Ohai! I’m still alive.

Just extremely busy with… mainly work… and putting in some other plans into action. July has rolled and is rolling away, and yes, I would love the fact that August is coming! :)

Pictures coming your way, as I intend to showcase different pictures that I’ve taken with various cameras :)

XOXO!

Its been an amazing near 2 years of being together, with our fair share of ups and downs. *excited*

20 Jul 2010 The Journey Home
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

7.50 pm: Awaiting my east bound train at Clementi. Waiting for 6 mins that is. Perhaps peak hour is over… But I don’t know. And no seat. What’s new?

The train smelled of food, stinky feet, body odor and what not. Not exactly the nicest way to travel, but should be contented la… (Unless there’s teleportation)

more…

17 Jul 2010 Alive and Kicking

Woah, this month has gotten to be one of the least updated period on my blog. LOL. Just look at the calendar widget and you will understand. For those whom wonder, I am still alive and kicking, though work can be energy zapping.

A whole load of backlog to handle, and not to mention the never-ending process of filter and editing photos… Ain’t too fun, but nonetheless, it’s quite awesome to see the photos ;)

I may not own a powerful machine to do complex PP, nor a DSLR, but it will never stop me from taking photos of what I desire.

I shall head back to finish my selection of the Singapore Garden Festival, and then more stuff.

Been pretty hooked to Project Diva on the bf PSP. :P

Check this video out! gosh, the player must be so darn good at it :)

It’s my fave song in the game, and still sneaking time to play with it when I am out with him :P

09 Jul 2010 Barebone Updates

Been busy at work lately… and trying to get as much rest as I can. LOL. Of course, trying to get my life altogether straightened out once more. :)

I’m fine, just feeling the strain of the long hours at times, and of course, constantly wanting sleep. Dreadful. Weekends are more precious than ever.

Slowly but surely, I guess I am feeling ready to leave the past behind :)

05 Jul 2010 Update: The Skin
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: ,  | Comments off

Many would have known that I’m still undergoing my skin treatment to treat acne/scars, since September 2009.

Lately, my skin has become more sensitive, due to the course of treatment, and minor irritants aside, I’m actually starting to see more results.

Another 16 dose of Oratane tablets (once a week) and night application of cream to reduce and keep the redness of the cheeks in check, would be my annual revision.

Keeping fingers cross that the review examination will determine if my treatment continues or stopped. :)

Now it’s time to do a before and after comparison. But first, let me go dig up the ugliest photo of myself :P

I would admit that it’s my own fault for not taking care of my skin well whilst during the growing up years, but I am very thankful that my skin condition is treatable.

Lest you say that I did it for vanity sake, I would say yes (who doesn’t want to look good?) and no, I did it also because to help boost my self esteem and confidence (now that’s another story altogether).

Looks like it’s one of the birthday presents I could give myself :)

Drop me a note if you are keen to know where I sought treatment from.

xoxo,
Nicole

Can’t imagine I am stuck at home writing, whilst recovering from a sneaky attack of flu. Ok, weather changes affect me badly sometimes, coupled with inadequate sleep, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

I guess the only thing I look forward is to eat and sleep. And pray that I will recover in time before another hectic work week.

Argh.

01 Jul 2010 7th Month
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

1st July. 7th month into year 2010.

Time has just waved her magic wand, and voila. LOL. In less than two months, its my turn to step into my mid-twenties. For once the number meant something to me, on a more personal basis. I hope it will be a blast, and as a way of embracing life onwards.

Friends who have known me will know I am plagued by self-esteem and confidence issues. Its getting better these days, but it still haunts me on and off. I still have work to do in these areas, but its much manageable these days.

I have a lot more things to look forward to, and I shall! :)
