I AM SHERYL

A new week has begun!

2010-03-29T17:52:00.002+08:00

I'm hoping this week will be better than the last!

Not that it was horrible. But many things just didn't turn out the way I'd've wanted and I was feeling so out-of-form, physically, mentally and emotionally. Not exactly the bee's knees. I'd been asked quite a few times 'Hey Sheryl, what's wrong/what happened to you today? You don't seem yourself.'

I guess I was just drained.

And life started throwing punches. That I didn't have the strength to dodge. Quite a few things came crashing down. It was difficult to breathe, or be strong. But I found God's love again, which gave me strength to hold on. Cos the race is alr won.

I learnt valuable things.

God's grace is O:
I know v cliche lah. But I only realised the value of this truth after last week.

Anyway, the weekend was bizzy.

Esp w Project 3G which took up the whole of my Saturday:

But it was fun!

My aims for this week are:

to get enough rest,
keep up/ketchup w commitments,
shape up to make up for the 2 weeks I couldn't exercise properly cos of ankle! not training properly is boring. (and omg today during PE we did standing broad jump and inclined pull-ups and I only jumped 175 and was more tired than expected for IPU. Can't believe I used to jump 197 and do 27 IPU!)

Today was quite fine.

The lessons weren't the usual pollywoppus, esp Econs. :p

Got a new load of work to do though, what with Preliminary Ideas for Project Work and quizzes to study for, tutorials to do in advance... bcos there's Touch Rugby stuff on Tues-Thurs.

So I guess I won't be online a lot for this week!

I find my bedroom floor the most conducive place to concentrate!

For anything. Studying, reading, quiet time, music, psycho-ing myself to bangsai, etc.

I have to spend more time there.

And not refreshing Facebook every 10 minutes.

K i guess i should start now.

This is a talk-to-myself post. I hope next post will be less boring.

Geutbai!

I think I might start blogging again!

2010-03-23T23:18:00.003+08:00

I think I just have to get used to letting the whole world know my feelings! O: But srsly, I'm feeling so self-conscious right now. The last time I blogged was more than a year ago I think!

Anyway twentyten has been so... strange.

I've not really been myself. Everything just feels different. Different expectations, people, atmosphere, school, struggles and stuff to smile at. And stuff that I did regularly last time, I stop doing. Completely. It's not so much of being busier. It's true I am, but I think I just keep thinking and thinking and overthinking and get lost in my thoughts. I just thank God for friends, old and new. Though I've not been as much of a 'social butterfly', as Krystal calls it, as last time, I made a lot of new friends and they're all so stinking nice. I need to stop overthinking and let go of all the paranoia, and not be afraid to just let go and be who I am. Though I thank God for keeping me alive this whole time 8)

Whoa sounds so Disney channel HAHA sorry for dropping this emo crap so fast O:

Talking abt crap, WALLAU I HAVE CONSTIPATION AGAINNNN.

I lost my eat-v-little-veggie-but-still-shit streak!!! D8<

Oh well, it was sweet while it lasted.

Can't believe that one year later I'm still blogging abt the same things!

Msning Hoiyan is so fun. It's always in caps.

WHOA. I need to update the world about the changes in my life.

K I shall not elaborate at all. Anot I will go on forever.

No more piano!
I'm starting to appreciate jazz. Thanks to my sister and Michael Buble.
I stopped my kpop craze. (Except YG)
I got ungrounded. (!!!!!!!!)
JC now.
I'm shy now. K shyer.
NO MORE CHINESE.
Touch Rugby baby. (No more m___s_____ HAHA)
Net leader. I miss Johnathan. <3>

whoa sian cannot think of one last thing to make it 10.

Anyway I admit twentyten has been quite disappointing and not as exciting as I expected, but I'm believing for better!

K this post quite long alr but I haven't posted abt TODAY.

I didn't go for training today bcos my ankle was hurting quite badly even after 5 days. So I went to see the sinseh! It was a v memorable and educational experience.

Firstly, ACUPUNCTURE OMG.

Cos it was still a little swollen.

2nd time getting acupuncture in my life! O:

Stung a bit :/

Secondly, the sinseh SO PRO!!!!!!

She just lightly rubbed the painful areas repeatedly and VOILA it wasn't painful anymore!!! She didn't even use force, just touching the skin. To think I was mentally preparing myself for immense pain before that hahaha.

Thirdly, she said 'whoa ni3 de4 ji1rou4 hen3 da4'

Jirou is not chicken lah. Anyway I said it was cos of judo last time and she said it was good but no I said always gets v stiff esp in the morn. So she started teaching me how to massage it and I tried and she said I caught on v well and that I HAVE TALENT HAHAHA. If I fail A's I go be her intern. But be sinseh a bit sian, everyday rub people's foot. But anyway she's so nice. Still say if anything happen next time just call her, got free consultation. I wanna ask her how to lose weight hahaha.

She was inspiring, I could feel her passion.

Whoa not bad blogged quite a lot!

I realise this post is like LIFE. Got it's ups and downs.

I don't think anybody will see this though. Who visits a blog after one year of no posts lah pls.

And I feel v paiseh if I post the link on the class blog. All the Computing people's blogs so pro. And I don't think anybody will click on my link lah, I so loner in class.

K beauty sleep~ hahaha.

I wanna thank God for:

2009-09-05T00:18:00.002+08:00

letting me go for the Silicon Valley trip.
the pass in my Gr7 piano exam.
blessings + blessings + blessings.

I didn't deserve to pass Gr7. And I certainly don't deserve the SV trip either. On top of that, I didn't spend a single cent today. Tingshan made a burrito for me for recess, James paid for the buffet, John treated B&J's. And my mom found $10 in a faith pledge envelope she wanted to use (that was from my drawer). I know, I can't believe it either.

Thank You Jesus.

2009-08-24T00:48:00.001+08:00

i think my dad reads my blog.

10 reasons why i do not like batu pahat.

2009-08-24T00:31:00.003+08:00

1 i get swollen ankles from getting bitten by mosquitoes

2 hence, bathing/washing feet is painful

3 bathing/washing feet/toilet trips are very undelightful considering the hygiene level and amount of insects lurking in the toilet.

4 hence, you wanna get out of there asap, resulting in constipation cos peeing alr feels super long. srsly, i hv a phobia of the toilet there.

5 you get stuffed w a lot of nice food cos all the food is nice there but gives you the super disgusting indigestion feeling after.

6 puts you in super sloth slack mode. (even though you get to watch tons of movies but ultimately it's rly rly rly bad cos of the difference in environment between there and sg)

7 you hv to battle the slack mode when back in singapore

8 return to sg in the middle of the night when there's school tmr.

9 on top of that, you hv to unpack, get rid of the batu pahat smell, treat your swollen ankles, and complete your homework, which include 1 v long math worksheet, 2 chem worksheets, 1 v v v v v v v v long zuowen which you hv no clue how to even start on, and start studying for a chinese culture test one day later.

10 oh and get scolded for not knowing how to speak hokkien in hokkien when you travelled 3-4 hours to see her.

oh in case anybody's wondering, it's impossible to do any homework there, bcos you're either being attacked by flies or overwhelmed by the heat.

okay my blogging skills deteriorated. look at the interestingness of this post.

2009-08-19T20:05:00.001+08:00

WOW it's been so long since i last updated!!!
just didn't feel like blogging.
and now i do.

anw, just some updates!

1) GRADESE7EN NIGHTMARE IS OVER.

2) BT2 is over.
sciences went down. by quite a lot. like srsly, shock & horror O: Never thought i'd get less than A1 for NY sciences. like usually i get high A1s.
IH improved by a grade. Satisfying, yet not, bcos it's still a v low grade.
Math was not bad, steady improvement, A1 still 8)
Chinese Paper1 improved, but Paper2 still sucked. i tried v hard pls, can't stand it when i d see good enough/lack of improvement despite my efforts. i know that Paper2 was kinda hard but still, i d like that my efforts weren't 'rewarded'.
LA was rlyrlyrly not bad i got 14/20!!! A2 yay.
Right now idk if i should go back to not rly caring about non-math/sci since i'm still not happy with my improvements in non-math/sci. as in i d need to put in so much effort to make my sciences go up to high A1s.
The non-math/sci improved this time, but then it wasn't satisfying. like srsly, i'm rather disappointed. okay, v disappointed. it's like hard work doesn't pay off in some areas. 8/
so anw, idk if the non-math/sci slight improvement will pull up the average score or MSG. but i d like it that i'm doing so badly for my best subjects. but i know i hv to do sth about my non-math/sci. but anw i did sth about it and it still kinda sucks. so YES, i will conc more on sciences alr. bcos for BT2 i totally chucked my science out the window. (you see, talking to myself makes me think better) (HA, hope i d become like my sister and mother, though. but i d talk to myself aloud, and i can't think to myself bcos my thoughts are like rapid-fire i just get more confused. i can't conclude on anything. so i must type things out. cos talking to myself is just... weirdddd. no offence to sister and mother though 8) )

3) my choices for GCP are: 1 US, 2 Kyushu Japan, 3 UK (and i'm rly excited about it!!! >8D)

4) i was doing my devotions about a month ago and in the Daily Bread it taught me to treasure my friends. Even my sch friends. I used to think, oh, won't be worth as much investing my super-scarce time, bcos we'd hardly be in contact after JC or even after this year. but yea god changed my thinking and now i try to care more for my classmates. sorry guys for last time :P

5) i've experienced the worst days and the most number of worst days so far this year. all aspects of my life just falling in on me O: but i guess it's better now. esp since piano is over. still grounded for this life and the next, but i d really mind, cos i can still go shopping sometimes, HAHA. cos i didn't rly hang out a lot in the first place. i just d like to not hv a closure for the day. e.g. The Edge is the climax, dinner w the youth is closure. e.g. half school days is the climax, hanging out after that is closure. (as in it's not abt the DAY. what i mean is the most down-times and problems.)

6) i like k-pop/hip hop now. like not cos of the singers, but for the music itself. i think one reason is i often find myself w/o the right song w the right lyrics to fit my mood. i like generally pop but english pop lyrics are like so bleagh and are mostly about love and sex which is so roll-eyes. k-pop is also mostly about love but i d understand the lyrics what, so i like it. and best thing is bcos i d understand the lyrics, my thoughts won't be interrupted, whether writing an essay, daydreaming, doing math or sci or talking or thinking to myself. oh good christian pop is hard to find, if not i'd stick to that. as in i know christian pop bands but not satisfying. 8/ oh. i also like acoustic style songs but doesn't fit all moods e.g. HYPER.

7) i finally bought a new jacket (for regular use). after 2 years? less more? dunno. but, yea, yay.

8) my maternal grandpa passed away. as in, it's a sad thing so d expect me to be happy about it.

9) okay idk but many things happened, like srsly. nv had such a 'power-packed' year. i'm also getting old(er) so memory not so good hahaha.

sheryl

it's words like these that help me survive thnq!!!!! yall dunno how much it helps!

2009-07-20T02:22:00.002+08:00

" keep going sheryl!"

"hope you finish soon."

BAKA!!!!!!

2009-07-18T13:11:00.002+08:00

Why dyou let these things shake you from what you're supposed to be doing?

Why dyou keep coming if you know you d want to?

Why dyou point at ppl and rebuke ppl of their wrongdoings when you're the same?

Why dyou continue doing that when you know it?

2009-07-02T22:41:00.003+08:00

When I like pee in the pool I d even dare to go to the same pool again.

I remember when I saw a deer peeing in a river before and I never dared to swim in the sea hahaha. Cos the river will lead to the sea what.

And the pool will be cleaned and there will be diffusion and by the time the riverwater reaches the sea obviously it'll be super clean bcos of the branching-off and the delta whatever and + and - water.

But I still think it's dirty.

So I CANNOT understand why people can dump TOXIC wastes into LAKES (which are not v circulated) and expect people to use it or even live beside it. it's just irresponsible and gross.

hmph!

2009-06-27T01:47:00.001+08:00

I wanna be invisible.

I wanna vanish.

2009-06-26T12:22:00.002+08:00

Genesis 2:7

the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

I had a sudden revelation during the service at Mandai that the dust that the Bible was referring to was not dust as in dustbunnies, but dust as in earth from the ground.

[during the funeral on the past 2 days, I was afraid to look at my grandpa's body. They made us stand beside the coffin as people passed it and wished us well at the same time, but I never looked. I was afraid I would rmb it. But at Mandai, the relatives had to take one last look at the body and I had no choice. I tried to look like I did but my eyes caught a glimpse of it. He looked so lifeless. He was, but comparing it to him sleeping, you could tell it lacked that sth. It was then that I had the revelation.]

[And I was even more convinced of it when we went to collect the ashes. I didn't want to go but my mom made me go in.]

After our whole life has passed, we only return to the ground the same thing as we entered.

It is not that we are part of the carbon cycle, but that only God can breathe life into dust so that it becomes you.

[I was trying v hard to stay strong today. Many people were weeping. I don't like being in situations or places like those. The whole atmosphere of Mandai was unbearable. At certain parts of Mandai, you could smell things. Even the slightest whiff was unbearable for me. Both the rotting smell and the soap smell. I couldn't stand being in that place. I didn't hear what the pastor said, I don't know what the message was about. The whole time there, I was only focused on getting out as soon as possible. That was all I could think of.

I didn't wanna take part in the ash collection or look as the coffin entered the furnace. Why put yourself through the emotion. If you've accepted that he has gone to be with God, a place where you know he will be very happy in, then you don't need to do those things. You can miss him, but the body doesn't mean anything. You only hv memories. I miss him too.]

I hate it that I have to receive all the rubbish.

I hate it that I was grounded for >6 weeks for freaking shouting at parents for ONE freaking time. And now they just make the statement 'your attitude is very bad' and say I'm not allowed to go out. And I only asked like twice in the whole of June Holidays. I'm SO escaping.

I hate it that now I'm back from Youth Camp, my grandpa just passed away. I'm rly happy for him, bcos he doesn't have to suffer anymore and he's with Jesus now, but now I'm unable to face the last week of June holidays.

Now I have to finish the rest of my homework while attending the funeral. And I cannot concentrate bcos I keep thinking of my grandpa. I have to stay strong bcos of my mom and my ahma. My dad is tired/tied up juggling funeral and work, and esp bcos it's after church camp, he has a lot of things to take care of at work. So my parents vent their anger on me, throw their tantrums on me, and I can't even stay up late to talk to my friends about my day. They grounded me and now they want to totally cut me off from my friends. It's bad enough having to socialise online, and now I can't even do that. And I couldn't stand the sight of my ahma breaking down today. It was just excruciating having to watch that. She told me to be happy that my grandpa is in Heaven now. And I also can never understand how she will feel now that it's just her and the maid. She'll be so lonely now.

I rly don't want to miss Care Group tomorrow. I want to hear everybody's Youth Camp testimonies. I want to get away from the whole atmosphere of death and grief and mourning. I know it's my grandpa but I don't want to be in that place again. But I have to be responsible/filial and I have to be there for my ahma.

Yea, I didn't really know my grandpa, but he's somebody I knew, and was comfortable around, and was familiar with. He is the first person that has passed away whom I've ever really known personally. So yes, I am sad. The fact that he's dead only sunk in when I was in the shower today.

Everything from Youth Camp seems to have washed away.

And I don't wanna be the punching bag anymore.

I want to run away from everything. Cliche, but yes.

I reallyreally want to.

Oh and on Sunday night I think, somebody with a v weird hotmail (like those that you think are made by viruses cause it was like 6d68c7d6v6c@hotmail.com) msned me and it was a guy named daniel. I asked which daniel. He just said "Daniel lo" (so it's not a virus...) so idk which daniel it is he said from taiping. And I've nv been to taiping/connected to it in anyway. And my msn is like my full passport name so there's no way he could have gotten the wrong msn. then right after I said a lot of HUH'S and "daniel from where?" and asked him if it was from church/judo/??? (cos i'm like, in a girls' sch, duh. and i d talk to hcjudo), he said "i gtg liao" LIKE WTH!!!

Anw, I didn't add him. I didn't block him either. But he hasn't talked to me since and my comp hasn't done any weird things so...

"In Every Bad Experience

In 2 Kings 5, we find two people who had bad things happen to them. First is a young girl from Israel who was taken captive by the Syrian army. Second is Naaman, the commander of the army, who had leprosy. even though the girl had good reason to desire bad things for her captors, she offered help instead. Israel's prophet Elisha, she said, could heal Naaman. Eager to be cured, Naaman went to Israel. However, he was reluctant to follow Elisha's humiliating directions. When he finally did, he was healed, which caused him to proclaim that Israel's God is the only God.

God used two bad things - a kidnapping and a deadly disease - to change Israel's enemy into a friend. Even when we don't know why something bad happened, we know that God has the power to use it for good.

His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour;

The bad may have a bitter taste

But sweet will be the flower.

God is the master of turning burdens into blessings. "

"Time to breathe in and let everything out."

2009-05-03T00:06:00.002+08:00

Things keep changing

And we change too

But through everything

One thing that stays the same is

I keep holding on to God

As the days pass

Things get more difficult

More complicated

Feelings grow numb

Do things blindly aimlessly

Go through the motions

Sort of hv/do more cool things

But none of it rly matters

Try to do everything right

But stray

Dk where to turn to

Talk to God, feel like 4 walls

Wanna talk to ppl, scared they busy/playing

Keep it all in

Try to move on

Look ahead

But everything's a blur

+ weak

+ loads

+ dk where to go

But in everything

1 thing that I keep going back to is God

Even when it seems He's not there

And need Him so much so much

but seems He's nowhere near.

But I keep going back

Keep holding on

Deep in my heart I guess I know that You are Lord/love/the everlasting

Bcos even when my brain says it's stupid

I'm still going

Even when I d wanna

I still am

And I won't stop

I will keep holding on to You.

Monday was crazy.

Sunday night was crazier.

Idk very much.

So idk what to do abt it for the rest of the week/life.

I just want to lie down and get fatigue-free.

But for now, let's get myopic.

Today was supposed to be the most productive day but it ended up to be even less productive than ytd.

Ended up so exhausted that nothing went in and also KOed on bed.

Looks like I hv to study in the weekend which means... :/

Anw, this is from the

Which 407'09 family member are you? quiz on Facebook

Result:

Jokers' gang! (Huaimin, Krystal, Sheryl, Soo Chin)

Disrupt lessons at times with big commotions and lame jokes ( not counting Soo Chin here) , but on the whole, rather concerned about work, and joyful people who are keen on their CCAs and are loyal to one another.

Jokes not always lame but always extremely hilarious and is about the lesson so we help keep the class awake and focused on the lesson. Therefore, disrupt is the wrong word!

It is the 3 sciences and maths which i'm better at but requires a lot of practise/revision and there is so much hw bcos school has no time for a few weeks for us to have either e-learning or hold the block tests so it has to be done during curriculm time throughout term 2 which totally sucks, with no lessening of homework. And most ppl in 407 haven't started ANY revision yet bcos they have the whole freaking weekend but I hv church and I do want to attend church so I had to start revision like last week thnq v much and I'm rather behind schedule bcos of stupid unproductive day on which I scheduled to revise most topics.

CHEAPO-AUNTIE DAY!!!

2009-04-21T18:12:00.003+08:00

Jolly 407 had a class outing to B&J's free cone day!!! 8DDD

We actly have extra chinese classes on Tuesday after sch on top of the fact that we are dismissed the latest (2.35) on Tuesdays compared to the rest of the week.

But this time, we didn't! HA!

And the rest of the classes usually cheat and d hv extra classes, but this time, they did! HAHAHA!

It was an agonizing wait for 171 at the busstop but enjoyable w the best classmates in the world!

We were headed to United Square's outlet and the journey there was v funny! Who knew 407 had such aunties? A few were walking rly quickly and the rest of us had difficulty catching up! Well anw when we finally reached there, along w many other HC students, it was quite a long queue but it moved quite quickly.

But the best thing is...

I SAW KIMBERLY SOH!!!!!

Heehee so funny we were like trying to find the tail of the queue bcos the queue went around the whole mall when I heard a familiar scream: SHERYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I immediately knew who it was and I saw her and it was so exciting seeing herrrrrrr~

(We also saw another VFC-er called Katherine and she tried to blackmail me by taking a photo of me in NY uniform but failed due to my fast reflexes. HA!)

Anw I joined her in the queue (8p) and pangseh-ed 407 (paiseh!) and I had a rly good time talking w her and her 2 friends. Found out she's also going for Youth Camp in June!!!!! She actly couldn't go but she prayed and her parents let her~ I promised her we would watch the sunrise tgt 8)

I joined 407 in the queue again after that but didn't take the 2nd cone bcos it's fatty and I am just recovering from my cough/throat thing anw.

Anw, I thank God bcos I was actly quite dead after sch and wasn't sure if I would go bcos I wanted to revise for the 3 sciences and math block tests in the next 2 weeks. But I thought about it and decided to take a chance and went! And now I'm like so sugar high / happy / cheered up and I'm whizzing through all my revision!

I'm rly grateful to God for that bcos I rly needed that extra boost and now I'm praying that I'll be able to go for leaders' caregroup tonight O:

And that was how my First Free Cone Day went 8)

Through You

Blind eyes are open

Strongholds are broken

'Cause it's You who gives me strength

(k i know the lyrics are wrong)

Good News Singapore was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sad that we had so much homework for the weekend, if not I think there were some people that were rly interested in going.

And though I was sick for the weekend, I was glad I went to see God's power working in the lives of people that are so hungry for God and also seeing people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and I believe all those that already know God have also been touched greatly.

God did not hold back his power. Even though in numbers GNS was many times smaller than those held all over Africa, but it is the same God and the same power and to say it was phenomenal is not enough to describe just a fraction of it.

Maybe some of you might not believe the legitimacy of the miracles that were done, but we're doing it all for God's glory, not ours, so there's no reason to fake it.

Some things that I experienced/wanna share:

This woman who had ovarian cancer was in great pain and couldn't stand up bcos of the pain. My parents were in charge of the wheelchair section and my dad wheeled her in. She was feeling quite hopeless and didn't believe it when my dad told her that God was gonna heal her of the cancer. But my dad said :Receive your miracle today. So the service went on and she decided to believe God and go up for healing when it was time for prayer. So I guess those that were at GNS saw that lady testifying of God's power on stage on the last night and not only could she stand upright, she was running around the stage. Haha :P Praise God!!!

Secondly, I thank God for giving me parents that believe in Jesus I guess?

I was thinking, if I wasn't born in a family that believed in Christ, and I received a flyer about GNS, I would like think it was all a scam and stuff, due to my very stubborn, disbelieving and assuming spirit haha. Yea and I would nv have come to know Jesus as Lord. But it was when I decided to 'try it out', that I came to know God. I failed many times of course, and if it wasn't for the times that I was 'forced' to church did I see Jesus working in other people's lives, which led me to finally make the decision to ask Jesus to come into my own life and to reach out to him and get touched.

Next, there were some people at GNS who thought that Rev. Reinhard Bonnke was the one that healed them. But wasn't it Jesus that died for them and took away all their pain? Isn't it God's power that took away their diseases and God that healed them? Then if they believed in the wrong thing, how did they get healed?

I was feeling rly confused and also skeptical in a way, and asked my parents about it. My dad said that that is just the way God is. He is so full of mercy and grace that He decides to heal them because they want to be healed, even if they're believing in the wrong thing. That is so true! After all, we are all sinners saved by grace.

The whole GNS thing is so wonderful and it was rly rly rly good news for Singapore. It may only be several thousand that was reached at GNS, but God is still working in Singapore. His power is moving across the nation and every citizen will hear of Him! I pray that these people will make the decision to choose God as their savior and devote their lives to him, because he is the everlasting god.

Well, today, Stanley treated me to Starbucks 8)))

Awesome green tea frappe.

It was worth the long wait (cos they screwed up our order).

Thank you 8)

And 163 was taking so long and we had a lot of time to talk and he told me some stuff haha some quite hilarious but nvm c-kretz!

I thank God for my net.

For Esther Lye for staying strong through everything and chasing after God so wholeheartedly.

For Clifton who is so sincere in prayer and who seeks God so earnestly.

For Johnathan who is a great net leader who does his best and is a warrior for Christ! Overcome things with God's help!

For Stanley who is the coollest net member and for opening up about things and has a child-like heart that Jesus likes.

I thank God for giving me so much happiness and blessing me so much in the midst of a no-life crisis.

(oh no it's not proportionate! haha)

(And i didn't crop out sth)

Maybe you've seen this in the MRT, the newspapers or received the flyer.

But if you want to hear good news, need a miracle, want to see miracles being done, or just kaypo. It's okay!

Come on down to Singapore Indoor Stadium on either of 10-12 April 7.30pm.

There is also a special service on Sunday morning. We are having Planetshakers for worship!

Many people are going to be there. It's a mega event like people queueing up at 9am to get in when it starts at 7.30pm. So you better come too!

You cannot miss out on this!!!

Bring anyone and everyone who needs a miracle, and if you don't need a miracle, you hv to listen to this piece of good news and witness the power of God. Blind will see, mute will sing, deaf will hear, crippled will walk, diseases healed etc. You can see why I spend my weekends in church.

If you wanna come feel free to tell me bcos so we can meet and bcos I have special admission passes so you don't hv to queue up at 9am haha.

God is love.

2009-04-05T22:56:00.005+08:00

This is a text I received today:

":) you made my day a happy one today. Thx. :)"

SO SWEETT!!!

I couldn't stop smiling after that 8)

Dunno if he reads my blog but I think he'll kill me if he sees this :P

But I d even know what I did to make him so happy.

So funny always act shy, zhaosia etc. And listening to all my nonsense and rantings during our long commute to/from net.

He's just like my lil bro 8)

Speaking abt my 3 boys, I miss Marcus!!!

I know i alr hv Clifton and Stanley but I v greedy.

But instead of seeing him 4x a week, I only see him 3x a week.

And d rly talk during that 3x.

Anw, I prolly had the best weekend in months.

I guess I have been RLYRLYRLY stressed out. Didn't realise it until now.

I just like totally didn't look at homework or school stuff this weekend and went to enjoy myself.

(Anw I found out that there's only 2 chem ws and i've alr finished 1 of them.)

On Friday I was too tired after school to have last minute piano practice so the piano lesson was horrible.

Then after that was too tired/having headache cos of insufficient sleep to run.

Thank God for net I was v energized and also it was a gr8 net session! Everybody was much chattier than usual and also God's presence was clearly felt though it was quite crap worship haha.

(oh and guess what Stanley found a super quick way w minimal walking to go to Clifton's house YES thnq Jesus for Stanley.)

And my parents came back from Giant and bought like TONS of fruits cos they said v cheap like 5 super big/sweet mandarin oranges for 99c!!!

So I had a lot of fruit for the weekend and therefore, avoided constipation despite all the crap that I ate.

(Yami Yoghurt, free Cafe Cartel bread, stolen bits of cake from Jordan, etcetcetc)

Also had eye dissection on Friday which was v interestingggg!

Although the smell of my super big eyelashy half decaying cow eyeball was making me puke, it was quite fun.

And thank God the black eye juice didn't spurt out on my wonderfully white square hongzi due to my excellent cornea-cutting skills (and mostly God's blessing.)

Can't post pics up but I think I alr showed the pics to everyone in my church haha.

Anw Saturday tennis lesson was totally CRAP.

Missed SEVEN balls.

And those balls that I hit was like going all over the place.

Arthur was laughing at me but I am determined to catch up!

Cos next week I hv the whole hour w/o him to hone my skills and reveal the inner tennis-eur in me.

WAHA.

Arthur: Hv a nice time in China 8)

Then went to chiong 2.4 at the gym.

I have been slacking lately, running in 1.2km intervals. But this time I did it all at once bcos I wanted to forget the disgusting tennis lesson and also cos I was feeling v stressed. (i run when i'm stressed) so I let it all out and I wanted to shout 'SEHHHH' like in Judo but there was the guy that's always at the gym so had to restrain but I said it under my breath but I think he still heard oops haha. But believe it or not, the 'seh's make it a lot easier.

So with jelly-legs and the-sinks, I went to meet Elaine Ho for shopping. Bought Winnie's and Kelly's present. But Elaine didn't want to tell me what she wanted. So I will go guang4 more jie1 and seesee. After IH test.

Speaking of which, plsplspls pray for me for my Integrated Humanities test this Wednesday!

I failed one of the assignments like 1/7 bcos of my essay skills cos I'm a GREEN brain. (like imagine failing someone based on what brain they are)

So I need this to pull it up and pass by 60%. So I need an A1 or higher i think. Feeling v nervous!!!

But I believe that God will help me through this!

Anw, today was quite horrible. It was so hot even though I was wearing a skirt, not jeans, and I was perspiring like crazy despite the rain.

Then we went to TPY to look for my deodorant haha. Couldn't find! Only those expensive places have. Cheap places no stock. So sad. Anw, we went to all the cheap places and it was all so crowded and yknow I hate crowded places. I almost cried there. But I held it in and only cried in the car. haha :P but srsly, i d like crowded places. Ew.

Evening svc was absolutely great too.

Prayed for GNS and everything. Believing for a great harvest!

Edge was even better.

I think I for one hv experienced paralysing fear. So even in other areas in life it shouldn't take hold either.

In studies, I am sort of under a lot of pressure to perform well. For myself, for parents and for God. My parents d rly express it and try not to, but I know that they expect a lot. I also want to do well to pls God. So this is why I (try to) work so hard. Not because I'm a workaholic. (i do not like studying! contrary to popular belief.) But anw, I'm only trying to finish my homework and keep up w everything. It's just a heavy workload.

So, many times I feel scared to fail stuff or be unsuccessful even in other areas of life. Then I am reminded of:

"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and sound mind."

This is why I know God will help me for the IH test 8)

I also learnt a lot abt how we must let go of certain things if we want to walk in God's light. And we musn't be scared of that. Because:

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you."

Lilaoshi played this song while we were during comprehension and I got like higher than normal!

Maria sent me the song and it rly helps me untangle my thoughts and relax.

Jordan thought it was a K/Jpop song! Hahaha.

I like piano 8)

I think I rly enjoy listening to music and doing math (provided I know how to do it).

Weird but I srsly enjoy it. Cos I love music and I like the sense of satisfaction when I finish the question/i feel smart.

Sermon today was quite needed.

Thank God for his word.

And Eric was v funny!

Was I the only one laughing?

Call out his name.

2009-03-16T21:57:00.002+08:00

I am a sinner saved by grace.

I always think I can do things on my own. I always think that I can support myself. Whether it's in tough times or being happy. Time and time again I'm brought to my knees, bowing down at the feet of Jesus. I need God. I need His strength to carry on doing homework when I'm in my zombie state, that extra kick needed to solve that Challenge Yourself! Maths question, to organise my thoughts and put it in 1000 difficult words. I need God when I'm going out w friends, going shopping, to keep that smile on my face. If my heart is without him, how can I enjoy/be myself? He's the one that I find joy in, even if I don't hang out w friends or shop.

So even when I'm battling gravity on my eyelids to stare at the screen, or srsly desocialised, I will find my hope/rest in him. And if I feel like I'm talking to 4 walls, I will hv faith and be still and know that he is my God. God who brought the ppl out of Egypt, who parted the seas, who protected the ppl w his pillars of fire, who guided the ppl in the desert w the cloud, God who lovingly and carefully moulded you long before you were born, God that controls the rain and God of all the birds in the sky.

So whenever you want to play tennis but it's raining or see birdshit on your car, you know that God is in control and you can find rest in him. 8)

what is up

2009-03-09T22:52:00.003+08:00

Wow so long since i last updated O: idk what to sayyy!

Okay, latest thing that I remember is Graces camp.

Erm, okay luh quite fun the best roomies in the world 8)

Best thing was everybody was dressing up all in the name of fun and not to show off bcos there were no boys so it's not like some big competition of who gets who ew. But it was v funny everybody getting ready, crowding around the mirror, standing on the chair to see their whole body cos there was no full-length mirror, then all the strapless dresses pullherepullthere hahaha super unglam, then all the chorlor ppl tottering around in heels, etcetc.

It was quite an eye-opening experience. Like wearing high novelty heels and making fun of makeup and going 'TAKBOLEHTAHAN TAKBOLEHTAHAN' cos of the heels or the cliched 'my heels are killing me' and helping krystal do up her curly hair.

I'm too shy to pick out and post photos of it up so you can go FB but I untagged most of it.

Free Day today was quite spoilt. Cos of stomachache.

My mother had a whole schedule for me.

Morning: do tuition homework, practise piano.

Afternoon: lunch, cut hair, rest.

Evening: handbilling, dinner, tuition.

But she said I could spoil it so I wanted to go hang out all day(RARE CHANCE).

But then I had stomachache after lunch and then had to go home to rest and cos i was farting a lot. so after i managed to poop (8D) all the bad stuff out, I went for the haircut and now it's so super short (mixed feelings. A bit short cos i like my wavey locks hahaha but also my head feels much lighter and it's neater. But it's way too short! And my face looks like O now.) Oh yea. By then, it was 7 so we ate dinner and v nice dessert! We shared v sinful tangyuan in peanut soup and sesame paste. Then tuition lor.

No hanging out all day :/ feel v bad/distant cos i haven't spent much time w friends cos of sch and family. Paiseh.

But at least I pooped and cut my hair and had dessert and slept a lot!

Have been having many crying fests cos of 'the issue' but I think God is showing me areas of my life where I have compromised on and shouldn't have. And also like how to avoid that.

So maybe I have to give Saturday Nights up completely to spend more time w my parents. Then I can get home early and get more rest/squeeze in some work.

And maybe I should stop surfing the internet. I really enjoy browsing through pictures of people and kpo-ing blogs, but I should get more rest so I won't be so exhausted after school. Then I can do more homework/do homework better and have time for other stuff I need to do.

Seems like a sad life, but I think it's a joy to serve the Lord. Quoting a song in my iPod, 'this is no sacrifice, here's my life'. Hahaha okay I'm being dramatic. But all these seem small compared to being able to see God's vision for my life coming to life.

So current plan is to show parents I can manage well then ministry can come in.

Block tests are coming after March holidays but thankfully they're quite spread out and only Biology and IH require heavy revision so I should be able to hang out a bit. This week seems slackish too so if you wanna hang out anytime this week and next you can ask meeeee.

Yay I feel so energized after sleeping for most of the day.

And pooping urge again!

Grateful,

sheryl

2009-02-05T00:18:00.003+08:00

I know i'm not supposed to be here (cos i'm fasting fun stuff online again) but!

After spending the day with my classmates, instead of judokas, instead of church ppl, instead of family, instead of homework,

I realise that my life revolves around v different things from them (classmates).

I went around to visit their blogs for the first time today, realised that most of them talked about how they went out today, which teacher knows all our blogs, googling teachers and searching them on facebook, getting angry about teachers, recounting every word about anything that happened that day etcetcetc.

And then I realised that I blog about v diff stuff i think.

I don't recount every word about anything that happened that day not bcos i don't rly rmb stuff well nowadays, but bcos it wasn't that significant to me? idk. Like QH blogged about the PE tennis lesson, about the impossibility of hitting with the frame of the racket(or is it racquet, OMG). But it didn't even make any mark in my mind luh pls.

And then today we ate icecream, and they had to take photo w the icecream, our icecreams together, our backview walking photo etc. But to me I was just 'oh yay i'm eating my greentea icecream what's next'.

As in i'm not saying that I am superior/inferior to my classmates. It's just that I realise how differently what our lives revolve around are.

And I also realise how I am so blind/numb or even uninterested/not totally into stuff i am.

Makes me wonder, after God, what is my priority/what does my life revolve around.

Bcos ppl like James know that I forget most things that have happened in my social life.

And i'm not SUPER close to my family either.

And i am not a v good musician in either instruments.

And hw/sch is not enjoyable, of course.

And due to time constraints and my impossible personality, I d rly hv SUPER close friends. I spread my time out with all the different groups, bcos they all mean much to me.

And I do not hv a hobby. Besides laughing/yelling.

Bcos when I'm not praying, what do I do?!

It's difficult to put into words, besides my bad English/self-expression skills/essay skills, but i think you get the gist right.

So today inspired me to take a deeper interest in everything I do.

Not like Krystal saying that everything is interesting, or blogging about every single conversation I have, but like appreciating stuff and being more open to stuff/be more 活到老学到老-y. (i hope it isn't 6 squares)

Cause of the angle and the spotlights.

Not cause we had too much time cos our class didn't do calligraphy cos we used the paper to make hats and so went to the hall earlier to chop the place right in front of the stage!

Performances by tablemates!

I am their new fan.

Another thing to thank God for:
Only ONE piece of homework for the holidays!
And it's just a worksheet. Bio though, but one only.

the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl.

Yes God all I am is yours do what you want with it.

Help me to trust in you and to let you drive and help me not to meddle.

Remind me that the all the riches/possessions/happiness cannot compare to the joy found in you.

When my heart is weak and i've lost my way, i will lift up my eyes and choose to say i will trust in you.

Yea man.

Things feel quite rough 8/
Idk why but I've been flaring up alot.
V aggravative/aggravated recently.
Tsk sucks.

On a brighter note, I finally could clear ALL the remaining small lil bits of dogshit off my shoe. YUCKSIES TTM. Stunk like hell and got some bits on my hand and made me stinky. Thank goodness there was Lifebuoy Antiseptic soap!

And on an even brighter note, the run today made me feel much better.

Just when you thought it couldn't get better, I shit-ted a whole lot today!
Rocks.

Oh and I'm home alone again 8D
Love it.
Not that I'm doing anything secretive, but it's just that I'm glad to have some alone time besides on the bus. Which is not alone time, bcos it's hot and stuffy w tons of ppl crammed in one bus and the engine is v noisy so music can't be played.

I know there's a lot of nice things happening to me and I am grateful, just that one small area in my life something's wrong and making me v confused 8/

Yay date w judokas tmr.

(GIVE ME MY $50 GUITARRRR!)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hectic but fulfilling and fun/cool.

2009-01-17T09:48:00.005+08:00

Yep, this week has been so super busy, I cannot fit my homework list on one page anymore! :8(

Thank God for helping me make it through again! He's been blessing me tremendously w great friends and tablemates and memories and also good rest/power-naps.

Camwhoring in between/during classes.

They discovered my Santa clip so made me put it on.

Chinese lesson teacher gave out these v cool suns mine was peach color (right) it has been added to my list of fav colors (4th after grey)

This is so embarassing. I was TRYING to act cute, I admit it wasn't successful hahahahaha.

Btw, this is from last year August 8th, the hold-hands-and-say-th-pledge-together one.

And they discovered my Bimbos.

So this is what I look like normally.

Friday was a rly busy day:

Huaimin (I rly mean Huamin or Huimin) was feeling angry/down and out on Friday and I cheered her uppppp! :8D

We started singing songs in Math class and doing stupid things and laughing at Krystal talking to herself in German or singing her Ruanliu notes out of tune hahahahahaha.

Then after sch: National Library.

Semi-successfull!

We learnt a v important session.

To visit the library/see what information is available to you before you even submit the proposal.

We breaking out in laughter at ourselves for being so stupid to think that choosing our topic would make us interested and therefore do the project but IH will nv be interesting. It was srsly hilarious. Laughed for about 3 mins? Straight!

People were staring! We were trying to laugh discreetly while spurting out "OMG WHY WE SO STUPIDDDDDDDD"

Oh then decided to take photos which made everyone stare even more but who cares hahaha.

OOOOOOH

Had dinner at PlazaSing the YongTauFoo is so niceeeeeeeee except i d like yellow noodles. I was on the phone w Winnie while holding a jacket and holding my wallet trying to take out the $ and scooping chilli and chopsticks and spoon. They had no fork!

Then did Amazing Race around PlazaSing buying Jan's birthday present (btw Happy 20th!) I am v proud of myself she seemed to like it alot! Well, having burned of all the calories joggingwalking all around PS, I put it back on at Ben and Jerry's!

The net met at B&Js@Cathay it was so cool we had 2 tubs

tub1 - Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Fudge Brownie

tub2 - Chunky Monkey and Oreo thing I think.

I like Phishfood (however you spell it) and Strawberry Cheesecake and Chunky Monkey and the only nonB&Js flavor: Green Tea!

And guess what IIIIII drew THISSSSS

SO COOL RIGHT.

i know.

And I also drew an owl (on Clifton's tee) on B&Js napkins but I shall not share it but it was so beautiful i am proud of myself yez i am.

The photos w people are in about 3 people's cameras. So I will post if I get them.

We had an absolutely great time of fellowship and a short net lesson and birthday for Jan and icecream-ing.

THNQ DAV FOR THE TREAT you are v generous/cool/nice and always help me play guitar for worship cos I kinda suck at it and the best assistant net leader in the world i mean it from the bottom of my heart.

And... as I promised Krystal:

YEZ unglam ttm

NOT IT WILL NV BE DESTROYEDDDDD.

unless I delete this post/blog or Blogger loses all it's information.

I d care that you deleted the other unglam photo i will secretly take more in class i hv the whole term to do so MWAHAW.

Guess what!

My parents + sister are in Msia!

Batu Pahat.

Dad had some business thing + visit grandma.

So I am alone for the day!

Good luh, need some alone time and to do all my homework w/o ma interrupting and asking me to fold clothes, put towel up, eat lunch, wash clothes, fold clothes etc.

I am gonna treat somebody today. Haven't decided who/what yet!

And I should start on my homework now then tonight can spend more time w churchies yay.

FRIDAY 16JAN2009 WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

Not only did I hv a great time in class, at Natl Library, at B&Js, but also SOMETHING happened.

HAWHAW I feel so special now.

I d think I wna say it out here but you can ask me if you wanna know.

SOOO flattered!

Blush.

Tennis this morning was great I actly improved a lot from the practise w my Dad on Wednesday. The practise rly sucked. W disgusting rackets w powdery/peeling handles and broken strings, and only abt 10 tennis balls, I felt so bad at tennis!

I'm still not good, but much better than last week's lesson.

And I stepped on dogshit for the 2nd time in my life!

Stinked like hell throughout tennis lesson and in the gym. P-U.

I like Patrick M! He is so cool.

And Andrew Bird.

Annoyed/sick/hw

2009-01-03T15:39:00.002+08:00

Had quite a bad first day at school. My sinusitis acted up again the day before, so I couldn't sleep well. I went to bed at 10, only managed to fall asleep at about 11pm. Then my sister came in about 1 or 2+, I woke up, couldn't stop sneezing/get back to sleep. Lay tired and sneezing in bed til 6am, couldn't get up. (And there was no more milk in the fridge! O: haha. But there was peanutbutter.)
Struggled staying awake at all the 'inspirational talks' but I hv the best tablemates! I wanted the back row window seat though, but instead we got the back row, furthest from the windows. Cos the sun helps keep me awake and I d like fluorescent light and most importantly, it rlyrly helps keep my sinusitis away. Rly hate it that it's so easily aggravated and now it's even easier. But my bruddahs wanted it too so nvm. Ha, that's like the worst thing that happened that day. But it would have been the best first day of school ever if not for the mucus.
And so bcos of mucus day, I barely made it through net and I can't do the holiday hw I didn't manage to finish. And I was quite annoyed at a lot of people sorry:(
Haha maybe it's the devil trying to stop me bcos God said he's doing a lot of things this year NO MAN, I'M NOT BACKING DOWN.
Forgot there was tuition today, cos I didn't manage to have a look at my to-do list (in my brand new organiser courtesy of Innovative Polymers PteLtd) amidst all the blowing into tissues. Could tell tuition teacher was quite annoyed oops.
I need my own toilet that's bigger than the existing one.

Thankyoujesusforhelpingmemakeitthroughytdplshelpmemakeitthroughtodaytoo

Wake me up when 2009 ends.

2009-01-01T01:38:00.001+08:00

I can't believe this is how I'm spending my first day of the year.
I was looking forward so much to 2009 but then New Years' Day is being such a sucker.

7.30am, haven't slept a wink :8(

2008-12-31T07:13:00.002+08:00

Yea it's rly 7.30am and I rly haven't slept a wink since 'Vivolicious'.
I was actly super energetic after I got home but then mentally I was quite tired. Physically I wasn't tired, so I did pushups situps cycling superman. Did like 365 sets of everything until everything ached and I had no more strength. But no, I still lay in bed, tossing and turning.
So I decided to do HW ZOMG.
I went out and started to write 1 of my 3 writing stuffs. After about 2.5 hours, it was like 56_ words only. I needed 1200.
So here I am, ranting.
But anw, I was thinking about school and this was what Kimbly said:

WoW watchnight is tomorrow alreadyy, and a day after that is gonna be wake up early eat your breakfazt tie hair neat neat for 15mins (HAHA) wear beautiful school shoez then off to school!

Yea v true and v sad! Yet v excited -.-
Hee I always contradict myself but nvm.
Excited cos finally got things to do/keep me on track/not idle and see people, though I rly feel more comfortable/'belong' w the church people. But then there's fvka and Elaine and ppl like Hu(a)imin etc.
Not looking forward to sch bcos I don't wanna do 3 writing stuffs and the waking up at 6am and maybe more HW and less time to shop and hang out.

It's been 2 months but it seemed like almost a year! Yet maybe also as short as a week. It's been packed. With china trips, random trips to Batu Pahat, Batam, impromptu outings w churchies, v planned outings w judos, Starbucks green tea frappes, successful and failed attempts to do homework, watching House, watching Hotshot, watching DVDs/dled movies, tennis lessons, many things checked off my to-do list.
So it has been quite productive. Beams

Okay I'm rly not looking forward to lack of sleep.
I won't mind doing HW and everything, but not being well-rested rly affects me/quality of work.
(sudden bout of loathe-iness)

K nicenice holiday of 2008 v well spent yay :8D.

Today is last day of 2008 zomg.

Thank God for 2008 and 2009!

(Now I go wash off pimple cream/overnight oil and cont writing stuff/sleep hawhaw)
(was i stone during vivolicious? felt stone O:) (besides camwhore part) (camwhore ftw)

Batu Pahat #365

2008-12-29T23:40:00.002+08:00

I think this trip is the trip which I've bonded w my ahma the most.
Just speaking in English and broken Hokkien to her/teasing her/giving her my 'huh' expression when she nags in Hokkien.

There was a food poisoning epidemic O:

First, cousin + girlfriend pooped.
Second, sister pooped.
Third, ahma vomited.

I just farted all the way.
HAHA.
But srsly, kept farting.
Thought it was just me, but turns out not.

Anw, my sleeping pattern's all screwed up and there's still all the HW minus Probability WS. That's like the only thing I did.

(FYIBTW I hv stopped farting alr don't worry:8D
baked a v big chocolate cake)

sheryl

2008-12-22T00:25:00.002+08:00

Oh yea and shopped with Elaine and Fvka KellyJow ytd!
Was quite productive.
Bought some stuff, like a skirt! O:
Yay I love Fvka and Elaine. They are my new shopping partners.
We are gonna tie-dye soon!
After I return from THAT place.
Muacks.

Santa clip. Must wear for MyHopeSG tmr!

sheryl

Yay.

2008-12-22T00:15:00.002+08:00

The msg by Uncle Bob was great today! I knew it was God helping me. Ha, bcos of my frenzy in the previous post. The scared-of-next-year thing. Then he reassured me/how to grow in faith thing. And the 1 hour with 6 ppl a week thing. And the tithe of your time thing. Rly cool for busy ppl/Singaporeans.

And I received the sweetest card today!
Made my initially reallyreallyreally bad day.
Read it 3 times.
THANK YOU if you see this.

And winnie had the nicest hair today.
I took a picture of her with the nice hair.
Using it for the net blog web banner.
I'll post it up another day.

Hafta plan for games for MyHopeSG tmr night!
And sleep cos tennis at 7am tmr.

And got Wilson tennis shoes for $35!

But mostly belongs to my Dad. Cos it's a guys' shoe and it's not high-arched so will maybe hurt my knee but dunno if it's completely healed and also cos it's a little loose for me.
But anw.

'Nights!'~

sheryl

2008-12-21T00:40:00.002+08:00

Idk why but lately i've been feeling a little stressed/worried.
Okay not little, alot.
Tsk.

But after the jog, though only 1 round, I felt much better. Wanted 3 rounds, but sister was tired. I had a lotta things on my mind luh. And when I jog, I must think about sth. And I had a lot of things on my mind, so I wanted to jog it out.
Also cos of oily prata, my stomach wasn't feeling v good. So jogging was good.

Tonight's msg was rather good. I was in deep-thinking mode. So the action and enthusiasm wasn't v enjoyable for me. But the msg was quite unique for me. Learnt a lotta things. Like how I always confuse faith w confidence. Cos faith is in God and confidence is self. Like I can do things, but not by my might but by the Spirit of God.
And I also thought his secret strategy thing for reaching out was v practical. A good idea.
And the fear of God thing.

Also, I'm getting paranoid AGAIN about next year. Like getting pressure from expectations of myself and from others too. Eg my ma said I must get A1/2 for Chinese, or she'll ground me heavily. Also like scared I let God down. Cos He revealed like His plans for me. He gave me so much assuring words, which was what I also prayed for, but I'm still feeling RLY paranoid. Sigh, must pray more. Tsk how can I not trust God?! D8:<
K nvm.
Ranting.

Yay Uncle Bob whole of tmr. Excited for a word from God!

1Sometimes idk if I wanna exchange the overseas experiences for the weekends. I guess overseas experiences sound better and after some thought, yes, overseas experiences.
Yea, they stole my weekends, but I kinda have plenty of weekends in my life.
But stealing my Christmas? Okay. Tsk. FINE.
Stealing my Post Christmas (Sales)? NO WAY.

2This year, my parents had to go there on my birthday.
I spent my birthday sleep alone.

3My ma has booked my birthday 09 week's Saturday for DINNER.
I wanted lunch, she said no must be dinner.
Like what's the diff.
Just that she has a prob w me and my social life, or lack thereof.

I hope Daddy's exhibition thing in Japan in Feb falls on my birthday.

From past few weeks of pplwatching.

2008-12-18T03:40:00.009+08:00

This ahma is eating icecream!

I like his pants.

Smiling punkrockers :8)

Just reminds me of Zuriel.

Ha I like his broken jacket.

'I don't wear synthetic fibers. Before I used to wear only black now I've found the blue color.'

Ha, no necks. But happy ppl.

Ha, his hair's messier than mine.

Arthur's quiz thing hahahaha SEE arthur I promised you I would do it.

2008-12-18T03:15:00.003+08:00

Anw, the quiz thing. I found the rules/instructions on somebody's blog:

1 Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
2 People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own, 10 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
3 At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
4 No tagging back.

1 I daydream... alot.

2 I love God... >:8D
(He is the centre of my life
He is my best friend
He is my King
He is my Lord
He is my Savior
He is my Shepherd
He is my provider
He is my l<3ver
etc.)

3 I sort of think alot also. Sometimes about important things, sometimes about very minor things. Like what expression I should make when I do sth if blah thing happens, which chapter I should revise next, battling w myself to do homework, how I should spend tmr and those really big decisions like buying sth ex or choosing a sch. I think less when I'm feeling talkative.
(Daydreaming is daydreaming/imagining/being ridiculous, thinking is thinking.)

4 I cannot be talkative if I'm not comfortable with just one person that is present. So the more I talk, the more comfortable I am with you.

5 I cannot hold anything in my hands. As in, sorta like I cannot hold a clutch, I must have a shoulder bag/backpack. Or like how I must have pockets bcos I can't hold my phone in my hand. I will just drop it unconsciously.

6 I have a tomato-shaped head/face. Following after my father. Except mine is much more tomato-shaped. Yea, it's like everybody else's faces sideways.

7 I sometimes do the opposite from what I thinking.
Like nowadays I like colorful things like the pair of shoes just now, but I have been dressing in black/white/dark brown/beige lately.
And one time, in a piano exam, I was asked if I want to start w scales or the pieces first. I wanted scales, but I said pieces. (It just CAME out.)
Don't ask me idk why.

8 I have no ball skills.
Okay maybe everybody knows that already hahaha.
I think it's just bcos I didn't play much ball games when I was young. And I learn sth by meddling with it myself and learning how it works in the weird way my brain functions. And I think that it's v weird/lonely to do sth with a ball alone, so I don't try to improve my ball skills. But now that I'm learning tennis, maybe, just maybe, it'll improve.

9 Everytime my sister visits/leaves, I know, by observing the way I feel/behave, that I am confused between being a single kid and a sister.

10 I know I'm outgoing and everything, but I seldom spend time w friends. Most frequent/best time I have is Saturday dinners, but that's about to be taken away cos of curfew and location :(

I tag noone.

sheryl

I m crazeh.

2008-12-18T02:36:00.004+08:00

Heh... I was just daydreaming today.
(Bcos I changed the bedsheets and everytime I do that, a lot of dust fly into my nostrils and it becomes mucus day. Srsly, it happened the last time I changed bedsheets. And also bcos I drank James' drink on Tuesday, forgetting that he was sick, and also bcos I slept too late the night before, and also bcos I ate too much at the buffet, which is actly normal behaviour for the buffet, I fell, what is considered to be, sick. It was just a case of the sinusitis and overactive mucus producers. Once the mucus in my nose become unbalanced, as in the placement and thickness, my mucus producers will keep producing mucus to replace the mucus i'm blowing out, but I can't stop blowing them out. If I lie down, I will need to open my mouth to breathe and it will turn into a sore throat. Not if the mucus overflows first. But anw,)

So I was thinking of random stuff:

1. If I want to take proper notes that I'll actually read for 09, I will need a set of colored pens cos pens are for notes, markers are for autographs. I like the Stabilo pens! I saw a set of 12 for $13+ I will get them when sch starts:):):)

2. I want a fake moustache. I saw my sister and ma watching XiaoNiangRe and I thought the men wearing them were cool.

3. I must own a funny pair of shoes. At least by June2009. Like these!

Ha, cool right.

4. I want a maid. As in, maybe now not so essential, but when I grow up and esp if I marry, bcos such a simple task like changing a bedsheet is so dangerous for me. (Like everytime I change bedsheet I will fall sick. Bcos of sensitive nose and hardworking mucus producers.) So I will need a maid. Therefore, I will need a rich husband. Therefore, I am v disgusted w myself for needing to be so materialistic. Sigh. Worried for the future heehee.

My sister made my day today :) Thank you jiejie.

She bought me a clip that has a small Santa hat glued on. So when you clip it on, you're wearing a mini Santa hat (like popping out of the side of your head). SO CUTEEEEEE! I'm so gonna wear it for Fri/Sat/Sun.

My jiejie is so thoughtful.

Pity I'm missing Christmas... I'm srsly praying v hard that my dad doesn't hv to go so many days in advance for my cousin's wedding. URGH. And if we hv to stay back to clean up after the wedding, it'll steal yet ANOTHER one of my Saturdays. And Saturday that's a holiday, I mean.

When school starts, I'm so gonna violently object any trip to Batu Pahat. Which is sorta taken into consideration since school is supposedly important.

Cheecher Sharewerl.

2008-12-06T13:09:00.004+08:00

So anw, just came back from helping out in Children's Camp last night.
It was so exciting!
Like running after the kids and helping them put on the harness/helmet/wet pants/cap.
"Cheecher Sharewerl, can go toilet?"
"Cheecher Sharewerl, can I refill my bottlebottle?"
"Cheecher Sharewerl, where we going now?"
Too cute.
Anyway, besides all the fun and sunburn and games and cute kids and naughty kids who steal shoes/sandals and keep wandering away and team up with their siblings to pull your hands in all directions and talk til 2am,
it was great to serve God in this way!
Ha, srsly, it was a great experience. And the sessions were good too, not only for the kids but I also learnt some stuff.
Pity I had to leave early!
(My tennis lesson got cancelled in the end and my ma is not preparing for her My Hope Sg which she said needed help.)
I heard my tribe won!!!!!!!!
Ha the kids must have been so happy!
Oh man, I want to see Zuriel and Gilbert's faces!
And all the other favourite kids like Tinkerbell and Kelly and her best friend and Regan and Moses and Frog.

I thought if my hair grew long enough by the end of this holiday, I would keep it if I liked. But I had rly bad split ends and so I went for a trim on Wednesday and the guy cut it so short even though i told him I'm 'liu2chang2'-ing, it won't ever grow long enough so I'll just keep it short. Ha bcos I told God sth like 'have your way' when I was asking him about my hair. So short is the way to go. It's not bad anyway, but idk if it'll grow out quickly.

1 day to youthcamp!
Super excitedz despite not rooming w childhood friends, but can get closer to GirlyGirlz and Valthm.
Sigh I hope I hv enough clothes and bring enough too. I am known to under-bring.
God, what dyou have in store for me you haven't told me yet!
And I am gonna try my best to get bananas.
(I didn't poop AT ALL for Children's Camp until I got home that v night and DID IT and then I just DID IT 10 minutes ago. I guess it rly is the feeling of home and also maybe cos I only started to steal the kids' veggie ytd lunch. So I'm not gonna risk it, therefore, bananas again.)
Ha, this youthcamp is gonna be a big surprise.

2008-11-28T00:27:00.006+08:00

I WANT MY ROOM BACK.

Where I can do

whatever I want

whenever I want

however I want

Own house even better.

Happy people.

2008-11-27T00:10:00.004+08:00

Here are some more cool/happy people I found!
These are actually from street fashion websites or sth but I just look to see all these nice people! I don't rly understand fashion or anything, like why would you spend so much time/money/effort to portray a look, and you wear it, and it's all you over. I mean, invest in something longer-lasting. Like God! You can dress up but don't need so exaged right. Anw, maybe most of you nv knew I liked to do this. I always liked people-watching, but I don't like crowds and noise and in Singapore most people are just perspiring so internet is the way to go. Anw, cool people:

She looks so happy and cute and relaxed!

Only bcos my favourite color is blue.

This guy looks so happy :8).

Happy+cosy.

They are actly dressed up as teletubbies!

The caption said: 'We try our best to dress gothic.'

That concludes this morning. I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up to use the computer. I felt tired but couldn't get myself to sleep. And I didn't take any tea/coffee/caffeine. Weird. Anw, so I had nothing to do and nobody to talk to (bcos I didn't feel like watching 21 and didn't feel like doing homework) so I surfed and found more nice websites and did my usual patrol of my Favourites and saw all these nice people! Anw, I stayed up til 7am in the morning, which was when my ma woke up!

Prayer Meeting was... funny!

It was a good exposure to what a worship session is like. :8).

Anw, out of the 3 songs we'd practised, only 1 song was played!

So, due to my ignorance and bad memory, I did not remember ANY of the chords to those 2 other songs! As in, one of them was a very common song, Here I Am To Worship. Played it tons of times, but totally forgot the chords, esp bcos I haven't touched guitar in a vvvvv long time. But anw, I just played the key and changed the variation every chordchange, so it seemed like I knew what I was doing.

One time, Jeremy Seaward (one man sound crew) came to my keyboard and increased the volume, saying 'can't hear you'. Then I said back 'not supposed to hear me, I don't know the chords.' Heehee. Secrett.

Oh and I asked Arthur and he said he could only tell on 1 of the songs. I think I just looked sian from playing the same chord. Haha. My acting skills not bad eh?

Anw, this is a lesson to familiarise myself alot more with songs and also about training my ear to tell the key and also my instinct to feel what chord is next, so that you can play any song you know how to sing. It'll take long, but yes, with determination and for God, I will! :8D.

Heehee. But srsly. My first impression was 88O (bug-eyed, jaw dropped, nostrils flared). As in, not referring to hotness (though he is kinda, ha), but the overall look is so cool!

Anw, just sth I saw on the net. And it's 3:09am and I can't sleep.

And I haven't had time to practise for prayer meeting. So I set an alarm for 9am tmr to practise. Maybe I'll change it to 10.

I've got CIP @ AMKCL 12-5, I hope 'that woman' is not there again. She didn't allow me to do homework the other time! So I just sat there at the entrance, getting stared at by people, barely attempts to give out flyers and promote the E-Notification thang. I read quite a bit of my Strawberry Farm book though. I better get on with my reading! Which reminds me, I have to find my library card to borrow books. I wonder if they have Slam Dunk and if I can borrow them. (Bcos my EZlink is deactivated bcos I lost it once before.) (The title's not Strawberry Farm. The story is about workers at a Strawberry Farm. But I can't rmb the title and can't be bothered to check. So I just call it that. And this book has inspired me to visit farms. Fruit farms, animal farms, corn farms, etc. I think it's so cool. But of course, not too many insects or high humidity. I'm a princess okay. My tiara _M_ )

Hogay i better try to sleep now. Or I won't ever wake up and practise and totally panic tmr. Which reminds me I have to take care of my own dinner and make my own way to GB by 7pm and I'm only let off at 5. Can I fit any practise session in between? O:O:O: Thank God for the songlist though :8D And thank you Evie!

PS (tsk everything got deleted so now I have to retype and it's so not nicely put now.)

Today was a very productive day I finished Probability worksheet 5.1 and reorganised my shelves! Considering I woke up at 2.09PM or sth. Wanted to watch 21/Mamma Mia! but my sister wanted to sleep so I'm here now.

I've been reflecting on this year and I realise I haven't been getting hold of every moment. My living habits and schedule and to-do lists have not helped. I was so inspired by 'Seize the day.' this phrase. Heard of it before but never realised the truth in it. It sounds so goofy but yes, it's super important to me. It''ll be most possibly the slogan/engine/theme for 09. Gonna write it in bigblockletters on the first page of my diary09 (as in organiser). Followed by my resolutions09 once I finalise them. (Seize the day. is actly in some language but I forgot what it was but it sounded way cooller.)

I've a feeling this month/week is gonna be super productive! (Just rly dreading the 3 essays for 'Holiday' Homework and other stuff.) (I'm treating myself to a movie, still deciding between 21 and Mamma Mia!. As in DVD.)

Anyhow, I haven't been up to much bcos of Malaysia and CIP and doing things with sister.

My to-do list keeps getting longer! Not only of boring stuff but also fun stuff like shopping for materials for Christmas and buying shades and _____ (that my sister bought 3 for me from Melbourne and I LOVE THEM I'm so gonna buy more I don't care how ex, hawhaw.)

Excited! Revved up! (But yawning physically bcos it's 3.36am now but that's good bcos I'm finally tired so I can sleep and get up to practise tmr.)

(Don't worry Arthur I am still thinking of 10 facts about me.) (Bcos I'm ever-changing. And I can't write that down bcos that's only 1 fact and bcos of that, no other facts will be considered facts already.Geddit? Haw.)

yawn, sheryl

2008-11-25T04:05:00.002+08:00

I'm srsly trying to think of sth that I can give up for next year.
I don't even go shopping or hang around (except Saturday nights) regularly!
If I don't have a life in the first place, how can I give up one?!
ZOMG this is too sad/confusing/depressing. Another one of those problems that can't be solved. I need a miracle. I am going to pray very hard!

Batu Pahat.

2008-11-25T02:09:00.006+08:00

WE SAW A MONITOR LIZARD.

There was an abandoned house opposite and a few houses to the right of my ahma's house. On our last day in this trip (Monday, 24Nov), returning from checking out the boutiques that we never knew of, we saw a monitor lizard!
SO EXCITING.

Usually my parents see weird stuff (snake, wild pig, etc.) on the highways but I'm usually sleeping/stoning so I'd be too slow to see them.
But THIS TIME.
I WAS LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW.
WIDE AWAKE.
Then I heard SI4JIAO3SHE2!~~~~~
Then I LOOKED.
AND SAW IT.

We hopped out of the car and I took out my handydandy camphone and took a few shots.

THIS IS JUST THE TAIL.
Compare it with the size of a normal door.

It looked way fatter than that. It was rly like those you see on TV. SHOCKING. :8)

Oh and I made 2 of this in Batu Pahat.
Got it in China, it had like instructions and everything, with all the fabric and thread. And there was enough to make 2.
Still deciding where to hang it.

(HAHAHA can you see my pok face in the reflection)

That concludes a pretty enjoyable trip.

Sigh. I have to start appreciating the fact that I get to go overseas often, even if it's not for holiday. I have to be grateful that I can still see my dear grandma. And that I get to experience another type of living.
It really helps sometimes. For example, OBS was super boring to me. They talked about OBS bringing you out of your comfort zone, which would be a great learning experience blahblahblah. But to me, so what if it brings you out of your comfort zone? Bcos in Batu Pahat, there are flies and mosquitoes and sometimes weird smells and dirt and stuff. (I'm not despising Batu Pahat I like Batu Pahat, it's just not somewhere that Singaporeans will be used to luh.) So OBS rlyrlyrly was a real bore. (I think I have said this before. I am getting old!)

LISTS!
I don't rly like lists but they're necessary to live in Singapore. Or to be me and have a memory like mine. Getting old luh I know! :8)

To-do list for 25 Nov, Tuesday.
1. Practise synthe for Prayer Meeting.
2. Pester Evie to pester worship leader for song list.
(ZOMG if there isn't I'm so totally gonna break down in panic.)
3. Bluetooth all of Jiejie's music that I don't have to my phone and bluetooth them to my comp.
(Bcos somehow I can't transfer directly using her harddisk. The files can't play. I'm clueless at the computer so I'll just do it the long way. :8) )
4. Practise piano.
(Revive first piece, practice 2nd piece, learn 3rd piece, scales and arpeggios. ZOMG.)
5. Homework. HOMEWORK.
6. Schedule another 3-hour CIP to replace the one I missed today (Monday 24Nov) (Bcos I was in Batu Pahat.)
7. Wash car.

To-do list for this week/month.
1. Collect dunno-what from Catz Apparel.
2. CIP (Wed Thurs Sat)
3. Practise synthe and piano.
4. HOMEWORK ZOMG.
5. Carwash x5
6. Look for NYAA book (the big one)
7. Ask for more homework.
(ask if I'm missing anymore on my homework list)
8. Tennis lessons! :8)
(Had to cancel this week bcos of Msia. TSK. I thought could finally start. And we HAD to go to msia again. STOP. Must be grateful.)
9. Foundations 4. (Oh no. Evie, which ones do I need to makeup again?)
10. Band prac.
11. Finally treat James.
12. Think of how I'm gonna not wear long pants to church again. (WHYWHYWHY did I have to be born in Singapore?!)
13. Write NYAA reflections.

To-do list for December08.
1. Buy shades
(so I can sleep in the bus for Youth Camp. I learn my lesson from how I suffered on the multiple bus trips in China.)
2. HOMEWORK.
(This time, it's a must. Unlike in the previous lists. Those were merely failed attempts to convince myself to start. I better start! Especially the China Programme Reflections for Language Arts. Before I forget all the cheem things I thought of for the assignment during the trip.)
3. Integrated Humanities SIA
Chinese SIA
4. Carwash
(I have only washed the car twice so far! Bcos I wake up after my dad leaves for work and noone wants to accompany down so that I can wash the car at night.) (And I am also a busy girl.) (I think I'll only get to wash one month's worth of carwash = $40 :8/ Measly for 2 months, but at least there's sth.)
5. Michelle's pie
(FINALLY bake the pie that Michelle gave me a slice of in school which I totally swooned at the first spoon. Yes, I loved it.)
6. Use the French Dressing that we bought in Msia. Yes, I have come to love salad! (Bcos in China, I pooped everyday. And that could only be because I ate all kinds of weird veggies and I have come to enjoy salad!)
7. Buy guitar.
8. Finish reading Strawberry Farm. And other books.
(It'd be sooo bad if I only read one book in a span of 2 months. My Language Arts would be totally rock-bottom. If it could go any lower. ZOMG.) (I'm treating this like homework. It's revision. It's the only way I can lift up my English standard thing. If it rly works anyway. You can't force literature/humanities on a Science brain, yknow!)
9. Remove wart. (On my knee. Ha.)
10. Try Sakae buffet. (YEZ I haven't tried it yet. Unbelievable, considering a glutton like me. Believe it.)
11. Ask for the synthe back from Auntie Jenny (Bcos she borrowed it for the Dinner And Dance but they didn't use it anyway? And I've been practising on the piano. Super weird.)
12. Jogging with jiejie. (This might as well not be here. Bcos we jog almost every alternate day.)
13. Find a dress for cousin's wedding in Batu Pahat on 27 Dec.
14. Resolutions 09.
15. Comic wallet with Pearlyn and Alina.
16. YOUTHCAMP:8D
17. Look for the materials for the mass Christmas present thing.
(It's something super lame again. I hate myself for coming up with that idea and still going through with it. When it's time to give it to people, I'm so gonna back out. And my sister is so gonna force me to. It's so lame! And I'm still going through with it!)
18. Tennis lessons! :8)
19. Buy pens for notes for Sec4! (like super multi-color with all my favourite colors, bluepinkgreybrownbeigepeach MWAHA)

There are manymanymany more things but they're just not coming into my mind right now. And they're not on the lists I wrote down.

I am waiting for a time when I'm not studying in Singapore anymore. And maybe that school/country doesn't give homework for holidays. These are the things I dream of. These are the things I think of when I'm stoning. I realise that I freeze a lot. Just look into blank space and let my mind go wild. I don't even remember what I think of most of the time. I just start imagining. Or maybe I see a sign and I relate it to something, and then I relate it to something else. And so on. This is why I can't pray in my mind. I need to say it out or type it out. Which is very time-consuming. But I will still do it! But most of the time, I just whisper it out. Bcos I talk quite loudly, and my parents will hear everything. So I just mouth my prayers. Dyou know that I still don't have a fixed prayer/QT time? Haha. Yea. Just never got used to it. I still have QT everyday luh. It just rly depends on my energy level and schedule and length of my to-do list(s).

I wanna thank God for my parents, my sister, my grandparents, my friends in church, school, overseas. For this home. For all that I own and don't own. For God's mercy and grace and for rly just everything. Everything good bad that's ever happened in my life.
I rly hope next year is gonna be greater.

I am praying for:
1. More sleep time.
2. More gained out of sleep time (energy, growth, rest)
3. More time for QT.
4. More time for R&R.
5. More time to complete all assignments and projects diligently.
6. Wisdom to spend my time wisely and to make the decisions God wants me to make.
7. All the people in my life.
8. More friends and to get closer to close friends and family.
9. Me to be hardworking.
10. Strength! (Spiritually, emotionally, physically to not sleep during lessons and homework time.)
11. Motivation. (No skiving off.)
12. etc.

I think this year, I spent quite a lot of time on unnecessary stuff. I'm not talking about IMing, blogging. That's still productive in some sense. I'm talking about serious I-don't-know-what-I-was-doing. It's not even stoning/thinking/daydreaming. This steals a lot of my sleep. Which results in sleeping during lessons and homework time and project time. Which results in poorly done homework and projects. And insincere QT!

I'm feeling v v v v v v v super nervous and scared for next year. I don't wanna keep screwing up. I don't wanna waste my time and do the same things and get disgusting results again and spend the whole year being a zombie bcos I didn't get enough sleep. Maybe I have to sacrifice Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. Maybe they don't make much of a difference in terms of amount of work done, bcos I'm usually quite tired after service alr, let alone after hanging out. But, I'll do whatever it takes. I'm willing to give up something if I can get more time to sleep/QT/work. But considering what's in my life now, I don't know what I can give up. There's not much. There's IMing and socialising. But if I stop those, I'd be so bored w my life. I can cut down, but I'm not spending a lot of time w anybody in particular, bcos I'm not like super close w anybody, in the first place. And then there's synthe and piano and guitar. I think I have to stop playing the guitar. Especially with the piano exam coming up early next year and with Youth Band and stuff.

ZOMG. How did I survive this year!
How am I gonna survive next year!

People say Sec3 is the most stressful year.
And I don't have O levels, but the EOY and all the Block-tests and all the assignments SIAs are to be taken very seriously too. But anw, is it the same for my school? I rly hope 2009 can be a year where I learn how to keep things on track. It's one thing to put something on your plate, but to keep it on is another matter. Projects cannot be done last minute again, homework must be diligently done. If I am clueless about it, I must ask others. Will homework partners work? Like hanging out after school to do homework together. No matter how much homework I have, I must QT and practise my piano and synthe and maybe guitar. I must not spend unnecessary time online. If I'm tired (which is most of the time), I must not go online. And I must not cheat myself and IM when I'm supposed to research.
Super scared for next year. And it's still November.
And there's still those small little tasks/errands that aren't mentioned!

I dreamt that Kelly could come to rent my room next year and I won't be so bored/lonely. Well, as if my parents would allow and as if she would pick my room to rent. My sister isn't leaving til end of February anw. :8/ I'm still not used to being a single kid. And right now, even when my sister's back, I'm not used to having a sister. I can't get my parent's attention that easily, I have to share the toilet, I have to share the comp w 1 more person, I have to do stuff for her, I have to let her do stuff for me. I think I am psychologically quite confused. :8/ Idk what to do!

I want to skip 3 years and 1 month and 5 days. I want to skip to when I'm 19 and it's 2013 and I'm overseas and I have loads of work still, but I have learnt to manage and prioritise everything. And I'm overseas in a country where there's 4 seasons and even if it's summer, it's cooller than in Singapore. Bcos I srsly cannot think when it's too hot. Like >33C, I cannot think. I just stone and get tired from trying to lose heat and fall asleep after tossing and turning bcos it's so hot. And I can actually do the things that I need to do when I want to, and the temperature doesn't matter. And I don't care if I need to wash my own clothes, mop the floor, wash the toilet, cook my own food.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Sigh.

2009ISSOSCARY.

sheryl.

At least I try...

2008-11-21T00:27:00.002+08:00

I'm pretty sure my November is being written away.
With 14 hours of CIP left for next week,
practising for piano,
practising for synthe (prayer meeting and band prac),
washing the car 5x a week,
homework, HOMEWORK,
choosing photos for development,
trying to photoshop those photos,
jogging w my sis,
THERE'S HARDLY ANY TIME LEFT FOR A LIFE.

I need more clothes! I know my sister just bought me 5 new tees, but they're mostly quite long (for me luh, bcos everyone knows I have a short body) so wearing w jeans won't be v good, bcos v thick, and that's not considering w belt too. So yknow, super unflattering yesnoYES? Plus ever since I returned from China, I can't rly take heat v well anymore, so I'm considering abandoning jeans. Most of the time. So I'll have to find nicer/more presentable shorts, get rid of the wart on my knee and jog more and find sth nice to wear w the shirt, so it won't look like I'm going to NTUC to buy YogActive Strawberry cereal. All this will take time, and I do not have it this month.
I need to socialise! Meet my China-groupmates and Edgers and get to know new Sec1 Edgers and judokas too. All this will take time, and I do not have it this month.

All in all, I have much to do. And I do not have enough time.
November = no life.

sheryl

2008-11-20T01:39:00.002+08:00

I don't feel like sleeping!
I feel like there's too many things I'm missing out on if I do.
For health's sake, I will.

2008-11-19T23:14:00.001+08:00

I need somebody to 下载 Stop Crying Your Heart Out for me.

November is gone.

2008-11-17T22:03:00.002+08:00

Had CIP at AMK library today.
3 hours of rewriting the library staff's activities.
Like how many people they caught sleeping or using handphone, how many chairs they pushed in, they all record it down. And the past day's were too messy, so they asked me to rewrite them.
All in small little squares. Have to rewrite all the little strikes, all the little dashes, so many squares. One mistake, need to redo.
(I will study hard to get a decent job and not a job like this :8} )
我做得眼花缭乱！可是，surprisingly, 我走出图书馆后，一点都不疲倦！
其实今晚我想开始做假期功课，结果又被电脑distract了。
（我的中文好棒！）
Haha, enough of that. Just emailing my china friends and couldn't bother changing back to English mode.

I spoilt my November! Now just down to one month of holidaying.
Bcos of NYAA, I have to do CIP @ AMK library.
Just did 3 hours today.
On wed, thurs and fri, I have 5 hours each.
Next week:
Mon, thurs and saturday, 3 hours each.
That will be 27 hours done.
Then in May I will do 3 hours more. So that it'll be 30 hours within at least 6 months.
FWAHAWHAW.

And since it's spoilt already, I might as well attempt to do some homework. So my December will be better.
I wonder how the SIAs (projects) are going.
Must wait for the group members to return from China.

I am currently very happy that my sister is here, but somebody will soon make it v horrible.

I'm trying not to get excited about Youth Camp. This way, with no expectations, I'll be v happy. It worked with the China trip.

YOU are holding me back.
I shouldn't care.
I will do my thing and let you see what I can become. Hmph.

sheryl

Turn for the worst.

2008-11-17T12:34:00.002+08:00

I have CIP @ AMKCL 2-5PM today.
Don't wanna see the busdriver.

Not on good terms w my Ma right now.
She has to learn to accept that our personalities clash right on. We won't be able to relate to each other in most cases but we can still love each other right. I love her, but I don't understand her. Isn't that okay? I mean, nothing else can be done.

I miss my China friends. I miss the whole experience, screaming in the cold water, squeezing in the same bed, camwhoring, walking around with cold and wet feet.

I don't know how I could stand the heat in Singapore before. It rly is an oven.

Jiejie coming back tonight.
I can't wait for it. Can't stand being suddenly sister-less after 13 years or being the centre of attention of my parents.

2008-11-03T19:45:00.002+08:00

China is quite cool!
I like the weatherrr. About 18 C like that.

Anw, I thank God for His protection on the way to China, touring Ningbo ytd and on the way to the school/boarding sch. And thank yall for your prayers! :8)
Not quite used to the things, but I guess I'm quite a qingcai sort of person as long as it's not that bad. And it's not that bad! The Chinese are vvvvvvv niceeeee. They all are very qin2lao2. Like our tour guide and the teachers all are very motivated and do the best to fulfil their role and to make us comfortable. Haven't rly met the students yet, but we know they're v hardworking. 80% of the students in the sch live in the boarding sch. All boarders wake up at 6.15 everyday. There's like music that plays every morn and it keeps playing in intervals from that time! Like snooze button. Lights out at 9.30pm but they make exceptions for us bcos they know Singaporeans sleep v late/little. Anw, I rly like the fact that they make sure the students sleep enough but I think the dorms should be improved esp if such a large percentage of the students use them. The students have sch from 7am-5pm everyday! But their break is 2 hours from 11-1pm. But still! Also, at 6.15am it's v bright, like 7.30am in SG, so it's quite okay for us/me to wake up. And by 5.30pm (dinner time), it seems like 7pm in SG. So bcos of that, all the meals are pushed forward. There's no change in time from SG though. Which is why it feels like 11pm when it's 8 only. Bcos we have dinner v early.
Anw, the water is fine (we drink bottled mineral water only) and the food is fine too! The first two days we had restaurant food but from today we're gonna have sch food which is quite okay luh. The food is just normal chinese food like zhi2cha4/ a la carte in coffeeshops. Just sometimes can be a little too salty or too much flavor. That happened only in the restaurants bcos must eat all what. So paiseh. They order so much food then we only eat the food we like. So we tried to finish all but it's not only the taste it's the quantity. OMG the people here like pile rice onto their plate, not only the guys but also some girls! O: O: O: So eating in the sch is better in a way that we can choose which dishes we want.
I wanna thank God for vvvvvv nice roommates hahaha i'm having a rly great time laughinglaughing and also 5/6 of us are Christians so it's not weird if we're reading Bible or saying grace. Like rly thank God. Bcos friends will make the whole trip enjoyable what.

THE RAIN IS NOT STOPPING here in Ningbo!
My Keds were all wet :8( bcos we had to walk like 2h plus while touring Ningbo ytd bcos the roads are quite uneven so got puddles and the parts that we went to had v small roads so the bus couldn't enter so we had to walk in. Though the bus uncle was v nice and is lending us his umbrellas until we leave, our feet were still getting vvvvv wet. But OMG thank GOd again rlyrlyrly thank God that the sch was so nice they arranged for us to go to the supermarket! I bought waterproof shoes. Wanted to buy boots but noone wanted to be unglam w me! So I bought like PVC material shoes. For 75RMB (SGD15?) which is not super cheap but not ex at all. Considering throwing away after the trip. Bcos it's quite heavy and space-consuming. (OH YEA and as usual, I had the smallest luggage! HAWHAW. The benefits of travelling often.) Oh I also bought long pants for sleeping I am def gonna throw that away after this bcos it's so unglam! And the material is so disgusting too. But inside the material is okay. Anw, it's just for sleeping.
The sch teachers are rly doing a wonderful job. Our dorm had mosquitoes bcos it was unoccupied before, so they have set up mosquito nets for us! They bought ht ematerial and lke helped us tie it onto the bed frame ZOMG so nice. So hope tonight we won't get bitten! The Chinese mosquitoes are like super bad. They bite so many times and they don't stop itching. Those on my hands (8!) have been itching since day 1! And my hands were in my pockets all the while that night! Anw, thank GOd for that too bcos my roommates all got kena-ed on the face. And the bites are like a bit red.
Anw, the toilets are a little not like Singapore's. The bathing area is okay. Just cubicles with showers lor. Just that they use cards with value, so you pay for how much water you use. But they gave us free cards with like more than enough value so it's okay. But it's either rlyrlyrly cold water (not room temp but COLD) or hot (steamsteamsteam) water! In this weather, hot water is better. Haha. Oh bu tthe toilets are another issue!
It's like a drain that runs through all the cubicles. So you poop/pee there, then there's one main flush that WHOOSH flushes everything. So if you poop, then you should go to the first one so that you can flush it or the last one so that nobody will see your poop flow past. (AND I HAVE POOPED! :8) But today haven't yet, will try.) The toilets are weird, but we try to go to outside ones that are clean and have toilet bowls. Like restaurants/hotels. But from today it's mostly in sch alr. Anw, it's unusual but the floors are dry and clean (showers also) and just need to get used to it lor.
I would also like to thank God for an open mind and not being the princess part of me. So I'm accepting most of this readily.

Internet time is up!

2008-10-31T23:34:00.003+08:00

I was actually having a pity party bcos my ma didn't allow me to go for net and the movie at first. I think either she didn't know that I'd finished packing for China or she wanted me to pack the study room or she wanted me to rest. But anw, at about 6.38pm, when I had alr finished packing the study room and had time to have a pity party, she came over to me and said 'Eh still wanna go for the movie not.'
'YEA!'

Rly thank God also for making the way bcos Jan couldn't make it and so there was 1 ticket for me! (Though sad that Jan couldn't make it luh).

YAYYY she dropped me at YCK MRT and I trained down to dhoby. I realise time passes faster when underground than aboveground. Bcos usually it feels super short from SK to dhoby but from YCK to dhoby is in fact shorter but feels super long.
But anw, made it just in time!
I liked the movie, the storyline was not as cliche as I'd expected and all the characters were all v strong. Though Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron still need to brush up on their acting skills. (Cos they're trying to look like their in love, but they just look abig high hee.) And v lovey dovey bleagh. But on the whole still v nice! :8D Better to watch in cinema bcos of the quality and music and big screen.
I liked all the songs, esp the scrap park song and I Want It All :8)
And I liked Sharpay and Ryan and Rocketman! I think they're v coolll.
Movie partner David Lim was v nice, but he noticed that I was feeling weird bcos my mind was half-occupied with worrying about China trip. But anw, shaky seats were v funny. I made a lot of small shakes but he made v occasional earthquakes! (I think I accidentally moved Evie's chair also cos she was sitting in front of me hee)
Anw, seeing the SK net was the best part of all. I thought I'd missed the thing that I most wanted to attend, the lesson, but heard that it was just 'Oh, basically, hold on to God.' HAHA. But anw, being in the presence of all my church friends rly gave me the peace that passes all understanding haha. After the zams, I got to spend a lot of time with my classmates doing things other than studying, but nothing beats spending time with your Christian friends. I didn't get to talk to them much, didn't talk much at all, but it's just their company even if it's just for a short while. And I think that was the best part of my night.

Whoa, it's just too shiok.
Haven't exercised (of my own will) for such a long time...
Basketball class tournament thing was a little loathed but I knew I would have fun but I knew I wouldn't have been able to play much.
So sgusting, being restricted. Didn't wanna go all out, scared pain. Tsk. When will this thing end?
Cancelled the appointment with the specialist on Friday. I think I know my injury best.
Well anw, ran w my father today. about 2km luh. This time I chose to stay with my father. 1st km, just jogged. 2nd round, he walked, I did weird stuff at his walking speed. Running slow-mo, jumping about etc. Then the last part was my favorite! I sprinted all the way to our block. Super coolz. I didn't know I could still run like that. At first started at normal running speed, then decided to go rly fast, then so fast reach the block alr!
And my dad reached the lift first. Haha he must have taken a shortcut, bcos I started first, didn't see him go past me.
Rly took my mind off things. Concentrating on doing the weird things and making sure my dad's knee was okay (bcos I noticed he was limping a bit). Idk what my mind was so occupied about. Maybe it's the excitement yet nerves about China Classroom or other stuff. I've been feeling worried for srsly no particular reason.
I rly hope my knee doesn't start after tonight. After the basketball tournament, it was painful for quite a few days. And I can't tell my parents, or they'll just worry or try to do sth about it. But there is no real solution, just have to let it go away. Maybe not use my knee for 1 year? Let it melt away. Or the other solution is un-tighten the muscle. The problem is, to un-tighten the muscle, you have to get warmed up and then stretch it bcos it's quite a big muscle. But bcos it's quite a big muscle, to fully warm that muscle up, I have to obviously use my knee quite a lot so that aggravates it again. That's why I'm not willing to exercise nowadays, just afraid of discovering that it's not healed yet. I rly srsly miss exercising. But maybe I'll change my mind esp after today. Feel rly good now. I love the feeling of perspiring, panting, jelly legs etc. I thought I missed training, but no I don't. Training is all the nice things until there's too much pain and you can't rly press on any longer and there's the coach and seniors yelling at you and the teammates and juniors that kan4ni3bu4shun4yan3. Yea training is about pushing your limits. But sometimes it gets to the stage where you know that you're harming your body (not referring to muscleaches, plz) and there's no team spirit, just competitive-ness and nobody rly cares about your injury. Hm, but when people ask about my knee, I know I will continue saying 'yea i'm okay'. Dunno if it's a sports thing or a judo thing or just Chinese culture. Must mian3qiang2 here mian3qiang2 there. V stupid, v lame i know. But still. Haha.

Missing T.Edge for 5x consecutively.

2008-10-28T20:16:00.002+08:00

)8':

D8'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''':

I miss T.Edgeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Previous week was bcos of Dinner&Dance.
Last week was visit Grandma in Msia.
This week is China.
Next week in China.
The next week no T.Edge.

I know my relationship w God is not based on how many services I attend. But it's also essential right.
I can't help feeling a little dry.
And I was rly looking forward to the Search series. Only attended 2 so far and I heard this week is the 2nd last part.
Just feels rly weird to have to worship God through MP3. Which is v spoiler sometimes. Bcos of Shuffle mode, it's possible that from slow songs will suddenly change to songs like Break Free. Bcos I still haven't found a guitar. :8\ :8/

Oh yez today I actually had a rly terrible day. But 2 people made it so much better :8) thnqmanymany.
Debby bought me a file heehee.
And my classmate agreed to go buy winter socks at AMK Hub. (And she gave me like 1/4 of her teriyaki chicken Mos burger.)

Oh yea.
MY MA GOT BITTEN BY A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While in Msia.
It was the neighbour's dog.
Houses in Batu Pahat are all like terraces. So my ma walked into the neighbour's carpark area and got bitten there.
Bcos the dog (which is the police-dog-breed. Pointed ears, black and dark brown etc.) was resting at some corner under a shelf. So when my ma walked into the neighbour's carpark area and wanted to ask about the kaya she ordered (which is real, fresh from the machine, made from fresh coconuts kaya.), she forgot about the fact that the neighbour owns a v not nice dog and suddenly WOOFWOOFWOOF aaaaah BSH.
The dog barked and came after my ma and my ma screamed and ran backwards and didn't see the flower pots behind and fell down. But thankfully, the neighbour had alr come out of the house and was in time to grab the dog's chain so the dog couldn't attack my ma when she had alr fallen down.
My dad, my ahma and I were at the road outside waiting for her at the car (not in the car).
My ma's alright now. She got a few puncture marks on her left forearm, but we just bought some antiseptic and things to apply and plasters at Watson's. But then she started feeling soreness in her WHOLE left arm. So we brought her to the doctor's and she had a jab and given some antibiotics and painkillers.
Poor her. :8/
Thank God everything's alright now :8)
Anw, my ma and I felt that it was sth God allowed to happen.
To me, it was a lesson about not taking things for granted. (although it doesn't rly have a direct relation to the incident)
To my ma, she said that in our spiritual life, we should always be aware bcos the devil can strike anytime. And also to be aware of whether we're drifting off into where God doesn't want us to go. We should not even let ourselves be even a LITTLE bit in danger. Must always look out.

Okay, one funny thing was, the neighbour gave us 10 bottles of kaya free! HAHAHAHA. We don't know how we're gonna finish them now.
And yknow what? When my ma was being attacked by the dog, I didn't do anything. I just stood there watching everything. Idk if it was bcos I didn't dare to go near the dog, I was too shocked, or bcos I'm just too self-centered. Tsk. I didn't even go help her up. All I could ever do was say 'Pain anot?' 'Okay anot?'
SO DUH. It's like people asking you 'You cut your hair ah?' when obviously your hair's like 2 inches shorter.
ZOMG.
I must train my protective side. I must protect my friends and family.

I hanged my iPod.

2008-10-23T22:02:00.001+08:00

My iPod hanged!
I just pressed Shuffle Songs
And it just FROZE.
Left me with no music for the day!
Except in my phone.
And I badly needed some music.
So I had to use the painful and itchy earphones that don't stay in the ear anyway. Bad quality too.
So this means that I cannot sell/give my iPod to my sis to get her an iPod. HAHA. Yez that was the intended gift.
I shall save up.
Wash enough cars to buy one.

Oh and my school shoes totally koyaked today.
Getting a pair tmr after sch.
Idk how I'm gonna afford one at <$40 which is what my mother gave me for the shoes. Bcos it's not the school-shoes-sales season yet and I will only wear it for like 2 days on Tues and Wed next week and I'll have to wait til next year. Haha.
Definitely not enough for Lacoste.
Maybe Converse.
Maybe get the cloth one with the elastic band HAHAHA.
Or the famous NY wushu shoes!
Tsk AMK hub so small how to buyyy.

REPORT BOOK

2008-10-23T21:49:00.003+08:00

I HAVE TABULATED THE RESULTS FOR 2008! O: O: O: O: O:
Not good to say everything here luh, but...

Good: MY MSG IS less than 3!!!!!! :8D
Bad: Got only 2 A2s for overall.
G: 3 A1s for SA! (Not surprisingly, engineering subjects) (I rly didn't expect it for Math! Oh and for Math P2, when they were giving us the scripts, I accidentally took somebody's paper and bcos it was as messy as mine, I thought it was mine. I took a look at it and went 'Oh. :8/' But then somebody went 'SHERYL TAKE YOUR PAPER LUH.' Then I took my paper and I did welllll :8) )
B: 2 C6s for SA
G: Chem and Physics are in the 80s.
B: Chinese SA was rlyrlyrly bad. I told you I'm an angmoh haha.
G: Got 3rd (I think) in class for Chem and 2nd in class for Physics!
B: Not 1st. HAHA :8D

I thank God for everything.
All glory to God!

(This SA has been weirddd. It feels like I slacked a lot, but worked very hard when I was studying. I don't rly shop online now that the zams are gone, haha. But during the zams it was rly bad. Spent quite a lot of time on the comp. But of course I made sure it was a reward for some amount of hours spent studying luh. And when it was nearing the zams I wouldn't rly go on the comp. But stillll, I had no idea I had such high productivity levels. And it's not that I can work well, it's God. Through everything, He has been the one thing that remained faithful. My body failed me, my brain failed me, my will failed me, my digestive system failed me. And a lot of other things also went against me. God had been by my side all the time and He guided me through each and every one of those obstacles and I give all my A1s to Him. Not the C6s or B3s or B4s, but the A1s. Okay maybe the bad ones as well, bcos I still managed to pass 60% overall :8) But srsly, I dedicate all my A1s to You.)
(Oh and YEZ James I got an A1 for Chem!)

wuxialiangzhu

2008-10-23T21:02:00.002+08:00

I watched wuxialiangzhu with Amanda today! :8)
I guess the movie was okay.
I rly liked the storyline. Surprises here and there.
But it's the movie! >:8(
Wuzun has improved quite a lot from last time, but he's still better at playing dao roles.
Ahsa's face wasn't too suitable but I think her crying parts were well done.
The music was all at the wrong parts.
When dashixiong was at the dead girl's side, the music was light and joyful? And quite a lot of scenes badly needed some music to boost emotions.
Well, enough of the movie critics heh.
I think I spoiled the movie experience most by reading the storyline on the Cathay website while looking for a suitable timeslot. It was a very brief introduction but it revealed most of the surprises and therefore made it very unexciting for me :8/
Furthermore, the theatre company was rlyrlyrly bad.
A little while after the movie had started, we heard, right behind us:
'Hello?'
'Uh.'
'Wrong number.'
Heehee I totally cracked up!
I was expecting a 'Sorry but I'm watching a movie now.'
That was okay bcos it was just once, but the rest of the times it was rly annoying bcos a group of people were like laughing and commenting at everything.
At the dashixiong carrying the dead girl and bursting through the door and yelling part, they laughed. Totally spoilt a heart-wrenching moment. I mean, yea, he zhaoxiaed. So?
Etc.
But anyway, I kinda rly enjoyed the movie! :8)
And I'm so gonna get the dvd to watch it without any interruptions/distractions.

My hair is short(er)!
Not super short luh.
But the hairdresser said my hair type and amount of hair is quite difficult to manage so she gave me a hairstyle which required styling. K luh, just need to wax lor. It was my first attempt this morning before school! Heehee, bcos it was totally round when I woke up. But the wax lost it's power through the day, or rather, just through the morning. It only survived the morning! So I was stuck with round-ish hair all day.
I shall practise styling after this.
How did the hairdresser make it look so cool yesterday?! :8O

I am not in a very good mood so I shan't post much :8/

This is bad.
I've lost all passion for food.
I'm never hungry anymore.
I'm only eating for nutrients.
Tsk, if this is puberty, I'm getting rly sick of it.
Why do this kinda thing to me, instead of making me taller.
Feel so not me anymore.
Usually I'm the one that says 'Why, diet ah?'
Now everybody's telling me that.
What is this luh pls.

ULTIMATE SLACKETIZATION & DO-WHATEVER-I-WANNA-ZATION!

Thank You Lord for bringing me through the zams.
'Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
That saved a wretch like me.'
I have no idea why God wanted to help me.
That's just his mercy.
I srsly don't deserve it.
Didn't put my heart in studying, doing very stupid stuff.
And yet those panick-prayers were answered.
I was totally at peace at each at every one of those papers.
(I mean, even though I was freaking out outwardly, inside I knew that it'd all be taken care of.)
And for most tough questions, the answer would just pop into my head when I reread the question.
Thank You for guiding me every step of the way.
You are truly full of grace.

Today I went to meet my ma at Little India! 8)
It was so hotttt, ate very bad food but managed to get sth a little bit sparkly for the Dinner and Dance. Don't rly care that it's not that sparkly, just grateful that I have sth to wear!
We were about half paralyzed and dehydrated at the same time but...
We headed down to Plaza Sing cos my ma wanted to go Spotlight, and we had to visit Coldwear there for my China trip.
We spent quite a lot of time at Spotlight looking for sequins and stuff to sew on my Dad's shirt for the Dinner and Dance. Ended up buying them for my Little India blouse. Hawhaw.
Then, I bought my shoeeeeees!
They're not Keds Champions but Keds sth.
Anw, they were so comfortable and bouncy, it was like I didn't need to walk at all, the bounce just bounced my leg up and forward!
And it totally healed my paralyzation.
And the salesman who helped us was so nice!
I made him take like size 7, 7.5, 8 for like 3 kinds of shoes.
And there was 20% for Citibank members or sth but he still gave us 20% though we were ____!
So I ended up having my ma pay.
And guess what, I prayed for shoes.
God is goood.
All the time.
Though when it seems like blessings aren't coming.
But God will come true.
You must have faith!

Oh then we bought bacon and socks from Carrefour and I rly didn't need to tell you that. And I love the cut of the socks, super low-cut v suitable for Keds sneakers, so I'm gonna buy more! 8) All my socks are loose-y alr.

Tmr is stay home day.
My ma says I have to organise all my revision stuff that I just dumped in a pile once that subject paper was over. Meaning that there's half a tree's worth of paper that needs sorting out.
And unpack all my stuff that are still in boxes.
And practise piano/synthe, and hunger for a guitar.
And watch CSI NY and Miami and whatever that comes on.
And maybe get my butt off a chair and exercise! YEZ finally after so long, I have the luxury of energy and time to totally push myself YEAYEAYEAH.
And I can totally mess up my biological clock right now.

I can just smell Batam

God bless to all you As and Os!
I got pray for yall one okay.
Receive the blessing now!

Osherylbinladen has just blessed you.
Bless back! Or give her $.

Nonono plz don't superpoke me but pls include me in your blessings haha.

Weird. Veryvery weird.

2008-10-14T23:28:00.002+08:00

I am hving GREAT difficulty studying/concentrating on math.
But I feel very confident.
This is quite weird.
I am not doing a good thing by not studying,
but is it God that's giving me the wisdom?
Bcos the questions I look at right now seem easy.
This is very uncomfortable.

On the other hand,
this has GOT to be the most gorgeous thing ever!
