Sherril's Project 365: #1

I have decided to start my own Project 365. In case you still do not know what kind of project is this, do not hesitate to click here.

People start this project is mainly because they want to capture everyday's most memorable moment. But for me, this is not the only reason. I guess through this project, I shall be able let myself see my everyday life in another perspective, trying to find some significance in it.

Haha I say till like very serious huh? Anyway, whether I can finish this project or not is another thing. Hopefully I shall be able to complete it =)

*********************************************************************************************************************************

The special "M"

"M" - Memorable. Today is memorable because my parents were here || I started my 1st episode of Project 365 || the 1st time every one in this house went out together for dinner || gossiped with housemates in the living room while cutting these alphabets for National Mathematics Competition 2010 decorations....

*********************************************************************************************************************************

Tomorrow is a another brand new day, the start of week 10~ Means I shall be having my finals in 1 month's time. Gotta buck up d!!!!

-sherril=xuele-

Yeehaa!!

Wohoo!! Finally I am free to blog a bit. In super good mood right now. Wheeee~~~

Just sat for my 1st mid term test for this semester - Digital Control Theory. Basically I used only 1 day to study, but overall still ok =) I even went shopping with my sweetie roommate on Saturday. Haha helped her to release stress from working. Seriously, we shopped till drop!

And another good news, for me and as well for my coursemates.... my beloved cousin is back from London and Barcelona!!! Muahaha she brought back souvenirs for us, but the best part is she's back for our 1st mid term =) Without her, we can die >.<

Chocolates for chocolate lovers like me~!!!!

♥ Toblerone ♥

Lil cute snowmen chocolate

Orange chocolate -Whack & Unwrap- (Before)

Saw the wrapping with wordings "Whack & Unwrap"? Yea, we are supposed to whack this orange-alike chocolate first before unwrapping it and eat.

So we did what was stated in the instructions and tadaa~~~! Here's the chocolate!!

Peeled-orange-alike chocolate (After)

When we unwrapped it, we could even smell the orange smell. Muahaha... by the way, we did not whack the chocolate la, not so stupid. Actually once we unwrapped it, it was already in 'peeled' shape =)

I ♥ being a chocoholic!

And being super good friends with me, of course she bought something special for me and baby ong, which suit both of us very well.

My "special" souvenir ♥♥♥

And baby ong's:

"I've shopped all my life but still have nothing to wear"

We are typical girls, aren't we? ^^

-sherril=xuele-

Insane . Me .

Nowadays, I do not tear so easily anymore. Should I say I have become tougher? Or am I just hiding my emotions, trying not to make matter worse?

Whatever it is, I just know that no matter how well I control my emotions and tears, deep inside myself I am yelling and crying like hell.

Insane, right?

But there are times that you know you should just keep your mouth shut rather than expressing your true feelings. And that was exactly how I felt whenever things like that happened. Shut my mouth up and try very hard to ignore the hard feelings I was feeling and just move on with a bright smile.

Guess I was doing pretty well most of the time because when I put on the smile, I tend to forget the sadness and anger in me. Then things became better and no more doom days.

But somehow today the plan did not work. Guess I was just too hurt and disappointed.

Sigh.

Thank god rationality has taken over my feelings. So now I am back to normal, hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

And I bet it will really be a better day.

Kinda tired now. Maybe I should turn in to bed earlier.

Good night everyone!

Cameron Trip

Supposedly after my previous final examination I should have followed my ex-housemates to Cameron before I went to Kampar for 2 weeks. However the timing was not right so I ended up going back Penang for 2 days to celebrate my mum's birthday.

During the preparation period for "xia xiang" (筹备营) we planned a trip to Cameron as our last trip together. Therefore after sending our juniors off, we set off to Cameron without making any reservations. Everything was just, spontaneous!'

Took group picture with the juniors before they set off

Took bus from Kampar to Tapah, had lunch and took bus from Tapah to Cameron. The latter journey took us about 3 hours, as it was a "bas berhenti-henti", not an express bus. Whatever it is I do not mind, since this trip was supposed to be a budgeted trip =)




Found a quite nice 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms apartment when we reached the terminal bus.

Rainforest Apartment (ours was the ground floor front lot)

I would recommend this apartment as it is quite spacious and was able to fit the 10 of us perfectly at a reasonable price. RM360 for 2 nights! Besides that, plates, bowls, pans and cutlery were provided and was even a BBQ pit with BBQ sticks! All we needed to do was to buy ingredients.

View outside the apartment

And we even had a "gardener"! XD



However bear in mind that once in a while you might be able to see cockroaches passing by you. And yeah, there was this annoying cat which would jump into the house through windows. Somehow it was not scared of human and the worst thing was, it ate Shyuan's Michael (hamster).

Yes, you heard me right. It ate Michael but did not swallow. The bundled dead body was found the next day. So disgusting, isn't it?

But besides this incident, the house is quite nice =)

A very special looking spider building its cobweb

After resting for a while, we walked out to the shops and explore the area.

Small little town

Happily eating ice-cream when it was quite cold over there

As we passed by 4D shop, we decided to buy a number to try out our luck. That was my 1st experience stepping into this kind of shop and bought the 1st number in my life.

8643

Our 1st dinner in Cameron - Steamboat

During night time, our only entertainment besides playing cards was watching Pink Panther in Cartoon Network. Childish huh? Hehe we are still kids anyway XD

The silly Pink Panther

Despite Michael's misfortune, we still had fun the next day with our day tour. Well, we went to only a few places as we just wanted to relax ourselves.

First stop: Rose Garden

There are many kinds of flowers in Rose Garden. And that was where we shot our personalized MV =) Was tagged in Facebook so you guys can check it out. But I guess the song is only familiar to those who joined "xia xiang" before.

When these 2 flowers combined, they formed a pretty "butterfly" shape

Lady Shoe flower, don't you agree with the name?

Happy family ^^

Second stop: Strawberry Farm

I tell you, I am a strawberry lover but I hate almost every food and drink with strawberry flavour because they will normally taste like antibiotic. However, the jam, pancakes, strawberry pure juice and strawberry shake in strawberry farm were awesome! They tasted nothing like medicine!!! Haha totally fall in ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with them.

Third stop: BOH Tea Plantation

Were brought along to BOH tea factory tour before we ended up in this cafeteria with breathtaking tea plantation view.

Cute Yew ^^

Fourth stop: Cactus Valley

Well, that was our final stop for the half day tour. After purchasing some lil cactus as souvenirs, we went for lunch, which was then interrupted with the news that our results were released. Great. Totally spoilt our mood.

When we reached our apartment, some went to sleep, some were texting friends about results, trying to access the intranet for results, playing cards, flying kites and some were even blowing bubbles.

For example, Shu Jun. She was blowing away love bubbles to her darling hehe.

In the evening, we went shopping for groceries for BBQ. That night, it was my 1st experience to wear a jacket while BBQ-ing and yet still shivering with cold. So, can you imagine how cold was it that night??

So, basically that was how my trip went. Everything was fresh to me because the last time I went was when I was still a lil kid with not much memories. Appreciated every moment with them and I hope we still get to meet each other in the future. Take care everyone!!!

♥ Love you peeps ♥

Finally

Finally, I have changed my blog to a private blog.

I have come to this decision after discussing with my friends. Guess this shall be the best option for the time being. Though this blog was never meant to be private one as I wish to know more bloggers out there, but still this decision has to be made.

Some may know what happened but some may not. Whatever it is, I hope that by keeping my personal blog private for the time being, those disturbing incidents will not happen again. By the way, everyone, thanks for the support all this while. Really appreciate it.

Gonna constantly update my blog since it is now free from disturbance . Hehe... so till here first! Gotta get back to my FYP stuffs!

-sherril=xuele-

ENOUGH!

Enough is enough!!!

One's patience is limited. Chances have been given to stop all this disgusting nonsense. If it still persists, I am sorry but I have to say, I will take action (bear in mind not only me but my friends as well) in order to stop it. It's harassment and it is very disturbing!

SO, STOP IT!!!!!! And do not try to bother my friends anymore!

2010年拉曼大学第一届社区服务团协调团 （金宝总院）- Part 1

虽然星期五了，但是还是有点不适应回到现实的生活，开始上课读书。

这一次的两个星期假期的确很充实：

9 天的筹备营 （金宝拉曼大学，E009）
送团员们上巴士后就开始3 天2夜的金马伦悠闲旅游记
参加他们激励营的开幕典礼后开始2 天2夜的怡保旅游记
之后，我们还是回到了金宝召开检讨会，选了新一届的协调员然后就是交棒仪式 （传承）
我终于在星期一凌晨点到达吉隆坡，9点开始上这学期的第一堂课

哈，够充实吧？

感觉上金宝贴海报，做宣传，面试，团员大会，工作坊，筹备营，激励营开幕典礼，检讨会，选新一届的协调团等活动才刚发生。可是仔细地想，原来这一路来我们身为金宝拉曼大学社区服务团的第一届协调员已经一起走过了半年。合作了半年，有的甚至是第二度合作，大家的感情当然变得更好，还真的很不舍得大家。当总协调-维杰宣布第一团正式解散时，心里还真的有很多感触。 虽然解散代表着我们已成功完成我们的任务，但同时也代表着我们很快的就会与彼此分开。唉，真难过。

1 - 总协调员：维杰
2 - 秘书协调员：雁雯
3 - 财政协调员：方豪
4 - 纪律协调员：岳宏
5 - 联谊股协调员：淑君
6, 7 - 辅导股协调员：文霏，明川
8, 9 - 宣传股协调员：雪乐，文耀
10 - 美化股协调员：紫贤
11 - 学术股协调员：嘉俊

当我老本行的协调员自然会让我的要求变高，所以辛苦啦各位股员=）这一次跟文耀是排档，让我学习了一些新的东西。希望他跟我合作愉快啦，因为我觉得跟他合作我很开心呵呵。

9天的筹备营一点都不简单。从早忙到晚，有人笑，有人哭，有人生病，有人说要退团。 但是到后来大家还是坚强地完成筹备营，也终于下乡成功了。是缘分，兴趣，理想和一份重要的使命把大家聚在一起，也是这些理由让这些下乡人不管再累也坚持要继续走下去。下乡人，你们都是伟大的人！

哎哟糟糕，又开始想到大家了。其实这个时候，uncle chua 和明川已经在房间里呼呼大睡，搞不好uncle chua还在喂蚊子呢！淑君呢就比较可怜，还在她的联谊那儿陪他们练舞。最幸福的是ah keat, 文耀, 雁雯，文霏，紫贤和我，因为我们都应该还趴在客厅的地上，一边看“浪漫满屋”，一边骂那个死鬼“整容”。哈哈。


期待明天的回乡。一来可以与我的谊弟谊妹见面，二来可以和我那届一起下乡的朋友见面，叙叙旧。这或许是最后一次大家聚在一起了！希望大家会踊跃出席！明天见！

好啦，该睡了。不然明天那个老人又要骂我们协调员本身没有纪律 =）

晚安！

周傑倫 - 超人不會飛 (NEW ERA 跨時代)

Wohoo~! I am here to promote my favourite singer's new song =) Jay Chou's "Superman Can't Fly"

Been his loyal fan ever since his first album back in 2001. Now after 10 years, I still love him as much as ever. Some of you may hate him and I do not mind, since everyone has different taste. But for those who are fans of his, this is a song to share with you if you still have not heard of it.

周杰倫《超人不會飛》歌詞

作曲：周杰倫
填詞：周杰倫

媽媽說很多事別太計較
只是使命感找到了我 我睡不著
如果說罵人要有點技巧
我會加點旋律你會覺得 超屌

我的槍不會裝彈藥
所以放心不會有人倒
我拍青蜂俠 不需要替身
因為自信是我繪畫的顏料

我做很多事背後的意義 遠比你們想象

拍個電視劇為了友情與十年前的夢想
收視率再高也難抗衡我的偉大理想
因為我的人生無需再多一筆那獎項
我不知道何時變成了社會的那榜樣
被狗仔拍不能比中指要大器的模樣
怎樣


我唱的歌詞要有點文化 因為隨時會被當教材
CNN 能不能等英文好一點再訪 時代雜誌封面能不能重拍
隨時隨地註意形象
要控制飲食不然就跟杜莎夫人蠟像的我不像
好萊塢的中國戲院地上有很多手印腳印何時才能看見我的掌

哦如果超人會飛 那就讓我在空中停一停歇
再次俯瞰這個世界 會讓我 覺得好一些
喔嗚喔
拯救地球好累 雖然有些疲憊的我還是會
不要問我哭過了沒
因為超人不能流眼淚

唱歌要拿最佳男歌手
拍電影也不能只拿個最佳新人
你不參加頒獎典禮就是沒禮貌
你去參加就是代表你很在乎
得獎時你感動落淚 (落淚）
人家就會覺得你誇張做作 （做作）
你沒表情別人就會說太囂張
如果你天生這個表情
那些人甚至會怪你媽媽
結果最後是別人在得獎
你也要給予充分的掌聲與微笑
開的車不能太好
住的樓不能太高
我到底是一個創作歌手還是好人好事代表

專輯一出就必須是冠軍
拍了電影就必須要大賣
只能說當超人真的好難

哦如果超人會飛 （超人會飛） 那就讓我在空中停一停歇 （停一停歇）
再次俯瞰這個世界 會讓我 覺得好一些
喔嗚喔
拯救地球好累 （地球好累）雖然有些疲憊的我還是會 （我還是會）
不要問我哭過了沒
因為超人不能流眼淚

This song is all about his suppressed feelings within these 10 years. Guess many of us will encounter this kind of situation in our lives too. So stay strong and tough no matter what happens, and continue to pursue your dreams despite negative feedbacks from the people around us. After all, we live not only for others, but for ourselves as well.

周傑倫， 加油啦！！

1 down. 2 more to go.

*screaming out loud!!!!*

Ok, so I did extremely bad in my 1st paper - Mechanical Vibrations. The feeling while handing up my paper was the same when I handed up my nightmare subject - Maths 2 paper few semesters ago. Scared. Worried. Sad. Disappointed. And tears nearly came out. Lol.

I tried so hard. I really studied. Did the questions be it tutorials or pass year papers. Spent nearly 70% of my study week in this subject, just because I thought I am so weak in this subject and I need to study harder than anyone else in order to obtain a reasonable grade.

Mana tau...

This paper demotivated me. completely.

Maybe I was really too nervous and worried before exam. When I flipped open the paper I thought at least there were some questions that I seemed to be able to answer. But once I started to do, suddenly my mind went blank. Even the simplest derivation took me minutes. Yeah, you know how much it costs to waste MINUTES in exam when actually you should only use seconds.

But the worst thing is, not only it took me minutes, in the end I knew my derivation was wrong. I KNEW IT WAS WRONG! But, I just could not find out what went wrong. So there goes my precious marks. Not only 1 question, the rest... I am so speechless.

Sigh.

Sorry mom and dad. This time, there is a real high possibility that I have to retake this subject. But hopefully, I shall be able to survive. I do not want to go through this painful subject again. I really have no interest in it =(

1 down. 2 more to go.

All the best to the rest. And all the best to myself.

The Last 3 Days of Y3S3

Fooh! Just back from "vocal training" session at Red Box, The Gardens. The last 3 days of my final semester of Year 3 were mainly spent with my 下乡 (xia xiang) friends. Let these 3 days be the celebrations for them for completing their thesis and my boost juice to study hard for finals =)

Wednesday night we went all the way up to Kampar campus, again. But this time we only spent around 2 and a half hours with our juniors. Then had yam cha session before proceeding to Yen Wen's house to overnight. Dear, thanks for sparing us a room to 'sampat' ya!

Yen Wen (right) - the one always being bullied by evil Keat

The journey back to Yen Wen's house at Tanjung Malim was scary. Keat's little green car was a bit naughty and nearly broke down on the highway around 1 something in the morning! Lol.. Keat, you should really go and have your car checked!! Uncle Chua very old already so he cannot be scared too much ^^

Uncle Chua who practically sleeps just anywhere!

That night gossiped with Voon Fei till we heard some "singing" from the mosque nearby. Sweat. Was already 6am and we were supposed to wake up at 7am. Thought of sleeping for an hour, but by the time I opened my eyes it was already 9am.... and my only tutorial class on Thursday was at 9am. Great. Missed another class.

Eventually everyone woke up and was busy helping Yew with his thesis. He was even more 'geng'. That morning before we departed around 11 something, he told us he actually had a presentation in the morning. He missed it. Wow.. really really 'pei fu'.

So happy because they finally completed their thesis ^^

Tried to study hard on Thursday but slept quite a lot as well since I did not have much sleep the night before. Haha this is so terrible as we planned to have vocal session today. Haih. Shall try my best not to waste anymore time after today. I am sure I can do it as I have started to feel the pressure.

Sigh. Time really flies. These friends are going to graduate soon.



They and my housemates remind me that soon it will be my turn to choose my FYP title and write thesis. *sob sob* I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE THESIS!!!!

Anyway, any suggestions about choosing FYP title or advisor?

All UTAR-ians, gambate!
