Two options

Nobody really announces when they are having a difficult time, going through something personal, and I feel like this issue i'm currently going through, it's not really major, but it's weighing me down a lot. Times like this you can only choose to either engulf yourself in sadness/bitterness, or you can choose to be joyful, to embrace and accept the situation and to slowly transition and move forward. I choose to trust in God's provision, to trust in His perfect plan for me, and that He has a reason why He placed me there.

Happy 50th birthday, Singapore!

Spent my national day at home, trying to study for IHRO next tuesday, which is really close, in 2 days' time. Anyway back to the topic, i'm honestly really thankful that i'm Singaporean, even though I do always complain about the humid and unbearable weather here, and how expensive everything here is sold at. But I believe that my parents' decision of moving to Singapore is part of God's plan. I may not fully comprehend what He has in store for my family and I, but i'm blessed to be living in a country where it's really secure, clean, led by an honest and efficient government, (and I can go on and on...) You can definitely choose to have a negative perception of our country and her flaws, but shouldn't we all be at least grateful for everything we have?

I'm amazed by the accomplishments our country has achieved just within 5 decades, and I can only give the due credit to our late founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew and the pioneer generation. Thanks for standing up for our country and having unwavering and firm beliefs of what is right in your eyes. 

Thank God for Singapore.

Reminder to self

Halfway through

Really lazy these days. Days spent are on napping for more than e.g.: 4 hours today, and then feeling guilty about it afterwards. But i'm not going to repeat this habit starting from tomorrow. It's seriously ruining my sleep cycle/body clock.

Wake up, Sheryl.

Gonna get myself together and with almost one more month to go and i'll be done with this sem!

Time passes so fast, I don't know how many times i've repeated this.

P.S.: had my BLAW debate today about the moot court case we've been working on for quite some time, wrecking our brains and I could feel our brain cells depleting every time we had to come up with points...like seriously. Was better than I expected! Haha so while we were preparing for our debate, we were dressed in formal wear and we looked so professional like actual lawyers passing each other notes, ready to take on and win the case... (not really hehe joking but if you can visualise then good for you).

See you in a bit, hopefully!

E-learning update

So stoked it's finally e-learning week! I've been waiting for this week to come bc the past few weeks have really been draining, with project preparations and all.

So many things happened during the past month, I don't really know where to begin.

Today, my sis and I brought Boy to the vet and they changed location to just a street behind, thank God we didn't walk 7 bus-stops for nothing. The weather was super hot and Boy's fur is black, so basically he was absorbing a lot of heat and halfway throughout the journey, he asked me to carry him like usual. So being a very kind and caring owner, I did. I'm very sure my arms are going to ache tomorrow bc they already are. Anyway, the vet said that Boy has a fatty lump on his chest (it sounds so funny haha) thank God it's not malignant but if it grows 2/3 times bigger its current size, we have to bring him to the vet again for surgery to remove it. And he also has callouses on his elbows and butt area.

Went for lunch at mcdonalds after that bc my neighbourhood has nothing nice to eat sigh.

And my family has been planning to go on an overseas trip preferably either this or next year but the thing is my sister's and my schedules keep clashing thanks to school. The only period when we have hols at the same time is june and december, but that's my 3 weeks hols and i'd have projects and i'm afraid that i can't commit so I rather not go. Which makes this whole thing really frustrating bc we haven't been on a family overseas trip for these 2 years ever since I started poly thanks to our busier and more diff schedules. However i've to return to HK by november 2016 bc of the PR thing so yeap. Looking forward to more video-taking bc SG is just really limited sigh.

Oh and today was really productive! Started my e-learning + wrote some notes. Waiting to start on my SOL 1 but apparently nothing is uploaded yet. Haha I don't even know why i'm so excited to start on it.

I feel like my posts are kinda boring bc it's so wordy and i've been so lazy to upload pictures. But I will???? Hopefully soon.

Back again

It's currently the second week of my so-called holidays, and I am going through some BLAW which stands for business law and it's not very exciting but it's worth going through since i'm lacking behind and kinda lost. I really need more time for myself — days to spend at home, not all out and about and returning home at 8/9/10+ PM. It's not fun going out all the time to be honest. But this holidays is really short and I pretty much don't have a choice.

To update you, i've finally returned to church plus cell group! Only once though haha, but most probably it'll last till this holiday. I'm not sure if i'm allowed to go after that, considering that my schedule will be busier and more hectic. But God, I trust in Your perfect timing! I think I feel slightly better now that i've gone for post encounter, church etc, and rushing through post encounter lessons online because it really reminded me of how important it is to really do my daily devotion. Even though it's really difficult to amidst everything going on, but we need to exercise perseverance and discipline.

Also, I finally managed to hang out with Chia Lynn this holidays, at Sixth Avenue, and we ended up eating KFC there, can you believe it? I think you can aha, and we talked quite a lot and it was nice.

And yes, I got to see Si Rui after around 3 weeks????? It's like we don't see each other for a long period of time, then bam! Meet ups on last Saturday (post encounter), Sunday (church and cell group), this Tuesday (with Wei Ling), and yesterday (video-taking and cafe). Yes we are weird I get it.

I've made more videos. Click here to watch them!

I've completely neglected my blog this year!!! Somehow video-taking + editing seem more interesting (i'm guilty to say). But i'll be on a short hiatus till my next post and i'll probably be excited to blog since i'll be going to a rooftop to take more shots woohoo!!!!!!!!! Yes and more trips to cafes? With WL too I guess!! And I was contemplating whether to go for my 04 class outing this coming holiday, but now that they've already decided on a date which I can't make it due to project, o well haha it's just not meant to be. Thinking of it, it's been >1 year since i've last seen any of them! (Except for Sherlyn and SR of course!) Will it be awkward???? Still remember 1 year ago Feb 4, they surprised me with an ice-cream cake and a balloon ah too nice of them and I was so touched :-)

Something random but I actually like writing notes and giving people small little presents/snacks, really simple way to make someone's day! But now that MSTs are next week, I don't really have the time. Ah it's ok, will update 2 weeks later!
