my little idiosyncrasies make me, me. things like shedded hair drives me crazy and cute babies obtain my absolute attention! cute-chubby-sweet-innocent-little-things; what's not to like. (the stares from the parents are somtimes pretty un-welcoming.heh) everyone has their little quirks which set them apart from everybody else. like the fact that I'm checked out half the time and 'huh?" is my second most uttered word. Phineas and Ferb cracks me up. (name of a disney show, not a cereal brand) did I mention I was random? lol. the three F's which are family, friends, and food are of extreme importance to me. yes you read right. food. lol.
I would say being able to speak expressively would be my creative talent. snigger all you want, but mark my words, they do help. especially during spontaneous presentations (like delivering one at the Malaysian embassy without previous notice) and definitely in my MUET exam in the future. I remember this "talent" helping me join a story-telling competition when I was twelve, choral speaking when I was fourteen, and being a speaker for Project Warga when I was 15 (techinically I spoke two lines because the time ran out. but hey, it helped) and taking part in a drama competition in Form 4. it definitely helps in gaining new friends and cracking jokes. I would definitely consider "speaking expressively" as a creative talent.
as for the 'finally back in Malaysia' part, (if anyone was wondering) I was hoisted away six months ago for the YES student-exchange program to stay for six months in the US. I know what you guys are thinking. 6 months in the US without parent supervision? AWESOME! but you could not be more wrong.
"we're gonna meet the President right?", "NYC here I come!!", "cheers to all-night parties!"
...right. my butt landed in Arkansas (which I honestly didn't know it was a state, I thought it was a part of Texas. but all was good, it was a common misconception.) where I stayed with a 65-year old host mum with no host dad nor host siblings. all activity ended at 9 and I slept at 10. every.single.night. lol. except maybe one or two nights where I stayed at my other exchange student friend from
hey it wasn't all bad though. even though I slept early and couldn't ride with teenagers and that sorta crippled my outing plans, all was good. I had an awesome coordinator who helped me in any way I can. plus, she took me bargain shopping!(ever got chic accessories for a buck?) lakes were an abundance where I stayed. meaning implied = SKIING! and wakeboarding and all that. well, I got the chance to attempt those things! (keyword being attempt. I tried 5 times and could not get on the skis =.=) I even got to experience SNOW! xD oh that was fun. I remember my best day ever: snow day! school was closed due to snow issues. I spent the whole day making a snowman and having a snowball fight with 9 year old across the street! he totally kicked my butt. he has extremely good aiming for a 9 year old. (then again, my aiming's toally bad for a 17 year old so maybe he seemed greater than usual). I had so much fun that day. I miss that kid. lol.
if anything were to change you, 6 months away in a foreign country would. that's probably my one and only alter ego: the mature side. or I would say the sombre side. being bubbly and happy is something I portray in everyday life; however, not many would know the other side of me. the part that observes human nature, world tragedies and life-changing phenomena. the part that believes that everyone's good somehow, that what goes around comes around, and truly believes that love is suppose to grow instead of fade with time. naivety, would be the word used by some to describe me sometimes. but is being all-knowing all that great?
anywho. Vibrant+Passionate+Temperamental = Red = Me! when I get passionate about something, I give it my all. take cheerleading for example. synchronization of dance with crazy stunts: no sport could be better. I was in it for two years. training and drilling my team was tiring but extremely rewarding. especially when we emerged third on our first try! hah. newbies aren't so bad. when the routine gets in place and everyone's on the same timing, you have NO idea how good it feels. being out there on the stage, engaging the crowd with our cheeky smiles and extensive routine; the feeling is...undescribable. it was too bad I couldn't be there this year as I was away in the states. but rest assured, I will be back in the following years to give them as much support as I can, in any way that I can. advice from former captains are always useful!

my favourite colour's blue: cool,calm and collected. HAH! but that doesn't describe me. Red would be the best colour. Vibrant, passionate and also temperamental. When I'm passionate about something, I give it my all. for example, cheerleading. I loved it when I was the captain of my cheerleading team. synchronization of dance with crazy stunts: no sport could be better. training were several hours everyday when the competition drew closer. emerging third during our first year was phenomenal. I could get temperamental with my juniors too though. they push me to my limits when they refuse to train any longer; however, their hard work paid off. this year, they emerged champions during the northern regional competition. I was so proud. *beams* It was a true pity I couldn't there. Although I cannot partake in the competitions any longer, I still give them advice and support them in any way I can. if I further my studies here in Penang, I would come every year to support my team. if not, there's always e-mail and skype! I should thank the creators of youtube too. lol.
I would say being able to speak expressively would be my "creative talent". some might not view it that way but I see it as an advantage. it helps me especially during last-minute-presentations and definitely in my MUET exam in the future. I remember this "talent" helping me join a story-telling competition when I was twelve, choral speaking when I was fourteen, and being a speaker for Project Warga when I was 15 (techinically I spoke two lines because the time ran out. but hey, it helped) and taking part in a drama competition in Form 4. it definitely helps in gaining new friends and cracking jokes. I would definitely consider "speaking expressively" as a creative talent. *smiles*
my little idiosyncrasies make me, me. things like shedded hair drives me crazy and cute babies obtain my attention; hence, tesco being my favourite hypermarket. lol. everyone has their little quirks which set them apart from everybody else. like the fact that I'm checked out half the time and 'huh?" is my second most uttered word. Cheerleading's my passion and I hate, hate, Chinese opera music. they will be the death of me. Phineas and Ferb cracks me up. did I mention I was random? lol. family, friends, and food are my three most favourite things which I hold dear to my heart. I realised it then when I spent 6 months in the US.
ah, the 6 months were extremely interesting. On sheer impulse, I applied for the YES student exchange program to spend 6 months in the US. LOL. any expectations all we 40 students had were all demolished by the volunteers during the orientation camps we attended. "we're gonna meet the President right?", "NYC here I come!!", "cheers to all-night parties!".....no. none of that. lol. my butt landed in Arkansas (which I honestly didn't know it was a state, I thought it was a part of Texas. but all was good, it was a common misconception.) where I stayed with a 65-year old host mum with no host dad nor host siblings. all activity ended at 9 and I slept at 10. everynight. lol. except maybe one or two nights where I stayed at my other exchange student friend from Norway's house. those were fun nights. *sniggers*. anywho, back to my stay in Arkansas. Arkansans weren't the typical hillbillies or rednecks you would expect to find. People there are quite different from what the media portrays. all stereotypes were disproved for both parts. here's a clip from my lunch hour one afternoon.
Melissa: so where's Malaysia?
Sheril: in Asia. you know Singapore?
Melissa: yeah!
Sheril: yeah, you know that BIG piece of land above Singapore? yup. that's Malaysia.
Melissa: oh I see. so do you have elephants walking around in the streets?
Sheril: ....in the zoo we have them walking around!
t'was an interesting conversation. to sum it all up, I had a great time. not only did I gain countless of friends (of many ages, might I add) and got the chance to ski, rope swing, and attend awesome classes at high school, but I also experienced something else even more pricless: growth. being away in a foreign country for 6 months will definitely give you life experiences like nothing else would. those were some of the best times of my life. the best day: post-orientation at Washington, DC. wher students from all over the world gathered for post-orientation. students from Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia, Germany and many more countries were present. not only did I get to meet all my Malaysian friends once again, we also got to put a performance together for cultural night.
that night, was AWESOME. we performed a recital of a poem, accompanied with a skit, a choir singing 'balik kampung' with dancing involved, and then a remixed rap of the same song later! what was the best part of our performance, was that we had deaf students performing us as well. watching them sign as we sing (and rap) was something other countries did not have. but the other countries were not so bad themselves. the Indonesians and the Phillipines had spectacular traditional costumes. the Saudis had the best voices and who knew Egyptians could rap and do backflips? all in all, it was the most cultural-exchanging event I've ever attended.
if anything were to change you, 6 months away in a foreign country would. that's probably my one and only alter ego: the mature side. or I would say the sombre side. being bubbly and happy is something I portray in everyday life; however, not many would know the other side of me. the part that observes human nature, world tragedies and life-changing phenomenons. this part doesn't attract others. lol.
On a lighter note, losing money sucks. my friend has lost RM800 before just by dropping her purse. personally, I've been pretty fortunate. if I find RM50 randomly flying about, I'd definitely donate it to the nearest temple or charity organization as soon as possible. it'd take forever to find it's original owner and besides, who would reject a free RM50 bill? you wouldn't know who to believe. putting it to good use would be the best idea. RM50 could buy some children some books for school purposes.
In 15 years, I see myself with a booming career as a pharmacist with two children and a loving husband. that's the dream we all women (well, most women. I have friends who don't want to get married) wish to achieve. I also see myself volunteering with AFS as much as I can. I would love to take up sign language and be an interpreter to help future deaf YES students. sign language is extremely interesting. Did you know sign languages are different depending which country they're from? there's Malay sign language, French sign language..
All in all, that's just some (little?) information about me. Until we meet again! *winks*

I realise I didn't talk bout the beach thingy on the 28th. it was pretty fun. me lina liani and gaik had to run around tesco looking for cheap food as to not over exceed the budget. and that reminds me that I still have a bottle of pop undrunk in my fridge. I haven't taken pop in years. lol. I still have marshmallows too. *gasp* maybe I'll bring it with me on the eighth. heh. yeah so anyway me and wei jin pissed off gaik for the first two hours by dragging her into the water. she didn't like that. lol. then me and him went to prepare the food quietly. as to not infuriate her even more. but she was okay after that. note: bbq-ed chicken, nuggets, and marshmallows are really good! melty marshmallows. gagagaga. hopefully we can have one next year again. =D
I miss the beach. that feeling. *sigh* I hope I land somewhere where's a beach for me in the US. I still don't know where I'm being placed yet. my mum actualyl spent a lot on this trip. what ada's mum says is true oso la. its 6 months free but still you gotta spend a lot of money. however, I think what I'll get from this trup will be worth more then the money spent. heh.
these are what I spent on : cheongsam, some chinese-y top, thermal wear, fur coat, luggage
bag, souvenirs for host fam, teachers, principal, friends there,
sweater, vaccuum bags, and those extra little stuff like belts,
socks, and other stuff which I forgot d. lol. they all amount up to a
lot actually. earmuffs. I just rmbered those. heh.
I haven't typed this long in a while eh? coz this few days tak dak mood. I dont like posting when I'm emo. coz my post will sound all emo. thats why all my previous posts all so emo. heh.
I ate a lot of crab today. so I'm very full. I'm gonna get a burger later. *gasps* I didn't have my fix of hokkien mee this week! T.T T.T

I find myself talking more to kath, than shern. I talk more to gaik and wei jin now, than my best friends. ironic huh? I know I can change this, and its not that I mind it. I'm just...aware of it. lol. I suppose we're pretty stable. and by saying 'we', I mean..well I'm not quite sure who's in the 'we'. lol.
- 30 minutes of arguing and loneliness can lower your immune system.
I got that from boston legal. who says you don't learn anything from shows? *wink* ( I think no one actually did say that lol) so gone la for the single ppl. alan shore used it to cross examine some guy. then I thought, well single people aren't lonely, they have friends, pets, you know stuff to occupy them. but then I also thought, at the end of the day, we probably are alone. friends eventually have their own lives, having their own spouses, families and the likes. they say pets can fill up that void, that missing part of people's lives, you know so ppl don't feel so lonely. and for ppl who aren't pet ppl (like me) gone la issit? hmm. I think only a lover can really.. you know like the cliche goes, "complete someone". I think only a lover can make you feel completely beautiful, completely ...happy. hmm. but I'm probably just...er crapping. or something.
I miss my best friend. she's so far away, it sucks. its tiring to miss someone. I've done enough missing to last me a lifetime. lol. I hate missing ppl. who likes it la actually. sigh.
I love you.
SIGH. T.T
