Speaking up!

For those who'd read my blog, I'd been in Stamford for about 2-3 weeks now. It's a totally different environment, not to mention having a totally different species of people to mix in class..The lecturers didn't like me in the first place when I told them I would only be joining for 3 months and that I'm from a pure science education background. They treat me as if I'm really dumb and retarded..they way they talk and make fun of me is well..let's say..immature! But after my first week of class, I'd gained some respect from my econs, marketing and accounting teacher. So, that's not a bad start.

However, what frustrate me is my management lecturer. Yesterday, all of us were suppose to present how to develop the competencies to succeed as a manager. I did my part, done my speech, got my dad to look at it to make sure i was on track, and presented it without reference! Mr David wouldn't look at me during my presentation. He was suprised at first when i started my speech, then he kept looking down at his record book, the class were staring at me with surprise and blurness.. After my presentation, my dear fren said it was very detailed and too specific and clear! And all mr david manage to say was "very well prepared" ? Anyway, after all presented, a classmate (guy) proudly concluded for each of us that A** did the best job and was very specific with her work and examples.. Ok, let me explain this, A** didn't do her work. She scribbled a few things on a rough piece of paper, talked out of topic and babbled somethings....all accomplished without a single example! This doesn't make sense until I realised that he was trying to court A** .. *sigh*immatureness!* Then, as usual, mr david said we went out of topic and he explained the things we should have written. Then Guess what happens?!? He took my paper, and took points out of it, change the words and gave it as if it was his own idea. He just wouldn't admit I was good! *LOL* I was smug when I saw his reaction during my presentation. =p

Anyway, Dear guy-trying-to-please-A** went overboard again during accountings. I don't know how the class ended up talking about fruits but here's what happen..

MR S: So, you don't peel your fruits?
Me : Nope, it's usually served readily cut. My parents are really nice!
MR S: Your parents really love you.
Guy : Sherrie would NEVER survive in a jungle or anywhere hard!
Me: Excuse me! I went to NS, I'd been through lots of stuff..I'd jungle tracked, camped and done more than you did in your life!
Guy : But NS is not jungle!
Me : Oh ya?!? I'd stayed on top of a hill, without proper supply of water and food! No medical help. Nothing! I'd camped and done stuff..
Guy : ...

Well, he was overboard! He was trying to get A**'s attention throughout because MR S asked me question when A** was talking. After I raised my voice a little, the whole class was shocked and quiet. Finally, class continues. WITHOUT disturbance for the day! hahaha..

sorry, Sherrie is no longer that timid little girl..I'd grown out of it and I'm not afraid to speak my mind out! And I actually LOVE it! =p

Studio R experience

So, this is my second post for the day..LOL..not that I'm free which I totally am..Anyways, I went to 1 Utama earlier with my mom and guess who I met? *hehe* not super star or Prince William..I met Wai May! haven't seen her in ages. Never met her since UPSR and to bump into her today was so nice! Didn't catch up much coz was in a hurry to get my shopping done. Really glad to see her..apparently we haven't change a bit,well, except for May's accent. =p Oh, I got myself a bagpack (which later can be used for travelling or outdoor activities =p) , a pair of winter gloves and a really sweet scarf..not that I'm overexcited going to US..but Hey! it's sales! They were on discount! hahaha..am not going to post any pictures of them, otherwise my mom would think I'd gone mad! Really fun..i mean, just walking and trying on stuff..and not buying most of them.. =)

Anyway, 2 days back, daddy bought me a new pair of sports shoe from Studio R KLCC to take along with me when I leave. How sweet right? I know it looks like a pair of aerobic shoes but it's definately X-Training..which means I can do anything I want with my second pair as well..hehe..but what made us all angry was the salesgirl who was attending to my dad. Dad wanted a pair of sports shoe as well, so he asked the girl to get his size. Turns out that they don't have it in his size. Ok, it's fine..choose second pair..third pair..fouth pair..ALL NO SIZE?!? That's fine with us too! So, we got 2 choices left..so,mom told her to get whichever of the 2 choices that has his size. And this happen:
Girl: (Brings a pair of shoes) Here's one of them. The other one no size. Mom: Ok, nevermind then. Thanks. Girl: Actually, one customer can only try on 3 items. Management Policy. And you'd choosen so many already. (Showing a sour face ) Mom: But you didn't have any of the sizes. So, basically, he didn't try any of them. Girl : But you requested for them. Mom: But it's not our fault that you don't have the right size, right? How can you say like that? Girl : It's from the management. Only 3 items! Mom: So if I want to try & buy more items, I can't? Girl: Yes! Exactly! Mom: So you don't want to do business? Girl: That's right! Management says so!

(Girl walks away..) The next conversation was loud enough to be heard by the other salesgirls.. =p

Me: If the management has that policy, they should have it in black and white. Then paste them up where customers can see it. Sis : ya, and according to what has been taught by the government in Moral, we DO have hak
pengguna! hak memilih, hak bersuara...etc Me: ya! maybe someone's just being lazy..which store ever says a customer can only buy 3 items? I mean, it's shoes we're talking about..of course we would need to try before we buy.. Mom: don't forget, they're expensive too! Sis: yup! look at the girl complaining to her friends. Look at the other salesgirl who attended to you! You tried 4 pair before deciding..and all 4 had your size. And yet she was serving with a smile! So, who's right? The girl who insist on having such policy or the other girl. Me : Well, that's why she's a STILL salesgirl.. We really should ask to the management about this policy thing!

After that, we slowly take our time to choose a few more socks..then slowly walk towards the cashier with some little comments, browsing and walking..it was stupid for her to talk back to a customer like that. It not only ruins the customer's mood of purchasing but also the image of the shop. For one, I wouldn't go back there if she was there. I would rather travel further than facing such people. I went to Studio R at different outlets, tried on so many stuff before buying just a few of them..and NEVER heard of such policy! It was always service with a smile, at least till that day.

P.S. sorry if I offended any Studio R workers or management. But sometimes how a customer is being treated by the salesperson is REALLY important. I'd been a frequent customer and this really upsets me!

Anyway, this is what I got.. yipee...

stamford days..

Well, I'd officially started my 3-month course at Stamford College..hehe..I know it sounds pretty strange to enroll in another course when I'm leaving in a few months time..LOL..but I'm so bored! and I just need to prepare myself for the course I'm about to take. I don't think I can understand all the business stuff easily without going for some short course..especially when I'd been doing science all my life! haha..Ms Mabel was pretty suprised (still is!) and a lil' disappointed. She kept asking me to take a major in physics or biology? Ok, first of all, I'm not that smart and brilliant. Second, it would definately be a torture if I don't have a good lecturer. Third, there's not much scholarship and job opportunities for an average student like me. *sigh* So, finance it shall be! It should be alright since it's mostly numbers, formulas and understandings! not like organic chemistry..all hafal only! so boring..

Guess what! Now my class is smaller than my Physics class! Who would have guess that there would be any class smaller than my physics?!? haha..So, Mr Lim..don't worry, your class ain't the smallest yet! now my course only have 5 students, including me..but there's this guy who disappeared after the first 2 days of class already! *sigh* so basically, just the 4 of us! so, u guessed it, we're always together for lunch and classes. But I really miss my a-lvls classes. Guess I could say I shouldn't have taken everything for granted at UCSI..the facilities is so so so much better in UCSI..the classes, the food, the environment..and the INTERNET CONNECTION! haha..the computers at stamford is so slow..way slower than my house! and I thought UCSI was bad..well, suprise suprise..but no matter, it's only gonna be till july..at least for me and not the rest of them la~ *LOL*

p.s. gotta stop here now..going shopping now! haha..

*invisible me*

I don't understand why most of my friends get so anxious when it comes to my relationship life. Why does everyone keep telling me to get a bf? I don't really think I need one yet? at least not at the moment. No guys will ever notice me, for one. I'm not pretty or a size zero. =p I guess, even if I don't find one, I should be just fine. I'd been single-ly happy for 19 yrs now. ya, I won't deny that I do envy my friends at times but being single is better? I have my freedom to do what i please, and I don't have to change my personality or character to suit another. I just want to be ME! haha.. i know i sound like a selfish brat but hey! if a guy likes me, he just has to accept who I really am. =p So, people.. please don't try to force me into get one yet.. whichever guy that ever falls for me must be completely out of their mind! LOL ..

the fact is:
i'm just not pretty, tall, model-looking-thin-size zero type. I'm just an average plain jane. I don't dress up or wear make up. So, what makes people think I would EVER be noticed..haha..

*I think Ugly Betty looks way better than me? *Or maybe they should try 'Ugly Sherrie'? I guess it's just me. No matter how another person look, regardless of being a size zero or a size 10, they definitely look much much more beautiful than me! Even if it's a plump lady in tank top..I would still think she's better off than me. My parents would say I'm fat! I'm just not noticeable at all. I'm not really depress, just..well.. i don't know exactly how I feel.

Ok, so this morning, my mum got her suits, blazers and skirts for me to try out. Ya, the formal ones. I look so funny in them.. LOL.. it's like playing dress up when I was little. I used to love dressing up in my mum's clothes, play with her glasses, perfumes and makeup. Mum used to be so irritated when I start doing it.. haha.. but now.. she's making me do it and I don't wanna wear them anymore. The last time I wore a dress was when I was 9! And now I need to get a few of my own?!? It feels really weird to start wearing these flare skirts, coats, blazers and blouses! What more are those working shoes that I'm dreading to buy. *sigh* no complaints since it's a requirement from the uni to have them knowing that there would be endless presentations, functions and dinners! Bottom line? I look weird in formal! If I can get a picture, I'll try to post it up..just for laughs! haha =p

When you're down to nothing, God is up to something

When you're down to nothing, God is up to something."




This is beautiful! Try not to cry.



She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating
room. She said: "How is my little boy ? Is he going to be all right ?
When can I see him ?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could,
but your boy didn't make it."




Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care any
more ? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?" The surgeon asked,
"Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will
be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son.
She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would
you like a lock of his hair ?" the nurse asked.



Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a
plastic bag and handed it to Sally.



The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the
University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no
at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe
it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She
went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else.
Always wanting to help others if he could." Sally walked out of
Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the
last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the
seat beside her in the car.



The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty
house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock
of his hair to her son's room.




She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his
room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed
and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.



It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed
was a folded letter. The letter said : "Dear Mom, I know you're going to
miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving
you, just 'cause I'm not around to say "I Love You". I will always love
you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again.
Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely,
that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with.
But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the
same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls
like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat
place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me
around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels
are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus
doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it
was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what, Mom ?
I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important.
That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you
good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well,
you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to
write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is
going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the
answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed
him ?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus
was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His
children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written
except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't
that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write
some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table
with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.


Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is
all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God
couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The
Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery !
How about that ?


Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.
