Ain’t this drawing beautiful? My cousin drew it… Pretty much like it, so I decided to take a picture

Honestly, I am going through things I can barely take. You see me strong on the surface, acting tough at times… I don’t want to see worried faces all the time. But you see, I am only human. I really need time off, before I snap at anyone else.

I’m scared. Very scared. Because no one understands how I feel.

I took my cousin out to causeway point today. Since she wanted to go there, I happily oblige. Afterall, its been such a long time since I went out with her…

The damage of the day was a yummy lunch at Pastamania… LOL. I shall let the photos do the talking, and hopefully, don’t get you guys drooling and craving for pasta and piazza…

Our table number… while awaiting for the pizza and pasta to arrive…

We ordered a set meal… and here are the soups… Minestrone soup and Cream of Chicken soup…

First looks at the pasta…

My Tuna Bacon pasta… yummy!~

and… next… the Pizza…

Look at the chunks of pineapple and ham! And the crust were very crispy too!

Finally… the damage…

LOL!

But overall, it was a very pleasant meal. I can’t say more about the food, but the company was fabulous.

Nicole

Phew, I managed to get all the subjects that I wanted in my preferred timeslots! Whoopee! I am pretty thankful for it because it´s always a game of fastest fingers first.

On another note, there are still personal stuff I need to settle on my own.

A little short update on my FYP, aka Final Year Punishment Project… Started my reading on the previous student report, papers, thesis and what not I can find relevant to my project.. and that means, I gotta have multiple dates with… ahem… Mr Google!

I know my workstation setup ain´t complete as yet… but at least, more or less is up and running… hehe… and still getting used to using Ubuntu, because I am too used to Windows. Tsk Tsk.

Lately, I am totally head over heels on fixing this 3d crystal puzzle… and it comes in so many lovely shapes… Well, I am helping my aunt to assemble it… and photos of it is coming soon… stay tuned!

Seems like there´s alot of work cut out for me…

Oh, I am in the midst of getting the recipe for the pumpkin cake, bug me for it!

I had the opportunity to review Diskeeper 2008, thanks to the kind folks of Blog2u.

There you go, the cover of the software… and I might have to add that this review are strictly my opinions about the software, based on what I see, and what I’ve done with it. It will be a long post, so do hang in there and read on…

Before I even started the installation process… there was a little booklet attached…

This little booklet is a quick start guide to get the user started on installation, features of the software etc. It comes printed in 2 languages – English and Chinese. And at the last page of it would be software activation instructions.

Read the rest…

Above is a shot taken with my new camera.

Pumpkin Cake made by my dad. Very yummy… Chokeful of pumpkin with mushrooms and dried shrimps. *Yummy*

Enjoy!

Honestly, sometimes I question the state of my emotional being, the state of my physical self, and how capable is my mental strength. Of late, happenings have left a very deep and negative impact on me, which results my daily rhythm and harmony being upset and broken.

Gosh…

The feeling on the brink of the great depression is something I am desperately trying to avoid.

I need to find my happiness back.

Nicole

Let me show you the camera that I’ve bought.

Yup, I chose the blue color cos I thought it looked really cool and slick compared to the others… The black was nt of glossy finishing, but had matt finishing instead, white results in easy dirt collection, something which I rather dislike about it, and the red is a lovely colour though… which makes my choice quite tough la… (that is all in my humble opinion)

But I still went ahead with the blue one… and loving it every minute…

Very easy to hold, and makes photo taking a breeze… with many Best Shot selection modes… from food, to cam whoring modes, to sceneries, night shots… and even a text mode to take photos of text (!!!)… one can take many lovely one-time take pictures, capturing all that wonderful moments…

The flashlight are quite powerful, often leaving me slightly blinded after some shots… lol~

Started to take photos… and need to practice skills on cam whoring… lol~

Look out for them soon!
