Things to buy (excluding rapture costumes):
ASIENCE essence lotion
IKEA wooden photoframes
6 white zara spag tops
1 orange/brown/lime green/white tall vase
MORE CLOTHES ( I recognise this so much as a want and give so many reasons that it's turning into a need. HAHA)
The weekend's gone. 3 more days of "holiday" before really starting school again. Post BTs relaxation woohoo.
Unfortunately for me, everyone else has school. Which means I can't hang with other friends. Rargh.
I'll be tanning tomorrow, hopefully I turn a shade or two darker. PLEASE PLEASE GOD LET ME BE BROWNER.
TM. We planned the worship before practice for a change and I think it produced quite good results! Planning would most probably take place for future worship practices so yall take note! =)
Candice Jeanne and Nana stayed over saturday. THIS GRACIE ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT HER GRANDMOTHER'S BIRTHDAY LAST MINUTE BEST. Haha.
We had fun, watching juno and 27 dresses, agreeing on how cool juno is, how her attitude totally is like.. WOAH. how she can be so.. so COOL with everything that comes her way. Her parents are super supportive and basically, even though she got pregnant at 16 and all, she's still damn cool.
Apparently the story was written by a stripper. I believe it was. The language used in the movie was almost "too real". If you know what I mean. It isn't the normal "everyday" speech you see in other movies where most of the time the characters just talk normally and there are certain scenes that are more emotional just because the characters say something really touching, but somehow the scriptwriter for juno manages to use "non-ordinary" words in reactions that you hardly see in other movies. Even then, it was all very "non-movie, more real life teenager language". The emotions were bought through by the words. Not the sentences. OK NEVERMIND. Haha.
We were so tired after watching the movies that we just went straight to bed. HAHA.
Took cab to church, about 2bucks per person, ok LAH not too bad. =)
Couldn't concentrate on the sermon, I WAS HUNGRY! Heh.
Jeanne Candice and I went shopping afterward but unlike the 2, I didn't buy anything. It felt a lil depressing. Haha. Oh well. Save money for now, till rapture costumes are all settled AND THEN I SHOP FOR REAL. But no more sales. Ah well. NEVERMIND. =)
Re-met the guys for BNJ's, boost, a bit more shopping and STARDUST at my house. Haha yes we rented another show to watch. Haha.
While shopping for nail polish, eliel said i was indecisive. Haha!
Eh eliel, it's not exactly my decision to make yet. Nothing is standing out to me yet, nothing is saying "buy me cheryl!". So I can't, it's difficult to make any decisions and settle for one colour! HAHA.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. You do right? Haha.
Is that why I'm testing out all the colours to see which one I like the most? Oh dear.
You tell me. Good. Or not.
I'll do a lil bit of revision or maybe filing stuff later if I feel like it, otherwise there's TOMORROW and TOMORROW TOMORROW. And TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW. =) No school kinda rocks.
Heh.
I feel like going out though! =( I want to watch more movies, just chill and talk and laugh and shop and all! Whoever is free, I AM, so you know what to do! =)
Ok. SHARP HEARTPAIN.
No good.

Today my parents didn't dare ask me about my papers.
We all know why.
Over dinner they asked bryan and then I said there's no point asking me cos my reply would always be the same.
And the replied," We know. That's why we didn't ask."
When daddy was driving me home from school, he stopped by the petrol kiosk. And when he got out of the car he said," Do you want anything?" And then he said I could buy anything. Or something to that effect.
I got sweets.
And then daddy bought ice cream.
Seems as though daddy shows his love for me through food. I remember in sec 4 when I was studying for O levels, there was no point in time that the freezer had less than 3 tubs of ice cream.
One of my favourite flavours : Macadamia Nut

My papers are extremely disappointing. And I already know what grade I'm gonna get. Haha.
Econs paper this morning.
I handed in my name and class. Cos thats what the instructions on the cover page said. You still gotta hand in blank paper and your name and class.
I've got most of the answers in my brain but somehow I couldn't put it down on the paper, not even planning on the question paper. I really did have the answers in my head though. So for the whole 2hours 15 minutes I simply stared at the question paper. Ok not really. I stared at it for an hour and gave up and slept through the rest of the time. Haha what a joke Cheryl.
I didn't feel anything after the paper. No joy no sorrow. Haha. Maybe I just put my feelings behind a shelf somewhere in my brain. Maybe I was extremely sad, but so sad I just couldn't cry. Haha.
GP in the afternoon was much better. Much.
I can tell Mummy and Daddy don't know what to do. Mummy said,"Aiyah why. I'm also not like those parents who put pressure on you must pass must pass. Nobody's putting pressure on you. Why you go pressure yourself? Maybe I should use reverse psychology and put pressure on you.."
And Daddy went," Just relax, I tell you if you get a mental block just close your eyes for 15 minutes and relax. Don't be so stressed. Say a prayer."
I couldn't help but look at myself from a "lit" point of view. That's what studying lit does to you. You look at everything differently. Oh dear I hope after JC when I don't take lit anymore I'll stop this "lit" point of view.
And I thought of some factors that maybe had some effect on me thus resulting in this absurd behavior of not being able to perform during exams. I didn't know I was affected by these things. Haha. But it made sense.
------------------------------------
I saw that person today and I felt weird. I think. I dunno.
Then I told someone about it. I know I should share but at the same time I knew I shouldn't have done so. Doesn't matter. We both agreed to forget we ever spoke about it. We agreed I didn't say anything in the first place.
Alright 6 hours worth of paper tomorrow! I'm so exciting I can't wait.

Half-Hearted Commitment
By Greg Laurie
" 'I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spit you out of my mouth!' "
Revelation 3:15--16
Milk is great cold. There's nothing quite like a cold glass of milk with some cookies. Milk is also good hot. With a little chocolate syrup, it's great. But lukewarm milk? The thought of it is sickening. It just doesn't cut it.
In Revelation 3, Jesus spoke of lukewarm individuals. He said, "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were one or the other!" (verse 15). It's interesting that Jesus said He would prefer either hot or cold. You would think He would have said, "I would rather you be hot. But if lukewarm is all I can get, it's better than nothing."
You would think that lukewarm would be more acceptable to Him, because it is somewhat close to hot. But Jesus was saying, "I don't want lukewarm. I don't want half-hearted commitments. I want you to decide. I want you in or I would rather you were out."
Here's why. If you're hot, you're in. If you're on fire, if you're walking with God, then you're where God wants you to be. But if you're cold, hopefully you will at least realize you're cold and one day realize your need for Christ and come to Him.
But the lukewarm person is in the worst state of all because he is self-deceived. The lukewarm person says, "I go to church. I read the Bible sometimes. I kind of believe in God--when it's convenient." That is the worst state of all. What is your spiritual temperature today?

I'm not looking forward to school. No student in his or her right mind would. What more, exams. First thing after school reopens.
------------------------------------------------
For the first time in my life probably, I enjoyed studying.
Today at Subway. With Gracie and Nana.
Ah. Motivation? Maybe.
Arthur was at the club but it was too far and I didn't really want to study.
BT2s are gone so might as well not study and make yourself feel better. Haha. WRONG MENTALITY.
So I did study a bit. Of physical geog.
I'm still not gonna pass BT2s. But I'll try to get at least an S for everything. Or an E. HIGH HOPES WOW.
------------------------------------------------
This is exactly what I think. Sometimes. Though I know there is something wrong with this sentence.
Sometimes I get a lil rarghy cos I don't like people to see my faults if they do notice me.
I always want to portray a "strong" image to everyone, I don't like them to see that I do have many weaknesses too.
I was just reminded that my friends love me for who I am. And God does too.
God's strength is made PERFECT in my weaknesses. =)
------------------------------------------
I wonder what his reaction would be when I see him in school tomorrow. Will he ignore me, acknowledge me? Will something like that ever happen again? Part of me wants, part of me doesn't. I'm not gonna think about it anymore.
Oh yes. If you see me on MSN, remind me to study. =)

Back from camp! =)
I felt like this camp was more 'slack' than usual. A lot of free time in the afternoons to shop and do whatever else you wanted. Heh.
The 8 hour bus ride didn't feel as long as it was. Maybe cos I slept through most of the way. Haha. Or maybe cos the J2s are damn fun to hang out with.
On the second day, they screened " Facing the giants", about an American football team and how they, from being 'ultimate losers' came up top in the state championships. With God's help. Of course. =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vB59PkB0eQ
This clip is about Brock Kelley, the captain of the team.
This is one of the most memorable segments and it got me thinking a bit about my life.
I would rather be blind to the whole master plan and just follow God's voice. Yeah maybe it'll be painful and tiring at times, but eventually the results would be more than expected and pleasing. God's always there to push you on.
If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it. But even then, it's the process, what you get out of it and what you learnt that is more important. Not the results.
Another segment at the end showed little David the field goal kicker. When asked to kick a 51 yard goal, he was scared and couldn't do it. Only finally when he took that leap of faith, and put in his best, did he score that winning goal.
Sometimes it's really hard to let go and let God work. Still, letting God work means you have to give your best. Like David scoring that goal, it was "impossible". He didn't have faith, but once he took that step of faith, he gave his best and God did the rest.
It might seem difficult to serve God and sometimes you think you're making a fool out of yourself. But ultimately, it's God's plan for everything to happen and by letting it happen, you're sorta honouring God, you're letting God take control and work.
Really like that movie, I'm gonna find it and buy it haha!
Besides the sermons and worship, one other thing the J2s spent the most time on was shopping and eating. Haha. Studying was left to the hours before bed, when you were waiting for your hair to dry and when you get back early from shopping with another few hours before dinner.
We shopped like MAD. On the 2nd day, at carrefour for food, the 3rd day at Sunway Pyramid for aviators and clothes and on the 4th day at Midvalley for the same. Sunway was a bit disappointing for me, I didn't get anything. But Midvalley was WHOOHOO. =))
Spent about RM 150 just in a shop. 6 tops, a pair of shorts and a belt. Yay! Retail therapy works. Haha. Just visiting the cashier can make a sad woman happy and full of energy again. Haha.
Eating, was done in grossly huge amounts. Pizza, doritos, chips, ice cream, chocolates, 'clown shit', pineapple biscuits, teddy biscuits, instant noodles... I can't recall them all. What did I miss?
Point is. The RM130 we spent on food at Carrefour gave us a FEAST for days. Helped a few stay awake during sermons and was emergency breakfast just before sessions when we couldn't wake up in time for breakfast provided at the victorian ballroom. Heh.
I estimate we spent at total of RM600 at least, on rubbish food. Rubbish food that sorta sustained us. Haha.
Throughout the camp I saw and heard of all the miraculous and amazing stuff God did among our people and everything felt uber cool. There was times when I suddenly had fear in my heart though, about the stuff God is doing and about the future. But after prayer, the fear was removed. =)
I thank God for the fellowship and fun with the J2s, for us being able to be so open during late night conversations HAHA and for all the other smaller stuff that made me feel less lonely on the trip.
I thank God for keeping everyone safe throughout the trip, no accidents, no injuries.
Thank God for prayers and support from church and for showing me that he works in many ways. =)

I'm going overseas for a while. Like tomorrow.
Just finished packing my bags. It's BURSTING.
Cheryl Hoe's ashworth is too small. I'm using the non-roller adidas, my "a**-hole" bag that i've brought to school a few times. Cos it's bigger.
HOW TO CARRY??? Damn heavy. Haha.
I'm gonna take everything out and see what I can leave at home.
HELP.

M and R. The same.
I like people after they treat me nice.
Then it takes about a week to come back to reality.
Sometimes I wish I could dream a lil longer.
---------------------------------------------
Now, it doesn't really matter, I've got permission. For all cases that have gone past, and those to come.
Cos God's in control and it's His plan.
I'm me, but I'm also a child of God.
Thats why when things are really bad, they're not. =)
Oh my, I really love my God.
(Not just because He can do everything.)

Jo's birthday surprise. A bit of a flop. But at least the thought was still there. HAHA.
Our plan:
Get 18 random people on the streets to wish her a happy birthday and pass her a present each.
Logistics:
Jessica, her sister, to be in constant contact with us so that we know where they were and how much time we had to find people to wish her.
18 presents.
18 strangers.
Mich and Beeth came over to my house at 6 to do the DAMN BIG card with the 5 holes and flaps to put our messages in and then we left for town at 8 plus. HAHA. 2 hours to do the card. =p
We waited outside Far East where Jo and Jess were for Aud and Ming Xia or Ming Seah or Ming Sia or whatever his name is. I'm not even sure how to pronounce it.
And we started to plant the gifts. First the ginormous balloon at a shop on level 3, followed by a red rose about 30 steps away from that. Unfortunately, that stranger couldnt be trusted, he ran away with the rose. Damn. I told you, that kind of people cant be trusted. Rargh. Haha nevermind. We had extra flowers just in case something like that happened.
Then we left an orange, and an orchid, a candle (not those mini tealight kind, a really heavy, nice smelling 'cup' one LAH haha!) and the big card that led all the way to Orchard MRT.
And by then it was 10 and the shops were closing. So we told Jess to say she had a craving for Famous Amos at Cine.
Along the way we decided to change the location to Borders. Then when we turned back to walk to Borders we saw the giant balloon less than 20m away and we panicked and scrambled in different directions. HAHA. Jo saw us and called Beeth but she insisted she was at home sleeping. HAHA. It was damn funny. After 15 minutes of thinking of alternatives to the original plan, we decided to GO AHEAD with the original and made our way to Cine.
On the way Kuo Loon saw me and called out and I asked him and his friends to be the next few strangers. And then he asked me if Ming Xia/Seah/Sia was MingQi's twin brother and I said no, and Aud said yes. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE. Haha!
No wonder I thought he looked DAMN familiar. Saw Ming Xia/Seah/Sia at Funorama but he wasnt shaven headed so he didn't look as similar to MingQi as he did on Saturday.
So then. Kuo Loon and his friends helped take 2 presents each and went into Cine one at a time, found Jo and handed her the presents.
So now I owe, GLADLY owe Kuo Loon Mee Goreng when school reopens. If I didnt meet him, I would have to rely on beng-looking people looming the outside of Cine. Thank God for friends haha!
We sang Jo a birthday song as she turned the corner from the escalator and she treated us to BKs afterward. Jess took LOTS of pictures Haha! And Ming Xia/Seah/Sia learnt well from her when Jess was in the picture. Haha!
Jo's still the same, never changed, much. Love her. Lots of laughs as we ate our onion rings and fries and burgers and all. Oh man I cant write about it, I don't know where to start.
Watched CJ7 with Aud Mich and Beeth who stayed over afterward at my house. We planned to pull Jo over to my house at midnight but we were all still at Cine then. And at 130, we just remembered Jo's mum isn't a fan of sleepovers, especially when it came to her own daughters. So we chickened out at the last minute. Oh well.
It was great, felt really good to be around sixinaclique, although RJ was missing. I'm loving my secondary school friends so much, even though we're all in JC now.
The whole night wasnt very successful, it was a little flopped but we all had MAJOR fun. =)
DAMN I cant wait for the next meet up!
---------------------------------------------
In town, Aud did something that reminded me of a certain him. And since the people we knew were of a significant percentage the same, my mouth had to urge to speak his name a few times. I did. Once. Thats all. I had to control myself so bad not to.

Then when we turned back to walk to Borders we saw the giant balloon less than 20m away and we panicked and scrambled in different directions. HAHA. Jo saw us and called Beeth but she insisted she was at home sleeping. HAHA. It was damn funny. After 15 minutes of thinking of alternatives to the original plan, we decided to GO AHEAD with the original and made our way to Cine.
On the way Kuo Loon saw me and called out and I asked him and his friends to be the next few strangers. And then he asked me if Ming Xia/Seah/Sia was MingQi's twin brother and I said no, and Aud said yes. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE. Haha!
No wonder I thought he looked DAMN familiar. Saw Ming Xia/Seah/Sia at Funorama but he wasnt shaven headed so he didn't look as similar to MingQi as he did on Saturday.
So then. Kuo Loon and his friends helped take 2 presents each and went into Cine one at a time, found Jo and handed her the presents.
So now I owe, GLADLY owe Kuo Loon Mee Goreng when school reopens. If I didnt meet him, I would have to rely on beng-looking people looming the outside of Cine. Thank God for friends haha!
We sang Jo a birthday song as she turned the corner from the escalator and she treated us to BKs afterward. Jess took LOTS of pictures Haha! And Ming Xia/Seah/Sia learnt well from her when Jess was in the picture. Haha!
Jo's still the same, never changed, much. Love her. Lots of laughs as we ate our onion rings and fries and burgers and all. Oh man I cant write about it, I don't know where to start.
Watched CJ7 with Aud Mich and Beeth who stayed over afterward at my house. We planned to pull Jo over to my house at midnight but we were all still at Cine then. And at 130, we just remembered Jo's mum isn't a fan of sleepovers, especially when it came to her own daughters. So we chickened out at the last minute. Oh well.
It was great, felt really good to be around sixinaclique, although RJ was missing. I'm loving my secondary school friends so much, even though we're all in JC now.
The whole night wasnt very successful, it was a little flopped but we all had MAJOR fun. =)
DAMN I cant wait for the next meet up!
---------------------------------------------
In town, Aud did something that reminded me of a certain him. And since the people we knew were of a significant percentage the same, my mouth had to urge to speak his name a few times. I did. Once. Thats all. I had to control myself so bad not to.

Daddy and mummy left bryan and I at home alone for more than a week while they holidayed in australia. Woah nice mummy power. Fly back from taiwan, then immediately fly again.
For the time they were gone I cooked and cleaned and washed.
And when they were back, I was almost not used to it.
But I'm SO glad their back. Finally.
No more stressing over unwashed dishes or dinner.
Reward: a whole luggage full of chocolates and fudge, nuts and cereals, soaps and scents and everything nice.
Brought some to dance, gone in a instant. It's THAT good. =)
-----------------------------------------------
Cheryl is broken. But that's a good thing I learnt. So.
Anyway, I bet you don't care. Haha.

Friday last week. Had dance. By the time I was ready to leave school, it was dark out.
Tomorrow's exactly one week. I wonder why I'm bothering so much about friday. I'm not. I'm not.
Saturday. Had dance. Manda and Dawn couldnt go for AC dance. So it was just Jonah and I and Roy Tong and Bryan.
Clarice and Adele were DAMN GOOD. Gave me motivation to work harder for rapture.
Had a damn late dinner with those guys and more of their friends like Weiarng (Jonah said to call him 'weird ang' haha), Titi, Warrick ( I didn't know he hangs with the ruggers haha.), Mandeep (I think that's his name) and more.
Ice cream later at cold rock. I stupidly mixed flavours. Aiy. Shouldnt have. Chocolate shouldnt be mixed.
Monday till today so far. Danced everyday. Miss Wee's item is COMPLETE. In 2 days. Thats FAST man. Haha. I hope I remember my steps.
Zaki's doing hot ride. I think he's gonna finish it tomorrow. It's really interesting. A very strong item. And nothing like that done before I think. It's gonna stand out.
This year's rapture is gonna be damn good. Really. It's much more interesting as compared to last year's. Zaki said last year after rapture, not to have all emo emo dances for this year's rapture. He mentioned something about people killing themselves watching it. Haha.
Dancing again tmr. I've got a blueblack in the middle of my foot. Weird.
I must. Be happy. And smile.

Pleasing to the Lord
By Os Hillman
Prepare it with oil on a griddle; bring it well-mixed and present the grain offering broken in pieces as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
Leviticus 6:21
There is a requirement to be blessed at a deeper spiritual level by God. Christ requires it of each of His servants. He required it of Paul when He struck him down on the Damascus Road. He required it of Joseph when he was left in the pit and then sold into slavery. He required it of Jacob when he left his homeland penniless and needy. He required it of most every major leader that He used significantly-brokenness.
Brokenness cannot be achieved on your own. It is something God does Himself. We cannot determine that we are going to be broken, but we can refuse to become broken. When God begins this deeper work in our lives, we can kick and scream and refuse the process. We can manipulate and strive to stay on top, but this only delays His work.
Pride and mammon are ruling strongholds of the marketplace. Brokenness is considered a weak position in the marketplace. However, God says until we are broken we cannot be an aroma pleasing to the Lord. God wants you to be an aroma in the marketplace. In order for this to happen, you and I must be a broken vessel in His hand. Pray that God would allow you to become a pleasing aroma to Him no matter the cost.
God does not break us to cause permanent damage and condemnation. He breaks us in order to restore us to the fullness in due time. Trust Him. (JT)
