Here I am, at LT3, NTU, where the first inaugural PHP Bootcamp Lecture Series is held. Bright and early, and we have quite a bit of people scattered throughout the Lecture Theatre. As programmers, the presence of the laptops are the norm.

This will be a very long post, and pardon me, as I am doing Live Blogging for the first time

**Slides will be uploaded and emailed to the participants of today’s lecture.

Looking for people to go with me… Tix – $12, Free Seating. Victoria Concert Hall. 7.30 pm. March 1st 2008.

Reply me by tonight ok ? I need to confirm tickets with my friend.

Nicole

PS: sms me to confirm ok?

I feel damn lucky because I lost my wallet and found it within the same day, within an hour or 2. Thanks to 2 kind souls who helped. Thanks so much.

Apparently, I don’t know what has gotten to me, causing me to absent mindedly not to put the wallet into my bag…

I din realize it was missing till I was quite far away from the workplace.

It could have been much worse, for what if someone has taken it. =X

Am very thankful it was found, and all contents are intact.

Good morning! Am in office way earlier than usual… 2 days in a row… my bus seem to be traveling faster than usual… Formula B drivers, I call them… Its amazing how they drive and handle the bus… LoL…

They drive like they are in F1 races, well, not as fast as these F1 cars, but faster than normal bus speed… then again you get drivers who drive so super slow (that’s when I get more fed up)…

I take SBS Bus no. 5 to work every weekday, and its usually about close to an hour’s ride, depending on traffic and commuters. Not to mention that this bus is mostly single deck, thus ensuring a seat for the journey is important.

Not that I am complaining, but in fact, I like it. Fast and smooth, I can even enjoy a good sleep without feeling so disturbed… Haha… I don’t mind being early for work, at least I can settle in for the day…

This week has not bode well for me… Facing some tough moments, and pardon me if I am a bit out of sorts.. am sorting them out, and I will be back, this time, the way I like it to be.

Just a pathetic attempt at writing

In no way its related to anyone.

I’m humbled by what I’ve experienced today…
I’m shamed by what I’ve done…
I’m glad that it all happened…
I’m angry at how things turned out…
I’m disappointed at the ending of a show…
I’m upset of why countries are at war…
I’m sad that earth is experiencing global warming…
I’m helpless that no matter what I do, sometimes I can’t make a difference…
I’m in pain for everything dealt to me…
I’m a flop when it comes to emotions
I’m a failure for not putting myself in people’s shoes.
I’m dying to become stronger…
I’m wishing for you to be there…
I’m sorry for everything.

Just trying out writing random thoughts… It does not represent what I really feel in this post.

I had a great day yesterday at DeCoder’s Cafe with the pingsters, and oh, while I am too lazy to write a detailed post about it, do check out the rest of the pingster’s blog! Its in the Ping.sg top 10 at the moment.

Reached there really late, but nonetheless, glad to be able to make it for the event… Feels great to see so many pingsters, the usual ones, as well as other pingsters I’ve not met before

Haha, after the yu-sheng, and a short while later, I left and headed down to Orchard before heading home.

Nicole

Strangely, I overcame this awkwardness,
that’s to cry in front of anyone that I’m close to.
It takes a strong man to cry, I know.

Its like the dykes had been broken,
and that when the tears just flow
That moment of relief, god sent.

For that moment like this,
I wished it last…
for the troubles, never ceased

All that pain, frustration, and all the hurt accumulated inside me…
Just gets released…
It feels really good….for a brief respite…

I once wished to recover the ability to cry,
and I did.
Thank you so much.

Nicole

Yesterday, I was at Millenia Walk, and tried my hand at shooting some shots of the fountain there… Let me know what do you think ok? Haha, I’m still an amateur… so yeah, pardon if my shutter speed and other settings were not that correct…

Valentine’s Day, is really a great day, like what DK mentioned in his post, “How I spend my Valentine’s Day”… Despite my single status, I really had a great time

Dinner could not have been better with a handsome and cute guy, and 2 lovely, pretty ladies. The 4 of us had an enjoyable dinner at Mos Burger, and thanks Alice for the paper heart and nougat! Time well spent indeed. =)

Received 2 bouquets of flowers, a box of dark chocolates and a lovely product from The Body Shop as well… Aww, thank you Very lovely flowers… Gosh… I can’t help but feel so so awfully happy… more than just happy… Am feeling very blessed and lucky.

Thank you, to the divine forces guy above, for giving me such a lovely Valentine’s Day this year.

FYI: the guy above is not referred to DK. Its referred to the divine forces. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Blessed,
Nicole

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Although it’s a day of celebrations, this year is somehow subdued for me, I probably need not explain why… which I will reveal in time to come… But as of now, I would not wish to say things in the moment of rash and anger. Enough said…

It will not be easy for me to accept someone so easily the next time, but sincerity and concern would play a big role as well. I don’t know why somethings just don’t work out, perhaps it wasn’t meant to be…

Sometimes, when I think back, what have I done to deserve such things? Is it because of something what I’ve said or done? Is it totally my fault? These are just a handful of my unanswered questions. It’s too painful to confront them at the moment, and I shall take sometime to heal these wounds.

The wounds ain’t superficial. It runs deep. Only time will tell…

I guess that’s enough talk for the day… Stay tuned to hear about how I celebrated Valentine’s Day.

PS: perhaps its a mistake that I wrote this.
