The Gal – Nicole

I have too many pictures to upload, and too much to write… but I will get down to it soon…

I have been spending many days and a few nights out with him and friends. Needless to say, it has been many “firsts” for me… like going home duper late… say reaching home at 4 am?! (well, my mum is ok about it as long as someone who drives send me back home).

Other firsts includes walking down Orchard road at about 1 am, in the wee hours… where cabs even stop at the road for you, even if you are just taking a stroll down the streets… Sipping coffee in the middle of the night… Supper at Swensen’s… and playing UNO there somemore… (ok, I shudder in horror, I need to diet!)

But it was good fun~ and yes, it was my first and it won’t be the last, but can’t do it too often… the toil on one’s health can be quite hard to take though. =X

For now, I shall be looking forward to Christmas Dinner that my dad is cooking!

Nicole

Christmas has never been so lovely.

Thank you to all my friends, for the lovely atmosphere during the Christmas gatherings, for it has never been this good.

Today is Christmas Eve. I won’t be celebrating Christmas in Orchard, nor Suntec, or by the Marina Bay… Because I am quite tired of jostling with people. I just want a quiet Christmas this year.

And this is my first time wearing a dress and a pair of heels. =X

Wishing ALL my friends and readers a blessed Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Nicole

Well, Singapore don’t experience winter. Rain is the substitute then. So Rainy Wonderland?

Haha. Merry Christmas to you

Nicole

Whirlwind of festivities.

2 days to Christmas. It also meant, 2 days to crunch time again after Christmas.

I permitted a break, but this break is satisfying to people around me, and not myself. I think I lost myself. I try to please as many people as I can. But the truth is that I can’t…

For once I am caught in a situation of not being able to spell out my feelings. The thing is that if I do, I make people around me upset. What’s the point then? I rather keep it within myself, at least it hurts less. It hurt only me, and no one else.

I think its time to drown myself in work again. New Year’s Eve will be spent working, if I have nothing on then.

Nicole

Bliss. Rinaz and Cart, Happy Marriage. Feel so happy for the both of you.

Was up early this morning at about 8.45 am, and kept my hands full with food preparation for pot luck later. While dad is still the head-chef, I have to do my bit, by peeling prawns, sweet potatoes, potatoes etc… and all the little odds and ends (including buying flour)

Spoke to my mum about getting my friends to the house for makan session some day in 2009. 30 odd people, now that is a lot to feed. But it is still impossible to squeeze this many people into the house la… Rui spoke of using the void deck, but erm… lol! Its possible that it will be held after the Lunar New Year in 2009. More details will be made available.

4 days to go for Christmas. I am so feeling the mood of holiday. Reviews and Pictures coming, but in the meantime, more fun, joy and laughter.

Nicole

5 days to Christmas.

Feeling the onset of piggying out and laughing too much. But well, Christmas has made its presence felt. Will not be blogging too much methinks, till Christmas is over, to say the least… If time permits, I will squeeze in a post or two.

Pot luck, Gift exchange, a quiet dinner or so is on the cards. I have never felt so busy! Oh dear!

It will be nice to know that certain aspects of my life has been settled, and time to move on to my studies, fyp, and job hunting!!

Nicole

Hear Ye! Christmas is coming. Have you done your Christmas shopping yet? 7 days to Christmas, and boy, I am excited. =X

I did… Manage to hunt them all down, and I guess I ought to start wrapping them as well Guess my entries will be irregular right up to Christmas day… because of gatherings, parties, and cosy get-together with people

I finally got my new lip sticks yesterday too~ I love the colors… Will put up pictures here soon. In the meantime, apart from Christmas, FYP, studies, job hunting are all coming in at once too… We’ll see how it goes…

Some things are still under wraps for now, and more content will be revealed in time… Stay tuned!

Nicole

10 days left to Christmas. 5 days left to start of total mayhem of feasting and greetings for the festive season. And 5 days to Rinaz and CartCart’s wedding.

My ankle’s totally better than ever, just that I got to be careful not to catch my ankle in a sand ditch again…

Having a good time catching my project, working slow and steady methinks… Gotta start speeding up my progress

Nicole

Its a lazy Sunday for me… am made to stay home because of this…

Yeah, it was an unfortunate accident. Nothing major, just that I am to have bed rest on a cold rainy Sunday… so I decided to snuggle in bed with a good book that I just bought.

But my mood was cheered up by the book and home cooked food.

When I first learnt that National Geographic is going to open a retail store in Singapore, it feels really great, for I’ve been a fan of National Geographic, devouring their magazines and pictures in their monthly issues, covering different places and topics… Now I can finally see them in store at Vivocity.

On 12th December, a group of bloggers and myself were invited to the preview of the National Geographic Store.

Met up with Nadia, and Ridz at Newton Food Center for some bites, and then head towards the meeting point… I was quite excited to see a convoy of SUVs parking there, waiting to take us to the venue itself. woohoo~ *excuse my excitement, but I like cars…*

We posed for a group picture before setting off…

Oh, I had a ride in this very good looking SUV. But I am not going to disclose here. Click to read more!!
