Sunset

Hey people!! Haha I know I have not been blogging for ages, sorry! Should have massive updates but currently I am in Shyuan's house blogging away while 'borrowing' her internet connection, so I shall update only a bit of me =)

My internet connection is really giving me lots of problems. Feel like strangling the technician =_=

Anyway, just to inform, I am having fun working at my company. Great colleagues and stuffs. Shall blog about it another time.

And all these weekends that I had after I came back Penang, I nearly spent most of them with my coursemates. Hang around and brought them to various places for sight seeing and places with yummy delicacies. Gosh, thinking of Penang food just makes me hungry ^^

Just came back from Alor Setar yesterday. 6 of us spent 2 days 1 night over there visiting places where Alor Setar people will not visit. Haha. Sounds familiar right? Like Penang people will not go Pulau Jerejak >.<

This trip is surely one that I will always remember =) It meant more than merely a sight seeing trip, and I really appreciate it.

Like sunset, the process is too short. Happy and good moments always do not last long. The most important thing is that we really appreciate the whole sun setting process and cherish every moment of it, keeping the best in our memories and let it stay there forever.



Of course, we hope that our good moments can last forever. But rather than just hoping, I would say, the moment now is the most important thing. No matter what will happen in the future, by cherishing and enjoying every moment of now we are having is the best thing we can do.

I have learnt my lesson. Be happy and be good to myself are what I shall always keep in mind =) Dom Dom, Xue Le is happy so no worries ya!

"乐" - Le (happiness)

So what can I say more?

I love sunset.




But I definitely love YOU more ^^

Sis, Happy 21st Birthday!

There is this someone who once walked into my life and have always stayed in my heart. Though we are now parted in 2 different places, but we are still keeping in touch with each other from time to time. So who is this girl?

Today is her birthday and finally she has turned 21 years old! Haha Ee Wen, you are old already!!

I knew her ever since my first tuition. Is it the first tuition? I can't remember. All I could remember is it was an English tuition taught by my aunty. She was then my tuition mate, schoolmate, classmate and good friends. We have known and be friends for more than 10 years. And for some reasons, we became sisters in high school...

We became quite distant friends ever since I came to UTAR and she attented Disted in Penang which later on she went to INTI in Nilai. Once in a while we chatted through MSN, but most of the times either I'm busy or she'll be busy. The very last time we went out together was during her summer holidays this year. It's about half a year d huh?

Reminiscing back the old memories, I realised that over these years many things happened between us yet we still are friends, one that I still consider as a trustable and good friend.

Back then in primary school, we were good friends. Became "Pengawas Kebersihan" together so that we could go on duty together, which was sweeping the staff rooms corridor every Friday morning. I still remember she's the one I told secrets to and we had crush on the same lucky guy =) But well in the end, neither of us were together with him. Every recess time we would sit at the same old place in the canteen eating the same old thing. I could still remember she always ate bread prepared by her beloved mom.

Eventually we grew up and went to the same high school. But in the whole 5 years, we never have the chance to be in the same class. But still, we got to meet every now and then in school. In high school, we were boths guides and went to the same camp together in F2. I remembered we had disagreements before, argued and parted. But somehow, the bond between us was still there. At that time, I was just too immature.

We made new friends in high school and eventually we tend to hang out with our own gang. Soon we graduated but still keep in touch. I hope that sis, we can still still be sisters forever. Miss u greatly... hope you'll do well there! Take care. Lots of hugsss from me, and lots of love too!

Happy 21st birthday, Wen!! May all your dreams come true =) Hang out again when you are back alright? Take care!

A Singaporean Friend

Kenny, is a Singaporean who came to Penang for his 1-month industrial training. He is training in the same company as Zhi Ling in Polytool and came along with us last night to Farlim night market.

I always feel proud when people give awesome comments about Penang. As usual, I asked him how he felt about Penang in his 1 month stay here. His answers were:

"The food is really nice."
"And the people are friendly."

Well, food of course I will definitely say they are delicious. But I am really glad he felt that Penangites are friendly =) Then am I friendly as well?? Haha.

Anyway he made a statement which made this 1st meeting and probably the last one an unforgettable one.

After Zhi Ling fetched me and Shyuan we chatted non-stop on the car. I would say I totally had no image in front of this new friend haha. Anyway when we reached and got down the car, he whispered to Zhi Ling about something which made Zhi Ling laughed like hell.

Zhi Ling was so excited and went on like:


ZL: "Sherril, Sherril, I want to tell you something about what Kenny said just now."

S: "What did he say? Must be something about me lo."

ZL: "He said he was shocked to see you SO SHORT."

S: "........."

S: "Haven't you seen people like me in this height??"

(I can't hear properly what he said except this sentence)
K: "我吓到。在车里我还以为你蛮高的。"
[trans: I was shocked. I thought you are tall when you're in the car]

S: "......."
S: "没看过这样矮的人meh?新加坡没有这样高度的女生meh?"
[trans: Haven't you seen such short person? Singapore does not have this kind of girls meh?]

(I think this was his answer)
K: "Nope, I haven't seen before."

S: "............" (laughing hard)


Then I quickly told him that my height is at least over 150cm and I am surely NOT the shortest in uni. Haha nothing to be proud of but nothing to be ashamed of too. I find his reactions and comments very funny because normally people's comments about me are "You are short."

But his was like "How come there is such short person on the earth?"

Haha. But he is indeed a friendly guy who happens to be in the same course as us. After chatting more with him only then I knew that there are not much chinese night markets in Singapore and he has not seen Taiwan Sausage and Lok Lok before. Cool because Penang is full of them and he can eat as much as he like since he will be leaving on Friday.

Anyway this night market trip left me wondering about 2 questions.


1. Are Singaporean girls all tall and there are really no petites at all???
2. What makes he think that I am tall in the first place based on my voice???

What is LIFE?

Finally I get to online (previously there was connection problem with my house line) and I should be blogging about something happy since I have just celebrated my 21st birthday. But something is holding me back.

Am I really 21?

I do not think so.

I do not look like 1. I do not act like 1. And my thinking is still so childish.

Suddenly, someone's words affected me a lot.

We always think how unfortunate we are, how the world is unfair to us. But really, are we that unlucky? Are we really the MOST unfortunate ones? To think of it, my answer is "No".

Perhaps, I should learn not to limit my sight. I have been living a comfortable life the moment I was born. I should be grateful for what I have had now and not to complain about it. In life, there are so many more things which are more important. But have I ever thought about that?

Because of some problems, I thought about giving up life. But there are people out there who faced greater challenges than me, yet they continued on fighting for it. What have I been thinking all this while? What is life?

Suddenly, I am lost. I am not sure what am I pursuing for in life. Happiness? Love? Success? What is my priority and what should be my major concerns??

I think I have no rights to talk about WHAT IS LIFE. All those shits that I have been talking all this while... I talked without understanding the true meaning behind it.

It is time for me to refresh my mind and look things in another perspective, viewing things in a larger picture. I need to grow up, I really need to.

Your words have stunned me. I am sorry that I have offended you. I am truly sorry.

Finally, it is my turn!

Hi people! Haha I know it has been such long time ever since the last post. Hmm was busy with finals, then went Malacca with friends.

Then finally, it is my turn for industrial training. I cannot believe that I am actually a Year 3 Engineering student already! Too bad my knowledge is like Year 1 or 2. Gotta buck up more haha. Currently I am working in Advanced Ceramics Technology under Crest Ultrasonics, just opposite Auto City.

So wondering how's my first few days of internship? Haha I am not that lucky, currently still checking stock =_= I do not have my own working place nor a computer to use. So I cannot be like the rest who can MSN here and Facebook there. All I did was to check the condition of stock (something like quality control).

Anyway I heard lots of interesting stories from my coursemates regarding their internship. The VERY MOST interesting story was Kok Yik's. He was sent by his company to Pantai Hospital to do some maintenance like air conditioner maintenance etc. You know what he saw? He saw the camera which shows the process of doctor doing operation on patient, cut here and there. Then the coolest part was he got to go into "bilik mayat"!!! Haha he said it was not fun at all and I think if I were him I would be scared to death but... that experience must be so thrilling and memorable!!!

Then those who went Sony for intern I heard that the company uses fingerprints verification for entry permit. Wow, really high tech right? But their uniform and shoes a abit... FUNNY haha. Thank god I can wear casual everyday!!!! Wohoo~!

There was another person who was really daring. He actually fall asleep for 1 hour inside the same room as his supervisor!!! And the weirdest part was his supervisor didn't even wake him up or scold him. Really.. speechless.

Some were less fortunate during their 1st day. Not only the air conditioner in their company was out of order, they had nothing to do at all. The weather was hot like hell and all they did was surfing the net and playing games.

So am I counted lucky? Haha personally I have no comments. Do you have any interesting stories about your internship? Do share if you have!

By the way, thanks my dear friends who have helped me to celebrate my birthday in advance!! Thanks for the surprise birthday for me and Zhi Ling, I am really happy ^^ That was my 1st 21st birthday celebration! Then my dear babes, thanks for your time. The cake was awesome too!! Miss you all~~

Guess I gotta go to bed early. My daily routine will be: wake up at 6am, go out at 6.45am, start work at 7.30pm, finish work at 5pm and reach home approximately at 5.30pm (if it is not raining and leave company punctually).

Happy internship and adios~!

A Special Call

Slightly before I went uni for exam, I received an unexpected call. A call that made me bewildered a moment. Guess it reminded me that no matter how old you are, in your parents' eyes, you will always be their little kid whom they will always worry and fuss about.

Because in my parents' eyes (especially my mum, serious!), I will always be the small, little girl in the house. You know till today, sometimes in my parents' conversations I can still hear them calling me "that small girl". Haha... I do not mind, since I am indeed the youngest in the family.

Anyway regarding the call, eventhough it was not from my parents, it reminded me about my own parents' concerns about me and my brother. Sometimes we may think that our parents do not understand us, but is it always that way?

Maybe at times they really do not understand due to generation gap (at least my mom is the most open-minded among her sisters, thank god!), but their constant naggings, advices are for our own good. After all, they are just worried and concern about us. That is why I have been trying hard to change my temper over these years.

Over the phone, I could sense sadness and worries in her voice. Somehow it ached my heart when I talked to her. Maybe because I could understand how she felt as we are concerned about the same person. Or maybe because it reflected to me how my parents felt all this while when I lost my temper unintentionally or when I faced some difficulties.

I hope I can change to be a better person, and I am really trying hard to achieve that. My 21st birthday wish? Ah, that would be sufficient enough.

2 more papers to go and I am done with finals. For now, I need some sleep to forget everything about today's paper. Because tonight I shall need space to memorize new stuffs for tomorrow's paper - Engineer in Society.

Wondering what is the subject all about? Nah, just forget about it because I am sure NONE of you will be interested in this subject. Really.

A Post for You, Babe =)

Attention: This is merely a post for a special friend of mine. Do not care to read it if you do not want to since it is quite a lengthy one.

********************************************

So, finally I have finished writing a post for you =)

I was actually halfway through the first one, but somehow when I got back later to finish it up, I just feel I need to write another 1. Haha you know, my mood when I was writing just now and now is totally different. Do not misunderstand, I am not moody or what and also not because of you. Maybe, it is because of the exam stress or some other things.

I have been pondering Vivian Tan, how on earth can I get along well with you?

Needless to say, we know that your remarks and comments are nearly always hurtful. Yet deep down in our hearts we know that you are nearly always right. You have been pouring cold water onto me all this while. Haha did you realise that among you 3, I have never called you before and cry about my problems? I just realized that ^^

I guess it is because I have this habit of choosing the less hurtful advice to listen to. I did not want to be hurt even more. People have been telling me, you should go and let Vivi "slap you hard on your face" so that you can wake up. Haha, yeah I know but I chose not to because I was avoiding the reality.

To be frank, there were times I was mad at you, but the madness just lasted for a few minutes. Should I say you are the most rational and more to reality person among us? Or Yee? Haha... Fernie is definitely out of the list, she is too naive =) Sometimes I admire you secretly (because if I "guang ming zheng da" admire you will "boi kiao") because you can always be so daring and rational. Unlike me, always so useless.

Maybe what you told Fernie about the latest "news" was correct after all. Fernie told me last night when I called her. (Fernie, sorry k for bugging you, again) Vivi, actually I have thought of that before too. Maybe I am just stubborn. Wah, finally, I admit I am a stubborn girl. LOL.

But with you 3 around and the other sisters as well, I know I still have you all eventhough I am left with nothing else. The darkest days are over and I have really recovered. Really, I would like to apologize to you and the rest for my bad attitude and letting you all down again and again. I knew from the start 1 day when I look back I will feel that I was silly, but I was too lost that time. True enough, looking back now made me laugh my ass out of myself. I have wasted my past half year doing useless things.

I am not saying the things in the paragraph above because of the fantasy happened. Nope, not at all. Whether it happened or not, I will still be saying. Though your mouth is really really really toxic, I must admit you have your point clearly stated. Just, the way for you to show concern for your friends is a bit... harsh. Haha..

I know you will say, "Sure la, I am Vivian Tan and I am like this. Must be "tok" enough to let you all "wake up"."

Haha "dai ke jeh", maybe you should just be a little bit more gentle? But I guess, that will be weird lo if 1 day you become like this.

Oh tell you 1 more thing to let you feel happy. That day when I hang out with Fernie and the rest, she mentioned about you always asking her about how am I? Haha siao cha bor, why didn't you ask me yourself? I did not tell Fernie when she told me, but actually I was secretly touched. TOUCHED. Babe... I was touched because of you. Wanna cry liao haha. Sorry that I made you worry about me all the way from Penang k? (or you weren't?) I actually thought you already "mou ngan tai" me since I myself already "mou ngan tai" myself.

Sigh.

Anyway, ask Fernie to fill you and Yee in with the details about my call to her last night ya. I am lazy to tell again. But please... DO IT PRIVATELY in your msn. Do not spam my chatterbox with these things.... hehe

So, the question - How on earth can I get along well with you?

People who do not know you will surely hate you to the max for your "chao chui" habit. Guess because we are BFFs that is why we know that deep down in your heart, you are just concern about us. Thanks babe, I really appreciate everything though I might hate you sometimes hahaha.

That is all that I wanna say. Love you, babe ^^ I mean it =)


p/s: Eh, the other 2 of you, don't be jealous k since this post is not for you all. Haha, one day if I have the sudden urge to write, I will. Miss you all!!

pp/s: I have disabled the comment section for this entry. Get back to me when you're online k?

Heart Attack~!

Yeah those who played the game called "Heart Attack" last night all got heart attack~! Haha, those who were being hit and those who got to hit the others all went back home with reddish / blue blackish palms and hands.

It was an awesome night, celebrating 2 coursemates' birthdays at Little Tree.



They are Cho Giap and Tze Yu. Though it was nothing luxurious, it was the quality time that all of us spent together that I treasure a lot.

Cho Giap with the cake

There were 23 of us (some did not attend though) and sat around 9 tables. Seldom we had gathering of this sort as it is quite hard to gather everyone who are from different gangs. The last time should be 20 of us flooded the cinema just to watch Transformers. So it was nice having fun with the rest sometimes ^^

We played games like it was the last day of finals. But the actual fact was, we just finished with the 2nd paper, 4 more to go. But I guess last night was a break for everyone, before starting the tiring journey to Friday's paper - Entrepreneurship.

Argh, people tell me, how to memorize 15 chapters of Entrepreneurship in 3 days?! This is sooo crazy.... even crazier when Engineering students are required to take this subject. Sigh.

Worries about other things should be put aside first. I need full concentration to get everything about Entre into my brains and digest everything well.

All the best to everyone who's taking this subject. I know WE CAN DO IT!!!

*but still doubtful about myself*

10th of Septemter 2009

OMG OMG OMG!!!

Hahaha, I think I am going to be crazy soon. I have been smiling since the moment I woke up. Everything becomes so beautiful to me. Argh, so this is how people will feel huh when their wish/dream comes true.

So regarding my previous post, yeah my dream turns out to be NOT a dream after all. I am not going to tell yet what the hell is happening to me as I still want to double confirm that my dream has actually come true and not just stopping right there the next moment. LOL

I did not expect it to happen and could not even see it coming. Everything just came in 1 shot and there I was still quite stunned.

Till now, I still feel like I am dreaming.

*slap myself to wake up*

Maybe being in a fantasy for a while is not that bad after all. Let us see if this fantasy will last any longer. *praying hard*

10th of September 2009.

What a fateful day for me. I shall never forget how much joy this day has brought to me...


-sherril=xuele-

How will you react to impossible-turns-possible situation?

When something that you think is most likely impossible to happen actually happened, how will you react?


A. Happy until the extent that you are going crazy.
B. Stunned and speechless.
C. Normal. Since people like to say "nothing is impossible".
D. Choose not to believe and ignore.
E. Uncertain.


For me, my answer is E. I am not sure how should I react.

The actual fact is, something out of my expectation really happened. Like happened right in front of my eyes. Everything was too real, too fantasy. Until now, I still cannot believe that it actually happened and is still happening.

Am I dreaming? Please slap me as hard as you can if this is merely a dream.

I really have no idea how long will this fantasy go on.

Perhaps something went wrong and this is happening? Is it just a mistake?

Part of me wants it to be real, but part of me wants me to wake up and face the story behind it.

Or there is actually NO story behind? *shrugs shoulders*

Whatever it is, I have decided not to think too much. Right now, exam is the most important thing to me. I do not want to screw up my papers again if possible.

Currently my progress of revision is not too ideal. Have to buck up even more to get back to my usual level of readiness.

Ah and 1 more thing, I realized I am starting to handle things in a very cool and calm way after chatting with my cousins. Seeing how they are reacting right now is like looking back at myself when I was still in the emo phase. Suddenly I felt that, eh I have actually felt so much better than I thought.

Weird enough, 3 of us actually 'sat luin' together, all because of the same reason - "fan jin". Haha no wonder we are called cousins, wtf.

Alright, all the best to all UTARians for the upcoming finals. Let us face the battle bravely together!
