There is this someone who once walked into my life and have always stayed in my heart. Though we are now parted in 2 different places, but we are still keeping in touch with each other from time to time. So who is this girl?
Today is her birthday and finally she has turned 21 years old! Haha Ee Wen, you are old already!!
I knew her ever since my first tuition. Is it the first tuition? I can't remember. All I could remember is it was an English tuition taught by my aunty. She was then my tuition mate, schoolmate, classmate and good friends. We have known and be friends for more than 10 years. And for some reasons, we became sisters in high school...
We became quite distant friends ever since I came to UTAR and she attented Disted in Penang which later on she went to INTI in Nilai. Once in a while we chatted through MSN, but most of the times either I'm busy or she'll be busy. The very last time we went out together was during her summer holidays this year. It's about half a year d huh?
Reminiscing back the old memories, I realised that over these years many things happened between us yet we still are friends, one that I still consider as a trustable and good friend.
Back then in primary school, we were good friends. Became "Pengawas Kebersihan" together so that we could go on duty together, which was sweeping the staff rooms corridor every Friday morning. I still remember she's the one I told secrets to and we had crush on the same lucky guy =) But well in the end, neither of us were together with him. Every recess time we would sit at the same old place in the canteen eating the same old thing. I could still remember she always ate bread prepared by her beloved mom.
Eventually we grew up and went to the same high school. But in the whole 5 years, we never have the chance to be in the same class. But still, we got to meet every now and then in school. In high school, we were boths guides and went to the same camp together in F2. I remembered we had disagreements before, argued and parted. But somehow, the bond between us was still there. At that time, I was just too immature.
We made new friends in high school and eventually we tend to hang out with our own gang. Soon we graduated but still keep in touch. I hope that sis, we can still still be sisters forever. Miss u greatly... hope you'll do well there! Take care. Lots of hugsss from me, and lots of love too!
Happy 21st birthday, Wen!! May all your dreams come true =) Hang out again when you are back alright? Take care!

A Singaporean Friend
Kenny, is a Singaporean who came to Penang for his 1-month industrial training. He is training in the same company as Zhi Ling in Polytool and came along with us last night to Farlim night market.
I always feel proud when people give awesome comments about Penang. As usual, I asked him how he felt about Penang in his 1 month stay here. His answers were:
"The food is really nice."
"And the people are friendly."
Well, food of course I will definitely say they are delicious. But I am really glad he felt that Penangites are friendly =) Then am I friendly as well?? Haha.
Anyway he made a statement which made this 1st meeting and probably the last one an unforgettable one.
After Zhi Ling fetched me and Shyuan we chatted non-stop on the car. I would say I totally had no image in front of this new friend haha. Anyway when we reached and got down the car, he whispered to Zhi Ling about something which made Zhi Ling laughed like hell.
Zhi Ling was so excited and went on like:
ZL: "Sherril, Sherril, I want to tell you something about what Kenny said just now."
S: "What did he say? Must be something about me lo."
ZL: "He said he was shocked to see you SO SHORT."
S: "........."
S: "Haven't you seen people like me in this height??"
(I can't hear properly what he said except this sentence)
K: "我吓到。在车里我还以为你蛮高的。"
[trans: I was shocked. I thought you are tall when you're in the car]
S: "......."
S: "没看过这样矮的人meh?新加坡没有这样高度的女生meh?"
[trans: Haven't you seen such short person? Singapore does not have this kind of girls meh?]
(I think this was his answer)
K: "Nope, I haven't seen before."
S: "............" (laughing hard)
Then I quickly told him that my height is at least over 150cm and I am surely NOT the shortest in uni. Haha nothing to be proud of but nothing to be ashamed of too. I find his reactions and comments very funny because normally people's comments about me are "You are short."
But his was like "How come there is such short person on the earth?"
Haha. But he is indeed a friendly guy who happens to be in the same course as us. After chatting more with him only then I knew that there are not much chinese night markets in Singapore and he has not seen Taiwan Sausage and Lok Lok before. Cool because Penang is full of them and he can eat as much as he like since he will be leaving on Friday.
Anyway this night market trip left me wondering about 2 questions.
1. Are Singaporean girls all tall and there are really no petites at all???
2. What makes he think that I am tall in the first place based on my voice???

What is LIFE?
Finally I get to online (previously there was connection problem with my house line) and I should be blogging about something happy since I have just celebrated my 21st birthday. But something is holding me back.
Am I really 21?
I do not think so.
I do not look like 1. I do not act like 1. And my thinking is still so childish.
Suddenly, someone's words affected me a lot.
We always think how unfortunate we are, how the world is unfair to us. But really, are we that unlucky? Are we really the MOST unfortunate ones? To think of it, my answer is "No".
Perhaps, I should learn not to limit my sight. I have been living a comfortable life the moment I was born. I should be grateful for what I have had now and not to complain about it. In life, there are so many more things which are more important. But have I ever thought about that?
Because of some problems, I thought about giving up life. But there are people out there who faced greater challenges than me, yet they continued on fighting for it. What have I been thinking all this while? What is life?
Suddenly, I am lost. I am not sure what am I pursuing for in life. Happiness? Love? Success? What is my priority and what should be my major concerns??
I think I have no rights to talk about WHAT IS LIFE. All those shits that I have been talking all this while... I talked without understanding the true meaning behind it.
It is time for me to refresh my mind and look things in another perspective, viewing things in a larger picture. I need to grow up, I really need to.
Your words have stunned me. I am sorry that I have offended you. I am truly sorry.

Finally, it is my turn!
Hi people! Haha I know it has been such long time ever since the last post. Hmm was busy with finals, then went Malacca with friends.
Then finally, it is my turn for industrial training. I cannot believe that I am actually a Year 3 Engineering student already! Too bad my knowledge is like Year 1 or 2. Gotta buck up more haha. Currently I am working in Advanced Ceramics Technology under Crest Ultrasonics, just opposite Auto City.
So wondering how's my first few days of internship? Haha I am not that lucky, currently still checking stock =_= I do not have my own working place nor a computer to use. So I cannot be like the rest who can MSN here and Facebook there. All I did was to check the condition of stock (something like quality control).
Anyway I heard lots of interesting stories from my coursemates regarding their internship. The VERY MOST interesting story was Kok Yik's. He was sent by his company to Pantai Hospital to do some maintenance like air conditioner maintenance etc. You know what he saw? He saw the camera which shows the process of doctor doing operation on patient, cut here and there. Then the coolest part was he got to go into "bilik mayat"!!! Haha he said it was not fun at all and I think if I were him I would be scared to death but... that experience must be so thrilling and memorable!!!
Then those who went Sony for intern I heard that the company uses fingerprints verification for entry permit. Wow, really high tech right? But their uniform and shoes a abit... FUNNY haha. Thank god I can wear casual everyday!!!! Wohoo~!
There was another person who was really daring. He actually fall asleep for 1 hour inside the same room as his supervisor!!! And the weirdest part was his supervisor didn't even wake him up or scold him. Really.. speechless.
Some were less fortunate during their 1st day. Not only the air conditioner in their company was out of order, they had nothing to do at all. The weather was hot like hell and all they did was surfing the net and playing games.
So am I counted lucky? Haha personally I have no comments. Do you have any interesting stories about your internship? Do share if you have!
By the way, thanks my dear friends who have helped me to celebrate my birthday in advance!! Thanks for the surprise birthday for me and Zhi Ling, I am really happy ^^ That was my 1st 21st birthday celebration! Then my dear babes, thanks for your time. The cake was awesome too!! Miss you all~~
Guess I gotta go to bed early. My daily routine will be: wake up at 6am, go out at 6.45am, start work at 7.30pm, finish work at 5pm and reach home approximately at 5.30pm (if it is not raining and leave company punctually).
Happy internship and adios~!
