The Gal – Nicole

Hopefully this didn’t scare you

Have a wonderful Tuesday.

** Body Worlds Exhibition is still on-going! Do take some time to catch the display.

It has been an emotional rollercoaster ride, and it didn’t help that I mess things up, and got totally mad at myself. But I’ve since come to terms with it, and no point sitting down and moping about it, for I have more tasks at hand to see to.

Honestly, the emotional fatigue ain’t easy to recover, but I am quite thankful to be surrounded by friends whom helped me back to my feet, and listened to my whines and rants. Thank you so much.

I know the road ahead won’t be smooth, but I also know I am capable of walking this road, where I can’t, He can.

PS: I know I haven’t been writing much. But my schedule are looking to permit me to write, especially with CNY coming

2nd month of 2010 has arrived. Ok, what did I do in Jan? Sometimes, things passes me by in a flash of light. And oh, the Lunar New Year is arriving. And so is Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day – Not celebrating it this year, as the bf is not around.
Lunar New Year – Usual stuff I guess…

I would rather stay home and rest though. To ponder at my cross roads.

In love with the 7D but I guess my infatuation with a DSLR has to wait. Broke from paying all the loans (am still paying).

Tried my hands at the Canon 500D, as well as the Canon 50D. Picts and write ups on the way!

Oh yes, quite sometime ago, I was invited to attend the Body Worlds: The Original & The Cycle of Life exhibition that’s currently held at the Science Center. It’s my first visit, and boy, it was an eye-opening trip, at least to me.

The Body Worlds exhibition is strictly no photography, but I was granted permission by the Science Center to take photos of it, so that you can view the pictures on my article.

The BodyWorlds exhibition is still on till March 2010! (Not very sure about the exact date when it closes). Admission is at 20 dollars per adult.

I will tell you more about the embalming process soon! (Stay tuned!)

Thanks to Science Center for the photography permission and Jiayi from Band PR for making this trip possible.

PS: This took duper late. My bad.

P.PS: Snuck this post in whilst on a Sunday morning.

Food has always played a major role in my life, and its hardly surprising, thanks to mum and dad whom can cook Though dad cooks better. Oops.

Doesn’t help that the bf is a foodie as well, taking me to places to spoil my tastebuds, and me, trying to find new places to bring him to…

On the top of my list would be Standing Sushi Bar, where he has to make a trip with me next time when he comes back… oh and The Garden Slug (I shall try it first)

My world is currently a mad world. An influx of projects just came in. I can’t complain, for it’s what will bring the dough.

January is almost over. My, that’s like one month into year 2010.

This year, I made no resolution, because I knew it would be broken anyway. But what I did was to tell myself, to rest and pace myself out better.

So far, things that have happened to me are beyond my expectations, like being able to keep a pet fish in my office, and you have no idea, how much I love the little fish, because she is of significant meaning to me. Her spirit is strong, and her will to live is so strong that she overcame odds to survive itch, a white spot like illness that most fishes may not be strong enough to recover.

I feel very thankful to be meeting up with my sec/poly friends, and spend time with friends and people around me as well.

Loads of photos to process, and words to churn out, and I know I will get it done, because I am doing what I can

Have a blessed Sunday!

The Lunar New Year is around the corner, and while we are all having new things to usher in the new year, let us not forget the less fortunate that needs our help. I am writing in support of The Redbox Project, which was started by a team of NTU students as their FYP.

It doesn’t take a lot to help these children, which is the aim of The Redbox Project to make a smile on their faces.

In 4 steps, you can make the difference.

Apart from donating gifts, volunteers are also needed to distribute the presents on Feb 6 2010.

For more information, visit The Redbox Project website, as they have guidelines on what one can give to these children.

PS: Thanks Jacelyn for the heads up on this project!

It’s a Terrifying Tuesday, and indeed, it started really awful.

A cockroach in the toilet when I am about to shower, and it did scare the hell out of me. I can’t see very well without glasses, so it appeared as a brown crawling insect to me.

Wanted to scream, but too early, lest I wake all my neighbors up. So… I took the water hose and hosed it down the drainage. :X
