Sam wrote this for me and I think its so sweet I hyperventilated right here in the Uni’s computer lab.
And that was an understatement.

Omg. I miss you too! And you are definitely one of the best friends I have. Never had a moments doubt when I’m around you =) I miss all the heart to heart talks we had (although it was absolutely embarrassing sometimes) but please do remember that I’m always available to talk if you need me. And do take care yourself k? *hugs*

*hyperventilates some more*

Thank you so much! *hugs really really tight (because I know you won’t bruise that easily)*

loves,
Sherry

ps. I’m still melting.. ♥

hail from Adelaide!

For those of you who has yet to realise (and is STILL messaging me on my msian roaming number - which is very expensive thank you very much), I’m already in Adelaide since Tuesday. DOn’t call that number. And don’t sulk if I don’t reply - I’ve already shut down my other phone. So if you want my local contact number, get it from me online or something.

No updates with pictures till I get my internet line though. Even blogging from the uni computer seems weird to me at the moment (maybe thats why I took my time updating) =\

For those who caught me complaining 3 days ago, no worries, I got my electricity (finally!). For the next session of rants, please wait till the bill arrives. Thank you for you patience. :D

Orientation is going through right now. Quite a number to minor complications which unfortunately adds up to one major headache. Ugh. Can’t be helped though. So yeah, I’ve already played the part of the jakun tourist and visited almost the whole city. I wished it was bigger :( (this is where I feel homesick - I want 1U, MidValley, Pyramid!!! )

Okay, thats it for now. There’s this dude who’s been walking to and fro behind me for 10 minutes now. I think he’s stalking me… no wait, he’s stalking the printer - my bad. Anyways, i shall leave him for his happy hour with the printer and go home for a short nap before I have to hunt for dinner.

Do keep in touch. Cheers.

I woke up this morning and I realised: It’s 2009!

And no, this isn’t a belated new year post. It’s instead a belated Chinese New Year post. And I bet you’re going “oh.. swt ==’” right about now, so yeah… :D

New year as usual was spent back at my hometown with my family. I don’t know if it’s just me but chinese new year holidays seemed to be growing shorter and shorter with each passing year. I used to remember years back when I would go back for say.. 1 week plus? (and i did not even have to skip school to do that). Now it is merely a few days affair.

Of course, it has it’s pro’s and con’s. For one thing, at least I’m saved from over-indulging in cny food. Especially when the body’s metabolism is in an all time low due to lack of exercise.

Family time for me was severely reduced this year as the family grows. Staying elsewhere, away from the watching eyes of critisizing parents is definitely a plus point. Yet I can’t help but feel that the whole point of family time is was missed. Especially after watching all those commercials regarding family bonding. I mean, did you watch the one by Petronas this year? Touching ain’t it?

makes you think huh? :)
I agree. Yasmin Ahmad is an incredible director. Google her past works. You’d be astonished.

and before I forget,
Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
(and yes, I do mean everyone. Bet you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did :P)

Hope you have a blessed year of the ox ahead…
… and not find a rat squeaking beside you when you wake (or was it a cockroach? i forgot..) :P

Okay, i suddenly damn semangat to update. Don’t ask me why. Just count your blessings…

Breaking News:-
Do you know that a size 4 shoe is a rarity in aussie??!!! (okay maybe you do, but i didn’t..)

THIS IS A TOTAL NIGHTMARE! All those absolutely yummylicious heels and no way for me to get to them? Oh gawd, what have I ever done to deserve this fate??? This is the worst news i’ve heard about that place. Haihz.. how like that? Would anyone be kind enough to volunteer sending me shoes from home? :(

Would my mum kill me if I bring my entire shoe collection? =\ or perhaps I should shop for more.. I mean, what if I have to go on a total abstinence from buying shoes for a year??! I should be prepared for all eventualities don’t I? better to be safe than sorry… right?

What am I gonna do? :(

the ultimate dream

call me a bimbo or call me a bitch,
it doesn’t matter seeing as we both know you’re just jealous..

By Sherry,

Yeah, i know its been some time since the last post. I know i promised regular updates, but that doesn’t seem to be happening and this time I won’t even bother offering excuses to cover up my laziness.

I keep telling myself that i would at least manage some sort of focus in my life, but I seem so have lost track. I can never understand how you guys keep track of everything anyway. Opportunities keep popping up unexpectedly, often leading the heart astray. maybe it’s just me and that I don’t possess the determination needed to actually stay focused on a particular track. Or perhaps its just the lack of discipline to keep myself from straing from the goal. Whatever it is, I’d wish you’d stop admonishing me about my choices. It is after all my life and if I just happen to go on a separate track from all you perfectly disciplined people, well then, its my decision isn’t it?

Sometimes i wonder if its just a rebellious streak on my part or is it an over-posessive nature on yours. Is it really neccessary to make my choices for me? I would appreciate guidance and perhaps advice, but shouldn’t the ultimate choice be up to me? So what if I’m just a young, ignorant teenager? Like they say, no pain, no gain.

Yet I understand it hurts to watch people you love lose their way. There are just so many people i wished I could protect, yet failed at my task as a mentor. I see them heading the same way towards ruin as I had watched others regret their pasts. And sometimes i wonder, why won’t you listen?

Yes I fully understand the dilemma. But maybe its time, for both you and I, to just let go. Set the bird free, and simply hopes it returns. After all, its not something you can keep caged forever.

I sincerely hope that a certain someone would find her way back. Its difficult when things go wrong and you can’t find support, even from people you had thought would be there for you. But maybe you need to understand that it is not all about you, and that if she feels that she is happy, perhaps you should let her go her way. Negotiate and set boundaries. As you yourself has said, you should never abandon family. Don’t make the same mistake she did because think of it this way, if you isolate yourself from her, how are you gonna change her mind? And don’t bother asking me to mind my own business. I know better  than to bug you now. But do know that if you need to talk, I’m always here for you and that no matter what happens, you’ll always have people to fall back on.

I have met and known awesome people in 2008. You know who you are. That is one choice I will never regret.

Its hard to leave. Its fortunate that I’ve never been afraid of the future. And yes, I’ll probably be laughing my way to the plane. Don’t take it in a bad way.

Ps. Someone was pwned last night. Glad I was there to enjoy the scene. If you ever read this… HAHAHA!!! EPIC FAIL!! :P
