Can’t wait to go on a mr.kumosan date with Joanne ^^ and probably with my holga :D I haven’t experimented with my underwater camera yet. All Jess’ fault :(
I feel quite calm now even though I am still 350 words short for my introduction. Just listen to Pastor Joel’s sermon about not giving up because you’re tired, because the devil will exhaust you in every way possible when you are almost there.. I am not ‘almost there’ because I still have 2 years of uni to go, but time really loves flying so…… If I think about it this way, I would have graduated by the time Mockingjay hits the theatre. I might even be married already, lol ok kidding.
I feel very talkative today, but my tonsils hurt and I have nobody to talk to :c I think everyone is busy with their dates and I am also rushing my introduction for my polygraph essay… Sigh….
I really don’t like it when I feel this way, like the wind has been knocked out of my body. I have so much to be thankful for and so much to appreciate. I have a pair of eyes which allows me to see the faces of people I love, a pair of ears to hear them speak and breathe, a pair of lips to kiss them and a voice tell them I love them… I have so much.

I love Fridays because it marks the start of my long weekend :) I planned my timetable very carefully so I would get 4 consecutive days of rest and 3 days of school :D Even though I have tuition almost everyday, it is not as tiring as having lessons everyday O.O school really drains me mentally and physically. Makes me wonder how I used to survive going to school from Monday to Friday last time…
As you know, I was very sick last week, woke up at 4am last Sunday because I had difficulty breathing and my grandpa had to send me to the hospital. The doctor just said “oh you have tonsillitis, when do you want to consult a throat surgeon?”
Excuse me, you do not ask a 19 yo girl who is alone and confused if she wants to have her tonsils removed at 5/6am in the morning!!! After hearing all the risks, (I’m technically an adult and this procedure is uncommon for adults), I told him I don’t want the surgery… He kept telling me it’s quite serious because I have frequent inflammation and infections and it would be best if I remove my tonsils asap. Hehe, I trust in the Lord for full recovery ^^ I’ll just eat healthy and try my best to sleep as early as possible. Plus mother will be bringing me to see some chinese physicians? (ew to smelly herbs)

Yesterday was Jessica’s last day of work! So happy and excited for her even though I don’t get cheese waffles anymore :( I brought Brandon down to visit her and then I went off to meet Sally. But before that, I brought Brandon to a hair salon to get his hair cut… I must emphasize how much I dislike it when boys have long and messy hair so no way my little brother is gonna have untidy hair when he’s out with me. So we met up with Sally and she really couldn’t get over how much Brandon looks like my brother… Of course, same father =_____=
Sally bought a white ukulele! Ha ha, why am I always making people spend money! I saw the ukulele on sales at Christophori on Tuesday and the white one was just too adorable! So I texted Sally immediately and made plans to get it on Friday(which was yesterday, lol)! It was the last piece for white so she was really excited (there was baby pink but it was sold out *insert sad Sally face here*)
Then we went to Swensen’s for dinner, ordered a pepperoni and cheese pizza and mushroom baked rice which tasted delicious beyond our expectations… I really didn’t expect it to taste so good, ugh, now I’m craving for it… Speaking of baked rice, I haven’t made baked rice for 2 years already, omg, TWO freaking years.. O.O should buy ingredients soon… Then, we decided to go back to my place so I could wash their hair for them and customize Sally’s uke for her.
YES, WASH THEIR HAIR. I love love love shampooing hair(for the people I love, obviously if you ask me to wash some stranger’s oily hair I will smack you with a brick), I’m REALLY good at washing people’s hair, I will wash my boyfriend/husband’s hair for him everyday in the future. Ha ha ha.
a side note: I miss sunshine x alot
another side note: I am trying my best to not use the F word anymore, not easy… Just thought of this because this Sally went to scold the GMT machine ‘F you!’ because it ate her money and Brandon heard it, so I was like, ‘SALLY! BAD INFLUENCE!’
*****
For the customization of the ukulele:
Sally wanted to paint flowers on it, but because the ukulele is of glossy material, it was be a problem to get the paint or marker ink to stay on… We thought maybe we could use nail polish and then use my stamps to stamp on the designs, but we didn’t want to risk rubbing the gloss off with tinner if it doesn’t work… Then she saw my my little heart cut-outs and wanted to stick it on with normal glue, I assured her it wouldn’t work and it would cause a very horrible and ugly mess… So I thought of the awesomest idea ever!!!
I had many sheets of white stickers I like to use as correction tape, so I took out one sheet and then this baby pink oil ink pad Nicole got for me for my birthday and starting colouring the stickers… The heart cutter I had broke after the second time I tried to cut out the stickers because, well, the sticker was sticky. So I had to cut everything by hand. The outlines Sally drew weren’t much of a use because it’s too small and out of shape, HA HA HA.
When we finished sticking the stickers, I remembered that I have some alphabets stickers and I told Sally to stick her name on the last fret since it was rather wide, and then I took my 3D(sorta) sticker and pasted ‘S’ on the top where the brand names for usually printed since it was not there. It’s brand ‘S’, which stands for Sherry. LOLOL ok no, it stands for Sally.
This is the end product which I am very proud of!
Gorgeous, right?! I should start customizing people’s ukulele for them. Yep.

One of my professors, who is also a psychologist, said that at our age(my class’ average age is around 24 years old), it is impossible for us to form an intimate relationship with another individual or even understand what love is. I think she is completely wrong. A 5 year old knows what love is, even a dog knows what love is. I am not surprised though, there was not a shred of affection in the tone of her voice when she spoke of her children or husband…. Well….

I wonder if absence really makes the heart grow fonder…. Doesn’t your heart just get immune to the feeling of missing someone so much that it rarely matters anymore? Feelings come and feelings go. I think one of the reasons why long distance relationships hardly work out because the feeling of missing someone is the most painful feeling in the world.
You think about that person so much, but you don’t get to hold or hug him/her. When you hear his/her voice, you’d want to feel his/her warmth. It is probably human defence mechanism… In order to avoid such pain and longing, we cut it off completely and convince ourselves that we no longer feel any more longing.

I have no idea what’s with all the epiphanies tonight. Maybe because I’m sick and I’m all alone at home… I’ve always visited the doctor, cooked and took care of myself when I am ill but at least I had my grandparents… or mum to come into my room to check on me or get water for me when I am feeling really groggy. But now I don’t live with grandparents anymore and mum is overseas, so it’s really quite…

School started 2 days ago. Why did they schedule Intro to Psychology Research Method as the first lesson. Never felt so discouraged and worried on the FIRST lesson of the term before… I left Temasek Poly because I was failing my statistics modules and now I have to take stats for ALL my levels.
God, please calm the storm in my heart and quiet the voice in my mind which tells me I am incapable. Amen.

what if I dye my hair red?
Neh.
Today, I deleted 3000 over pictures from my year 2008 photo albums, and maybe around 1000 from the year 2009 and 2010 albums. I was quite appalled to see some of the pictures inside… I kept thinking, “I THOUGHT I HAD ALREADY DELETED THAT?!” Hmm, I think that when you want to make new memories, you have to throw away the old ones. Not all, but you have to decide which are the ones worth keeping and which are the ones that will hold you to the ground and hinder your growth…
I asked my momma if it is heartless to cut some people completely out of life, and she said, “no no, in fact you should just unfollow them on twitter and unfriend them on facebook! You don’t dislike them, but you don’t have to like them too, so why pretend you care about what’s going on in their lives?”
I agree.

Make A Memory - Bon Jovi
Hello again, it’s you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin’ wine, killing time
Trying to solve life’s mysteries.
How’s your life, it’s been a while
God it’s good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave.
If you don’t know if you should stay
If you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be-
You wanna make a memory.
I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing, I don’t wanna ask.
If you go now, I’ll understand
If you stay, hey, I got a plan
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You could sing a melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory.
If you don’t know if you should stay
And you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be-
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You could sing a melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory
You wanna make a memory -
Everyday I feel so many different emotions I don’t even know how I handle them.
Food for thought; if you had gotten something so easily, then it’s probably worth nothing because you’ll get complacent and then you’ll lose it equally easy. Those things that were easily achieved will eventually serve as painful lessons in the future. So there’s really nothing to be proud of, please stop boasting.
p.s I’ve been having a ‘Revenge’ marathon since yesterday evening… It is SO good, what have I been missing out all these while?!

Today was such an awesome day I don’t even know how to start…
The day started off the way I love(wink wink), then Joanne came over :) so awesome to have girlie heart to heart talk with Joanne ^^ Thank you for being so lovely <3
We shared our love for God and just talked about everything and she saw King Kong hump his bolster for the first time and I think it had traumatised her for the rest of her life already ha ha ha omg.
Ha ha ha I love you, Joanne!!

I used to get very emotional when I listen to this song.. because I know how it feels like, thinking that the situation will never get better and how it’s like the world you built around you had crumbled and you have no idea how to pick the pieces up and glue them back together. Like your broken heart.
Even though you don’t think about it any more, you never really recover from betrayal and hurt. You would do, or would not do, anything just to make sure you don’t expose yourself to any kind of hurt and pain.
I’ve let go of the past, but sadness is a weird thing, it plants a seed in your heart & mind and threatens to grow every so often… you can only keep trying to pluck out its roots. For me, I cannot let a day pass by without listening to sermons or praise and worship music. Jessica always said I’m damn hardcore, but I’m not, it’s not even because I want to be holy whatsoever, I do that because that’s the only way I can cope with reality, that’s my coping mechanism. They take away my fear and give me joy.. Like what pastor always said, when you place God as the first in your heart, even when all things fail, everyone leaves you, you won’t feel lost. That is REALLY TRUE.
I never understood why my mother kept telling me I would feel better, it would take time but there is no doubt I would one day look back and laugh. Now I do. I know how to handle sadness. I know how to handle heartaches. I know that these, too, shall pass. Every single time I am tempted to feel discouraged and sad, I remind myself that I had been through worse, and that there is nothing I cannot achieve without God’s help. If things don’t happen, it’s because God loves me to much to let me settle for second best. God’s timing.
My mum gave me this example. I remember how I was a really loyal customer of Nokia and I’ve always thought, “why would anyone use other brands other than Nokia, NOKIA IS THE SHIT, YO” but now after using the iphone for more than 2 years… NOKIA IS SHIT, YO. Ha ha ha ha ha. I think this applies to everything. Boys, friends, people and situations.
Even though I keep telling myself that… the heart is a weird muscle.. it doesn’t listen to the mind.

Born to Die - Lana Del Rey cover (by sherrythia)
“Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Actually…. I don’t even feel like crying anymore, I am a strong girl and I have faith that all my setbacks will become stepping stones.
I understand that in life, there will be moments I feel down and when I have grief in my heart, and I’ll have to face the stings of rejections, but I will not be discouraged. Must be the result of meditating on Pastor Joel Osteen’s sermon and praise & worship songs every single day. It’s like my fuel, and I need to top up at least twice a day to keep going.
Ha ha, I’ve been meditating on this - Never put a question mark when God puts a period.
Okay, no questions asked!
