omg. finally ive the time to blog :D
(SUPER LONG POST !)

so over the weekend, nigel &i went to turi beach resort at batam.

took loads of pictures. i guess im fond of memories.
collaged most of them to save space.
*click collages to enlarge.

well, let the pictures do the talking :]

got on our boat at harbourfront ferry terminal.

(btw on the bus ride to the beach resort, we met a 21 year old butch with a 15 year old lesbian going for a holiday at one of the beach resorts too. we were so grossed out !!!)

1), 2), 3) lobby of turi beach resort
4) our room
5) nigel looking out our balcony
6) nigel on his queen sized bed
7) the front view of our hut
8) the road beside our hut

the roof.

we had an entire cosy hut all to ourselves.
with 2 queen sized beds. really gorgeous.

after settling in, we were hungry !

the hotel’s restaurant.

he ordered carbonara pasta &mushroom chicken soup.
i ordered fish &chips.

damn funny :D

all dressed for the pool right :D
cuz that’s our 2nd destination.
(right after a hearty lunch, no less. tsk !)

oh yes. a nice sunny afternoon. &their poolside is so gorgeous !
we didnt swim much though. didnt wna puke right.

just chilled at the pool bar.

1) nigel’s long island tea &my batam paradise cocktail.
+ caeser’s salad which nigel ordered later on.
okay, this is where i totally fell in love with caeser salad !
i never ate salad in my entire life. i hated it. i’m not such a big fan of vege !
at first i was scoffing at nigel “yucks you eat salad one meh. order for what ! waste money !”.
but then, i gobbled nearly half of it x:
so deliciousssss.

hehe.

nigel sitting by the poolside bar, wearing my hairband !

my gosh, its so fucking chillllllllllllllll.
i swear we can do this for the rest of our lives.

a partial view of the pool. love it ?
(there’s another beautiful pool on the other side. pictures below.)

okay the day was still young.
our next destination : beach !

water activities time !

so this is the highlight of my holiday, JET SKI !!!
okay, so its really expensive : SGD45 for 15mins ride / SGD65 for 30mins ride.
&they kinda cheated us cuz we said we wanted 15mins, yet they charged us for 30mins.
oh well right !

nigel the machoman sat in front to drive the thing.
so there’s different levels of speed &we could go til super duper fast.
it was so fun &scary !!! i asked him what if i flew off ?
then he asked me if i wna fly, so i said okay.
(NEVER IMAGINING HE WOULD REALLY MAKE ME FLY !!£$%^&)

so he accelerated the jet ski until the maximum speed &it was sooo fun cuz we were bumping against the waves &flying in the air.
until.

he made a sudden swerve.
that’s when the whole jet ski overturned (we were super far from shore !)
he claims he kicked it back before it fully overturned.
but what do i know ? i was totally submerged underwater !!!
my eyes were closed shut &i had a mouthful of terribly salty seawater.
i grabbed nigel with my arms &legs &wanted to climb on top of his shoulders. LOL.
until he started shouting at me “nicole ! relax relax relax YOU CAN FLOAT !”.

then i was like. oh.

then he pushed me up unto the jet ski again.
&actually a guy rode over to help us, but by the time he reached, we were up &safe already.

i actually cried quite badly !
so scared you know.
thought i was gna die.

hahaha. but it was super fun !
we actually switched positions (while out at sea !) so that i was the one driving for a while :D

anyway, after that, it was already too low tide to do anymore water activity so we said we’ll continue the next day.

pool shower !

my most favouritest picture.

nigel playing with ants. LOL.

okay finally, back to our room.

love the lighting.

bathed, changed &all.

then hotel’s japanese restaurant for dinner !

teppanyaki yo !
i ordered beef, fish &prawn combi. nigel ordered beef tenderloin as usual.
8) teppanyaki chef lighting huge fire on the beef tenderloin !
10), 11) our egg-wrapped noodle
12) vanilla ice cream dessert :D

quite cheap. sgd20++ for full course meal.
i think the food is so-so, but nigel loved it a lot.

jalan jalan after a full dinner.

the same pool during night time.

the pool at the other side of the resort !
this pool is smaller &just rectangle shaped. good for those who wanna swim laps.
the yellow lights are the pool’s waterfall lights.
5), 6) mini lights on the pool’s floor ! so pretty okay.

1st night !

our room is so glowyy.

2nd day !

buffet breakfast.
look at nigel’s plate (opposite), its like so nicely arranged like how they serve at restaurants. LOL.
i only took 1 prata &2 hashbrown because im not so ambitious.
hehe. i ate 1 bowl of cereal &1 piece of french toast aside from that too.

we went to the pool again after breakfast.
poolside bar again too. cocktails +caeser salad again.
actually drank alcohol every day during this holiday.
kept having “red face”, like natural blush x:

then we went to the beach to try banana boat.
SGD8/person/15mins.
its like really boring as compared to jet ski. hahaha.
cuz i love jet ski the bestest :]
can actually request the boatman to overturn your banana boat for fun.
but nigel specifically told them not to, in case i cry again -.-

after that we washed up to prepare for our massage :]
SGD40/55mins. i think its a bit more expensive. cant rmb.

have a blueblack on my shin from the massage though );

japanese restaurant for dinner again.

I L U.

2) my garlic butter prawns
3) nigel’s seafood platter
4) apple pie &ice cream.

hm. actually pple can travel outside of the hotel to eat, but the taxi costs SGD50 one-way to the city. &we just thought its not worth it. but nigel really did want to eat the seafood outside.
we’ll call more pple to come holiday with us the next time ! more fun lah.

after dinner we jalan jalan again.
went to see the island bar.


you have to take a long long bridge that is extended from the shore into the sea, to reach the island bar. damn ulu, so we left.

yes, we realised by the 2nd day (sunday), everyone on the resort was practically gone !
this is probably because, pple will stay 2d1n only (check in on sat, check out on sun morning).
whereas for us, we bought an extension night = 3d2n. we checked out on mon morning.

kinda not worth it. we really should have stayed 2d1n only.
because everything on the resort can be done within 1 &a half days.
by the 2nd day, we felt there’s nth much to do alr.

so anw, we went to the yacht club instead.
played pool, drank cocktails &watched this nice hbo movie til late.

next morning was check-out already.
so fassssst.

reached home about 7plus in the evening then slept the whole day !
tuesday, went to ikea with nigel &bought so many nonsense.
print the nice picture for his mum too.
so finally today, i am really free.
but tonight im going to zouk’s ladies night.
hehe. who wants to go, call me !!!!

#1 I CREATED ANOTHER DRAMA
#2 MY HANDPHONE DROPPED IN THE DRAIN
#3 MY CAMERA GOT LOST
#4 I DRANK SO MUCH I PUKED
#5 I HAD TO SEND MY DRUNK BF HOME

boohoo );

at first, i ruined the night.
i walked a distance of 4 bus stops, to & fro.
nigel had to chase me. to & fro.

finally settled down.
met a lot of pple !
ivy, weifeng, freda, shane pascoe, jon, ivan, nicholas, kenny, kenneth &many many more.
all random. like 1 guy asked me if i was frm murdoch college cuz he knows 3 of my friends there.
lol.

drank w the guys,
enough to make me high &spinning.

i went outside &sit on the pavement by myself.
then nigel brought me back in.
but we found out my phone was missing.
so i went back to the same spot &sat on the floor, looking into the drain.
i saw lights in the drain but my fat hands cant fit into the bars.
2 big guys came to help me open the drain instead :]
thanks 2 big guys !

went back in &saw freda.
she’s super cute when she’s high. LOL.
we shared apple shooters &flaming lambo.
hahaha. super high &fucked !

after that, totally CMI.

found out my CAMERA WAS MISSING.
nigel dropped it lor.
sigh. i went to anyone &everyone asking “did you see my camera ?”.
no one saw.
GONE.
even asked all the bartender, security, bouncer, bla bla bla.
by this time, nigel was a goner &lying on the floor.

so i was super depressed my camera was gone.
that means all the pictures we took that night are gone !

i stayed outside the club until 4am. just praying for my camera.
finally gave up &cabbed home.

ivy called me in the cab.
that’s when my mood flipped almost 360degrees lah.
she asked me whether my cam is expensive.
i said no.
i said i only want the pictures.
then she said pictures can take again.

which is like fucking true.
why kick up a big fuss, when my bf is having asthma attack, feeling sick, horrible &guilty ?
why be so depressed over one stupid metal thing.

sigh. after that, i was totally calm.
thanks ivy !

but puked at his void deck.
hahahahaha.

okay bye !
i have a gazillion &twenty million things to do );

[edit]
maybe because i believe majority of the people in this world are actually good hearted &willing to return something they found ? or is it me being naive again.
[/edit]

so i spent $40++ on this avene compact only to find out the spree organiser ordered the wrong damn shade for me.
&ha-bloody-ha, i’ve actually used it alr so we can’t return it ?
because i didnt SUSPECT i would get the wrong shade so i didnt check &in fact it looked pretty dark but when i applied it, it’s as white as anything.
grr.

moreover, im going overseas pretty soon which means tan tan tan &tan.
so i will never get fair enough for the stupid $40 compact.

sigh.
anw an update on my day,
studied at j.e. for the entire day ^^V
spent $2.40 photocopying 30 pages on primates &hominin evolution.

i am such a hardworker lor.
but i am wasting a lot of paper.
dont worry, i promise to buy that thingamajiggy that allows you to make textured paper from old paper.
then i can start making textured papers for everyone !

watched sex &the city tday.
i think theyre so fucking overdrama.
why must they squeal in excitement each time they see one another ?

okay whatevs.
going to thumper then zouk tmr !
zouk @$15 - NOT underaged !! woohoo !
who’s going ! :D

met suthanee at tampines tday,
to get 2 MASSIVE science txtbks from her.

woohoo thanks so much !
im super motivated to study now. (hawhaw)
actions speak louder than words. proverb #1.

we went to eat seafood platter @fish &co.
talked &bitch damn a lot.
so much fun :D

later, i used mrt to tiong bahru &she went to bedok.

ahh. i wna work with her !
i’ll be so motivated to work &earn lots of money.
$$$
$$$
money-faced :p

then later, nigel fetched me frm sch.
so nice right ? he didnt bring my chocolate because he left it at the basketball court.
SO NICE RIGHT. wtf.

we ate at the pasta shop.
eat eat eat eat eat. buay sian.
before i slept last night, ate cup noodles.
this afternoon, ate seafood platter.
this evening, ate pasta, clam chowder soup &mac’s ice cream.
tnight confirm hungry &eat some more more more.

i wonder if i’ll suddenly grow fat ?
like nigel x:
hope not, please !

omg. i shouldve taken picture of my outfit tday.
so cute. LOL.
i was wearing overalls &PINK tennis shoes :]
new broom sweep clean. proverb #2.

forget it, you wont understand.

im gg to draw a gazillion mindmaps now.
GDBYE !

hmm. i feel like i’ve got lots of things to blog about :]

exams are next week. i really want to ace this one.
high distinction maybe ? :D
i really love human biology &im having fun learning about it.
anyway, lots of stuff in this module, i have learnt last year in australia.
just that, my human bio textbook is still in perth ! in my homestay’s house. haha.
i sold off all my textbooks except the human bio one. haha.

anw, suthanee is being my life saver.
she’s gna lend me her poly human bio textbook :D
the price of uni textbooks are a killer to buy.

i feel like i’ve got a tons of stuff to do.
the trouble is remembering every single one of them.
i have so many post-its around. even virtual ones on my desktop !

so ytd,
i went for my focus group discussion.
here !

i took a photo of the map so i dont get lost lol.

its the best focus group i ever had ! the pple are so very nice :D
all of them are 19 - 21 yrs old. me being the only 18yr old.
one of them was a bung i think. omggggg. (attracted okaaay)
&its not the fact she looks like a guy. because she very much still looks like a girl.

even after the discussion ended, we still slack inside the room discussing of websites to watch free shows.
&binging on the wide spread of food on the table. all free, all for us x:

earn $50 in the end. (but all blown away within a few hrs later)
6 of us from the group squeezed into the bung’s car &she dropped us off at the mrt.
talk about getting into a stranger’s car. lol. since i only met her for about 2hrs !

mrt-ed to vivo for dinner.

waiting for the rest,

nigel bought for me…


kinder surprise from cocoa tree !

remember the times when kinder surprise was in a different packaging &sold at local supermarkets ?
now you can hardly find it, &in fact, not ALL cocoa trees are selling it.
nigel said he couldnt find the kinder joy.

like so sad.
anw i havent eaten it yet. i have other chocos in the fridge waiting for me too.
all bought by nigel.

&now im angry with nigel btw !
he make me hate him.

&he kept waking me up this morning to eat mac’s breakfast with him.

in fact, i was super full that i felt like puking this morning.
know why ?

cuz the dinner we ate at vivo was at carnivore.
a brazillian meat buffet restaurant.

unique dining experience.
at one side of the restaurant, there is a mini salad buffet bar which contains no meat at all.
because the meat is served in a different way.
the waiters are walking around the restaurant with a large skewer of meat &they go to each table &cut the meat for you right in front of your eyes, unto your plate.

its pretty cool right !
that night, the variety we had was : butterfish, pig shoulder, honey baked ham, beef steak, beef ribs, garlic bread, pineapple, chicken, bacon wrap chicken, chicken heart, lamb &i think maybe some others i cant rmb.

the chicken heart is so tiny ! &sherwin likes it A LOT.
he took 8 pieces of heart.
i took 1, which i cant bear to eat /:
so i gave to nigel :]

ate sooooo much.
because they just keep coming &coming. haha.
ofcourse you can say you dont want la.
but it’s rather tasty.

costs about $50 per person, incl drinks &incl GST.
i dont think i will return. cuz i guess im not such a big fan of meat.

i only love fish meat the most. especially the fish &chips kind x:

anw, came home &knock out.
super tired sia.
i even forgot i had tuition &forgot to cancel it !
die man.

okay, so like aside from that,
im trying to refrain from going out.
to save money &to concentrate on my studies in this meantime.

save money for ?
nigel says he wants to go for holiday at a beach resort.
so yeap ! we are planning it asap.
as i have 1 week holiday after my exams.
2 or 3days will be for the beach resort, &the rest of the days we’re going to KL.

actually i thought i might get my red river during that period of time.
but seems like im gna get it by this week. HOPEFULLY !
also, my face is super irritating me now );
which is quite weird since i didnt experience this for months alr.
why now !

so, where to go ?
bali ? bintan ? batam ? desaru ? redang ?

:D

i really want to get a hardcore massage done.

haha, another choice to make !
i want to buy a new phone when mummy comes back to sg.

i cannot stand my current phone. it always hangs on pple.
as i always get important phone calls (eg. tuition assignment, events, all money matters !)
&sometimes the person calls from a private line, i cant call back &its super wasted.

im also looking for a portable pc type.
here are my current choices !

the last one is some music type of phone, which i actually cannot stand.
but i like the design.
as for the 1st 2, i really want a phone with qwerty keypad !
its so t-mobile.

know this phone ?

the t-mobile sidekick.
i used to want this phone very much. ever since i saw hayden on heroes use it in 2007.
i did try to search it on ebay, but turns out, it cannot be used in singapore.

xiaxue has it i guess, &she paid lots of money to get it unlocked.
yet still, most of the functions cant operate either.

ahhh. cant wait to get new phone !
i want something COOL !

okay, back to studying. boohoo.

new one, for sale:

older ones, for sale:

join my d&g spree here : http://community.livejournal.com/sprees_sg/297931.html

–

num is selling d&g tees at like sgd50 !
&speaking of num, the havaianas sandals i eyed on for like a month, has run out of my size at every outlet, just when i was about to buy it.
just when they had that 20% discount promotion.
can you believe my luck ?

anw, that just means lots of pple bought it, which means lots of pple will be wearing it.
&i cant stand that.

oh haha.
just 1 single day out at town, &how many pairs of gladiators can you count ?
i swear this is as good as the ahlian-purple-&-black-stripe-tshirt trend.

okaaaay. enough of bitching.

just came back frm bf’s place.
went for a bbq last night at his cousin’s condo for her 20th bday.

nigel’s 10yo cousin how come your hair suddenly so long ?
nigel’s 10yo brother extensionnnnnnnnnn !
(the cousin goes off for a while then comes back)
&she says to me, my mum said i cant have extensions…

lol ?!

had a lot of fun. &became very smelly.
the downside of having long hair, every smell gets trapped in it.

wanted to go kbox. like the “branded” kbox.
but its like $30+++ per person you know ?!?!?! ?!?!?? ?!?!? ?!?!?
HAHA ok, excuse me for living under a rock all these years.
i swear i thought it was only $5 or maybe $10 per person.
seeing as all the cheenabingbongs are always overpopulating it.

oh ya, i bet they have the membership la.
probably cheaper or sth. lol.

ok so scratch that idea.
we watched stepbrothers instead.
its like m18, for i-dont-know what reason ?
the only form of breif nudity i saw were testicles from a famous actor.

haha, necessity for the word famous as i always assumed only underground actors would expose themselves since they’ve no reputation to lose anyway.

anyway stepbrothers was a great comedy.

ohyea, another movie, forgetting sarah marshall is m18 too.
which i totally didnt know so the sudden full exposure caught me off guard /:
that one’s a damn good movie too.

mila kunis from the movie is super hot ! remember jackie from that 70s show ?

love. her. eyes. !!!

anyway,
exam in 10days time.

byeeee :]

mm, who’s going for it ?
source: http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2008/09/party-party-party.html

//edit.
OMG I JUST REALISED KAYKAY WILL TOTALLY BE THERE &LIKE OMG. OMG. LIKE OMG ! I LOVE KAYKAY X:
ok. i want to go.
teehee. who else is going pls tell me k :D

we kinda have the same look on our faces.

mmmmhm. im having reflux now.
have no idea why.
suckstobeme.

so like, seoul garden buffet today !!!
freaking cheap cuz of student card. yay !

ate from 3pm to 6pm.
lovelyyyy.
i swear food always makes me happy.

guess who -_-

okay actually my camera dropped &i took those picts just to make sure it’s still working.
nonetheless we ate quite a lot. &i made pretty damn great soup !
total bill for 2 came up to $23+ only, incl free flow drinks.

anw some girl stared at me weirdly so i stared back &shouted “siao !”.
then nigel scolded me.
after awhile, i realised that, THAT’S JUST THE WAY HER FACE IS.
LOL !
she has a permanent amused look on her face.

poor thing.

so after that, went to wisma to look for a porter bag.
&woohoo there’s a big cotton on.
but the body on was a bit miserable.

&im. kinda. like. uhm. sorta. very. extremely. uhm. broke ?
);

ohwell right.
tuition fees are only coming like, tomorrow !

thinking of getting mummy to sign me a credit card.
i heard citibank’s allows free entries into zouk !
&all i need is a reason to own one.

anw, we went to tiongbahru to be stupid.

hi why is my nose so damned small ?

eee.

&&& i have this fetish of taking self-shots behind nigel’s shoulder :]

we go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong
together forever as shoo-bop sha whada whadda yippidy boom da boom

nigel was telling me about this miracle soap. haha.
apparently you can use it for almost anything &it works.
eyebags, wrinkles, pimples, rashes etc etc etc.
like his friend’s mum used it on her face &her eyebags got better.
&this other girl used it on her rashes &it improved.

i swear. these are pple we actually know.
&they wanted to take like before &after pictures to prove it works.

haha. nigel wants to be a business man.
&i want the soapppp !!!

anw its super expensive.
&i heard some are being sold to those facial shops.

maybe nigel might wna sell it. but he’s scared the response is not good ?
hmm. maybe.

(omg i got rashes on my inner thigh !)

anw i is damn slpy.
&i feel 10x guilty for skipping school = i will chiong my lab manual tmr, pwomis !

did you know my MALE dog has thick eyelashes &double eyelids ?
damn you !

p.s: sorry &thanks. sorry for my silly tantrums just because you did things for my own good &i did all the wrong things. yet you still treat me like a princess, cooking my food for me &putting them on my plate. you never fail to be the most nicest person in the world. even though i was the one that did all the bad things to you &started a quarrel out of nothing. &you are always the one to say sorry. just for me. thank you for sticking by me. even though im the worst gf in the world. i will try to love the stray cat too. sorry baby );

what a shit day.
well, its my fault for having too high expectations on a day both of us were completely free.
i saved up so many things to tell you.
yet until now, you still know none.

ohwell.
til next time then.

anw. i finally got to go to cotton on after so long.
ever since i came back frm kl, i just got the craze of buying cheap stuff.
&i just kept grumbling to go to cotton on.

heh heh.

i liked this dress quite much.



but notice how it totally sags at my bust area ?
there’s a wide gaping hole at my “cleavage” just waiting for food to fall in.

&hello, it’s alr size S !
but yea, im also fully aware aussie clothes have bigger cuttings.
i used to shop at cotton on a whole lot when i was in aussie.
the shops are way bigger, the variety is much better &the prices are tons cheaper than here.
i got like this $1 wrislet purse that looked like it was at least $10.
it’s lost now. somewhere.

singapore just has bad bad shopping.
even boring ol’ aussie can top it. like i wouldnt mind going back to aussie just for harbourtown !!

oh &for your info’s sake, france is a terribly expensive place to live in.
like terribly ! my mum says my cousins rarely go out in france.
even when they do, they pack their own lunches &stuff.
macd’s there is like sgd15 for a regular meal.
&the cheapest food you can get anywhere is maybe a sgd5 pathetic skinny sandwich.
maybe that’s why you always see people carrying &eating baguettes on-the-go.
that is, if you’ve ever been to france, which i have.

heh okay back to cotton on.

so i bought a jumper (the one hanging beside me in the abv pict).
it was so ugly but it’s oh-so-cottony-soft. ha ha.

&2-for-$30 shorts. teehee.

cute right ?
at least their bottoms could fit me better than their tops.

anw i so regret not noticing the “body on” shop beside cotton on.
i wouldve had a total panty &pj shopping spree.
hah. i just love pjs !

&btw, i havent been sleeping with aircon nor fan switched on for about 1-2wks now.
hah. arent i amazing :p

went to watch my sassy girl at the cathay.
urgh. its been a year, i think, since ive watched a movie at gv.
they have the bestest nachos, i swear.
i think im actually getting used to shaw’s &cathay’s nachos.
EW !!

okay, back to the movie.
so like 3/4 into the movie, i felt it was a waste of time.
just a story about a fucking obnoxious girl dating a fucking pussy boy.
she just has to call and say “be at the park at 2pm. now. uhm, are you on your way ?” and he rushes there immediately.
since he’s “born nice”.

but at the last 1/4 of the movie, the tables totally turn.
no, i do not mean the pussy boy becomes obnoxious &starts bossing her around.
BUT they finally explain in such a deep deep omg-we-sobbed way why she was such a total &complete nut to begin with.

ahh. so only the last 1/4 of the movie was worth it.
the 1st 3/4 was way too draggy &annoying.

there’s nth else to watch in the theatres !
&plus we have the dvds to everything else.
b-oring.

i want to go clubbing !
&ive to bring suthanee one day :D

heh okay.
so when i reached home (super early mind you),
i tried to be superwoman &bring BOTH dogs down.

ha ha. whilst fumbling my ass off trying to lock the door,
my dog was being totally melodramatic &screaming away.
&the other dog was doing his usual high-pitched yelping.

so i admitted defeat.
i left the other dog at home &brough just jayjay out instead.

there were puddles of water every where !
&jay had fun getting his paws wet :]

bye !
