The familiar feelings are all returning, and once again, I get back my full spectrum of emotions. Not a big deal to shout about, but a big deal to myself. I can rein and have better control about my feelings to certain issues.

I guess its part of growing up.

I am who I am, I please whom I care to please.
I know I am not of a perfect figure or looks, but its just me.
I love to do things unimaginable, things unlike of me.

People always says I’m a goody two shoes.
Perhaps yesterday, but not today.
My rebellious streak is keeping silent no more.

So pardon me, for I feel like a rebellious teenager.
Challenging beliefs, and pushing to the limit.
Just to even see, if I can take the breaking point.

Time has past
Perspectives have changed
Challenges were overcame.

Perhaps it’s foolish to even write like that,
But how else would words flow out of my head?
It may sound vague to you, but clear to some.

I would love to share with you my thoughts,
only if you hold me, and treat me right.

I’m just being me.
The me that I always wanted to be.

Nicole

PS:
If you know me well enough, you will see how this poem relates.
If not, take that I am talking rubbish.

Never felt more alive than ever. By which I meant by living life in that moment, for the moment. Not by just passing each day of one’s life. Took me a tad too long to find out, but hey, still, better late than never.

It’s amazing how my perspectives, beliefs are changing along the flow of time, and being able to witness wonders in and around my life has certainly brought revelation.

I can certainly say, I am living the life I want it to be.

There are still issues that I have yet to conquer, but I shall, one step at a time.

I am more awesome than I think I am.

Nicole

Just so that you know that I am still alive.

Will be back.

It has truly been a shutter journey for myself, as well as a bunch of friends I met through the Shutter Journey (Singapore) Photography Group on Facebook.

I still remember myself having clicked “Join” and lurking there for quite sometime, looking through the photographs and hesitating to attend the outings that were organized twice a week by Allan and Ling.

“Reflections” was my very first photo outing with them, and it so happened that I picked a challenging topic to attempt on. My initial fears were unfounded, for I have not found just a group for photography, but friendly, helpful bunch of photographers!

(and they are very funny people too!)

To date, I’ve gone on about 14 outings with them, and yes, still enjoying myself thoroughly.

I never failed to laugh myself silly, or simply enjoy the company as well as shooting at each outing, and that one thing I must add, rain or shine, the outing’s still on. Weather has not been a stopping factor to the outings each week.

Every week’s outing focuses on different aspects of photography, and making use of whatever camera equipment to shoot with. Of course, the constant camaraderie makes each shoot unforgettable, with tales that get retold, or having a good laugh.

Wednesdays and Sundays have never been this good, though I tend to skip shoots due to work or other commitments.

Photography is a healthy addiction. -Nicole

It’s heartening to note that the group has grown to about 550 members. w00t! Check out the group’s facebook as well as the blog!

PS: I never wanted to attach any photos here, because I want you to go check them out on Facebook!

PPS: Oh yes, don’t be shy, come along to any of our shoots, and have fun! Check them out on Facebook ok? I hope to see you there and let’s all have fun!

This song was stuck in my brainwaves for a couple of days… It’s kinda odd that I am struck by words that makes or break my esteem… but I guess its part of the growing process…

I wake up telling myself, I’m beautiful just the way I am.

It works most of the time…
