The Gal – Nicole

Just some photos that were taken at East Coast Park, and yes, lalang!!! The whole stretch just outside Macdonalds that area… and boy, they are so beautiful~

Kinda anticipating going out to do more of such things – to the seaside, tree top walk etc… LOL.

It’s Monday, and my last e-learning week of my 4 year course in NTU. Funnily, it feels like the norm as I go through the paces once again, except this time, juggling more things than I can handle.

The wee hours of the day proved to be helpful, doubling my productivity, which is a good thing. And I am humbled by the profound philosophy that my friend K has… Indeed an eye opening, and at the same time, left me pondering the meaning of life… (Shall leave this to another post)

Despite me sleeping at 3 or 4 am, and waking up at 9 am, I feel quite refreshed, just that the body feels more tired, but otherwise, I feel fine. Guess I exhuasted myself to a point where sleep comes easily. However, I am paying the price of screwing up my body system for now. Argh. Just 1 month more or so…

Ok, I think I’ve written enough for now. Time to hit the work!

Saturday was a day of complete fun and relaxation. It’s been quite a while since I last felt so happy and relaxed… I was convinced to take a complete day of break, and so I gave in, knowing that it is better to allow myself a break or else risk a break down.

To start the day off on a good note, while waiting for Terence to arrive… I went to the get him Kinder Joy… because he mentioned he wanted one… (though he added he wasn’t serious about it.. -.-”)… But anyway, springing a small surprise is worth it, just to see his smiling face, with the element of surprise. Truly priceless.

The weather threatened to pour, but thankfully, it held back the grey clouds, and out came the sunshine… There’s a rent 1 hour, and get 1 hour free, which I think it’s worth it, considering 2 bikes were rented at 6 dollars each. Plus 2 dollars to rent a locker, well for under 15 dollars in total, not too bad at all!

Lunch was at Waraku, and their lunch set promotion is worth eating, and it’s valid for every day of the week! It was an enjoyable lunch, though the air-con broke down at the East Coast outlet. But the drinks and food made up for it, and for that, it wasn’t so bad after all.

Spotted a whole row of beautiful lalang, and took a few photos of it. Am awaiting the photos though… Oh yes, and promptly spent the next half of the day in Parkway Parade. Not a bad way to relax the day away

Sat down and talked, and walked around, window shopping that is… and quite amazed at some of the changes in Parkway Parade.

I was so tired that I dozed off in Bus 31, but thankfully, woke up before I miss my stop.

PS: I think we should do this more often

It’s Friday, thankfully, but I am still disturbed. Argh.

Oh well.

Just submitted my FYP Report, and honestly, I feel I could have done a better job, but I guess its history. I did my best, though not the very best, but I hope to pass…

Now, on with my other assignments, as well as continuation of implementing my FYP. Yes, it doesn’t stop there… On hand, Distributed Computing assignment, Intelligent Agents, and Simulation and Modeling assignment. I just have to grit my teeth and bear with it I guess.

I am in for a very rough ride till 5th May.

The cold winds blow through the doors and windows… and yet, despite the cold, I gladly welcome the refreshing and breezy wind… It feels different somewhat… Cos you see, rains usually make me feel very gloomy, melancholy.

I love the after rain moments, and I can smell the fresh cool air the rain brings, and seeing wet grounds everywhere, and knowing that the plants got their watering from the heavens makes me very happy. Weird I know, but strangely therapeutic.

The cool air lingers a long while, if its a heavy downpour, else by then the fan will be switched on, to dispel the humidity.

Okay, think I sprouted enough crap on this post, time to get back to writing the damn report.

Wanna share this lovely poem with all..

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

It’s one of my source of inspiration that I can rely on in times of need such as of now.

Saturday has arrived… What’s new? Yet another day to be spent on reports. It didn’t help that I am facing some setbacks at the moment… But I will still try my very best to finish my tasks on hand.

Been to the doctor recently, and being given muscle relaxant drugs is a blessing, for it allowed me to sleep better, and that has help to tamed my mood down, well at least I won’t snap or cry so easily.

I am glad that there are some leeway given to me for my FYP, as I manage to get project extension…

My lack of sleep is to be blamed for my nervous breakdown, it’s not funny though, but I will do something about the lack of sleep, after all these is over!

I feel glad that I have support from my bunch of friends, boyfriend, and the most importantly, my family.

With that being said, have a good weekend.
