The Gal – Nicole

First of all, very big thanks to Derrick Koh, Lenovo, whom has kindly lent me a set of the Ideapad U110 for me to review some time before the exams started, and is understanding in letting yours truly to blog about it after her exams.

Its nice to have a light and nifty device to seat in the bag, and easy to lug around… And for once, I never felt that it was a chore carrying laptops out (because my own laptop weights in at about 1.9 kg – with adapter)…

As usual, I shall spare you the specs, as its all found here. Because I have better things to rave and talk about this product, than just lump all the specs for you

I fess up! I like the design and the color of this unit. Am sure it appeals to many ladies. Of course, not forgetting the men, there is a black color variant of this product as well.

Another variant would be the black coloured U110. Check out the pict!

Decided to get a snip to my hair today at Marina Square… *Siao ah, so short hair still want to cut shorter* I just had to do something about the fringe, it got a little out of control during my mugging period. And I so wanted to try something different to my hair again…

This is the before look…

and 30 mins later…

*cough* I know I look a little weird. *cough*

Was pretty pleased with the style my hair stylist did for me with Hair Clay, and I think it would be nice for me to style up a little

A quick lunch and off I went shopping for Xmas presents for my mum, sister and him. This is so gonna be fun. Manage to get what I wanted for them… and here is my loot from the shopping trip…

Apart from the Nivea Body Spray and the Hair Clay that I got from Watsons, the rest of my loot comes from MPH. Ok, I spend the rest of my MPH Vouchers. Quite happy with my purchases Oh, and two of the books is not meant for me. Guess which book is intended for?

And oh, just for all the Sesame Street fans…

By the time you are reading this, I have already completed my last paper in the freezing exam hall at the Sports and Recreation Center in NTU, and am currently traveling home to rest, and out for a movie event with some darlings in the evening. *wink*

Freedom! Well at least, for me, the exams are over. To all whom are still having exams, all the best!

I shall see if I can get myself a new hairstyle since I am not very happy with the sloppy fringe of mine. (Gonna get that done on Wed @ 1130 am in City Area). w00t!

In the meantime, since exams are over, I shall flood this blog with loads and loads of stuff, and it will be nice to spend some time with my friends, family, and my plus one also… LOL!

I guess that’s all I have for now.

Cheers,
Nicole

Tomorrow is the last paper for the semester. Oh I feel so glad about it.

3 papers down, 1 more to go.

All I need is a miracle for this last paper. Not confident.

Wish me luck.

Being a kid born in the mid-eighties, I missed out on the colourful past that Singapore has. But this time around, I shall indulge myself on one of her rich and colourful heritage she has to offer.

Many have been talking about the Gmail Themes… and I just realized that a geeky theme has been released… Called… “Terminal”.

This black and green theme kinda unleashed the hidden geek in me for a moment… True to terminal style, the Gmail logo has is done up with symbols. Haha…

I simply like the idea of Gmail Themes. Do you?

神木與瞳 – 為你而活

Hope u all will like this.

I am so going to prove you wrong

Check my dinner out! haha… and it was on plurk too!

My dad made this for dinner today, and that’s to satisfy my sister’s and my cravings for western food.

Instead of the usual deep fried stuff, my dad decided to bake the chicken in our newly bought oven, and test it out with carrots, as well as the tomatoes… The potatoes were cooked to perfection in the microwave oven…

The juicy grilled chicken was accompanied by homemade gravy, which tastes a little tangy and goes very well with the chicken… and oh, there was garlic bread too… (not in the picture though).

Needless to say, its another satisfying dinner. *yum*

Any one want?

Why am I here? Very simple, can’t study. Judging from the amount of ambient noise in my neighbourhood today. 3 malay weddings around my block void decks. It’s a happy occasion, seeing 3 couples tying the knot, and the music are all part and parcel of festivities.

Nothing to complain, but I thought I might as well take the time to rest and relax a bit, and thus I am here. And oh… one more thing, I am a guess blogger at DK’s blog (while he is stuck at reservist)… Hehe… Hopefully I won’t mess up his blog *evil*

I’ve manage to catch the Quantum of Solace, and its also my first time watching movies late at night… Haha… The movie was so-so, not very much to my liking compared to the other James Bond movies. It was great watching it at The Grand Cathay though

Had a few mishaps with fish bones. Been swallowing them down into my own digestive system. Yes, yours truly wasn’t really careful enough. Oh man…

Can’t wait for the exams to end, for there’s so much I have to do… On the cards include sending my namecard for printing, having some fun, going to Marina Barrage Park, wanting to go bowling, and pig out on some good food and drinks… And loads more… haha…

And oh, my mum was very pleased with her birthday celebrations… Unfortunately, I am not allowed to upload the pictures though. :X
