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 ...

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 ...

nicolaephoria: Yin and Yang balanced and demystified
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2007/01/yin-and-yang-balanced-and-demystified.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Sunday, January 07, 2007. Yin and Yang balanced and demystified. I have had a cough for weeks since falling sick in early December. It just refused to go away; there was no phlegm or anything, just dry cough. And since falling sick, I always felt cold; in the bus, in the office, in church, even by the beach – anywhere with air-conditioning and a breeze. Then I had a conversation with CM a.k.a Josephine which led to my recovery. I am sure she would. I at home…. My cough...

nicolaephoria: I can fly
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2007/06/i-can-fly.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Friday, June 01, 2007. I’ve always wanted to hang glide. Correction. I’ve always wanted to fly. To know what it is like being a bird. It’s strange, I know, and I’ve not told anyone before. I probably mentioned that one of my dreams was to fly a single-seater jet. Growing older means your guts shrink. At 17 I would have done anything. Anything. Now I think about how long broken bones would take to mend and if they would at all. Driving up the mountains we could see Thun...

nicolaephoria: To nuke or not to nuke? You have the answer...
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2007/11/to-nuke-or-not-to-nuke-you-have-answer.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Saturday, November 24, 2007. To nuke or not to nuke? You have the answer. I found out from one of my discussions with our country heads that there is technology to "neutralise" the radioactivity of nuclear waste fuels. Then why can't the buyers send ALL grades of waste back to the sellers to be neutralised" asked moi. Because it would cost too much, was the logical answer. So that's why we have cases of radioactive waste being buried deep underground, albeit in sup...

nicolaephoria: This is my menses speaking
http://nicolaephoria.blogspot.com/2007/01/this-is-my-menses-speaking.html
Ni-KO-lee-FO-ria) a state of being. Monday, January 29, 2007. This is my menses speaking. I got into this disagreement over email with a friend. At the start of our discord he asked, “Is it that time of the month? 8221; which of course exasperates any female. Truthfully, we (women) can be rational beings even when we have our menses. I related my exasperation to CM (praise God she is not having menses) (although she has found a “cure” in her Eu Yan Sang concoction of. Work stress, maybe? CM: He said what?
