nicolaephoria: First day in London- addendum
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2007/04/first-day-in-london-addendum.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Wednesday, April 25, 2007. First day in London- addendum. We were halfway making dinner when we stopped getting water. Not a drip. Not even in the toilet! CH: You mean this place doesn't have water tank like we do back home? Couldn't get through to Thames Water. A check with a friendly neighbour revealed that there is no water in the whole of Chiswick. We had limited drinking water left so I insisted we go to Sainsbury to get water. Walking there:. Firstly, I'd be THE ...

Life's Quests: July 2009
http://life-quests.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Sorry and Thank You. We're moving to our new place soon! But it'll be mainly just the 4 walls, the ceiling and the floor. Yup there's no TV. No Internet. No phone line. No tables. No chairs. AND NO MATTRESS (for one night, I hope). It's me and the 4 walls, the floor and the ceiling. I wonder, how would I spend my time in my new home. I don't even know how to sit. Hahaha. well, we'll managed (n n)/. We're very thankful that we have a place to stay. And thanks so much. For the sauce,...

Life's Quests: June 2009
http://life-quests.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2009. Week after week after week, we've been diligently searching for units to rent and going inspections after inspections. Every week, we found a few that we really like and sent in our applications. Every unit we applied, we got rejected. This is so frustrating! Is it because we're new in Melb and thus do not have a financial/rental history? Or is it because I'm not employed and my hubby is the only breadwinner? Or is it because we don't look like nice people? Monday, June 22, 2009.

Life's Quests: October 2009
http://life-quests.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. Grow, Basil, Grow. The little basil I bought (n n)/. My colleague forwarded me an email on Adidas warehouse sale. From the looks of the brochure, it seems to be a good bargain. AUD 3 for socks, AUD 5 for shirts, AUD 20 for jackets, AUD40 for shoes, and so on. Not bad. So, hubby and I decided to have a look. The sales started at about 9 am. And we reached there about 10 am. And GOSH, cars are parked till the end of the road. Some are even parked on the grass areas! This is an exa...

Life's Quests: February 2009
http://life-quests.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. For XX years of life on earth, I have, at last, know how cherries taste like. Ok ok, I don't count those preserved, sweetened, red-dyed "fruit" on top of black forest cakes as REAL cherry. Thanks to my relatives, I get a chance to savour this delicious fruit! Very very nutritious and good for health too (n n). It comes in a very very very nice box. Top view of the box. Side view of the box. My serving at a time. YUMZ. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Oh yes. I can cook! To greater ...

nicolaephoria: November 2007
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Cute and funny don't take away pain, but they help. I went to the neighbourhood clinic for the first time since we moved in here and discovered that Dr Richard Lee is really cute and funny. About the cutest doctor since Dr Brad Davis, the neurologist I worked for part-time at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. Dr: Have you had this before? Me: Not this bad, not that I can remember. Me: Is it serious? He had a grave look, ok? My tol...

nicolaephoria: Nuked Coke
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2006/09/nuked-coke.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Saturday, September 02, 2006. Su, our office manager, was doing something at the pantry counter. I asked to be excused as I wanted to put my drink into the microwave oven. Su saw that my drink was dark brown in colour. 8220;Is that your coffee? 8220;No….” Hesitation. “It’s coke.”. 8220;Ya, I like my coke hot.”. No, that’s not quite true. It was more like a combination of the facts that:. 1 I hardly like any drink cold. 2 It takes away the gas. I saw that naked man, too.

nicolaephoria: New Year, New Beginnings
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-year-new-beginnings.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Tuesday, January 01, 2008. New Year, New Beginnings. It’s corny, I know. New year, new beginnings. That’s what my church in Singapore proclaimed for 2008. That God would do things He has never done before in our lives. GASP. The year just barely passed, 2007 – was proclaimed as the year of multiplication, increase, and fulfillment. In some ways that was true for me ☺. 1 Gain at between 2-3kg. Trust me, it is tough. 4 Save money, finally. I need an instructor :P. My dea...

nicolaephoria: January 2008
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Saturday, January 12, 2008. When I was younger there was a period in time when I would not say “good-bye” or “bye” to anyone. Instead, I would say “see ya! 8221; in a nonchalant way when in fact it was not. I am still aware that friends I made in certain phases of my life, I might probably never meet again ever. The thought used to make me cry. I told you she doesn’t eat chicken breasts.” I remember the next day CM, CH, me and some other people took a r...I could just ...

Life's Quests: March 2009
http://life-quests.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. My long awaited testimony (n n)/. Oh gosh, it's going to rain again," sighed my colleague. "I guess I’d better be stuck in office rather than in a terrible jam.". I looked out of my office window. Dark clouds loomed the sky above, sending thunders and lightning as messages of intimidation. Soon, rain poured, flooding the ground below with its abundance. I whispered a prayer. Oh yes, you guessed it correctly, I’m an idealist. Moreover, it’s going to be a garden. 8220;It is not goi...
