The Gal – Nicole

The VAIO W is all packed up and ready to be returned. I will miss it, after having quite a lot of fun with it.

Well, the results for “Make me the W Ambassador” is out. I didn’t win. But that’s ok. I am not sure who won, but congratulations to the winners anyway.

However, a big THANK YOU goes out to all whom have help voted for me during the 2 weeks of competition. Appreciate it very much.

It has been a great joy to use, and Sony VAIO W has definitely won my heart in terms of aesthetics…

It’s been 2 days since he left for London. No prizes for guessing who. Was a near total wreck for both Saturday and Sunday. (Seeing my emo twits on twitter proves so).

Couldn’t really tear myself away from it all. But I guess that’s part of the natural process of allowing oneself to let it go.

It’s not the end of the world yet. No doubt that I am starting to miss him, but the Internet makes it easier to be in touch. I’m sure he is busy and he won’t want to see me in such a state too.

So yes, I will bounce myself up and get busy with all my stuff too! As I await his return, my life shall carry on too.

Haven’t been to Sushi Tei in a while, and thus, before he left, both of us and friends went there to have dinner… at the Paragon branch.

This is the entire spread of food on our table, for 4 hungry people.

Read the rest…

Each day, I learn something new. And it never fails to humble me, that I still have a lot more to learn. The learning won’t stop, and so does life’s lessons.

Currently feeling emotionally drained, and physically exhausted. Hopefully, I can take this long weekend to recharge, and get my emotions in check.

Skin condition is looking good. Can’t wait to blog about it.

Looks like I better sleep. My eyes can barely open! Oh no.

Banking has never been so convenient especially now that mobile banking is at consumers’ fingertips. Citibank introduces its Mobile Banking platform, leveraging on today’s mobile technologies to bring banking services to the customers, allowing them access to their accounts 24/7, wherever they are, whenever they want.

Citi Mobile and Citi Alerts are services which works together seamlessly, providing the customer mobility without the hassle of being stuck in the bank to access its services.

Ok, before I carry on, let me just share with you quickly what is Citi Mobile and City Alerts.

Citi Mobile: Available to all customers who have Internet access on their mobile phone,
allowing customers to carry out transactional activities including funds transfers and bill
payments via their mobile phone. It is browser-based, and no registration or software
download is required.

Citi Alert: An SMS service that notifies customers automatically when a banking activity
such as a salary credit or a credit card charge occurs. It also allows customers to access
their banking and card information on-demand via two-way SMS.

Oh, of all the mobile devices used to access the Citi Mobile, it’s found that the Nokia Phones and the iPhone are the most popular, so much so that there’s more optimization done for these 2 devices, but all the standard mobile devices are also optimized too.

Benefits of Citi Mobile includes the following:

• Simple and convenient login
• Secure process with end-to-end encryption – Transact with a peace of the mind!
• Citibank Gourmet Pleasures – Enjoy fine dining

Citi Alerts provides Alerts on Demand, as well as customizable Alerts such as GIRO transactions. Kinda cool to be always kept updated with regards to what’s happening to your money. And any unusual transactions can be quickly noticed too!

In short, these services which CitiBank offers through its Mobile Services benefits the customers, as transactions can be done very quickly, and securely via the mobile device. Of course the plus point would be to do these banking transactions, anywhere, anytime. No more hassle in queuing physically at the bank.

I hope you have gained more information Citibank’s Mobile Services, like I did.

We held each other in a tight embrace,
each not wanting to let go.
Whispering the 3 words,
“I Love You” just means so much to you and me.

Still we will miss each other,
but time will fly.
I can’t help but cry in the bus,
as I reluctantly left for home.

All the best to your studies,
and I am looking forward to see you soon.
Till December comes around…

PS: Have a safe flight this Saturday. Hope to hear from you soon.

Birthdays are exciting, and it’s more so when it’s the anniversary of a relationship. You all probably have read that he made this day extra sweet last year.

This year, as usual, my family celebrated it for me, and the same goes for him. And this time, my friends too, decided it’s to celebrate not one but three of our birthday’s within a week of each other. Haha, 3 August babies.

So, to kick this post of, let me just tempt you with my birthday cake from EmiCakes. My dad surprised me, by getting me this cake, thanks daddy. The chocolate cake is awfully sinful! But it’s so yummy.

Thank you girls, for the wonderful star necklace.

The 3 August babies

Of course, not forgetting the present the bf gave to me.

He took me to my favorite restaurant, The Ship, and we had a wonderful lunch there… and yup, we spent a lovely time together, marking the 1st year anniversary of the relationship.

As usual, I’ve quite a number of backlog of posts to publish here. Oops. My bad. But I’ll try. After another hectic week ahead of me.

Why so hectic?

Well, apart from work, after work is filled with stuff to do, events to attend. Not complaining though. Its nice to be busy and what not. And of course I am rushing through a present to be given to the bf before he departs.

I’ve decided to take half day leave on Wednesday, so as to visit my skin doctor and spend some much needed time with him. No doubt it will be hard to say goodbye, at least for the first time. I know I’m not alone in having a Long Distance Relationship (LDR), but the feelings and nerves are hard to shake off.

I guess I will have more free time after he leaves, which I can then make use of it to push my stuff to the next level. We’ll see how it goes, and that I might be able to announce all of this here.

PS: I’m giving posterous a shot as well, and I guess I like it

Lyrics:

If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
When there’s only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home,
Boy, my love will get you home.

My current addiction to this song, for it carries a lot of emotions that I will feel when he leave. No big deal, but it’s the first time that is the hardest.

Dad made these for dinner recently… and please don’t blame me for making you hungry

Soya sauce chicken – Homemade gravy, that has loads of spices added in.

Stir-fried cauliflower, with carrot and prawns

Stuffed taupok with fish paste

It’s a yummy, if not equally sinful dinner, but it made the stomach a very happy organ that day.
