The Not So Great Holiday

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness


----
Word of the Day:
Vacances. Holiday in French
----

Friday was my last revision class for evidence and also my last class for this semester.
I'll be having a 2 weeks break before class commence again. 

Shouldn't I be happy about the holiday?
I'm in a very confuse state of mind.
I'm happy because it is holiday.
This term seems to work the magic in me and give me the happy hormone.
And also I'll be sending my 2 weeks in Melbourne. AGAIN.
But in another hand, I'm depress.
Because it is going to me a hassle holiday.
Why so?
I need to do my Trust assignment during the holiday.
I need to prepare for my evidence's V.I.V.A.
I need to prepare for my exams.
Best of all, I do not have enough time to rest.

I'll be back from Melbourne on the 13th of June while my class commence on the 15th. How tiring is that can you imagine. Further, going to Melbourne means endless crazy shopping, endless road trip, endless visiting and endless activities. So I can only do my assignment or study in the midnight. Which means, endless late night or endless sleepless night. Sigh.

Anyway, its winter in Melbourne, so it'll be cold and fun!!!

Happy Holiday fellow readers!!

Love,
Nichole

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good:
An old couple found my IC on the floor of a mall and send it back to me. And it happened to be the IC I got snatched few months back.

The Bad:
I eye witnessed a snatch thief incident today. A chinese lady walk passed my car. And seconds later, I heard a scream. Almost immediately a motorcycle speed passed and I saw 2 indian riding that vehicle. LM and I wanted to help but couldn't. First, we're both ladies. Second, we have Dad's laptop with us, which is usually the target of the snatch thief. The only thing I could do is to press on the horn. But it did not make much of aid. The passenger of the car in front came out to help. So are the bystanders. But nothing can be done. The evil speed off too far to be caught. I could have be the victim. Because I stop by the near by cobbler to pick up LK's heels. And the incident just happened 5 minutes after I went in my car. 

The Ugly:
I suffer Psychiatric injury due to the incident. It made me recall back the incident few months back. Where I got snatched. I'm trembling throughout the journey home and even after I'm home. And I immediately suffer diarrhea due to witnessing the incident.




Sincerely wish the lady all the luck she needs and may she lost nothing but an old purse without much money.  

As for the evil indians, may the bad karma be with you.

Love,
Nichole

The Greatest Rejection

Quote of the Day:
'Laughing is such a waste of time. You spend so much time in laughing but doing nothing,' by Ms Naveena, my Land Law lecturer.
----


Okay, here's the dirt. For the pass few months, two pursuer confessed.
One from Liverpool and one from somewhere near London.

I immediately rejected the Liverpool one. Because of a very personal reason. And upon the rejection, this dude take it very well and we became really good friend. We can talk bout anything and everything, for hours!! And seriously, we had great time chatting with each other. If isn't because of that very personal reason, I might have give him a chance. But too bad lar...

And today, I rejected another one. You ask why I do not reject him immediately? Well, that's because I though of giving him a chance to impress me. Further, I have a little bit of good feelings towards him. And why do I reject him now? Because I find him really really boring. We have nothing in common. His way of pursue me is so not obvious, I will not know he is trying to impress me if isn't because he confessed before. We are such different type of person. Sigh. And the spark isn't there... Guess I just like him as a friend.

I don't know what is his reaction after reading the email. Hopefully we could be friends again, like the Liverpool guy.

Why lar no better pursuer one!!!!
Nevermind, I'm still young. Like what Bee said, I can find one at UK. 
YES!!!!

Love, 
Nichole

The Wonder of Lotion and LipBalm

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness


----
Quote of the Day:
'At some point, I love our government so much. If isn't because of this kind of government, I wouldn't have so many court case against them and I wouldn't be earning,' Mr Arnold, my very own Trust and Equity lecturer.
----


You know how sometimes your room fully filled with sample lotion and stuff?
You know how freebie freaks like me always go for free stuff?
You know how fragrance promotion always come with matching lotion and bath gel?
You know how sometimes promoter induce you to buy something that you don't really need?

That's what happened to me and my lovely toilet. 
Mom nagged me almost everyday, asking me to clear up the whole basket-full of stuff.

The basket consist of: several bottles of lotion, several bottles of sun-lotion, a bottle of after sun lotion, several bottle of samples, several bottle of bath gel, several bottle of deodorant, a bottle of body spray, several skin care product, several hair care product, plentiful of facial and body mask, a bottle of hair lotion, nail-remover, hair-remover cream etc.

So, I have to finished all before its expiry date.

After few months of pampering myself with all these products, my skin surprisingly became smoother and fairer; My hair became soft and silky; And my cracked heels heals!!

So, now I'm going to share some beauty tips with you fellow reader.
  1. For cracked heels, use lip balm. Not lip gloss. Better still if its sample or unwanted/finishing lip balm.
  2. For skin, use body-scrub once every 2 weeks. Lotion yourself after every shower. Use sample or free facial mask or expired facial mask(Not peal-off mask) to mask your body once a month or more frequent as you desire. 
  3. To prevent terrible BO, use deodorant after every shower.
  4. For bikini line, use hair-removal cream. DON'T SHAVE!!! Shaving caused rough skin and itch. Hair-removal cream is perfect for bikini line as it smoothen your skin and it doesn't itch. BUT ONLY BIKINI LINE OKAY, nothing further than bikini line. Of course legs can la.
  5. For hair, use coconut oil 2 to 3 times a week before shower. Just apply on the end of your dry hair, leave it for 5 minutes while you do some sits-up or push-ups, then wash off the oil with normal shampoo. After shampoo, hair conditional. Then, blow dry your hair. To prevent fuzzy unmanageable baby hair, use serum or hair lotion. Also, use hair mask once a week, on the day that you do not use coconut oil of course.  
  6. Face, scrub once or twice a month as you desire. Wash your face ONCE a day only. Don't over torture your face. Use your trusty mask once a week. After washing your face, use toner and moisturizer as you desire. Because some skin can't use tone and some can't use moisturizer. If lets say you've washed your face in the morning but you went out for sports or something and your face felt oily or sweaty, use wet tissue or cleansing facial wipe. Too much of washing will cause dryness. Girls, removing your make-up before bed is very important. One more thing, apply toner then only mask. And if your have facial serum, toner, serum then only mask. As for nature healthy blush like mine, it's the help of bird-nest and chinese herbal soup.

That's all I guess. Any more enquiries about beauty tips, please do not hesitate to ask!!! I'll love to share it.

And, because this is not an ad nor paid to write, so I'm not revealing the brand of products I'm using. If you really so desire to know, pm me. 


Love, 
Nichole


 P/s: Forgive me if I give you a box-less perfume as birthday present because I'm so dying for the perfume's free gift and it's lotion, but not the perfume. Don't worry, the perfume is new. I never use before. I have plentiful of perfume at home....!!! Need to dispose some off...

Wesak Day

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness


----
Movie of the Day:
Jane Austen Book Club

Last Saturday is the Wesak Day.
No idea whats that?
I'm such a nice person, I've googled it for you. 

Vesak is an annual holiday observed traditionally by practicing Buddhists in South Asian & South East Asian countries likeNepalSingaporeVietnamThailandCambodiaMalaysiaSri LankaMyanmarIndonesiaPakistan and India[1] Sometimes informally called "Buddha's birthday," it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment Nirvana, and passing (Parinirvana) ofGautama Buddha.


Source: Wikipedia

I remember, during my year 4 of high school, we need to do this assignment/report about us helping out or doing some community work. So I've seek help from Uncle John and he offer me a volunteer job in the Tibetan lama monastery that he runs/own. That is my first volunteer job and also my first Wesak Day celebration. Of course, I'm there just intend to do the job, take some pictures showing I'm doing the community work, and home to write the report. 

However, little did I know, I'm kind of 'attached' to the Wesak Day celebration. I went to the monastery every Wesak day, not for the volunteer job but to read the chanting and shower the buddha and also get some blessing. I'm not those hard-core ones thou. I just find the blessing thing really played well in mentally-confidence-boasting and showering the buddha I take it as a respect to the religion. 

However, this year, there's a slight difference. Wesak eve, we (whole family) went to this Thai Buddhism Monastery. There're so many people, so packed, and everyone there seems to be so happy. We did the lighting ritual and the new luck/better luck ritual. And then there's humongous fire works. It's all another different way of celebrating the Wesak Day. Of course, we also did go to the Tibetan Lama monastery the next day morning.

And, from all these prayer and blessing and ritual, I realize, regardless what background you're from, regardless what skin colour you have, regardless your professionalism, regardless your LV bag, regardless your age, regardless your nationality and regardless of any difference, everyone seems to put down their armor and befriend with people in the monastery, treat people with respect and help out others. In normal day life, everyone will put on their sharp armor and be very suspicious of things happened around them as crime rate increased by day. But in this very holly day, none of this suspicious arise and the rate of any imaginable crime or theft or cheating or scam decrease or would it ever happened in the monastery. In fact, people donate to the monastery with open heart, they cook for the monastery and also do all kind of voluntary work in order to get the mercy from the buddha on this day for what one had done throughout the year.  

A very meaningful day, don't you think so?

No picture were taken because I'm wholly there for prayer and ritual and blessing, not to do a journal about it. Just that it strike me this morning and I thought of writing about it.

Okay, got to run for class. 
Have a great day.


Love,
Nichole
