The Gal – Nicole

Honestly, I never felt so much freedom ever since start of 2008.

Started my internship for the first half of the year. From jan – June 2008, this is the happiest and satisfying semester of my entire duration so far in university. Not to say studying sucks, but it is a welcome break from the monotony of studying.

I learnt about things that school books do not teach, classes that impart skills, but not the people interaction skills. Not only I’ve gained some experience, I also seen for myself how complex working life can be.

A year down the road, I will be joining the workforce too, and this had set me thinking, what do I want, what are my goals? I really would say, I don’t have an answer yet at the moment.

I also wonder if I will be able to go on a short holiday before I start working. Hmm.. ponder ponder…

In the blink of an eye, vacation is almost over, and I have to say, as sad as I am to know its over, I am happy that I manage to spend the vacation job free. A rare luxury. And I truly cherish the time spent.

There are things I should have done, things I shouldn’t have done. But its too late to regret on any. Time has passed. I can only look forward and have a good life. To lead my own life, and have no regrets.

Rise and Shine! Got up at 9 am… and well, basically, I slept way earlier last night… because of slight sniffles… Don’t worry, am alright now.

Reason being for getting up so early? Well, I’ve my nails to fix, adjusting a pair of earrings for myself to wear to a dinner later in the evening. Also to do some household chores as well. If idea strikes, then I shall make something. lol.

I am glad I manage to spend time bringing my mum and my sister down to the Singapore Garden Festival. They missed the previous one, and I am determined not to let them miss this one as well. Overall, I am glad that they too, like the exhibits as much as I did. Not to mentioned them pigging out on the porridge buffet.

Seems like I’ve been blogging more than usual, but I still enjoy writing anyway.

Updates later!

Everyone makes mistakes, even yours truly is not spared. Sometimes I realized it, sometimes I do not. I know I am not perfect. Imperfect in many many ways. But its ok, I am only human.

I should stop holding on. But move on damn it. Damn it!

As I move on in life, I should reflect, repent, and live life to its fullest, as what was intended to be.

Have a good visual feast!

I will do up a proper entry on the photos when I have rested enough. Kinda need to rest a bit. My eyes dizzy from all that whirl of colours.

Thanks Nelson for the tip of putting it as a slideshow, so that it will not burden the loading of the website.

However, I will still do a proper writeup on this. Be patient The writeup will be done soon.

In the meantime, enjoy.

Sorry to keep you all waiting on posts on the Singapore Garden Festival (SGF)… I have so many photos to look through and sort them through, so be quite prepared for a few posts on the SGF.

In the meantime, let me just sit back, relax and think of lovely things to write.

It’s amazing how I manage to get this site up to Wordpress 2.6 with a lot of help, and I am sure many have read my woes on Plurk.

I still heart Wordpress, despite my upgrade woes.

Oh yes, my pictures turn out well, save for some blurred ones Uploading in progress, so be a lil more patient ya?! 2008 festival is better than the previous year that I went. Can’t wait for 2010.

Phew. At least nicole.sg is alive. I’ve still need to get over the initial fright I have… and I really have to ask questions when it comes to upgrading wordpress. Crap.

To be frank, I almost cried.. because I never upgraded my wordpress before. Well thats the lesson for relying on people too much. Nevermind. Lesson learnt. Time to move on.

At least now I have a spanking sweet wordpress version 2.6 installed. Thanks to Nelson and Miccheng for the help rendered, and so do the other plurkers.

Now I can get some sleep, and reward you guys with better posts along the way!

Signing off,
Nicole

I had a lovely day out yesterday, and managed to get my fingers painted by yours truly on Saturday… with a shade of pink that is… But that will disappear by the time 1st August comes about… And oh, I snipped my hair… to restore its former hair style… LOL

Went to enjoy the Hainanese Chicken Rice at Maxwell Food Center. The food was good, but the company was better.

And I finally lay my hands on Hell Girl manga. Joy!

This week will be my last week of vacation. Packed to the brim, but I ain’t complaining.

Here’s a sneak peek of activities:

Tuesday: Bring mum to enjoy porridge buffet, and the Singapore Garden Festival.

Wednesday: Dinner with some friends in the evening.

Thursday: Helping out with preparations for Symbio 2008.

Friday: Symbio 2008.

See? So packed. But no reason to complain. Surrounded by people who care and love me, what more can I ask for?

I can only ask for strength to carry on, for the journey ahead will be long and treacherous.

It was a great evening spent at iShop @ Cineleisure yesterday, with my fellow Blog2u members and blogger friends, playing with the iPhone. Yes, the talk of the town.

Before I carry on, I would like to thank Blog2u for the invitation to the event. I had a lot of fun with my friends at the event, and there’s so many pictures to be talked about… In due credit, I shall talk about the iPhone. Perhaps a second post on the bloggers at the event.

Sit back and relax, for it’s going to be yet another long post. =X

That was what it greeted my sight when I reached the place. Where is the iPhone? Relax… it has yet to make its grand appearance… However something caught my eye… The iPhone skins! Designed by Roger Tan of Shuffle Art, these beautiful skins are set to up the eye candy of the phone….

Read the rest…

Just as I had a great time at the AM Session of the launch, I had an equally fun and relaxing time at the PM Session. It’s held at Geek Terminal.

Here are some of the bloggers that attended the event as well…

The traffic light bloggers… haha cos we are dressing the 3 colours. Rinaz in green, me in yellow, and Jerrick in red.

I got to meet PatLaw and Yin also..

Cheers!

Started to learn Python, a programming language, and I am still a bit boggled at the moment… Think OO concepts, think objects manipulation… Hmm I think I will have loads of fun at it.

Okie, I am off to MPH Bookstores, attempting to buy some books to nourish the brain. Perhaps some python books.

Shall post a pict of my spoils if I have any today.
