The Gal – Nicole

Deep crimson red roses are one of my fave flowers. I still remember how the event unfolded on my 23rd birthday. Oh those memories…

It’s Friday, and I am feeling great I guess.

The year of the tiger was ushered in with a roar, and I guess that’s about it. Apart from the annual reunion dinner and the customary visits to the elder, nothing much has changed. Perhaps the people.

My family headed down early to Grandma’s place to help her prepare the reunion dinner. The bulk of the cooking fell to my dad and mum, as my Grandma has difficulty preparing dinner this year.

The same can be said for the 1st day of new year as well. Not that I am complaining. I get to pig out on good food and loads of goodies.

Uploaded my photos to the computer, but I am still sorting it out the pictures.

Oh yes, I am leaving on a jet plane real soon. Excited.

I feel kinda stoned. Partially doing a lot of inner thinking, and planning.

Time to start firming things up. Fingers crossed, and I will see a miracle.

My world is currently a mad world. An influx of projects just came in. I can’t complain, for it’s what will bring the dough.

January is almost over. My, that’s like one month into year 2010.

This year, I made no resolution, because I knew it would be broken anyway. But what I did was to tell myself, to rest and pace myself out better.

So far, things that have happened to me are beyond my expectations, like being able to keep a pet fish in my office, and you have no idea, how much I love the little fish, because she is of significant meaning to me. Her spirit is strong, and her will to live is so strong that she overcame odds to survive itch, a white spot like illness that most fishes may not be strong enough to recover.

I feel very thankful to be meeting up with my sec/poly friends, and spend time with friends and people around me as well.

Loads of photos to process, and words to churn out, and I know I will get it done, because I am doing what I can

Have a blessed Sunday!

It’s a Terrifying Tuesday, and indeed, it started really awful.

A cockroach in the toilet when I am about to shower, and it did scare the hell out of me. I can’t see very well without glasses, so it appeared as a brown crawling insect to me.

Wanted to scream, but too early, lest I wake all my neighbors up. So… I took the water hose and hosed it down the drainage. :X

Nicole

So what’s up with me? Nothing bad, save for being extremely busy at work. Loads of work coming my way, but I shall take it in my stride.

It’s amazing that I started keeping a little fish in my office cube. A red female betta, to be exact. While it’s just a betta, to me, it’s a very strong fish, as it had survived an infection of white spots and itch.

Apart from fuzzying over the fish, it’s high time I pay more attention to my writing, because I have not been writing as much as I want to! Argh.

I’m done reviewing the LG Chocolate as well as the Canon 50D. Reviews coming in soon. I am happy to lay my hands on them. And yes, the EOS 50D has been very lovely, and I have had a very good time shooting photos with it.

Alrightey… I will be back soon!

Nicole

Up till now, it’s still painful to be apart from the bf, as he heads to UK to study once again. Though he is back for 2 weeks plus, it’s still not enough. At least for both of us.

But for the sake of his future, there ain’t a choice.

As I am typing this post, I fought back hard not to cry, but I gave in and cried anyway.

Long Distance Relationship, aka LDR, is not as easy as it seems. Fellow friends in a LDR can vouch for that too. But both of us will remain strong, and faithful, just for each other. LDR is like the ultimate test of a relationship. To me, a LDR can make or break the relationship, so I will just have to be strong.

For our sakes. For his sake. For my sake.

Goodbye dearest bf, till May comes around. See you. Study Hard and Play Harder in UK.

With love,
Nicole

I feel like I am in a tunnel of sorts. A turbulent tunnel. But at the same time, I see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I am walking towards it, one step at a time, and I shall not look back.

I am still battling a monster called depression.

Sometimes the medication I take triggers it, at times, it’s my self inadequacies that is acting up.

Either way, I will be ok I guess, with wonderful friends like you, you and all of you.
