Dawny cheng is probably flying over russia or tibet or greece now on her way home to NY!!! going to miss her to the MAX!!! ):

it's ending soon, but i think that these few months after A levels has actually been very very nice and enjoyable. Jess buddy and i have already developed an even slower pace of walking that we attribute to the good life we're enjoying now. free to go out and play everyday after work and no need to stress about exams or do homework. haha, so nice to be able to meet friends all the time (:

and work has been very fun too mostly, with all the lovely friends and kids. we only have 2 weeks more in class support i think, so after that we wont see the darlings anymore ): gosh, i will miss them so much too! and when pathlight ends in june, i'll be so free i won't know what to do. haha, and i'll be missing all the yfa friends! ): but im not really looking forward to the last 3 days, cos angelina is not going to be there!!! pp track will be too lonely! ><

haha but as one of the student said when angelina asked him if he will miss us, "life goes on, I gotta move on!" hahaha, very philosophical ah. :D

and then, uni's starting ): and we gotta do work again, and if jess buddy goes overseas... gosh.... im starting a daymare again. haha..

lovelove!

I just got really drenched in the rain!! haha, I looked like I just jumped into the swimming pool, and my clothes were actually dripping water! hahaha, it was the best fun i've had for a while!! (: I could hardly see a thing cos my hair was blowing all around!

this is a good news week for all my buddies!! I'm reall happy for them!! (:

reall happy for xiu!! i think xiu will be so cool in sports science!!

anyway, i dont think he'll read this, but i'm very grateful for josh!! its great to see God work in him and through him, and i'm just so glad, i keep smiling (:

can't wait to see jess buddy at smu tmr!!! (:



lovelove!!

oh dear, i was so lonely today in school! Angelina was sick! ): nobody to greet the SAF with me, and no one to sing silly songs and do nonsense! haha get well soon!!!

luckily, there were still all the little darlings and cuties (:

aiyo, after so long i still don't have anything else to say. haha but i have to post anyway, cos linh's blog is more alive than mine now!!

i just had such a wonderful shopping trip! (: and it was real nice to have dinner by myself too. in school, i have to try to be so aware, to watch what the kids are doing,and make sure nothing happens to them! so its nice to just sit there and daydream, and not really pay attention to what's going on around me or even what im eating. haha i probably even sat there for a while with my mouth open and just dreaming. haha, cant even remember what i was thinking abt, prob something really random

even though the kids are the cutest,i'm glad its friday tmr! tired already! haha, will be exciting to meet pastor tmr too!

lovelove!

im glad to be back in school!! (: with my storyteller buddy and all the cutey kids (: poor angelina had to tell so many stories all by herself!!

today my class form teacher was absent, so i took the kids to recess myself and brought them to see the new hydroponics pond. oh big mistake. they were all so excited and running and one kid actually stood inside the pond on a box. i half screamed and grabbed him out immediately before he fell off and into the pond. oh gosh. i marched them all off to class after that. oh gosh, good thing nothing happened!!!

lovelove!

i've spent my whole weekend sitting in front of the com thinking about what to write for my essays for apps! gosh, its so tiring to think about what to write. and everytime i take a break and come back to it, i cringe on reading what i wrote, then i delete, and i start again. haha, it'll take me forever. gosh. i should have started this way earlier!!

anyway, i think i've been on vacation from ministry for quite a while, and some of the big leaders are checking up on me! haha, its quite funny really (: but anyway, i'm going to meet the children min's pastor soon, and i'm actually quite excited i guess (: more cute kids! no la, i think my school kids will always be the cutest (:

and, i really want to go for retreat, cos jess buddy actually can go this year!! gosh, and i'm the one who can't go. well, i guess jess buddy can keep a retreat diary for me this year.

anyway, last week there were a lot of teacher MCs in school, and we got to teach a couple of lessons on our own. and it was actually really nice supporting my intern friends when they taught. cos i think they work really well with the kids, and its cool to observe them too (:

i'm typing such a nice long post, cos i really don't want to go back to my essay!


anyway, we found out that we'll be sticking with the same class until june (: which is a really nice thing. cos doing library is fun too, but we don't get to interact with the kids as much during library as in class. haha (:

anyway, one of my kids is super adorable, last week while doing gym, he was singing 'i'll have a blue christmas without you'. haha, a tiny 6 year old mite singing that while jumping, doing stretching, aiyo these kids make me smile everyday. (: but when they're naughty, they're also really naughty. haha

anyway, angelina and i have been doing so many dumb things in between library lessons. haha, we both successfully learnt how to french braid!! using each other for practice of course! (: it's really not bad, just that my braids a bit uneven only!(: and we made invitation cards for some of the other interns, and we learnt a new song! (: its all been real fun, haha, im real glad she's never taken MC before, if not i'll be very lonely in school and have to eat lunch by myself!

ok, talking about school makes me excited for tmr, even though last friday was quite terrible! (: we're making new puppets tmr! (:

lovelove!

haha, my dearest little kids are so cute. still calling me 'ms shermina' haha (: and today when my contacts hurt a little, i decided to take it out, since my eyes were very tired anyway. and when i wore my speckys, my kids came and asked me why i was wearing sunglasses, and told me to take it off! haha such cuties seriously. (:


anyway, post As has been better than i thought. i thought i would be so so sad with the kind of results i got, but i wasnt really that sad after all. anyway, i didnt think too much about it after i got the results, and just trying for what i can, and just letting God do the best for me!

oh anyway, one of my 6 year old kids loves looking at a girl from another class. hahaha, i cannot resist teasing him, everytime i catch him doing that, i'll always ask him 'where's ur favourite girl?' haha, then he will keep giggling and say 'she's so cute!' hahaha(: haha aiyo, they're all such darlings.


i know i keep saying it, its prob irritating already, but I LOVE MY KIDS!!!! (:

hmm, my method of telling if it will rain the next day has been proven wrong today. I always look at the sky before I sleep and if they sky's really dark, i'll think its going to rain or at least pretty cool the next day. But if it's all orangey red against the buildings and not completely dark, it's supposed to be hot the next day. so it was real red yest and it rained. i got really drenched today walking home from school.oh well, rain is nice anyway.. and it is kinda fun to get so wet and dripping and my whole face was wet. i must have looked frightful, but it was fun.

ahh i realised all my pink coloured background is gone, so i changed a new background! supposed to be grey dancers, but i think it is too blur to see, haha anyway a change from pinky is good too right! (: but the font is a weird colour, but i dont know how to change so it shall be this until something goes wrong! (:

lovelove! (:

Noella sent me something real sweet today:

Give us Your strength Lord, because sometimes things are tough and we are ready to quit.

Give us Your love Lord, because sometimes people reject us and we are tempted to hate.

Give us Your eyes Lord, because sometimes life gets dark and we lose our way.

Give us Your courage Lord, because often we are put to do things under pressure and its so hard to do what's right.

Give us Yourself Lord, because our hearts were made for You and we will not rest till we rest in You.






this whole year feels like its some kind of transition year and not really a proper year. that doesnt sound very coherent, but cos everything's like temporary and i don't know what i'm doing long term, it feels a bit funny. not like haha funny, but odd kind of funny...


haha, but my kids are sweet as always... one of them said 'I love you ms shermine!' so sweet ah, haha and one of them ran up to hug me today. oh and one of the kids i was attached to last time asked me if i would like to join his class today. aiyo they're all so exquisite and each one is so special and lovely. from the young ones to those who are about our age, they're all so unique, and there's so much to learn from each one of them... (:

its quite tiring to say so much everytime someone asks me abt my internship, so i always say the kids are cute. but they're much more than cute. a hamster can be cute too. but my kids are so beautifully and wonderfully created... (: sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're sweet, sometimes they're just so naughty and exasperating (:

i love them lots lots lots lots!!!


lovelove!

today i was scrolling through facebook pictures. i really miss my straight hair ):

i just had to change my hairstyle cos i was bored, but now i really really miss it!!!! ): i guess i had to try it once, if not i'll always be wanting to perm, but i think i won't ever ever do it again! haha (:

and i think i miss my rj school uniform!!! skirts are so much more cooling! wearing pants everyday now to work is very suffocating and makes my skin itchy too! poor guys!

and i miss all the funny things we used to do together in school! haha sandwich making!!

but i think i miss my uniform the mostest!! i dont believe i am actually saying this but i miss not having to choose what to wear everyday, and not bothering about dress codes cos everyone looks the same!!! haha

but anyway, my kids are still cute, and i've still got great supervisors and colleagues (actually, dont really feel like colleagues, more like friends doing projects together! haha)
and our project is still going okay! (:

and God is still cool, i think i have been very blessed to get this job, and very blessed too to get these fun project assignments.

lovelove!!

I love love love my kids in school!!! (:

they're the most adorable bunch and if they actually make eye contact and say hi to me or remember my name, I feel so happy! (:

like today, one kid was being a little naughty and running around, but then he spotted me, and he stopped suddenly and waved a very cute little wave before continuing to run around. okay,that doesnt even make sense abt why i'll be happy at that, but i was so happy and grinning away to myself.

and when i was with my class kids, one of them pointed to the lift and asked me why students cannot use the lift.
i said' cause you might get stuck inside!!'
he then opened up his palms to show me, and said 'but i'm not sticky! I won't get stuck!'

hahah, so cute!!!! (: love them to bits


of course there're also sad things that happen... but its okay, cos the kids are not very responsive to facial expressions, so even if my eyes are a bit wet, they wont really notice. haha, still so cute ah. (:

and since starting this job, i changed my mind, and i decided that maybe...

little boys are cute too!!!! haha (:


lovelove!

i'm really sleepy... haha not getting used to waking up at 6 plus again to go to work...

i was all excited to work, but i kinda want holidays again. haha, and... i almost want to wear school uniform again! haha, its too difficult to fret everyday about what to wear and stuff. haha, the ppl there are really nice and all, and the kids are reallll cute. but there's this scary non disclosure form that we had to sign, so i don't dare to say anything!! (: haha

anyway, i pass rj everyday on the way to work. haha, i miss ms ng!! (: and i miss 5B too!!!

heyyy from nz!!! (:

i miss rice!! i was so happy to eat jap food today! finally we get asian food again!! (: i was so happy i ate half a bowl of rice on top of my bowl of noodles! haha, and couldnt walk after that!!haha

its dry and cold here, and everyone is stealing my lip butter, glosses,moisturisers and creams!!! see la, all never bring!!!! haha

other that that, its fun here!! (:

anyway, i love love love the wildflowers here!!! its all sorts of colours! pink, blue, yellow, red, purple!!! so pretty!!!

missing everyone lots!!

lovelove!!! <3

heyy, off to nz early tmr morning. it kinda feels a little like a dream. A levels were here and are gone, and so is our hk trip and class dinner, and soon nz will be over too. ):

time was passing so slowly before As, and now its moving reall quickly, its scary!!!

anyway, i ate guazai today. quite tempted to bring him to see nz too, but nz has strict customs abt bringing agriculture into the country and i bet he'll be confiscated and thrown away!! ): he wasnt very sweet btw. haha

lovelove!!!

ooohhhh my toesy hurts!!! i've got a terrible ingrown nail. it's cos i was late for class dinner yest so i didnt finish cutting it before running out, and of course after walking a whole night in high heels only added to the poor nail being lodged in further!!!
maybe i might beat jess to being the first to die directly of high heeled related causes. haha

anyway, had a really fun class dinner yest whereby i ate a lot a lot!!! to make up for the 70 dollars price!! everyone looked real nice all dressed up and xiuxiu was the prettiest!!! (:



tmr i have lunch with my cell girls!! yay!! (:

lovelove from sher and guazai!

btw, poor guazai is going to be eaten soon. say ur last goodbyes!!!! 0:
maybe i should get a watermelon soft toy in memory of poor ol guazai ):

gua zai says hi!! (:

gua zai means little melon in cantonese and he's my little hk watermelon!!! he's a reallll cutey pie!! (: he's abt the size of... 2 fists! (: so cute huh!!! (: haha, i really like my gua zai!!

we just got back from hk and it was real fun! lots of mad shopping and eating!! xiu xiu was real pro at finding all the nice places to eat, especially those kind of stalls which look a bit dingy! haha, i ate one basket of xiao long baos all by myself!! (: my feet are still numb from walking!! but it was really cool to go to the markets, but i always felt lost, good thing we had dawny who has a magnetic gps system in her brain and can find all the directions in the world and always gets us where we want to go!

oh, and we are so embarassing at the airport! we were late to get on the plane there and ALSO late to get on the plane home. and we had to carry lots of luggage and run through the airport both times! on the way back, we were carrying 21 boxes of eggtarts, chicken pies doughnuts and running!!!goshhhh.... i cant imagine if we missed our flight!! the gate was supposed to close at 7 40pm and we reached at 7 42pm!!! thank goodness they let us in still if not we'll be camping at the airport now! hahah,anyway, luckily we had jess who was an expert at hauling luggages up the bus!! haha no need to worry about unemployment!

and we went to central area, temple street which was a red light district we think! cos we saw a couple of girls in mini skirts and boots loitering around! and we saw fbt man!!! okay, just a guy wearing fbts (do guys even wear fbts? not to mention that its winter and it was a cold windy night!! ) and slippers in the real cold weather while we were bundled up in layers of scarfs and sweaters. and he was approaching guys and asking them stuff. and we really wanted to know what he was doing for a living, so we kinda trailed him around for a while! and jess quickly bent down to tie and untie shoelaces so we could hear! dawny kept imagining that suddenly there would be a spotlight on us and sirens and radars would zoom in and we'd have to run for it, but before we know it, there'd be this little white van that grabs us and kidnaps all of us!! it was kinda funny for us then to do our little snooping and we wanted to ask the nearby dessert uncle if he knew what the guy was doing.

but it was also really sad at the same time...i dont know how to say it, but it just made me really sad to see him having to do that. we didnt get to find out if he was the manager or the callguy, but either way,we decided that he didnt look like a bad guy, and i think he looked kinda tired and maybe a little sad. oh, and he looked cold too.its sad right. as dawny pointed out, he only could buy a yakult cos it was the cheapest drink! and he didnt get any business the whole time we were there (but i actually think that's a really good thing). sigh. we should have bought egg tarts for him and the girls or something...

):


anyway it is a coincidence that my latest issue of impact magazine was talking about streetreach, an nz christian organisation that focuses on reaching streetwalkers. one of their events is to hold a special night for these ladies and pamper them with facials, gifts, manicures, refreshments, basically things that girls like la, just to let them know they are valued and loved for something more.



man, i wish i could do an internship with streetreach!!!!!!


anyway, just a side thought, do you think it's possible for a person to die from feeling unloved all the time?
):


okay okay, gua zai my little melon says that he loves you all and goodnighty!! hahaha, he's the cutest little melon in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! :D

dinner with the class tmr!! EXCITING!!!

yay As are over!! (: finally!! haha, it feels great!! (:

i've got such a nice long long long holiday to look forward to until school starts realll late next year!! haha (: (: (: haha, this is wonderful!! the only thing that will be sad is that i wont be able to see most of my classmates for a long long time too!! ):


hahhaa, okay, actually the point of this post is just so that the lousy whiny post about my hair wont be at the top of the page! okay, i'll not complain anymore! just wait for it to grow out slowly- 6 months!!!



love love everyone!!!!!

sigh.this is one of the worst things i've ever done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



what did i do???




i got a perm!!!!


and it looks terrible. kinda looks like something exploded!


oh gosh...what am i going to do!!!!

i've destroyed my poor hair!!!!!!


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i finally got my eyebrows shaped today!!! it HURT!!! even though alvin and the chipmunks's christmas song was playing in the background, i was not relaxing, and i was tearing. haha thank goodness it was only abt 15 mins? i dunno, and the lady was nice. (:

anyway, A's are almost over!! gosh.. i can't wait... hurry up and be over!! i want to play already! haha

and i'm scared for my interview tmr!!! haha, i practised shaking hands with jess buddy to give a 'firm handshake' tmr! haha,and i cut all my long nails off ): so that i won't poke the interviewer! haha, well, i hope i don't say dumb things.

and i kinda like those times i spent with my mum, while studying for A levels. cos it would be just me and her alone the whole day and its kinda nice to spend time with her too (:

and i like how she will always pray, not that i will be successful or find all the papers easy and stuff, but that whatever happens with my applications, papers etc, that His grace will be enough for me. I really like that (:

through all these worrying about my applications to uk, i'm learning trust all over again!!! it's not easy at all! i kept checking my email, ucas track and even reading lots of forums to see who got offers from where!! and i kept worrying about this and that esp how to grow my money tree to pay for it!! but God has been really nice to me anyway. (:

lovelove!!
