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…

We all know how cruel the corporate world is. No one is spared, unless you’re your own boss that is. As paid salary workers, there’s more than meets the eye.

I’m through my first year of work, maybe about 15 months already? I never dislike my job scope, to set the record straight, but rather, something else (sounds vague? some of my friends will know what I am referring to though)

Since then, it affected my temperament. I admit, I’m the kind who can’t really keep my cool when subjected to very intense pressure, as I tend to keep things to myself, and that’s when I explode pretty badly.

I didn’t escape pretty well this time around, resulting in causing grief to some of my friends around me. My bad. My bad. It has blown over, and its time to finish up what’s left of my personal to-do list.

Funny how badly I take towards some work issues, but I guess I shouldn’t let it affect me too much, after all, it’s work (to put it blatantly). Dealing it with professionalism than attaching too much feelings into it will make it easier to cope when stupid things happen.

The storm will pass, so they say, and yes, this too will pass.

A happier and stronger me will emerge from this dark shell.

To the friends who care, thank you.
To the friends who accepts me as who I am, a double thank you.
To the friends who constantly looks out for me, infinite thanks.

To the bf, thanks for being there for me.

Just One
Unknown

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what’s true,

One life can make a difference,
You see, it’s up to you!

I guess, all I need is just One very thing.

You. Yes, my friend, you.

Nicole

I’m in one at the moment. Not particularly enjoyable, but it’s part of my job to ensure that these projects get delivered.

Sorry if my temperament is kinda short circuited. Whilst I take time to come to terms with personal issues, please bear with me.

To be frank, being in the mid-twenties, feels like its more of being in the prime time of being an adult. More decisions to make, more issues to consider. It dawned on to me that it’s never easy to arrive at some decisions, because it will mean hurting myself, or others around me.

But more often than not, I end up hurting myself, because I put others first. Perhaps its time to start thinking for myself.

Troubled.

Nicole

Congratulations on your “Level Up” to level 25. It’s a day marked with a joyous occasion, of candle blowing, tender loving, and simply have a good time.

You overcame trials and tribulations to this day. As you break away from the past, a better present and more awesome future awaits you.

I’m glad to see that you have become a stronger and happier person. Go forth, and do what you wanna do.

Open up Chapter 25 with a big bang!

Oh yes, here’s a song for you:

PS: On the other hand, Happy 2nd Anniversary of your relationship.

From,
The Nicole of Chapter 24

Many things has happened, and too much to sum them all in one post. But to simply put it, it’s a roller coaster ride. Its also towards August, I finally started accepting myself. It’s heartening to know that I manage to break through the list of issues to conquer, and it feels good to be able to know that I too, can achieve it

Things have been dealt with, and it’s time to move on. Precious lessons been learnt, and it’s all good for me… and without company of the lovely friends, the support, encouragement, I doubt I would have made it this far.

The road ahead won’t be this smooth, but at least, I’m ready to face what comes ahead of me.

Its been fun having turned 24, but 25 beckons!

XOXO,
Nicole

Here’s one of my fave… featuring Luka and Miku! I love love these vocaloids very much

Of course, the animation is a welcome distraction during gameplay. Unfortunately, that always cost me my combo points!

On a side note, learning to smile with the eyes certainly makes one look different. LOL! Something that I learnt from America’s Next Top Model. Haha.

Have a good thursday ahead yeah?!

XOXO
Nicole

Whimsical Wednesday.

Its a relief I might see the glimmer light at the end of the tunnel. Gosh, I can’t wait to see the status of the project becomes “CLOSED”. Good riddance.

Sure, the project has brought along up’s and down’s, but I’m glad through it all, His Grace covered me through, and the miracle came forth

Fingers crossed, I really want a fantastic weekend this week.

Nicole

I’m still very much alive and kicking, just not doing much on this blog these days, save for a couple of updates to my Posterous, and occasionally, Tumblr. Amazingly, this month by far has its fair share of up’s and down’s…

National Day has gone by and now, the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) is here, and soon, F1 in September. What a busy time for our island to be in. I have some thoughts about YOG, but I will keep it to the next post, if I ever could pen it down.

It has been a crazy month thus far, and it will be, for the later part of the week

Also, this blog, shall be going through some painfully slow changes, which will be rolled out as and when the author is able to

XOXO,
Nicole

I really feel like breaking away into my little corner, and let the happy pictures dance alongside with me.

Just this once, I need a proper break!

Nicole

Happy 45th Birthday to you!

Peaceful and Prosperous time ahead

Nicole

I’m officially on an indefinite hiatus from tech65, and will be focusing on my well being alongside with work and personal life.

At this point in time, I would still continue to attend events, if addressed to my personal email, in my personal capacity and if my schedule permits.

I would hope to resolve my matters in due time, and rejoin the group as soon as I can…

Do continue to support tech65, as they are doing their best to bring you scoops of the weekly 65bits podcast, along with Gear65, SimplyGeek episodes too!

With much love,
Nicole

Glad that bf is back from hong kong.

Wants to watch Inception.

Wrists still in pain.

Lost my photos to a corrupted memory card

Oh well.
