swimming

I went swimming with Candy yesterday @ HPER..the pool was so warm compared to the weather outside..thanks to the wonderful creation of heater!.. XD It was great to swim in warm waters, if you know what I mean..despite the cold weather outside, my room is cold to! for some reason, it never got any warmer even though Carolyn and I had it turned off for more than a week now...maybe it's the 7th floor thing..I wonder how people could still go to classes in their short pants and those tight fitting shirts..** anyways, after 3 months of not swimming, a few laps are enough to make me tired..I only managed to do 6 in half an hour, which is pretty bad..I should swim more to improve myself..haha..back home, me and my sis would just keep swimming but this time, I'm just horrible. I know that I'd just learn to swim not too long ago but I'm just really bad shape right now. I'm back to where I first begun laps..*sigh* Oh, there was this big weighing scale @ HPER which I always go on to when I'm there..apparently, I'd lost weight again..I really did thought I'd gain some weight at least since it's cold outside..it's a freakish 3'C outside in the afternoon..It's only fall, not winter yet..I'm gonna freeze when winter comes by..

I'm so tired. I slept late again since I had to do some assignments (which is yet to be done) and was busy filling out an application form while talking on the phone. Yesterday, Eugene called me and told me about a trip to Chicago during the Thanksgiving break organized by the university. It was limited to 38ppl and it was a great deal! $70 to Chicago? I mean, how could you possibly get to go to a big city with such budget right? Hence the application form...and guess what? we had to write 3 short paragraphs for the application..sounds like a test only..sigh..But I think I winked it and now..hopefully I'm one of the 38pax..including Eugene and Diego..why go to a trip without friends right? I wonder who else applied? I hope there'll be many people that I know on the trip or I could always make new friends..the more the merrier right? I can't wait to go to a city..I'm just city-life-deprieved right now..no one understands this feeling, but I really do miss the life in the city. It's just not the same. I may not look like your typical city girl, but one thing is for sure, till you really get to know me in the city, don't tell me I'm not suitable for the city life. Looks may be decieving sometimes... =p

Note: I have no idea what I'm updating this for? Just felt like doing so, hence a crappy blogpost.

♥happiness♥

Thank God for everything HE had blessed me with! I am jumping with joy. I'm just so happy right now..Firstly, I thought I flung my history test but I made an 88% and with bonus credits, I'll still be an A..then last week, I'd been cramming for my B.Law test, which took place yesterday, and I had tons of assignment to do..I was sleep deprieved and my brain was just filled with B.Law..now that I know my current score, I can breathe a relief..my GPA score is finally back on track..I'm so happy..yeah~~~

ok..back to assignments..toodles~

childhood repetition XD

Wonder why this pic is up on my blog today? haha..It's a hilarious story! I didn't realize how small sized I really am until.....Sunday Night...when returning from ISCA Family Dinner.

As usual, I went there for dinner and had a great time! then, when it was time to go, it was Candy, Yoko and I at the back seat and Yoo Jin in front..but, it's not as simple as you think coz' the back seat would only fit 2 person as Lucas's baby seat was there. haha..you wonder how 3 of us manage to fit ourselves into the back seat huh?

guess what happened next???

"Maybe Sherrie can sit in Lucas's chair since she's so small.." "ya, ya..sherrie can fit in.." that was exactly what happened..sherrie fits into Lucas's chair comfortably and yet still have space to move on the seat! I felt like a kid again! *not really =p * I didn't realize how small I was till I realize I could actually fit into a baby car seat? man, that got to mean something huh? It was just hilarious, thinking about it..wait till I tell my mom...she's gonna freak out! =p

Girls' Night Out

Yesterday Night was our Girls' Night Out.. Being tired of cafeteria food and facing endless piles of books, we decided to head down to town and have some fun..just a lil'..So, Bethany wanted to have dinner at Steakhouse but it was packed when we got there. Hence, change of plans to an elegant Italian restaurant-Noodles. When we arrived, we were told to wait for approx. 15-20min for our seats..then 15 min passed, everyone who came in before and after us have been seated. We were starving! Suzannah was irritated and went to ask the waitress. Later, we were seated and served by a waiter named Colin. We ordered and talked and conteng the table.. *blek* Elizabeth and I shared Cesar Salad and Shrimp Alfredo..it was delicious. The interior design of the restaurant was just so beautiful. We had fun and oh..Bethany managed to convinced Caroline to write her cellphone number down on the table coz' they thought the waiter was cute! =p Then, we covered it up the tips and hoped that he'll call her! haha.. It was hilarious coz' Caroline kept checking her cellphone..

Caroline, Bethany, Elizabeth, Suzannah & I

Suzannah & I
Elizabeth, Suzannah & I

Then, we headed to the new theather and watch 'Rendition'. It's about terrorism and tortures and how the CIA tried to get info by torture..It was a good movie except the tortures gross me out. I felt so pity for the guy..Here's a clip of the trailer..

Downside of life

***I feel HORRIBLE ***

I hate myself for not being able to run as fast as I could..as far as I could..but I know, it's my fault. I haven't been working out or training for the past 2 years. I should run more often to get back my stamina and speed.

***

This evening, Diego, Stefan, Shino and I went running around campus..down Dickson Street to Maple St, then all the way back to Yocum. I thought it would be easy but I was wrong..when the cool air started blowing in my face, I had a hard time breathing properly. My head was pain and dizzy..I need the warmth air!!! I miss the warmth of the air I feel everytime I ran..It was so cold and I was trying to keep up with them. But the coldness doesn't seem to bother any of them. Maybe it's just me. Maybe because I'm always under the hot sun. Maybe I just need to get use to the coolness here instead of walking around in jacket. Maybe, just maybe. However, one thing is for sure, I need to start working out again. I'm so out of shape. I need to get fit again. I need to go running and swimming every week. I'll try my best to accomplish this before winter comes and I freeze to death..haha..I hope my friends won't think I'm such a lousy person...I just hope so..hoping and wishing upon the stars..

I have 4 exams this week..one today and 3 more to go! I need to study but yet I'm here..I'm just too tired to study but I need to..I need motivation..I need my friends being around me, encouraging me and helping me everytime I surrender to my feelings..everytime I feel like giving up just because I feel like doing it..I miss you all from A-Levels!!! I miss the time we studied together in the library. I miss the time we play around and just hang out after studying..I miss the time we spent at the A-Levels office, trying to get our info right..trying to get tips from our lecturers..I miss...People here are more self-orientated I guess..I miss those little things my friends and I used to do and talk about.. This is how I look like..and I need to study..*sigh* I pray that God will bring me through all these exams this week..I'm tired..
