Thank yous....

       It's 29th of June at 3.57am and I'm not sleeping.I am supposed to run some errands with my mum tomorrow,or should I say later. I have to get up at 8am but I am not sleeping right now. What's this?

       4 more days then I'll be off to KL to study in UPM. Maybe I'm too excited about it until I cannot sleep. It has been around 10 days I knew about this news yet I still cannot believe it. I am going to the university. It has always been my dream. I thought I'd never been able to make it. 

       UPM! Universiti Putra Malaysia! Wow. I never thought that I was gonna make it. All the hard work during Form 6 totally paid off. I know my results weren't so good,but I've tried my best. I've sacrificed a lot.

       First of all, I'd like to thank God for blessing me.

       Second,I'd like to thanks to all my teachers and family who supported me. Special thanks to Miss Yee who taught me Economics,I'm still feeling guilty that I didn't get an A in Economics, oh well. You are a great teacher,it's just that I'm not a good student to deserve an A I guess. Thanks to Mr. Michael Ng as well for all the great advises. Never gonna make it without these 2 great tuition teachers from Tanjung Tuition Centre.

      I'd like to thank my parents for their encouragement as well. I thought I never gonna make it but my dad kept telling me "TRY YOUR BEST!!! TRY YOUR BEST!!! I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT." Hahaha.. Thanks to my cousins Sheen and Wendy too. Thanks for all the advises. Thank you to all my family members who gave me kind supports and red packet and all the advises. I love you all. My family is my greatest asset in my life. It's the most valuable asset that money can't buy. I feel very honored to be part of this family. 

       I feel proud and happy and also excited to enter to the university. Somehow I am sad to leave my family and friends here. I know I will be back during semester break,but this is the very first time leaving home and staying outside without my family with me. I think I need quite some time to get used to it.

       I will be strong no matter what happens in the future. My parents are worried about me a lot. But please don't worry, I will take good care of myself.

       Studying in the university is not only learning English Literature and stuffs in books. I will learn how to be independent and how to live without my family beside me. This is what the university is about. Not only education and but also independent. I hope I will be a much better and independent person after these 3 years. I want to grow up to be a successful person. I want to learn how to take care of myself because by 10 years later I might need to take care of my children and 20 years later I need to take care of my parents. 

        Once again, I am happy that one of the goals in my life is achieved. I will make full used of it. Thank you God for this opportunity and all my family and friends for their kind supports.

        Dearly beloved Ji Ee and Mus in heaven, thank you for blessing me. I miss you both a lot. I will do my very best.

UPM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


          So I received sms telling me that I can check which University on 18th June at 12pm. So I was kinda nervous. I was like, this is my future, this is it, this is my next step.What if I get UMS in Sabah? It'll be so so far, and what if I get UUM in Kedah? The rules are very strict!Or what if I don't get to go to the University at all? What will I do!? I want to go to the University! I cannot go college! It's too expensive! I must get into the University!!!!!!! I was so so so so nervous.

          It was 12 something am,I was kinda nervous already. I thought I couldn't sleep the whole night. Suddenly, Jeff sent me a message on Facebook asking me which University I've got. I felt weird and asked him "I thought 12pm?"

           He said some of your friends knew it already! You can check it right now!!! And he taught me some technique to check it. LOL.

          So the website is very very very lag and slow,as you know,thousands and thousands of students are logging in. Thanks to Jeff, I know the technique to login.

        My heart was beating very fast, my right hand was too numb to move the mouse and my left hand was to soft to press the keyboard.

        After trying to login for like 1 hour, I finally got through it, and I could log on. And this image appeared on my screen!

       
              I was so surprised. I was very happy, I freaked out. I quickly find my phone (although my phone is near me,I actually need to FIND it -.- because I was sooo excited) and called my mother.

          "Mom!!!!!!!!!!! I got UPM!!! In KL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

           And she was like,

          "USM? Penang? Wow!"

          What's this? -.-

          " No mom!!! UPM!!! KL KL KL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got into university! OMG, after all the hardwork in form6 for 1 and a half year, I finally got into University!!!!!"

         "Wow, good good!" She said.

         And I didn't know why my tears flowed out from my eyes. I was so happy yet I am sad. I have this mixture of feelings.

         "I'm happy till I cry!!" I told her.

        "Aww,nobody to hug you, go and tell your dad and give him a hug" she said.


          Then, I hang up the phone but I didn't go to my dad because he was sleeping already. I was so happy yet I am sad. I am happy because I feel like finally all the hard work paid off. I was really crying for I don't know what reason. I feel happy because I get to go to the University and yet I feel sad because I am leaving everyone.

         Form 6 was really tough and I got through it. I couldn't believe myself. Me going to the University? Is this going to happen? Is this a dream? Noo, now it's not a dream! I am going to the University! In KL! Sherri is going to the unviersity! Wow, I thought I'd never make it. I am so happy! I want to graduate from the University! This is one of my dreams! I must make it!

       So when I go to University, I must study really hard and get good results! I want to graduate and get a good job in the future! I want to be successful! ( I think this is everyone's dream) but I still want to tell you guys, I want to be successful !! Hahhaha..

        Well,on the other hand, this means that I am going to leave Penang. Wow, I've never left Penang before. I mean I had,just for few days for holiday. I've never lived outside of Penang. How is it gonna be like NOT living in Penang? Hahaha...

       This means I'm going to leave my friends and family. I'm so sad though. I will miss all my lovely family so much,and all my friends,some of them are still in Penang and some of them will go to another Universities. I will miss my dog very much also. And the environment here and of course I will miss the kids in the kindergarten I used to work last month and the kids in my tuition centre. I will miss the food in Penang and also the beach!!!!!!!!!!!! I will miss everyone so much :(

        So from now on,not much time is left,if I'm not mistaken,University starts on 12th. I have like 2 or 3 weeks left only. I need to enjoy these few weeks with my family and friends and do everything I'd like to do in Penang before I leave.

         Last but not least, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone. First, I'd like to thank God so much for all the blessing. Thank God that I get into the university. I will appreciate it. And thanks to my parents for everything,my family and also my friends. Thank you everyone for your support and all the time you guys spent with me. I will miss all of you!!!!

We've grown up


                       Wow,I cannot believe myself. We've grown up really. Let all the pictures do the talking.



From 2003 until 2010...
Thanks you girls for everything. I cherish our friendship. Hope we can remain our friendship forever! Cheers!


A sleepless night

                  Early Wednesday morning, 1.44AM.

                 Normally I'm sleeping by this time if I have work on the second day. Well,since I'm not working anymore,I want to make myself as a habit to wake up early. Somehow,tonight I cannot sleep. That leads me sitting in front of the computer and blogging!


                I have been thinking a lot.


                I've been missing a few good friends lately. They have went back to their countries. I just got know them January this year. But we hung out a lot and I had a lot of fun with them. They're really crazy and funny. I have a lot of great memories with them.

               Sometimes I wonder,how could I possibly miss someone that I know for such short time so much? I don't know. I've learned a lot from them. Something we don't learn in textbooks or school. Some lessons that make me grow up. Anyway,growing up is part of life everyday,not every year on our birthdays.

            I close my eyes and I think the memories. 21st was the day I know them. We played bowling,we had dinner,we played billiard,we watched movies,we went to the beach,we sent them to the bus station,we picked them from the bus station,we hung out and talked,we sang,we dance,we joked,we laughed,we practiced English,we learned each others' cultures and we did all the crazy stuffs. Wow,why do all the good things have to come to an end?

          I wonder when will I see them again? Some people walked into our lives to bring us some memories and they just left. All I can see are the photos or the videos taken. All left are memories,nothing else.

           Thank you to them for leaving me some great memories and lessons. I really appreciate it. May you guys be happy and healthy always!
What's this?
Hahahaha
Most natural picture taken!

End Of May


                 Today is 31th of May. Time really does fly. It has been months since I last updated my blog.

                I have been kinda busy. But from now on,I won't be so busy anymore. Today is the last day I work in Penang Chinese Kindergarten.

              How do I feel? Well, I feel happy because I don't need to wake up 7am every morning. I remember first when I started working there, I was like "give me the reasons why I wanted to work here?" I couldn't accept the truth that I need to wake up so early every morning even I'm not schooling anymore.

             But later, I kinda get used to it. Waking up early is not that bad actually. And during these 4 months I work in this kindergarten, I've fallen in love with those kids. They are so cute.

            I admit sometimes I got mad at them. Some of them are really naughty sometimes. Sometimes I feel like wanna punish them cause they're so naughty. But later,I feel they are very cute. The way they talk,the way they think are really nice. Oh well, I'm gonna miss them a lot.

          Every morning I walk to the kindergarten and they are kids running to me and call me and greet me. Some of them even hug me. I really gonna miss them a lot. I've never enjoy this much before. Imagine being hugged by kids. It feels like some little children really trust you and love you. It's really nice of them. Sometimes the way they talk to me and asking me funny questions,it really make me laugh non stop.

       The saddest part of it is,I love them but they are going to forget me somehow. They're just 5 to 6 years old. Who is gonna remember their kindergarten teacher who teaches them for 4 months when they were 5 or 6? It's like loving someone that will forget you. How depressing that is? Hahaha... Oh well, I really hope I can meet all of them when they grow up. I really hope that they can remember who am I although it's really impossible. I hope one day like 10 years from now,they are all grown up and call me when they meet me on the street. I really really hope that I can see how they look like after 10 or 20 years. Some of them are really beautiful and handsome. I wonder how do they look like. You know,the problem is I cannot keep in touch with them,they don't have facebook or handphone,it's impossible for me to ask get their parents number just to get in touch with them. Hahaha... Oh well.... Just let it be... These are a few photos that I took today...
Right now I am missing them already!!!

Beautiful girl :)

       These are the teachers there :)



Thanks a lot to everyone for everything. I'm gonna miss everything a lot! Take care everyone!!! :)
