I PLAYED 78 ON THE WHITES AT NCR! YAY YAY YAYNESS, A final breakthrough :D
Okay, this week has been crazily busy. I sleep at earliest 2 am every night, and i'm so not kidding. All these late nights just for the stupid Psychology test which totally pissed me off cause I had to change my initially correct answers last minute. Yeah, tell me I suck. Grrr, i'm just so angry with myself the whole afternoon ): But I went to the gym and ran for a whole hour. One hour! C'mon, I deserve some praise for running a whole 60 minutes after not practising for 2 months or so. Hehe :D
So it's Parents' Weekend here, and everyone is spending time with their parents. It seems just like the orientation days again where you see little kiddies with their parents roaming the campus. Haha. Anyway spent the night together with Erica and Chester. Had lots of fun chatting about, mmm let's see, everything! Haha. Mannn, I wanna go to Tim's so much but i'm underage ): Fyi, Tim's is a pub where most of the UD kids would go. But the legal drinking age is 21 here, and on it's only open for people who're 18 on Thursday nights. And they're really strict with the rules here so I can't even try to sneak in. Booo ):
& Crazy crap, Monday and Wednesday we have 27 holes qualifiers after class. Seriously?! Gosh, so much for hoping for a more relaxed week to chill out. Sometimes I just can't wait for winter to come (apart from the fact it's my first time experiencing snow) so we wont have anymore practices. Sighhh :/
I want Fall Break, I want Fall Break, I want Fall Break NOW NOW NOW! :D

Okeydokey, so this week went pretty alright for me. Fine, I'll say it went pretty awesome. I'm happy that I can still cope with my studies and homework despite all those hours spent on golf. I'd my first math exam, and it's been a million years since I fared this well. Okay so now I know one thing for sure here, as long as you're willing to put in the effort though you have no brains (yes, that will be me), you can still score :D
Golf, nah. Still struggling. But im getting my swing back and I can control my game better, so yeah. At least my coach and I can tell that there's been improvement (:
Oh alright, so Julie (my roommate) went to I-don't-know-where for tennis tournament, so I was all alone for two nights. So I had Charissa and Erica staying over at my dorm cause I was afraid of those drunkards and that annoying stalker (who recently has been conveniently grabbing food and Julie's bean bag from our room) :/ Anyway, Charissa and I went to the mall yesterday, and we hung out all the way till midnight. Bought quite a number of clothes, and I'm extremely satisfied - boy, do I love reasonably priced clothes :D
Did I mention I can't wait for Fall Break? Charissa was telling me all about the UDIC (UD International Club) trip, and it just sounds so awesome! Paint ball, factory outlets & amusement park. How cool does that sound! And we might even be able to travel to different parts of States during the other holidays. I'm super looking forward to it yeahhh.
Parents' weekend next week so we can enjoy some time off at the end of the week. Yay! Hehe, I love studying here :D

Mannn, im feeling so sick and horrible now. Runny nose, dry throat and the worst is that stupid spinning headache of mine. Yesterday morning I can barely talk, today I can't barely breathe. It's so terrible, seriously. And I have no idea why I can't sleep at all these few days. I bet it's gotta do with the busy schedule here. But honestly, im gonna quit this team really soon. It's just too much to balance.
Random but, Dr Evil and Parry the platypus are dancing now on tv. They're doing the Macarana (however you spell it). US shows, especially Disney, can just get so addictive. And talking about this, Charissa is gonna pass me all seasons of FRIENDS. Awesome, isn't it? I love that show so much, and I love Charissa even more :D
Hung out with the Singapore people yesterday. They're super nice, and it's amazing how much Chester and I spent talking all night. Haha. Oh, and im thinking of joining the International Club and travel all around States during holidays. It sounds so fun. And I wanna go for the retreat next week with Erica, but seriously, screw golf. Grrr.
And let me emphasise how creepy that stupid stalker is. He's literally knocking our door down every night, crying for Julie's name. It's just so so so damn freaky. Honestly.
& REALLY, NOSE, GET A LIFE! STOP RUNNING ):

The world comes to life and everything's bright,
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side.
That helps you to find the beauty you are,
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend.
The gift of a friend.This new Disney song is so gorgeous, so beautiful. And Demi's Lovato's voice is just amazing.
Finally manage some time out for social life, so had a small party at one of my friend's house last night. Four cans of beer after being thrashed at Indian Poker, and especially Guessing Numbers. Haha, but I think I drank all at one time so kinda felt bloated and nauseous for a period of time :/ And did I mention that Beer Pong is super duper fun - well, cause im pretty good at it lah (: But next week is the really crazy party with all the vodka and shots (if that's how you spell it). I'm kinda looking forward to it, I guess. Haha in anyway, yesterday was fun. It seems ages since i've enjoyed and relaxed myself so much. And now I don't even have any mood at all to do homework. Uh-oh ):
& I don't know how else to express myself 'cause i'm taken aback and at the same time extremely touched by 09S43. Recently, they created videos saying hi to me on facebook. And when I saw the video, I cried so bad. It just reminds me of how much love and friendship I left behind, and I miss every single classmate so very very much <3
I don't know how long more can I hang on.

I'm so tired. I'm so exhausted ):
I don't even have time for homework, let alone party and have fun. I can't even study in my own dorm cause of the stupid 8 study hours that athletes need to fulfil every week. Everyday is just lessons early in the morning and trainings stretching from noon to night. The worse is tuesdays and thursdays when we have to get up super early at 7 am for workouts and no rest time in-between till training ends at night.
And yes, it's so bad I don't even have time for meals. Last week, I didn't eat meat for a whole 7 days. And there was a few days when I had cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And I never even eaten cereal before in SG cause I absolutely dislike milk. Isn't it so amazing? (: Everyday is either cereal or peanut butter jelly sandwich (the frozen kind, not even the hand-prepared ones) with Minute Maid apple juice. Vegetarian, here I come :D
C'mon, what's wrong with the summer here! Have you seen a summer with 11 degrees Celsius before? It's freezing here. It's like playing air-con golf here, haha. Wow, if this is summer, I think imma be iceman by winter :/
& A bunch of guys just came over to ask our dorm to support the soccer game tomorrow night. (DID I MENTION I LOVE SOCCER, thanks to VJ! Haha) But yeah, sigh. If only I have time.
Mannn, please don't make me regret coming here.
PS: Forgot to mention, my roommate is awesome. She has literally everything to decorate our dorm (well, she stays 20 mins away from campus) and our dorm is just so amazing, so pretty, so wowww. I love it so much :D

Alright, first day of school just ended for me. Wowww, it's a really crazy hectic day for me. Had 3 back-to-back lessons, Chemistry exam right after, another lesson, and a super duper looong golf meeting to end off. I'm seriously dead beat, and it's only the first school day! :/ The golf seniors seem pretty friendly and nice, so yeah im looking forward to trainings together. But at the same time, im kinda nervous for tmrw's first training. Ahhhhh! :/
NEWS OF THE DAY: I PASSED MY CHEMISTRY AND EARNED MY 3 CREDITS FOR COLLEGE CHEMISTRY COURSE! HOHOHO. Wooooo, im really happy 'cause I made the bare requirement of 55 points to pass in today's exam. Uh-huh, uh-huh, Cheryl rocks your socks yeah :D
I'm just so happy when I come online, even when I have to pon dialogues to do so :/ And yupperino, this is why:
I really loveee this photo. Everyone's so close, so happy together :D
09S43, I can never find a class as awesome, fun-loving and warm as them. This class really showed me the genuine meaning of friendship, and it is here where I find ever-lasting friends that will always stand by me through thick and thin. Even those classmates whom I didn't get to interact much with (especially the guys), they were really very sweet to show so much concern for me before I left. I'm really surprised, but more touched than ever.
This bunch of classmates are the ones who pulled me out of depression, got me to stand firm on my feet again, and assure me of the endless love and support they are willing to provide for me even when I have left the walls of VJ. They are the ones who made me realize who are really my true friends. And yes, they are the ones who helped me retain my belief that true friends still do exist in this cruel harsh reality.
09S43, WE'RE ONE BIG FAMILY <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE <3
(I gave you purple 'cause that was your favourite colour, hehe)
Hope you're liking it in Aussie :DYup, I have been in Dayton for about 10 days already. I'm good here, but it's also pretty tough for me to adapt to this whole new environment. Honestly, i'm struggling here, be it physical reasons such as terrible jet lag or other mental stress including friends and communication breakdown. The interaction and way of life here is just so different from SG. And yes, many people have been telling me the first month is usually tough, but ... Sigh, I miss all my friends at home so badly ):
I really wish I have all your support and love. I know I have all your backs though im here, but yeah. Guess im just really not independent and mature enough to strive on my own. It just feels so weird not having you guys around looking out for me. As in, I have always been so dependent on my classmates and on all you awesome friends. It's really tough to part with you guys and now, standing all on my own in a totally new area.
C'mon Cheryl, you just gotta buck up.
In anyway, thank you so much to those who specially came down to send me off. And thanks to everyone who gave me letters and farewell presents. It's really touching, and im truly grateful for all you friends here. Everytime I pull them out to read, I'll end up crying and missing y'all, especially getting 09S43-sick ): But yeah, they have also served as encouragement for me and im just absolutely thankful for all your support and love.
Just to end off with my favourite photos (more can be found in FB),
SEL Juniors <3
09S43 girls, we rock! :D
Bounty Friends (with paper Eugenia)! We're the best PW group ever <3
ODAC-ers, haha :D
Golfers, with brooms? We're cool :D
Fencinggggggg :D
Tennis girls <3
Hot Brothers :D
09S43, the most photogenic class ever :D
09S43, the joy and smiles we shared together. Missing you guys so much <3

Last night in Singapore = Not in a very :D mood. Mmmm.
Went back to school today to see some teachers, and most importantly my class. I think Mr Goh is a really caring teacher. Though he's very naggy, he's really nice to listen to my worries and gave me a whole lot of advice. And he says my cookies are nice, and I should bake for sale in US. Haha.
I honestly don't know how many times I've said this, but 09S43 is really the most awesome, coolest, funkiest class ever. The video, the song, the individual presents, i'm really really so touched. Though i've only known you guys for a short few months, you've really made my stay at VJC meaningful and satisfying. Because of you guys, I'm regretting my decision to leave so badly now. But in anyway, thank you guys so much for everything. I really love this class so very very very much <3
And to P6 clique, thanks guys for the dinner. Really had fun reminscing about the happy times we used to spend together. And we're really a bunch of heavy gossip mongers, haha. And yes, we've just got together again in VJ and now I have to part with you guys again. But i'll miss you guys so much. If we can go through the past 4 years still being so close to each other, i'm sure we can do it for another 4 years. Haha. Love you guys always <3
To end off: ONCE AN 09S43-ER, ALWAYS AN 09S43-ER <3

Time's flying past so fast. Way too fast for me to catch up.
Okay, first had a very very abrupt meeting with Lynette, Ping and Glee. Like seriously, when Glee told me to meet up, I literally hopped out of the bus at the next stop. Aiyah, but Singapore too tiny to get lost lah. Haha. And let me tell you, Grace's boyfriend is the sweetest sweetest guy I've ever known.
Outing with my dearest BFFs, Joy & MaryAnne later. Supposed to have a picnic, but wet weather plans had to take place, so we ended up feasting in the cinema while watching G.I.JOE. Omgosh, that movie seriously wins Transformers II hands down. G.I.JOE FTWWWWW! :D
Before that, J & M told me that they were gonna bring me to the Build-A-Bear factory. Awww, how sweet are they! Since I always wanted a pet dog, we decided to buy a dog and name it
EmberPoppy, which is born in City of Ember. And it has a birth cert, how coooool. Poppy can even imitate how J & M talk, hehe. Oh oh, Poppy has this really cool scarf. It's supposed to look like the ones that Hogwarts students wear, but the more I look at it, the more i'm reminded of Chuck Bass! School bag makes little Poppy looks cute. Soccer boots remind me of No. _ _ in VJC :DWent to visit Ian later at night. I bought him an apple since an apple a day keeps the doctor away :D Oh oh, and I said my first ever prayer, since I converted to a Christian, for Ian. Really hope God will bless him and take good care of him. Ian, get well soon!
So, I woke up at 6am to bake today, and only ended an hour ago :/ I have so many many things to prepare for my friends, and I haven't even started packing my luggage. Don't even talk about studying Chemistry. Oh gosh. Alright, gonna meet Jolene now! I haven't seen my fairy god daughter for ages. So loooking forward :D
& YOOHOO GLUE FOREVAAA <3

Mary Anne is really sweet to say this:
Cheryl: aiyoh you study at home tmrw lah
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: SIAO.
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: they're not all due tuesday
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: what's more impt man
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: the F im going to see the rest of my life
Cheryl: im saying it for your good and you say im siao ):
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: or the C i'm going to see until friday
See why I love her so much <3The previous week was really upsetting. Tears shed, goodbyes bade and last embraces were exchanged. I really don't wanna leave. I honestly regret even applying for UD just because of those little stupid reasons. How silly was I to miss out such awesome friends who cherish me so much, such great friends whom I know I will share a lifelong friendship with? How silly.
Carrying on with life. Monday I have flu jab. Curse that Indian nurse who refused to give me mental preparation time for that little evil needle to pierce my skin ): And cause of that jab, I couldn't donate my blood on wednesday when VJC had a blood donation drive. Aww man, I so wanted to do a good deed since my blood type is O+. International blood type eh! :D
Feeling Fab was on tuesday. Kayaking was fun, but tiring too. Audrey and I were like totally hopeless when we had to paddle without the oars, but instead with our hands. Hahaha, we were practically on the same spot for five whole minutes. Super hilarious. Overall, it was really fun to learn this new sport :D Went to WeiYi's house later. Omg, my whole impression of him change lah. He made us watch this stupid bra show which is so retarded, so lame and so pervertic. So eeeeew! Now I know what my class guys think all day long :/
Sooo, friday was my last day in school. Mass dance is really really so fun! Partnering WeiYi for the friendship dance was retarded. He doesn't even know how to spin a girl properly, hahaha. Well this is the first day I did all 6 mass dances, yet will also be the last time I'm doing them with the whole school. Sigh, but these memories will definitely stick to me for a long long long time.
IF YOU REFUSE TO READ THE WHOLE POST, AT LEAST READ THIS PART! Await the most exciting part of the week: 2 days 1 night outing with 09s43 at Rasa Sentosa Resort. Okay, I went to Sentosa separetely with the class cause I had to check in at the hotel first. Honestly, I already suspected that they were gonna prepare a surprise dunking session for me or something. But never did I realise they took so much time and effort to prepare Amazing Race for me.
The planned routes from beach to beach, the activities, the friends, the dunking and the "funeral" (they buried me in sand totally), the sleepless night (except for the time I dozed off while catching the sunrise), the VJC cheers and dances at the beach, the night walks, the card games, the singing and the talking. I was just so so so touched by everything they had done to make my farewell memorable.
I really can't express how much I appreciate all the effort put in and how very very much I love my class. Though i'll be leaving 09s43, I'm so blessed to once be a part of this class, to once share so much happy memories with every single classmate. I'm gonna miss you guys so much so much. And to Ian, please get well soon. No doubt, I'll definitely keep him in my prayers. God bless all nice people, so i'm positive that he'll pull through as well (:
Last but not least, had a farewell pizza party with the SEL juniors today. Really sad that i'm gonna leave a squad that i've been in for 6 years, and bade goodbyes to bosom friends whom have walked me through all my life. Thank you guys so much for everything. I'll miss you all too <3
J told me to give you a chance, just one last chance to reconcile and forget all our misunderstandings before I leave. I told her I give up cause I can't do anything without you initiating. I dare to say I tried really hard to change my mind. But you know what now, I give up. I've been as thick-skinned as ever to tell you how I feel, I've told you I don't mind at all a kezillion times, I've told you I'm more than willing to start afresh if only you would change. I have made things so clear, but you just wouldn't.
No one has ever upsetted me this much. What else can I do, but give up?
