In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.
So I throw my life upon all You are,
‘Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.
----------------------------------------------------------
Father, I thank You for all that You've done.
You gave Your Son freely for me.
And I praise You for calling me, drawing me near.
Out of blindness You caused me to see.
Spirit of life, You are God's holy fire.
You've kindled my heart with Your blaze.
And I know You're refining me, changing my life.
And by faith You're revealing Your ways.
Jesus, I need You as Lord of my life.
I give all I have unto You. Lord, I want to come under
Your heavenly had, And to praise You in all that I do.

i've decided. i want my hamster to have a name related to chocolate, like, TRUFFLE or fudge____ or something like that. hahahha. because i love chocolate if you haven't already known/realised.
it has a big cage now, complete with 2nd level,exercise wheel, stairs, a long complicated tunnel(not fully used cos it going to be too complicaed for that little crazy thing). it perfected the skill of climbing up the metal rails that makes up the cage. one problem, it doesn't know how to get down properly. therefore it just drops down from near the top. ouch. ouch. ouch. ouch. heart pain.hahha. really. but it seems all too accustomed to falling. :/
ok i'm going to start on my homework. can't make it down for sonicfest tomorrow, there's drama handover. bummer. never mind. there's still FOP to look forward to and i sure hope there's nothing on on that friday. and theres CIP this sat at east coast. clean up. hmm, wow,how interesting. oh well, at least we get to go on a sort of "og outing" lalalala.

WOOHOOO i have a small baby hamster.actually half shared with jeri, with caryn as the godma, but i brought it home. thanks jialing!! :) haha i'll take good care of it! hammieeehamsterrrrcutieeepie!!!!
that thing doesnt have a name yet,(no caryn i'm not naming it hamchop) while i try to think of a name, it'll be nameless. hamsters eat ham (not kidding, it did eat ham)
hamsters are just so cute. the way they clean themselves, the way they nibble the small pieces of food, the way they curl up in a ball and sleep, the way the scurry around, the way they scamper around so fast when you get it out of the cage, sometimes its a little scary.
and so everyones attention was on the small furball the whole day long. so cute! the hamster's a pigggy, sleeps alot.
math test on thursday. blehhh.

i was on the bus at abt 7+, it was raining heavily, there was a jam at the TPE. i thought to myself how almost perfect the whole setting was. the raindrops and droplets on the window, me sitting next to the window, with the book "every young woman's battle" in hand,reading it of course (thanks sinyi, i'll try to read afap-as fast as possible so i can read it a few times through), mp3 player in my ear, playing just the right music to complement the rainy weather, yellow light shining through the window casting shadows of the rain-dropped window on the pages of the book. ahhhh i wish i could stay on the bus longer.

HELLO! HELLO! HELLO!.( ahhaah the "!" pronounced as the clicking sound made when you click your tongue and upper jaw-gum area") !!!!!!
oh crap i'm feeling VERY sleepy. explains my sian face. ZZZZZ. and i have a slight headache. plus i have been having running nose for the past two and a half days, that was a slight flu. and i had sore throat on what, thursday. looks like i need more sleep.
comm meeting today overshot majorrrrly alot. so sorry, esp since aunty lucy asked me to chase alvin out of my house by 3. and i understand how parents will continue about ending late and all.
session yesterday on "answers in genesis" was good(haha). it answered alot of questions and for the first time i saw the young little ym boys sitting still listening. check out www.answersingenesis.org. its all about the scientific and INTELLECTUAL stuff, which is interesting. ok weekends are over. great i have a few more hours to do my work. sleep first. ew i havent exercised this week. once only. :/
we were forced to draw out a revision timetable. i'll make something feasible and keep to it. later. ms yee spent half her tutorial lesson motivating us. we're even planning to start a study group. dont worry im not turning into a mugger overnight.just more motivated and hardworking. i hope. i really wonder how people get their 4As/3As at JCTs. i'll save mine for A levels. haha. ohh i wannaaaa watch charlie and the chocolate factoryyyyyy. oh i ate alot of chocolate today, jeri dont kill me.

beloved 2B!
4B1! :)
more PHOTOS! (click)shift back to shutterfly for the time being cos imagestation is not cooperating with my comp.
went back to PL today. WHEEEE i realised quite long ago how i love PL so much compared to TJ. not that i have anything against TJ, but i just LOVE PL! can't say the same for the other. hahah just collected the o level cert today, so i've OFFICIALLY passed my o levels! that slip looked so good compared to my JCT one.
it feels good to get back with your long-time-no-see friends and do major catching up. i'm so thankful for the many friends in PL, both the cliques and the not-so-close. even if we arent that close, i still miss them. :) the 3b1,4b1, 2B,1B people. LOVE YOU ALL! theres just this indescribable feeling of gladness when i go back to MY PL. the familiar air, the familiar people. its there that i really feel at home.
its amazing, really, how 2b can stay so close for SO LONG. and i mean SO LONG. its been what, 3 years already?! i remember the sec 1 times, actually i don't. cos we werent that close yet, we were just getting quite alot of first places in competitions, thats all. then we became more united in sec 2 and it was the best school years i had, :) i do hope we have more of such events so we won't lose touch easily. its true, the friends you make in sec sch do remain your best friends and they'll last you a lifetime. at least for many years down the road. i'll be really disappointed if we all lost touch. ohhh, LETS HAVE 2B CHALET!!!!!! llallalala. AND A 4B1 ONE TOO!
some things never change, and its just like that in PL. although many of their appearances did change, of cos they are PRETTIER! :) , we are still the same old us. same old crazy us, who tell cold jokes(now better known as lame jokes), laugh like siao, talk nonstop. ahhhh i get nostalgic just thinking of these. thanksgiving was just like chapel service. i miss chapel. for 8 months there was no such thing as "chapel". even though we talk alot during chapel cos we arent paying attention to the sermon, its something already integrated that seems missing when well, its absent. haha.(sorry i can't think straight now, its 1am). i miss the worship sessions(even though we have limited songs) oh i love the pebble door gift thing. these small little things make me love pl even more. i want my pl days back.the seniors always tell us to treasure our days in PL, didn't really get to us till this year.
school's still boring. but i'm going to set my mind on daily mugging. (mugging is quite a "light" term to me) i dont mean intensive, just constant. im not failing my promos, no one can afford to, its a whole new syllabus next year.
i've been having fun pasting photos printed on paper in a big scrapbook-like notebook. i like that becuase i get to draw all over and write my own captions. of cos the most recent are still on my wall, and those i can't bear to take down, like the clan ones, the og ones. but the pasting was totally distracting. thats why i didnt complete my assignments which were due today. what to do, these things are far more interesting.
anyway, packed weekend ahead again. how to mug like that, how to go jogging like that. hahaha lalalla.

WOTO! today's the unofficial racial harmony day in TJ. it wasnt very racial harmony day-ish, unlike PL. cos not many people had/wanted to wear costumes. sorry i tend to compare these things with PL. so anyway jeri and i skipped group PE (therefore we'll need to do a make-up PE , 500 skipping) cos we wanted to save the trouble of changing after that. the morning atmosphere was funny. got to school, went to the toilet and wanted to help winnie with her sari, some year 2 girl had to end up helping her, hahaha. so the a few bunches of girls were in the toilet and we were late for assembly so we just hid in the toilet and waited. didn't take alot of photos today :( i was just browsing last years photos, brings back the memories.
my throat feels weird. minor sore throat i guess. thats good, in a way. :) i won't succumb to eating junk food. i bought kinder bueno yesterday. its both a good and bad move. good because i have withdrawn from signs of chocolate withdrawal symptom, bad because, when i have chocolate, i go mad. chocolate on a daily basis. which reminds me, i have to go snack shopping for sunday's ycomm meeting. hmm, maybe we should try a food-free meeting. lardeeedummmm dedummm lalallala tralallalala i finally understand some school work. YAY. have any idea how happy and unstupid i feel? ya i'm sure u do. i'll be a good girl and go through one chapter of work everyday. i want to eat icecream!

CHOC. FUDGE BROWNIE!
You scored 77% SWEET, 77% CHUNKY, and 59% UNIQUE! |
chocolate ice Cream with fudge brownies
Very sweet, very wild, and very fun! People flock to this ice cream flavor, just as they flock to you. You love being surrounded by friends and getting crazy together! You could probably stand to calm down a little, but the kind of freedom you feel is inspiring. You really care about the people in your life and party hard, but are open to new ideas and experiences. |
 |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
|
You scored higher than 81% on SWEET |
|
You scored higher than 74% on CHUNKY |
|
You scored higher than 35% on UNIQUE |
|
WOOOHOOOO this looks really yummy. i like cookie dough and strawberry cheesecake and fudge brownie and ... :) ice cream makes me happy. i just broke my sort-of chocolate fast anyway, cos my mom brought back australian choc-covered mac nuts. ahhh ok this will take quite awhile. :/
im eating those small plain cream cracker biscuits with honey now. i thought of trying that a few days ago. i put too much honey, haha. its quite nice, just too sweet. go try. just dont put that much honey. i'm going to get a sugar high later. just as well, i'll need it. and i've a sweettooth, so it doesnt matter.:) it'll take me a whole lot of discipline to eat less junk in between meals. see all the wonderful food outside. almost everywhere its food food food. especially since half of the food look appetizing. i've been off chocolate for quite awhile. (applause) i've found a new love. chewy GRANOLA BARS! the healthier alternative! i just ate two today.
i enjoy my walk back home so much. last time i used to rush from the bus stop to my house cos i didnt want to walk that seemingly neverending pathway. now i want that path to be even longer, so i can spend more time alone, spend more time with mp3 playing in that background while i walk along. before i can even think halfway, i'm home. maybe i should take a longer route home next time.
schools getting real boring. the only "attraction" are MY FRIENDS, :):):) sometimes,i hate routine. can't wait for friday, then i can go back to PL and see SOMEMORE LOVELY LOVELY FRIENDS. you girls are THE BEST! i need to go catch up on some school work. (its just like me to be "all words no action" or whatever that phrase is hahaha) but today is going to be different! (see what i mean by daily motivation)

the weekends are almost over. dreadful. i havent done anything really productive except for going to church today. :) anyway we had drama camp and it was simply just games and elections and slack time. was still contemplating running for exco cos it didnt require running actually, it was just a post put in front of me, FOC, sure get in thing, just stand there and answerg some really weird questions which i actually see no point in. know why, cos there weren't enough people running for exco.
blah anyway i didnt run lah, duhh. ahhaa. i decided i will be a typical student once again, in school and devote the extra time that could be put into school, to the YM and ycomm, and deepening my spiritual growth. ycomm will be my primary and only comm thing. :) cos ultimately, i want to be doing stuff that will count. if you get what i mean. all things on earth are just temporial, God's kingdom's eternal :) oh i heard that the altar-callish thing yesterday at ym was quite power, praise God for that! :D
had combined service today at 1030. its due time we moved out of our current premises to some bigger place which can actually house more people. once again it is wonderful to see His work in us, the church members bringing more people to church, etc. i say etc cos there are many more things to be thankful for. sat in for ACM after that. ahh i guess the church is seriously considering moving to telok kurau (AG home). well, if its really His will, then we move! hahha but it is far, for some.
went to little india after that to look for something for racial harmony day. ran into pearlyn zhizhan and weldon there, fortunately. :) did save me alot of time and trouble of walking around. anyway i got a sareeeeeeeee. :) (ya michelle, got you) i always wanted to try wearing one for racial harmony day. finally am. ok i better do my work now. im getting fat, i've been eating alot during camp and just now and now and ....... (i'm going to cut myself off)
i WAS doing badly in school and
it WAS all my fault
i WAS putting only 10% effort
therefore 10%-type results
i have to go for remedials (all cept for gp, chi no remedial)
i supposed i'd have to see the principal
it'll take me awhile to
adjust to being at the bottomof course i won't adjust! haha. no lah, i mean it'll take me awhile to get over this
i could do with a good progress award ,year-end.($100, at least) :)
i'm someone who needs daily motivation. maybe even hourly.
"lardeedummm deee dumm lallalaaalal tralallala dumdeeedumm lalallalala"- this is whats going through my mind now, really. one of the stupidly random things. i think i have alot of work to do but im not really sure. :/ and theres chi listening tmr, actually, i forgot all abt it till jeri's sms. ahha. :)
nowadays it seems like i have so much more things on my to do list. so much so i have to write them all down on paper, on a few post-its. they don't include pieces of homework. but i do enjoy ticking them off. nice feeling isnt it. -i did this, i did this, oh yay, only left with this! haha-

going for drama camp tmr after school, i wonder what we will be doing. i didnt volunteer to run for anything or plan for camp cos, from what i see, the comm gets scolded quite often. anyway, i wont be at ym on saturday. lalala see you all on sunday!
typing meeeeeneeeets (minutes) for PW now. i shall openly declare that I HATE PW. HATE PW!!!! grrr. watch me improve on my 4 a level subjects. hahah i didnt get all Fs, but thats not the point. they are all 'fail' grades. i am going to pass everything by promos. aim high: i'm going to get B grades. maybe even an A somewhere. hahah actually Bs arent even easy to obtain. some b grades are high 60s.
i want to sleepppp. i still have tutorials to do. nothing very interesting happening in my life at present. zzzzzzz

just some random stuff.
i've been psyching myself alot these days. the two "unfortunate" happenings i talked abt last week? are just a wake-up call. yup, WAKE UP CHERYL, WAKE UP. now i do stuff like write "pay attention in lecutures and tutorials, do tutorials, exercise" in my organiser.
the bear balloon is deflating. don't mind me, i can't help but talk about my CUTE BEAR! hahaha. if it were a plant tissue, it'd be flaccid. i can bear(pun intended) to see it deflate. the way it floats around is ever-so-scary. but its nice to have something smiling at you every time u glance over. don't worry i'll preserve the flattened remains. right now, its tied to the chair,floating around, kinda like how a dog is tied to some railing.
just when school was starting to get really boring. i'll like to call it 'self-entertainment'. oh we do that everyday. and i thank God for my scg mates too! :)
waiting for the ch8 drama serial to start. lalalala. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY XUELING AH MA the TAIHOU! (red the ji li colour,cos we're oh-so-chinese)
Tuesday, July 12, 2005
for the record, i jogged twice in 14 hours.
the hongkong actor on the 9pm ch8 show now, whatever his name is, is SO SO VERY good looking. nice charming smile -melts-. new eyecandy! ahahha.
biological clock is screwed. i can't do any work in the afternoon, i end up taking naps. at night's the best time for doing work. i'm going to be good and do my tutorials, and read lecture notes, catch up with what i was supposed to have known at jcts.
Monday, July 11, 2005
just got back from jogging a while ago. today was one of the days where i actually got my lazy self out of the house to exercise. exercising does actually make u feel better. you know, that sense of achievement. :)
something random, my dad picked up 10dollars while walking along town. so many times i visit town and i dont pick up money. all i pick up is coins. :( wait, i dont even pick them up. hahah this reminds me of the time we picked up $2 in the classroom, it was making a rustling noise against the floor, SUDDENLY. as if it dropped from the sky. well, maybe it did.
we got back all our papers already. the only things i passed were GP and chinese. congratulations cheryl, seems like your brain's maximum capability is AO level. oh surprisingly my chinese marks topped my personal "result slip". yes i am somewhat at the bottom, ok i am at the bottom (if it sounds serious enough) of my class in terms of grades. they dont have to print it out in black and white, i can tell.
from now on, everyday is mugger day. did i mention, i dislike bio structured questions because they PULLED MY MARKS ALL THE WAY DOWNDOWNDOWN. if not for that i woul have gotten a B at least. some people just have all the hardworking genes. so for slack-ish people like me, we just have to work hard at being hardworking(funny as it sounds). its going to take me alot of effort and determination. maybe i should jog more to build up something called DETERMINATION. yup, big thank you to those whom i can rant to about my horrendous grades. :)
the bear balloon is still freaky, but cute. you may want to know that i kicked it a few times. but its still so smile-able(cos i cant hug it duhh) hahaha i want hamsterrrr. i havent been eating real chocolate bars for the past few days. -gasp please- but i did eat chocolate icecream and a few m&ms minis from the cake deco and chocolate cake. haha
oh, i've been paying attention during lectures today. this is a good sign. a good beginning(continuation rather). i hope i can continue like that. paying attention does help, no doubt. and i will do some tutorials. one thing at a time.

YM ANNIVERSARY PHOTOS! oh i hate my comp. really. i just typed an entry twice. twice i typed a long entry. and the comp just closed the thing, cos theres some kinda virus in it and its really irritating me. i copied the thing for safety reasons but it just couldnt paste. AHHHHHH BISHBISH anyway as i was typing , FOR THE THIRD TIME ALREADY. good thing im patient, can.
so i moved here cos i wanted a change of address i was supposed to go down to kuochuan today for the funfair but then i woke up, then fell alsleep again at 1245pm, 15 mins before our meeting time. THANK YOU SAM FOR THE BIG (slightly freaky) BEAR! i wont let it scare me tonight.
so we had YM's TENTH ANNIVERSARY TODAY! its wonderful to see our God's mighty hand on us all these years and more! He's truly been faithful! OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!
we weren't looking in the direction of my camera. oh well, this is most of our ymers anyway :)
and a BIG THANK YOU goes out to all who made this possible in one way or another. my mom and dad and other parents who cooked for us! aunty genin rachel and sam for baking the yumm cake ! penny evan weiqi elizabeth rachel for coming early to decorate the cake, seperate the m&ms, carefully place the hearts, picking out the letterings! goes well with my background :)haha
tricia shirlynn enlin janice sinyi for drawing up the "YM tenth N-EVERSARY" thing and rushing down to put it up! 
evan and rachel for sharing!
alvinchew jawn samanthasim yihui fanching peien crystal tim for leading/pplaying/singing for worship and having much prac sessions! and the ycomm for planning! HUGEHUGE THANK YOU!
i think the ymers are really my closest friends asides from my sec sch cliques (you know who you are, muthu clan, huanggong). we share, grow, spend our weekends together, i'm thankful for all the friendships forged. :) thank God for all you wonderful people! LOVE YOU ALL! a few years more down the road when most of us will be in yacell, we'll look back at our ym times, and laugh! lol i'll miss ym when i go to yacell. who really leaves ym by the way.
so we had a fun funfun time today. i got cream smeared on my face, leaving me with cream on my face, tee, and hair. eww. but oh well, its tradition. every year we all end up smearing cream. creamed with the darlings ;)
i'm full -burp- hhaa. stood around taking lots of crappy photos, and talking nonsense.go see the photos. so, while bumming, i decided to let my bear balloon down the stairs, meaning from the second level, it floats down to the bottom of the flight of stairs. see, it has paper clips attached to the legs so it sinks. anyway the people downstairs were like, hahha what the heck. i tell you, that bear's freaky.
went to faiths house after the whole thing. hahah although i already sms-ed you, it doesnt hurt to dedicate part of my entry to yoU! LOVE YOU FAITH YEO! YOYOYO! ahaha. i'll be missing you! see you soon! online too! 
ok i better go to sleep now i have to wake up earlier. quickly upload the photos! :)
