Kwan Road Sign on your left), then turn right, that's where the Mosque is located.

If you search on Google Maps this is what exactly they will regurgitate out for you, even ask you to take the public transport. But it's worth the walk as you get to see the hustle and bustle of Wan Chai and the old delapidated buildings there. I honestly feel that this directions provided by Google maps is a tad bit far to walk (note that it takes a different exit), and there's too many street names for one to remember. 

Well I hope this piece of information helps! Happy eating fellow travellers finding halal dim sum in HK!

lotsa love,

zue.

Stanley, Hong Kong.

Stanley, Hong Kong.

I just want to be here and clear my mind, all over again. By far the bestest, calming place I have ever been to in Hong Kong.

And how I wished that I could fly here for a day and get my wedding photoshoot done. It's truly a wonderful place. Clean air, cool breeze, breathtaking scenery. Really, really therapeutic. But there wasn't any halal food here. Sucks much.

Austin Tan the A level "intelligent" brat insults ITE students

The thing about the sharing feature on facebook is that, sometimes a post from donkey months back tend to get shared and again go viral on the social media. Just suddenly today, posts on Austin Tan, the so-called A level student who looked down on ITE students, came up on Facebook, thus setting the viral trend again.

so who is this Austin Tan? this came up in Facebook today...

Austin Tan, the "educated" A level student who acts like a total retard

Well, his comments FURIATES me. Yes, it furiates me even though I am not from the ITE. I spent 4 years in secondary school, got into the top express class in secondary 3 and 4, went to Millennia Institute for the 3 months course, passed my O levels, qualified for a place in Junior College, but went to polytechnic instead.

Why did I choose to go to polytechnic even though i qualify to go to a JC? because i thought going to JC makes one stressed up and end up being a total retard, like Austin Tan. I also find that people from JCs are much more arrogant as compared to those in ITEs and Polytechnics. It's like having good grades makes one a much better person. but noooooo. Seriously, is this what they are nurturing in good schools? Are these the type of people that Singapore wants to have?

People must realize now that a high IQ isn't proportional to High EQ. You've got to have a bit of both. What's the purpose of good grades but not being able to communicate with other people in a nice way where you can gain respect from?

If he was a boss, I would bet on you that I'll have high blood pressure and I will hyperventilate from all his bitchiness.

How old is he, seriously? I wonder if he has even served NS. A guy like him will be the main target of bully and abuse from his bunkmates. Talk so much, act so little. Arrogant.

Anyway, an A level cert is useless if one doesn't make it into a university. I know alot of people who didn't make the mark for their A level examinations (be it in a Junior College or in Millennia Institute), and who ended up going to a polytechnic, thus wasting 2 to 3 years of their time, only to repeat the school routines again whilst their other JC friends in the same batch as them are pursuing their degrees.

I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in February 2009. The economy was a pain in the butt and I couldn't get a suitable job for myself in the relevant industry that i studied. I worked as a delivery rider with Pizza Hut, also at Singapore Polytechnic. I dedicated myself to Pizza Hut for that few months whilst still scouting for a better full time job. Am i grumbling? No. It's perfectly okay to find work experience in other industries. In this case, I've dealt with difficult customers, heavy peak hour dine-in customers, and it also taught me to interact well with my other colleagues and managers so that the deliveries goes smoothly even when orders are flooding especially on month ends when most people get they paycheck.

Well the point is, after I graduated with a diploma, some of my friends from Junior Colleges just started their first year in polytechnic, pursuing their diploma. Few years after I graduated and got myself a very stable job, some of my male friends who were from Junior College just started their first year. Imagine how much time they wasted? How much income they would have earned from themselves if they had gone through just the polytechnic route. Some people aren't really destined for JCs. The workload, the stress. But i am not implying that polytechnic is completely stress free either. And i am not implying that ITE is the end for people who can neither make it to a JC nor Polytechnic. In my opinion, the ITE is the BEST place for people who are not theoretically inclined but learns fast from hands-on.

Do A level students learn hands on? not much. Does A level students learn how to operate complex mechanism? No. Does A level student go through internship to enhance their knowledge so that they can relate to their studies? No.

I don't see how an A level student can be sooo much superior than one from ITE. in fact, in certain industries, an ITE graduate can earn so much more than a degree holder who is just an office worker. i know of alot of ITE graduates who earn more than $3k BASIC salary, and they're of my age. when i say BASIC salary, that is EXCLUDING 100+ hours of OT. In all honesty, i think my colleagues (and I) can clock in more than 100 hours of overtime per month. And we still get our days off! Shame on you Austin Tan for making such brainless remark. I wonder where did that 100+ hours come from? Are you implying that all ITE graduates work at MacDonalds after they complete school?

i think he's the joke, not the ITE students, not people who work at MacDonalds.

Sometimes it's really not what's in a certificate. It's your ability and willingness to work, learn, take on new challenges, face the challenges with an open mind, yet keeping your cool towards you colleagues and not being a ball licker. That's where the EQ comes to play. Even if you're an intelligent bastard who can do things quickly and can settle things fast, if you're an asshole, you'll still be an asshole to everyones eyes. If you resigned from your previous company with a bad reputation, chances are people will not be willing to employ you if you are looking for jobs within the same industry. The network in which your bosses have is just too wide and unpredictable.

Well to Austin Tan, GOOD LUCK HOR. I am suspecting that he is silently targeting the MALAYS.  but hey, NOT ALL MALAYS ARE STUPID OKAY. even society's thrash can make it big in life if they know what to do to make a change in their lives for the better.

so bitch please, stop stereotyping.
