lets play a lovegame December 3, 2009

I’m becoming one nocturnal beast! The only upsides of this pattern is that I can finally stay up late and talk to other nocturnal idiots (like E who stays up dooper late hee hee) & I’m drinking lots of water! I’m talking 3-4 cups each night, I usually drink only like 1 1/2 cups a day 3: My skins happy but I’m getting poofy eyebags to show for the lack of sleep.

Other than that, every day’s been a dull mundane cycle of waking up, eating my pre-bought breakfast and than stoning as to what to do next ]: Luckily there’s cell retreat this Friday! I CAN’T WAIT FOR SOME, IF NOT ANY, INJECTED EXISTENCE OF BEING BUSY. ^-^

My English, on the other hand is flowing down the drain (much like my deteriorating sleep patterns). I’m starting to depend on auto-spellchecks on wordpress & gmail (when sending emails) which is terrible! & I keep on having difficulty spelling some words, it’s like my head is filled with helium? E keeps correcting me which is getting increasingly annoying I must say >:l

I need to get back to sleep now. D: Have to make a dooper effort to sleep now so that I can wake up & meet Cass to bake a special suprise birthday cake ^-^ Doopie oopie!!!

Yawn, Canada for two weeks?

things that make me happy November 30, 2009

I got myself a new notebook! (: Goobie!!

I’m really into updates now cos I have alot of time on my hands. I got the lil gem above at my neighborhood stationery shop! The shop started off specialising in Hello Kitty goodies, now it carries lotsa assorted things like bags, hair accessories and mini household appliances ^-^ Mostly cute-sey stuff that will intrigue secondary girls or any girl? to pop by. It only costed $2.90! Thats the brilliant part (: Most other ridiculous sprees/stores online will charge up to a hefty $17 just for a notebook/planner/organizer.

Planning to use it for church sermons, I’m making a constant effort to get back my adrenaline for church sermons! Also perfect for bringing along in my fredperry bag! Yahoo D:

…. Since i’m so free here’s what I ate today!

Chicken Mushroom Noodles

Where? City Point Mall @ Farrer Park!

It’s the first eco-friendly mall in Singapore so far, there’s not much difference to me really! A new mall is a new mall, it just means a cleaner interface, and a new place to explore. The shops are all blah there though, nothing worth fawning over, but the food is quite tantalizing! There’s this store that specialises in Claypot ^-^ I can see myself patronizing it soon heehee.

Ate this at the Kopitiam on the top level, yum! Added xtra noodles cos I was dooper hungry, looks delish doesn’t it? It wasssss! Okay i’m off to watch my latest obsession now (BECAUSE TORRENTS TAKE SO LONG TO DWNLOAD, and latest GG/Vampire Diaries aren’t out yet!)

My Fair Lady

Starring Yoon Eun Hye! <: <:

The butler is so handsome, but both of the guys faces & the storyline is so typical of korean drama. It sort of resembles Goong too! So, yay. Happy me!

science centre November 29, 2009

Here’s a rather old update of mine, but I made a promise to Caleb to upload the Science Centre/Body Worlds trip we had a few weeks ago and I wasn’t able to fulfill it till now due to my packed schedule and partial procrastination! I decided I might as well post some peektures here along with some captions! Afterall what is the point of taking photographs if you don’t share it eh?

The best peekture I could get from the advertisement D:

We weren’t allowed to take ANY pictures in the Body Worlds exhibition which sucked cos it was really amazing! Trust me when I say it’ll amaze you, every single body part was shown animatedly and as realistically as possible, but I can understand why they’d want to keep it so closed-up so that each patron can really witness the real deal itself at the exhibition. (Rather than peeking off someone’s blog D:) Caleb claims I rushed thru toooo quickly, but each exhibit I saw ahead was more fascinating than the one infront !

One of the cool science exhibits they had up. It isn’t science though, more of an art illusion! Here’s at it from one angle:

Whiiich shows this character in a boat near a island with 2 trees & a big fish! Can you spot it (:

& If you turn it arrrround:

You get this quirky picture of a bird holding on to the character!

Murray Eels! I have a absolute fetish with underwater creatures & corals (8 I use to research them up for the fun of it, and kept folders containing photocopied information regarding them!

If you see carefully, you can spot TWO eels. They are known to be very dangerous creatures in the sea because of their well kept demeanor, they stay exceptionally still! I didn’t spot the ’second’ one until I zoomed in when I was viewing the piccys on my computer, so neat right!

Close up!

So beautiful ^0^

This one below is most probably a pufferfish? I can’t really remember frm the exhibit But if it is, the jap name for it is Fugu & the Japanese eat them despite how life-threatening and poisonous the fugu is. I’ve been called to resemble a fugu cos of my round face shape, it’s quite a cute honor though I highly doubt it.

This lil fella below is a rockfish! (Amaye right?) Hah I spent a good minute trying to spot these fellas in the tank. He/it camouflaged so well in the water (even in a tank!), can’t imagine how much more he could in real sea waters!

In anycase, he’s a cutie! ^-^ LOOK AT THOSE DROOPY EYES

I forgot the name for this fish below, but the hues on his scales are really pretty! It’s so nice how it sort of fades from a darker to a lighter color from his tail upwards. So amazed at God’s hand in this again!!! c:

A full view of the tank.

LOOK AT ALL THE CORALS! Ohmy! Makes me want to visit the Underwater World now (x

This fella here (up & down picture) was so fun to photograph! He was happily performing acrobatic moves and gymnastic flips for me in the water, such a darling. & his dark scales complemented the greenish sea grass behind! Love the below pic cos he’s like doing some mid-turning and click! D:

One last picture of me & Caleb at one of the science exhibits! Think it was about lights or electricity, not too sure but the lighting in this picture makes us look as if we were at a club entrance! I’m so in the mood to enjoy life and party now! <:

Oooooh, I got my new Living Life devotion book for Dec! My goal this month is to eat healthier and read the Dec Devotional every single day of the monthy till the 1st day of 2010!!!

Aja aja fighting! <: Ok adios! Going to finish watching my korean drama nowww

♥

Note:

Why do I always appear so organized and ready in church or with new crowds? It always appear I can never blend in correctly with the crowd, like I can never fit into that behavior of sillyness and child-ishness? Or is it because i’m still not fully familiar. I’d like to give myself time, but I’d also like to think that maybe it’s just not my crowd to be myself in.

I used to be this girl in church that never slept in during sermons, that always had meaningful sharings to say during processing, that could coherent myself well, that during dinners or lunches together I would beg to stay longer.

I love church, I love stepping into church & feeling that presence of God, that conviction that warm fuzzy feeling that seeps into my soul. I love that, but nothing drifts in like it used to.

F….abulous.

p.pinang November 26, 2009

“Hey Nicolette, how was Penang?“

“Um…..the food’s great! There’s like lots of good food there”

“Not much stuff to see right!“

“Actually there was! There was like this snake temple….“

The Snake Temple! (Filled with lots of snake loitering cage-free)

Despite much presumptions from everyone, I really loved Penang alot :3 I may be the worst to ask for a first-hand comment on Penang (-slaps self on the dialogue above that actually happened-), but deep inside my mind, the place was marvelous to visit! Plus, yes, the food really is delicious. Gah I miss the curry noodles there ): 4RM for a bowl of curry noodles with pigs blood, prawns, hot spicy soup & other random goodness!!

I’m a little out of sync to blog still, (still) in holiday mood currently ^0^

So i’ll leave chu with this CUTE monkey picture above. Spotted him at the Spice Garden visit, tog with his other pals! They were infuriatingly cheeky waving their paws? and jumping all around, but yes, I love the fluffy head they have. SO CUTE!

More on other stuff soon!

i don’t like it very much November 12, 2009

I dolled myself up xceptionally sweet today: concealer, eyeshadow, AA sweater, i♥parisdress, dangly earrings, fredperry bag, & went out to meet HTKAMM. It was very surreal, I came home in about an hour & a half later! Haha :/ Pretty much wasted my time, but it was quite fun still.

It rained on the way so I had the pleasure of feeling tiny screaming raindrops slam onto my head.

P.S: Mental note to eat lunch with Jeremy! I haven’t seen him for almost 3 years & he’s been so effortlessly sweet in replying my sms’es despite his army schedule (:

Wee need to busy myself with dates of both genders! My holidays thus far is exceptionally boring, and the people I want to hang out with most are busy :[ Must persist, must persist!

yay last exam November 11, 2009

Going to take a cab cos it’s raining cats & dogs, but yes twas is finally the last exam (: After this I can party all I want! Hee, maybe going out for dinner or a movie later :/ Not really sure. Everyone seems really lazy to bust themselves out of house, with the strange fact that it’s finally the last day of exams? We should be doing something to commerate but I guess what really everyone craves to do now is just sleep for 72 hours and stone infront of the TV heehaw.

Alrightee have to run! Good luck for everyone whose taking the science MCQ exam best of love, luck and God’s blessing! ♥

my intepretation of forever November 11, 2009

There’s going to be one person in your life whose going to make you think that forever is possible. There is also that one person in your life whose going to tell you/show you/make you know that it never existed.

Yet there’s only one person who can make you feel/act/think that way & that person is you

don’t you agree?

i got mail! November 9, 2009

Received a pleasantly sweet surprise when I got home at night <: It was sent by Benjamin, at first glance…

I thought it was a free trial mag from some art gallery/fashion shop I chanced upon in Haji Lane, it really did look like one, than I saw this…

& than I thought it was some blogshop (e.g. Modparade) cos it was in print & not handwriting, but the mailer was in handwriting so it got confusing, than I flipped and saw…

Gasp! Yes gasp!

Heh incase you don’t know what the spread above is (on the right particularly) its a photoshoot that I did for my sweet friend Benjamin about 1-2 months ago, he does it for both interest & portfolio. I’m so proud of him that his works got featured in the NTU mag! (He studies at NTU) : ) His ideas are well thought of & is unique from the usual spread of photography that emphasizes on beautiful models/proper poses/lighting effects. His photography depicts the realism of circumstances and events with a twist, very thought-provoking.

Other than the fact that I look like a complete corpse (which was the theme of this one ‘Death by Drowning’) He really did manage to capture the essence of morbidness in it! : ) The other girls who were in the shoot look so absolutely stunning, do click here if you want to see more of his talented works hee :b

The other model who was featured, mmm, so pretty!

Hokay I have to rush off, going to slack more before doing some MCQ questions. Last paper on Wednesday, so happy that it’s MCQ but still, must revise(: Toodles!

boredom is a sign of freedom November 8, 2009

As chu can see, I am really trying to convince myself of the above statement. My timesheet today was utterly monotone, it came to an extent whereby I whipped out my bio txtbooks in an effort to study just because I was free! This is quite horrific of course. Okay after 11 Nov I’m going to buy an A Level Chem book & mug. (for the sake of it)

Went back to my photoshop roots & rediscovered the miracles that PS could do, my ability in graphic design has deteoriated :3 Sigh, at least I have 3 months to pick it up again till my sch starts heehee!

l-r: before, after

A kio-tah graphic I did for Jian Ying!

Sigh, it really shows how bored iYam! ):

lets bust out the party poppers November 7, 2009

Hallo world, I haven’t been very active the past months due to my exams but gee guess what! Now everything’s over. I have no more exams, xcept my upcoming Science MCQ which I’m not fretting much about (← Note to self: Buy MCQ revision books from Pop-U-Lah) I sort of can’t wait to start learning again which I realise might be months later :\  That’s a horror to feat. I stepped into a Pop-U-Lah store a few days ago & was sorely tempted to buy the A Level Chem book to read. Glad to know I still have the learning spirit in myself! So proudly pathetic sometimes ♥

I finally picked up Johnny again to play, for the past month(s) He has been either been lent to my other camkrazy friends or left in the camera box to hibernate. Get ready for some aktion shots soon people, this Johnny ain’t going to be a slacker in my Hols. Which reminds me I am flying off to Penang next week, I just can’t wait to be in the myriad of food heaven & see all the wonderful scenery again. It’s a divine difference from robotic Singapore, Hee I’ll miss tons of people during those 3 days but I promise we’ll have loads of fun once I come back To ykw.

Here’s my babie(s): (Johnny & Ruddy)

Ruddy’s probably going to go for a haircut when we go to Penang & he visits Alberto for his yearly Holiday stay, hohums! That chub needs to get all his hair shaved off, He looks like a porkfloss bun with a stinky aroma.

Roaming the streets of Orchard after a Midnight Movie (Michael Jackson’s This Is It), I don’t know whose idea it was to watch that as a Midnight Movie ← points to self → It was a good documentary film on Michael’s last moment, but after 1 hour of watching him sing songs it got a little stale. Nevertheless the post-theatre moments were the funnest! Gah I didn’t know everyone was out at 2:30 in the morning! I spotted one of the owners from HVV, so pretty! She’s only 17 but she’s like 167CM.

I really enjoyed it though, I need to go out for more Midnight Movies!

Okay, meeting J at the korean stall. Have to run & go dress up! Loveloads <:
