1 week and a few days..

TIME IS FLYING MAN! 1 week has passed since i came back.. Have not been doing much though cause i was sick, so was like resting at home for a few days.. But i also did come exciting stuff like eat CHILLI and PEPPER CRAB at Jumbo while celebrating my cousin's birthday, watched Menopause the Musical with my mum and dad, finally had my AH PEK ice cream today and other Singapore cuisines!

Met up with Evee on Hari Raya Haji.. It is always so comforting and encouraging to see her.. She treat me to DELICIOUS Hokkien Prawn Mee and Barley.. We had a really great chat, updating one another about ourselves and also listening to one another.. It is really amazing that we do not get to meet often, but when we do, the bond is still as strong and i am sure we can go on and on if time permits.. Hahaz!

Yesterday was a exciting day for me.. Spent half the day with family, had breakfast, then went to Courts and Ikea, then wanted to go have AWESOME vegetarian food at Chinatown but was closed.. So we headed down to Tanjong Rhu for traditional Kaya toast and coffee.. When we reached there, CLOSED! So never mind.. We took a short walk to this coffee shop and i had AWESOME FAN CHOI! And SIEW MAI!! But the Lor Mai Kai was disappointing.. Oh wells, better than nothing! Then had a SUPER AROMATIC cup of kopi.. After that had ICE KACHANG AND CHENG TNG!! Shoikness lah.. My parents love me!! Hahaz..

then in the evening, met up with Candice, Shi Hui and Hazel.. Hahaz.. We ate at Changing Appetites.. I shared Fajitas with Shi Hui, both of us were too full.. Then we all shared a Cookies N Cream MUDPIE! SHOIK LAH!! My first time eating there, not bad!! =) Had a great chat with the babes as always.. Making loads of jokes revolving SHINGZ and BOOMS (Hopefully i spelled them correctly).. HAHAZ!

Today had a GREAT shopping day with my mum! I bought a pair of pumps, a handbag (like SUPER FINALLY).. OH! KFC's Breakfast IS SUPERLICIOUS LAH! I had the eggs and waffles which is DAMN SHOIK! Then my mum likes the american twister/wrap cause got bacon.. The porridge seems really popular too.. I should head there again soon, with both my mum and dad next time..

Tomorrow i have got an interview to go for! So exciting yet nervous!! Part time job as a waitress if i am not wrong.. Well, some people might think, "HUH? You undergraduate then go become waitress ah?" To me, well, it is a DECENT job, and i am only back for 3 months, and it is at a reputable hotel and i will get an income while adding credit to my resume in future.. So why not?

Also thinking of going back to banquet, intending to request if they can allow me to take up a more leadership position or role so that i can learn how to lead and handle matters.. Need to email my manager.. Suppose to meet him, but due to MANY circumstances, seem to not have the fate.. Oh wells, i shall email him soon and see what his response is then..

Okie! I shall head to bed cause i am freaking tired.. Been sleeping late but waking up early.. Oh my, sometimes i am so frustrated that i cannot get back to sleep.. A nice family photo to make my first week back home.. Cannot wait for my brother to be back!

HOME SWEET HOME BABY!

The noise is officially home!! Okie, actually since Thursday lah.. But was busy doing this and that, unpacking and catching up with my parents so got no time to blog.. Hahaz..

I am SO HAPPY TO BE BACK LAH! THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!! Woke up to the smell of Char Bee Hoon yesterday morning at 7am! Hahaz.. That is 9am Brissie time... I think my body still not adjusted yet, woke up at 6am today lah! OMG, i can imagine the Campus View babes must be thinking i am crazy, holiday le still wake up so early~

Hahaz.. Okie, i shall get back to slacking around in the house then.. Cheers people! =)

6 more D-A-Y-S!

I shall start off my entry today with a verse being shared with me:

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Romans 5:3-4

This is the inspiration of the day.. Everyday in fact.. We go through so much dirt and sucky moments, thinking that why does this have to happen to us? Well, it is the same as making a cake.. If you were to eat EACH of the ingredients such as the flour, butter or eggs on its own, it would be DAMN disgusting.. But when you put them ALL TOGETHER, bake it, it becomes a DELICIOUS cake! This is life, where the elements are being thrown at you, to make you stronger.. The end result, you are able to handle things better, learning more about life, gaining new insights and experiences.. So whenever things get you down, i hope you can remember this verse or phrase, or simply, have a piece of CAKE! =)

I THINK i am super burned out.. I have decided to really STOP studying since 3pm today when i have 3 papers starting from tomorrow to Wednesday.. I think the problem here is that my papers are too far apart, thus after studying since last Wednesday till now, i can no longer take it.. Last night it was like a hint from above to watch TV, cause there were 5 AWESOME movies back to back.. I just decided to relax and watch TV after dinner yesterday.. Well, i guess i deserve it after working so hard for the past week.. I was frantically switching channels, watching Night at the Museum, Material Girls, Monster's Inc, Ever After and Bring It On! Spirit fingers!! Hahaz!

This week has been filled with studying, eating, cooking, studying and more eating.. Well, you need food to keep the brain productive right? And the best thing to eat is DARK CHOCOLATE TIM TAMS! Hahaz.. Also cooked pork rib and black bean soup on Thursday night and Bah Kut Teh last night..

I cannot wait to go home.. Just 6 more days and i will be back in the warm sunny island that i love so freaking much! Got so much things to do, pull my wisdom tooth, find a part-time job, bake, spend time with family and friends, Christmas shopping, wedding to attend, graduation ceremonies to attend, Standard Chartered 10km Marathon to run and many many more!! I am super looking forward to all the activities back home, because i KNOW it is my WELL-DESERVED break after this semester..

Okie, it just sucks when i have this thought lingering at the back of my head, asking me, ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE FINISHED STUDYING?
This is really irritating me.. So i decided i shall give it a read through before i sleep, and another good recap tomorrow before my paper since it is at 230pm..

Wish me the bestest of luck my friends.. I SUPER need it just to survive the next 3 days.. Have put in my best.. Really i have.. And i really hope that it would reap the results.. =)

Okies, is shall stop here for now! The entry getting a little long.. Hahaz.. Till then, take care people!! The noise and irritating ball of fur is coming back to Singapore!

ARGH!! Exam STRESS!

OMG! My first paper is in 2 days time and i am still not in the exam mood lah!! Super nervous, excited and worried please!! Anyway Tuesday's paper is damn naoless lah, 20 Short Answer Questions, 2 Essay Questions (total 40 marks).. Short answer need to write 5 to 6 lines, only worth 1 MARK EACH.. WTH right?!

Then next week would be a super hectic week, cause i have 3 papers consecutively from Monday to Wednesday.. Sian to the max, but i should count my blessings that at least it is not all on the same day... So many memory work, so little time! And i thought that spotting questions was easier for us to study, but it is so wrong! With statistics, figures and trends to memorise, do you think it is easy huh!!! Hahaz.. All memory work this semester, next semester got to take Financial Management.. So not looking forward to it after seeing how it is terrorising Joyce, Ming Xian and Xue Ying... Hahaz! But no choice!!

Okie, so i decided to come online to just update my blog.. Have not gone online in 2 days because i do not see a need to.. No projects, i won't even tough my computer... Hahaz! But need to post my weekly blog update!!

This week, i have received feedback on my personality.. I am super thankful for such friends, to keep me on track so that i can be better.. As usual, the snappy Sheryl is back ( in Charity and Lisa terms).. Or my brother calls me the ANAL and Stubborn me.. Die ah, super thought it got better but i was so wrong.. My tone of voice is still very critical and fierce.. Got it from my dad lah.. Super need to change this bad habit of mine!! Need to stop being so critical, more understanding and just less fierce! Like my mum!!

So to those who read my blog, the next time when i snub you in the face unknowingly (which usually is the case), please DO TELL ME!! I NEED such constructive evaluation and feedback to improve and be better! If not i would be disastrous when i go into the working world.. Will be like offending the whole world lah..

To those that i have been so snappy and fierce to, i am TRULY sorry.. I did not mean to.. I really don't... Forgive me?

Okie, time to get back to reality.. Study!

So in 2 weeks time i am going home! In fact, it is 13 days time!! Whoah!! Super high and excited!! But now, i SUPER need to focus on my studies.. Need to memorise the information until overload! But i believe we will all do fine.. =) Must have a level of optimistic views, send out the right signals!! Positive influence!! WE WILL ALL DO WELL!! JIA YOU EVERYONE!! And BEST WISHES!!!

3 more weeks to go!

WHOAH! 3 more weeks and i am so freaking going home baby!! Super awesome ah!! But first, i super need to be focused and really START studying man! Have been slacking for 2 full weeks and not studied at all despite having 4 papers.. And ALL 4 papers are MEMORY work! OMG!

So this weekend has been SUPER DUPER EXCITING! And i mean LITERALLY! And i also drove in Australia for the very first time! Short journey lah, from school back to home.. But that is not the main focus, the main focus is about celebrating Joyce's birthday! We rented a car and drove to Scenic Rim! It is TRULY BEAUTIFUL lah!

Joyce drove the WHOLE way there, ensuring that we were being kept awake.. It was like a non-stop thrilling ride that would definitely keep you awake lah! It was super funny, dangerous, yet fun! Need to experience yourself then you will feel the thrill man! Hahaz! But not that bad lah, she has improved TREMENDOUSLY in just a few hours? Hahaz.. Really enjoyed myself! Yesterday was truly enjoyable lah! The company, the place, the jokes, the excitement and many more was just too good to be true.. It is such a pity that next semester i would not have the opportunity to have them around to have so much fun with le.. I am so going to miss you all!!

At night we went to the Wildlife Adventure at Gold Coast.. It started off with a buffet dinner and then went to see some animals such as koala, tasmanian devil, wombat, possums and many more! The night ended with a aboroginal performance where i learned a new hand sign which means "spirit of the family".. We all took a photo there and it was a truly memorable experience.. Although there was this SUPER SMART ALEC Singaporean kid that was SUPER irritating lah! Next time my kid like that, i sure slap sia!

Then today we went for DIM SUM! Hahaz! As usual, more food! Then we went to return the car and went to city to shop shop!

This week has passed super fast and it is high time i start studying lah.. Not enough time! With 4 papers and work to handle, i super need to be focused! But you can do it Sheryl! Just look forward to going home!! Let that be your source of motivation!

Enough talks, i shall post a few photos that i LOVE MOST!
the view of Scenic Rim! Am i right?

Our supposedly bush walk with waterfall

Spirit of the family.. You babes are my Aussie Family.. Thank you all so much!



Okie, i shall get back to reality and start studying le.. Meanwhile, take care people.. Please 'boh pi' (pray/bless) me with the strength, motivation and discipline to study so that i can do well in the exams!! Jia you everyone! And babes, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REALLY AWESOME WEEKEND!! Super rejuvenated, time to get back to reality! LOVES!

To end, I SUPER DUPER MISS CANDICE, SHIHUI, SWEE KEE, HAZEL, CHAPLIN, IAN, RENNIE, KHAIRUL AND OF COURSE MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY FAMILY...
