i was trying not to blog till this wknd but since ying swan and darren asked me to update (refer to tagboard, ying swan's gone mad), i shall obey them and blog.... haha!!! bear in mind that this post is full of whining so u're probably better off not reading it.... and it's really long coz i tend to cramp a lot of things in one post since i have a limit.....

i hate today.... 105 practical test was just a nightmare.. i really wanted to cry.... haha!!! reallyyyy!!! melissa wanted to cry for me as well ok!!! the course outline didn't say anything about fitness level testing procedures.. only said stuff about resistance training exercise and how we must know the correct techniques and know how to demonstrate it to a novice client and explain it in a non-technical manner.... the first part of the test was alright.. had to demonstrate a pulldown.. mel had to do bench press.... our demonstration and explanations was good... but we stuffed up in the amount of reps that shld be done for muscular endurace coz it was in the THEORY NOTES.. this is a PRACTICAL TEST..... the outline stated "you will be asked several questions which will be related to what you have done in practical classes"..... urghh!!!

then second part, she had to deal with the medicine ball... she was lucky coz before that, someone had the same question and told us what she said and she got it right... as for me..... i got asked to explain the whole testing procedure of an aerobic fitness testing using the stationary bike and it has to be in a non-technical manner so a novice would understand me......*starts cursing the lecturer coz she didn't mention anything about that in the course outline for the practical test* it memang stated "this piece of assessment will require you to instruct a novice client through a pre-determined number of RESISTANCE TRAINING EXERCISES".... how can she ask stuff that wasn't mentioned in the outline? if she want to ask those kinda stuff, at least mention it in the outline so we would have an idea of what we should know.... so unfair!!!! 10% gone just like that for me.... *sigh* i need to do well in my assignment.. 15%.. due on friday...late night for me tmrw night....

after the practical test, continued with the current lab.. learnt about plyometric exercises.. no weights involved.. it's quite tiring but fun...cld hv much more fun if it weren't for the major screw up in the practical test.....my body is aching AGAIN! just recovered frm the wknd and now..bluekk.... tmrw hv netball from 4-5.... and maybe 5-6 if no one using the court... at least tmrw will be a better day.... it better be!!!!! hope i don't screw up in my 5% lab quiz.. every % is PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSS.... i'm so sleepy now.. but need to study for it.. stayed up till 2am last night writing a stupid psych essay that's worth 10%.... eleanor stayed till 2.30 so she's worst than me... we were both multi-tasking.. msn-ing while writing the stupid essay..

the whole essay is stupid... i only like my first paragraph... title of essay: What is a mentally healthy person?

In the cartoon Tarzan, he swings from trees to trees, walks with both his hands and feet, is he mentally healthy? Yes. But what if you see someone right now, swinging from trees to trees along Symonds St, would he be considered as mentally healthy? No. To determine whether a person is mentally healthy, we must look in both their overall emotional and psychological condition. Occasionally a mentally healthy person may display characteristics of a mentally unstable person such as depression but yet they are still considered to be mentally healthy. To me, a mentally healthy person is someone who’s happy, lives a good life and pleasant to be around with.

Like my opening sentence?? TARZAN!! probably get marked down from it but i need to entertain myself marr.... heeheee..syiok sendiri again...

i've only got 4 more post left.. i've got 4 papers to sit...

8th june- biosci 107

Shermayne's Theory:
"If you had a bad day, don't go singing a sad song just to turn it around. Coz u'll make other ppl's day bad coz u'll probably suck. Just keep smiling. The next day will be better." This is yet to be proven...haha!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your week!!!!!!

My blog is too wordy these days... here you go...

teeeheeee!!!! so innocent!!!

happy birthday yi wen!

#5 (halfway thru my limit of 10 posts!)

ehe.. yingswan just made me realized i would be playing netball 4 days in a row if i go for netball practice tmrw. Friday-Monday!! kinda crazy, should be studying instead. but playing is so much more fun than studying.. DOH!!!! body is kinda aching, even my butt is aching-very stiff...haha! after 2mrw, will hv 3 days rest before the next practice...heehee!!

I think I better start being a loner and go to library instead of hanging out in my one hour break every monday, tues,thurs and fri. just two more weeks!! two more weeks of hardwork!! followed by 3 weeks of shitting out all the information that i crammed in my poor lil brain. I can do it!! I have to!!! Go shermayne GO!! You can do it!! bluekk, cheering for myself, syiok sendiri.... haha!!

learnt to play touch today. more like just throwing the ball. it's quite fun actually. don't need to worry bout any stepping and u can just run with the ball. Hug the ball! hug the ball!! haha!! i'm still having my ball phobia for volleyball. still dodging it instead of trying to save it. bluekk!!! i'm such a coward. afraid to get injuries that's why. i never injured myself in my whole life and i don't want that to happen. just those occassional bruises, never ever sprained anything, dislocated anything. wait.. i actually injured myself A LOT when i was really young. but that was before playing sports.

had stitches on my forehead coz i bang into a wall when i was really young, twisted my wrist coz i fell frm monkey bar, twisted my arm coz my cousin was trying to feed me holding my hand and i tried to run away, got slammed on my index finger by a door....

that's it.. well, it's enough for me! don't want anything more to happen to me. i guess that's why i chose swimming. it's the safest sport. u can't really hurt urself. ok lar.. i did bang my head a couple of times on the wall frm swimming backstroke but that's it. as for taekwondo, well, all i get was bruises, that's it... no injury that would stop me from doing anything.

that's all for now.. smile and have a great week and happy studying!!! happy birthday to yi wen!!!!

what a day!

2 more weeks till exams, not liking it at all. if only i can skip the whole month of june. i wld be darn happy... anyhuuzzzz.......

Dear Diary,

friday:
ooo! this was yesterday... super eventful i tell u....frm tamaki campus, walked to mcd's with melissa for mc.nuggets...then on the way back, dropped by at kfc to get popcorn chicken.. man we were really pigs!! after that, had psych..... it was so funny in there..thank goodness i decided not to wag it... couldn't stop laughing most of the time.... we were just making jokes at what the lecturer says.. turned it into dirty jokes.. lolxx!! man we were so high!!! guess it was the chicken ay!!

after that, went to library to print out some questionnaire required for the 105 assignment.. at least can say i've started.... it's kinda hard to find norms for a touch player and to write an exercise programme for a touch player when i haven't played touch in my whole life.. how am i suppose to know what freaking muscles wld be used?? damn mel! y do u hv to play touch? haha..she must be cursing me why i hv to choose netball coz she can't find norms fr mine as well...heeahahahaha.... after the photocopying, rushed to the city coz had to pick audrey, yean and henry up to go windmill road for netball... haha!! so rajin right? i was thinking to myself, it better pay off on saturday man!! wld be so gutted if i kept on missing shots on saturday.... practiced till 4.30.. me and yean one team, audrey and henry one team.. we lost 6 to 10.. not bad larr ok.. we are both shorter than them...hahaha!! excuses excuses.... audrey's bf came for a lil while to give us some tips as well on how to defend them....was really good... that's why can get 6 larr..if not i think it'll be 0-10...haha!! left at 4.30 coz henry had to rush home...so three of us went to queen st to have juice..yummy!! parked at the free parking behind the engineering building.. went over the curb...oops!!! my bad!!! but yea, got to find a parking there.. then there was this dude that couldn't start his car so we helped him....

anyhuuuzzz..juice was real good..very refreshing...had a berry sublime this time.. so yumm i tell u!!!! after that, yean and i walked back to the uni to meet yingswan then only go to the car...audrey went home after juice.... when we walked back to the car, i started the car and start moving it lar..duh!! then yean was like:"is ur car meant to sound like this?".... it sounded kinda weird to me also.... so i went down and check............. OH NO!!!! front tyre punctured!! aiyooo..... flat to the ground...far out!!!! i got into a panic mode...hw can this happen?? everything today was going so well.. now i hv to face a flat tyre....ishhhh!! so yea, got out the spare tyre and tried to change it... i'm basically hopeless..nv change a flat tyre in my whole life.. thank goodness yean was there.... i was just walking around the car and OMG!!!!!!! the back tyre was also flat!!!! shit man!!!! i felt sooooo hopeless...i dun hv two freaking spare tyres man! yean started calling here and there to get help..... as for me, my brother didn't answer his freaking phone, parents also didn't answer their phone, house phone no one picked up..urghh!!! i was like...man!! this sucks SO much... spoil my day only... thank goodness her friend has the same kind of car so managed to get another spare tyre.. but he had to drive all the way frm meadowlands.... so thankful! we were there for almost two hours... luckily it wasn't freezing....went to wellesley student apartment after that to hang arnd puili's place....when i was driving there, it just felt so weird...coz the spare tyres are smaller.... and yea, guess i'm still in shock.. not like i got into any accident but i was just so piss at myself for going over the curb.. i think that was the cause of it... it must be!! orelse how can i get flat tyres just like that? at puili's place, my mind still wasn't at ease.. was just thinking abt the ride home the next day... hv to drive on the motorway with that car alone!!!! what if something happen to me? ohh, also had to give ppl rides to laserstrike later on... decided to call my brother nd see if he's still at uni.. and he was!! he was still at ccm so i got him to change car with me.. got the odyssey frm him... he had a few friends with him so if anything happen, he wld be fine.. hehehe.... thanks koko!!! the next challenge was to parallel park the odyssey.. yingswan came down with me to help me...hahaha!!! thank ying swan! i suck at parallel parking.. and odyssey is just huge.. to me larr.... felt a bit better by having the odyssey instead of the mirage... no need to worry abt the ride to laserstrike or the ride home the next day.... at 10, went for laserstrike...filled the car up to the max... 7 ppl.. i was driving so slow..guess i was still in shock abt the whole tyre thing..i'm traumatised!! haha!! not that dramatic larrr....well, everyone got there in one piece...so i guess it was alright....

didn't really have the mood to go and play at first but the girls were all like so hyped up wanting to beat the guys and started strategizing.. so i just join in.. and it got me all hyped up as well...hehehe... so yea....i had fun in the end.... but at the back of my mind, i was still thinking abt the annoying tyres... coz i know i will have to go to the tyre shop during the week and get it change or repair...and mom and dad will definitely start lecturing me to go driver slower next time, don't go over anymore curbs bla bla bla coz it will spoil the alignment of the car as well..bla bla bla... yea, those thoughts were there the whole night....but it didn't stop me frm having fun lar..... first two round, we lost....3rd round, the girls won.... so happy!!! then the 4th round, decided to split up and play with no strategy.....ehehehe...it was fun....and won as well.. haha!

went back arnd one something.. meant to stay a night at yingswan's but i really didn't hv the mood to drive all the way to northshore.... thank goodness puili let us crash at her place for the night...felt kinda bad coz it was so last minute and well, she can't really say no right?

slept at 3...freezing my arse off the whole night coz the window was open and the sleeping bag was quite thin...woke up at 7.45 to drive my car to the engineering place again to park...ying swan went with me. frm there, we walked to queen st and had mcd breakfast....i hd a kiwi big breakfast.. tummy was all satisfied and happy after that... bought breakfast for puili, suping and celest coz felt bad for crashing at their place.... that's the least we could do to show our appreciation... thanksss!!!!!

went to rec centre at 12.. time to see if all those practices helped.... it better!!! not just coz of self satisfaction but also coz i don't want to make it feel as if i have wasted audrey's time.. all the time she spent for giving me extra practices during the weekdays... so how did it go? well, my shooting improved for sure (so perasan, but i really think it did! can't be too confident... maybe i was just lucky today again.. maybe it was the mcd's breakfast) but i still can't do the catch-the -ball-nd-spread-legs-wide stunt (action name created by yingswan...hahahaha!!!) audrey was playing GA for the opposing team and i kept on see her doing it.... i guess part of me didn't dare to do it coz i was afraid i will be so un-coordinated and end up in a really awkward position instead...haha! honest!! i'm a real gumbie.. super un-coordinated...

ok larr.. i think i shall stop here.... i cld go on and tell u the rest of my day but nahh... u've had enough boredom.... tmrw got netball again... hehe...monday going to go practice with audrey and yean again....but before that i've to go see if i can fix the tyres after psych at 1.30...shld be able to make it back to city in time...5-6....

happy anniversary and happy early mother's day!

Happy Anniversary Papa and Mummy!!

going for japanese tonight for their anniversary dinner.. and just so you know, YES, my brother and I get to tag along! Well, they always take us out during their anniversary anyway.. we celebrate it as a whole family. kinda weird i suppose coz usually anniversary is meant to be just husband and wife. I guess they just love us too much!! i love you too mum nd dad!!! u see, without them, i wouldn't have existed!! both of them are equally important. i wouldn't want a different dad nor would i want a different mom. if either one is different, i would look different, my brother will look different or i might end up not having a brother!!! i remembered when we were really young, we used to write happy annniversary cards to them. it used to go something like this:

Happy Anniversary Papa and Mummy!! Thanks for being the greatest mummy and daddy in the whole wide world. We love you very very very very x100000000000000 much. Thanks for taking care of us and scolding us when we are naughty. Love, Khay Shern and Sher Mayne.

heeheee.. i think to my brother and i, their anniversary is like Parent's Day. ha-ha!

And yea.. they have two anniversaries a year! haha!! i guess it's just another better reason to go out and celebrate. the other one is february the 4th. the feb one is the day they registered. today is the day where they have those big wedding ceremony thingy. quite far apart i reckon... feb-may.. hmmnn..ohh wellzz, my family's special:)

I'm going to wish my mum Happy Early Mother's Day today!!! Won't have time to blog on sunday. Will be out from 10-5. blehhh!!! Feel kinda bad but i'm still going to wake up early and make her mother's day breakfast. probably wake up at 8am and have breakfast at 9.

What's on the menu? All I know is her favourite ice coffee(need to go buy vanilla ice cream tmrw!) and yea.. my brother will be doing the main stuff i suppose.. he better!!! coz if i were to do it, it'll end up being pancakes wrapped with ice cream and maple syrup.... she will have a super sweet breakfast...haha!!! got her pj's for mother's day present last yr... was too lazy to make a card.. at least she's wearing the pj's nearly every night!!! very worth it!!!! this yr, i made her a....... hmmn.. i dno what it's called also.... i'll just put the picture up....

don't u think it's so pretty? so kiddy-ish..so cute!!!! all the little hearts with smiley faces and it's shinyyyy!!!! oooo!!!! haha! praising my own art... self praise is no praise.. someone praise me!! nahh.. joking larr.. i know my art skills suck...but it's the thought that counts.... and it's filled with L.O.V.E. !!! hope mom loves it and hope she hangs it up somewhere.. gna do the final touch later which is screwing in a picture hook...

now... just an update for this week... ermm.. it's super cold nd super wet... time really flies.. exercise prescription assignment is due in 3 wks and i hvnt started nd most ppl are like halfway thru... too lazy!!! but but.. i got 20/20 for my psych lab report!!! that's 10% for me thank you... and 8% out of 10% for my exercise prescription test... i'm a freak in sportsci nw.. haha!! i dun wna know my anatomy marks.. lolxx!! nd yesterday, went for lunch with yingswan, yin, wei en.. then later go to rec centre with yin to practice netball shooting...yingswan didn't want to come in coz it's $6.50 for her... hehehe... later audrey came and taught me how to shoot.... she's really good...made me more confident in shooting.. thanks so much audrey!! sheng and henry joined in after that to play defence...puili came for a lil while but had to go for classes.... played for 2 hrs... was meant to be for 1 but no one came for the courts...hehe... felt really satisfied with yesterday's practice... hope i can still remember hw to shoot on sunday!! lets just hope tmrw's not gna rain so can go to windmill rd and shoot some balls before going to yin's place....

ok, gna take a nap now.. dinner later and foam party after that! gna b my first time.. same goes for caris....shuckss!! i dun feel like going now coz it's FREEEZINGGGGGGG nd i'm gna FREEZE my arse off!!! and....................................... i can't dance, i'm like a freaking stick!

Today's Pearl's bday by the way.. Happy 15th Birthday Pearl!!!!

first week back and i'm happy..

#2

first week back after the easter break.... it's been pretty good apart frm the crashing of my laptop... well, it's all good now... installed everything back all by myself!!! well, a wee bit help from my brother.... felt so bad disturbing him coz he was playing his games...lolxx!! took a long time figuring out why my laptop cldnt detect the usb hardware... i mean, i downloaded some sort of thingy called usbehsci.sys or smth like that so the usb can be detected...but still cannot... restart my computer like so many times but still can't be detected.... got kinda pissed off.. then i tried once more, unplugging the usb then restart, then plug it back.. then voila!!! man!!! that simple...urgh!! felt so dumb!!! now i know.. now i know.... hehehe....

so that's one good thing.. my laptop is all sweeeettt!!! gna format it again once i downloaded all the songs i want and my brother want.. another good thing is that i have tamaki friends to eat lunch with and hang out when there's no lessons now... we fooled arnd, studied for our anatomy test together, wagged exercise presciption lecture just to get an extra hour of study..wow! first time wagging.. felt so bad.. but i wld have just lost 7 marks just like that if it weren't for that extra hour of study....on the bus, not sitting alone anymore.... and this grp is just huge... so when one person is absent, there wld still be others to talk to.. so it's all good.....eleanor even asked me to go to medschool day before the test to study anatomy together.. we did 3 hrs of study straight... and for the first time in uni, i laughed till i hd a tummy ache.. haven't had that for ages!!! felt so happy.. guess my uni life was just miserable all this while apart from the wknds.. i was just looking forward to wknds...now, i can look forward to both.. if this coming week is good as well, then it means i'm all sweet with my social life... hehe.... i sound like a loser wanting friends...gosh!

another good thing is that i'm not shopping anymore!! don't really have the time to shop during wknds and thus, don't even think about it! wknds is just filled with sports which makes me happy and not guilty...and umsa ppl are just so friendly.... that 6 bucks of petrol to travel to uni and back is worth it.... it makes me feel that i did not waste my weekend.. tho i didn't get much work done this wknd.. hey, i had to fix my laptop ok! i'll do work next wknd... hehehe...

right now, i feel a bit guilty for not studying(i'll study later to get rid of the guilt). but overall, i feel really lucky to hv this super happy feeling... screw u ppl who thinks once u get a bf/gf, u have everything in the world.... whatever!! they're not that great.. that's what i think.. what am i saying? i nvr had one... but bluekkkk...shermayne's always right.. haha!!

i mean, maybe u can feel the happiest when u're with them but u'll feel the saddest when things don't work out.. whereas the presence of friends will always make u happy all the time... and when u lose one, u still hv heaps!!!! u might be sad, but not the saddest! haha!! i rmbr i said when i'm 18, then only i'll start looking for one... when i was young, mum always tell me i can only get into a relationship when i get into uni.. hmmn. i've been listening to her all the while..... bluekk.. right now, i'm not even thinking of getting one yet... not even looking..haha!!! sorry peiyun, i dun wna go fishing...lolxx!!!! to me, prince charming will come one day... he might just be on his way but got sesated or decided to stop and enjoy the scenery and take the scenic route. not shortcut... haha!!!

i know most ppl wont' agee with my last two paragraphs... but hey, that's just the way i think about this.... sorry if i offended anyone of u.. didn't mean to... have a great week ahead!!!

all gone... so sad....

#1

i was actually waiting till the end of this week to blog so i will have more stuff to say but well, screw that!! i'm so..... i dno...angry? sad? i dno.... i think more like sad.. the kind of sad when u lose something that have a sentimental value and u will never get it back....FOREVER!!!!! *sob* here's how it goes...

this evening after my shower, i decided to go check my emails before i study. turned on my laptop, everything was working fine. was signing onto msn and then suddenly, the power just turned off. well, i guess it was coz i tripped over the wire and the plug to the power got disconnected. no harm done, just have to turn the the power back on and i'm good to go. BUT... NO! when i turned it back on, it came to a screen saying that my files have been damaged or smth like that larrr... lots of words that's all i know. so i asked my brother to help me. he tried everything and said i have no choice, need to format my computer. the moment i heard FORMAT.. i was like..... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all my files gone!! i didn't back them up and he tried to recover them but couldn't coz couldn't even get windows xp to load. we tried REPAIR windows but also cannot. so, no choice but to format my computer. how can this happen? virus? don't think so coz i didn't download anything apart from team america from bittorrent and that was like a week ago. and there wasn't any annoying pop ups or anything weird going on. haihhh...so sad.... all my files.. gone!!

my music files- it's ok larr. .i can download them again from limewire, most likely to get virus but can back the files up and format the comp again.
tv series LOST and movies- can get them from shiun, still having his harddrive with me, hehe..
so it's ok.
book-marked sites- nvm larr.. can slowly search for them again
cambridge past papers where some of my money comes from there by printing them and selling them- ermm.. i shall find another way to get money.. i think i still hv the cd anyway.. hiding somewhere

ok, all those i'm fine with them being gone. i will have to download windows media player, divx player, real player, msn msgr and all those again but i'm used to doing that, so i'm fine with that lar....

now, here's the part where i'm sad.....

all my past assignments, essays written when i was in macleans.. all gone!! ok, u might be thinking, why the heck do i keep them? such a weirdo.. ok i am a weirdo but well, for memories sake.. u know, it's quite funny reading them over again... there was my 4th form science fair project and i find it really cute. plus i took a lot of time writting my essays, especially the english essays in 6th form. all the satire writings. ok larr.. not that bad i suppose, coz i have them somewhere in my blog i think. but i don't think i have the one i wrote on romance publish anywhere. it's quite dodgy but very funny. that essay made the whole class laughed and even the teacher. and i threw away the copy that i printed out. haihhhh....

now, here's the part where i'm really really sad, the kind of sad that i explained earlier on....
all my photos are gone!!! ALL of them!! i did not back them up... i have the ball photos on yahoo so i guess i can live with that eventho they're small... but but... all the family photos that we took since 2002 when we came to nz are gone!! all the travelling photos... all gone!!! i guess we can start going back to all those places again and take photos but.. it's different... *sigh* all the funny poses the whole family did, all the lovely brother and sister photos, mum and dad photos.... all gone... *hits self on head for deleting them from the harddrive*... what i have left wld be those in my geocities website... tiny tiny ones.... and then there's the childhood photos... that's not too bad i suppose coz i took them from the video my dad recorded when we were young and i still have the cd.. video better than pictures so that's alright.

then there's the college photos.. all the funny photos i took during the last term at macleans... we were just taking as much as we can coz it's our last year of college life and want to remember it. all the crazy poses we did and made ourselves looked psycho. those were photos that i treasured a lot. those were the photos where in 10 yrs time u look back at them and will just start cracking up. ok, i have a few of them in my msn space but they are small, i want the original huge ones!!!! omg!! and then there's the photos from my 18th bday!! those are gone too!!! and the photos i took during my trips back in msia....man!! those are precious!!!! the pictures i took during climbing mt.k! those are gone too!!!! NO!!! nvm lar.. that one can go climb again and take again..hehe... but but. 18th bday!!! i won't be 18 anymore.... bugger!!

and then there's the folder where all my files on my geocities website are stored at... i haven't been updating that website for ages...2 yrs already perhaps but every single time i format my computer, i always back them up as well tho i kno i won't touch them anymore....never have the heart to delete them.. guess it's coz it's like what kept me occupied during my first 2 yrs in nz where i'm seriously bored and hated nz so much!

well, i guess i have to learn to let go.. all i have now would just be memories in my head... not from photos anymore... at least not all is lost.. i still have them on my msn space, some at yahoo, some at geocities....it's not the best but i'm thankful that i still have some of them. i suppose sooner or later this day will come, the day where everything in ur precious laptop just can't be retrieved... happened to so many ppl i know, never thought it wld happen to me... and now i'm making such a big deal... typing such a long post.

maybe this year calls for some changes eh? since i leave college, i also have to leave those photos behind i suppose.... start a new chapter, a new collection... i'm still young, got so many more great events to capture... i learnt my lesson... at the end of every year, i shall burn the photos and files into a cd... that way, if this ever happened again, i'm all good!!!

ok, time to study for my practical test.. it's tmrw!! that was another reason why i planned not to blog till end of this week... so i won't waste time... my laptop really cannot use till end of this week also.. hehehe.. need to install so many programmes... grrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Smile and Be Happy!
Have a Great Week!!!
BYE!!!!!
