For the first time in my life, I finally understood the difference between language and mathematics. Not that I am retarded or what, after so many years of studying,
I still do not know what is the difference between them? Let’s put it this way: I finally understood both their strengths. Language is something to express itself; you are not required to think. However, mathematics required critical thinking but yet it can’t express itself well. I’ve no idea why I start my entry this. Probably 1 of my random thoughts that I want to jot it down. (I am easily amazed by the puny things in life.) of course, there would not people thinking I am nuts wondering about something that is so obvious but exactly how many of us feel this towards the subjects? Or are you like another student ploughing your way thru’ the whole education yrs without anything to think.

Often, exciting thing happen in the end of the week. Cannot blame because I can vaguely remember what happen in the beginning of the week. Anyway, 27/04/06 was AJ sports day. My house was on the losing streak but what most important is that our class is so rah-rah. When we dare to cheer and the rest just stared at us. It reminded me so much of cedar spirit when we just scream and cheer like no one business. Although this is a much smaller scale, at least I could feel the unity within 24/06. That was also the first time in the history that I create a miracle: I actually got a medal for something. I never had that. k? I was really thankful of this chance although the event taken part is not big event. Haha. We also bully xue shuang. Poor her! She’s so easily deceived! After the whole sports day. I decided to go TP MOS BURGER for dinner alone. I saw qian qian (my primary school friend!) and her friends at mos and decided to join them for dinner upon qian qian’s invitation. It great to know new friends and I guess their friends must have thought I am very blur. Haha. Along the way, meet other primary schoolmates but most I do not recognized them just as they do not recognize me. Haha. Oh well. I guess I’ve real bad memory.

Today go tuition for GP again. As usual, I will comment on something I’ve learnt today. Her best friend’s daughter is anorexic, what a shame that the girl is very pretty. That poor girl has low-self esteem. I realize the prettier you are, the lower your self-esteem would be. Therefore my current msn nick is saying I am ugly does not mean I’ve low self-esteem. Each time I mentioned I am ugly, people will go, “jerlyn why do u have such a low self-esteem.” I just want to give a shoutout that people I am fine and in fact I think I have high self-esteem. I am just being truthful to myself. Pretty means pretty, ugly mean ugly. I am so critical of chiobus so why should I be less critical to myself? I am NOT depressed just because of my imperfect looks. Tell you frankly, if I’ve got the power to change my physical appearances, I would not do it. This is so as I am okay with the way I look. Even the pimples and the scars as they are part of me. Without them, they are not Jerlyn. It will not form the compassionate me; it is just aint me la. Moreover, I think of this girl who is quite pretty. Even I’ve to admit it which is not very often. But so what she is pretty? She is superficial, artificial, and not well-liked. At least I do not possess these qualities. At least my name is not smeared. So much on looks today.
Btw, 21/06 pae: I saw Yolanda in SA u at my tuition centre today. The most comical thing is that we did not realize each other’s presence until 2nd half of the lessons. It is pretty amazing to see people you know again. Unfortunately, Yolanda is still very quiet but when the tutor asked her to read out loud, she can speak so much better than me.

Nth much to add on. Just praying that tty can stayover at my house on Sunday!'')!

Another week has passed. Frankly speaking, I can’t remember much on how this week has passed. No idea what I had felt strongly about and wanted to comment on it. So many things has blurred in one thin line.

I shall start on Thursday then, 20/04/06. I had GP tuition in the evening as usual. I enjoy tuition. I’m NOT a mugger. It just that my tuition teacher is always fun and interesting yet at the same time preaching. Sometimes, she is controversial. I began to love English more and more because of her. Anyway, I realize every week topic centralized on BGR. It is quite nice to know everyone’s opinion, especially the guys because I am still so amused by them( yup I know I get amused easily). The topic is on whether guys dare to wear their hearts on their sleeves (e.g. tell their emotions to the girls they like). The response is that ALL the guys said no. I heard someone’s brother even coerced the girl to admit her feelings before admitting his. I think that is very sad and pathetic. I mean come on la. Do you guys expect the girls to wear our hearts on sleeves and being typecast as despos. Sigh. Situations are so tricky. I know guys also want their face value. However, I thought that guys take rejection better than girls( from what I read from newspaper). At the same when the topic was brought up, I feel very mean to these two friends of mine. I feel that there is no progress on their relationship because of me. Not that I come as third party. It is just that I blew the entire issue up. I think now they feel very awkward to each other. I just feel very mean because they must have trust me to tell me their feelings and yet I sort of betrayed them. I do not know. But, anyway, I give the guy thumbs up for his courage which I think many lack of.
I wore my aj U to tuition for lijun to see but she did not come in the end =(!

I did not feel stress for aj family day until Friday. I was more of piss than stress. Anyway, the stress was augmented by anger. However, I am thankful of many people like huiying Yvonne mavis shihui for helping me out with buying of the food. And again to huiying, wanying and huiyan(all the lame jokes…haha) Sophia heem mei Christina kyna for cheering up up when I was piss. I feel that huiying is a great friend and a great leader too. J! I would gladly give up my class leader position for her. It is not that I am unconfident of myself. But I feel that she deserves more than I do. Anyway, I am an ENFJ. I nurture other people and groom their leaderships. Not that hers need to be groomed. If I were to keep insisting on this position, it makes me feel like a dictator. What is the point on being a leader without anyone’s respect? I must say that leadership is an opportunity for one to serve people and not for one’s glory. Hence, I hope that those who want class leader positions to seriously consider this factor. You want to do it for the class or for yourself? I am not trying to give a ‘politically correct’ speech. This is just to sum up how I feel. Moreover, once you are a leader, please do not complain this is a lame job and waste of time. I know people who does that and it irks me. On the whole, I was thankful of this opportunity as a temporary class rep. It gives me many chances to hang out with different groups of people. I think I will just keep sticking to my own clique and not mingled around if not for this.

A simple prayer is so powerful. On Friday night, I prayed before I went to sleep. I was still feeling frustrated then. It is not because of one person; it is the entire event that frustrates me. On Saturday morning, I woke up feeling confident and charged up. I have no idea why I feel this way. This unexplained force. I am thankful of God giving me strength through this period of time. Most importantly, all went well for 24/06 stall. We managed to sell finish everything. This was amazing! =)! Of course, the process is more important than the product. The class did not really bond but when I delegates duties, they will help me out without any complaints. I think I take things for granted and never appreciated this kind of attitude. It was only when I heard this particular class in which different groups of people never do their work, buying food and preparing for them. I heard the class leader worked very hard. I sympathizes her. I know it sucks. It taught me to appreciate 24/06.

After the whole event, I lost my wire extension. It is very expensive and my grandma nearly kills me! So anyone who sees it, please return as I’ve written my name and class on it(thankfully, I did). I am getting worried but somehow reassured(or u call it delusion) that it will be returned? I saw novia. I was surprised she came and looked for me. Gosh. She changed a lot le. Become more chio. Just couldn’t recognize her. The event has ended and went home slept for 4 hrs. I did not know why I am so tired. Not much physical. But the best thing is that I can pon tuition. Haha. Just do not feel like going. =P! Then, tzeyin , emm, gongx and I went out to eat dinner to celebrate shaomin bday. We ate at yoshi. The most important thing is that shaomin is *ahem censored*. I am still a trustworthy friend. Haha. Tzeyin and I began to feel very sad la. What if we never get married? Anyway, it sounds so wrong. Like both of us going to get married.
2 out of the 5 gang is attached liao. I am not in hurry to find a boyfriend but the idea of me remaining single for the rest of my life scares me off. Hopefully, I can accept this notion if not my life will be miserable if I cannot even accept myself. To the people out there, I am not trying to be despo hor. I rather be single than to be in love with the idea of love rather than the person himself. Yup. anw, we ended up taking neosprints after dinner instead of a movie. it was so so so nice and pretty!")!i miss those days tt we hang out together man. really feel that separation pulls us closer.

Anw tt is all. Falling sick tata

IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY
“I think of those days we fight and cry
because we din learn how to appreciate each other then
but now, we are separated
it’s so true that
absence makes the heart grow fonder
it was only yesterday
that I learn to cherish those moments
when we were innocent and sweet
when we stayed bk after sch
laughing and yelling away
it was only yesterday
that we revisited our past
so many hurtful things has come in between these periods of time
it was only yesterday
then I realized separation does us gd.”
Jerlyn.gongx.tty.emm.shaomin.

This poem is wrote by me on impulse. J! Yesterday was emm bday and frankly speaking we were nv that happy b4. just playing at pasir ris park playgrd really tires all of us out.

*please take note that ‘you’ does not refer to anyone in specific

It is amazing how people can blog each and everyday. Is life so packed that they have tales to tell everyday? I am wondering. I guess life does bring different things everyday but still what I read mainly from people who blog everyday is lectures so boring, tutorials piling up etc. Is this what teenager’s life all about? Do I really want to end up feeling this way? I’ve decided that I do not want my life to be this. I do not want to have a nonchalant attitude towards my life. I’ve to be proactive with it. Most importantly, I should stop daydreaming and I extremely hate daydreaming.

You* would probably laugh at me at the age of 17 and here I am confessing that I am still daydreaming. What I feel is that I think many are still daydreaming. This is only my generalization. I am making sweeping statements. However, who never dreamt of a better life? Dreamt of better grades? Dreamt that parents are richer and you could have done more activities? I know this kind of issues many would not dare to admit but right inside of your heart, I do not think you can deny feeling these ways before. I hate daydreams. They are so addictive. It is so nice to live in an utopia; believing that you are a superhero (not that I dreamt of being a superhero). What I am trying to highlight is that a superhero never dies, always triumph and always well-liked. Don’t everyone wish to be like that? That is why I feel daydreams are very addictive. However, I got to wake up. They are not real. They do not form my life. In fact, they are hindering me to have a real taste of life.

Another thing is about boring lectures and tutorials. I heard many complaining. But I am actually enjoying it. I know people who read this are shock. They would probably think is jerlyn going insane? Haha… I am perfectly fine. Aj did not make me a mugger. It just that I feel if you enjoy the process, no matter how painful the process is, you will enjoy it. I mean come on, if there are only play and play and play in this world. Would you not feel bored? I believe in a balance in life. There must be work done and play. I am emphasizing that I am not a mugger! Because of my belief, I recently got into a conflict with myself. This is due to the fact that I cannot stand not being hardworking. Maybe it is just my trait. This is how I am brought to be. Sigh.

I am joining cheerleading. Wow, you might gave me the look of disbelief. I mean come on I do not look like dancer. However, cheerleading is something that I always wanted to dabble with. I am young. I do not want to wait till I am old and I cannot dance anymore. Most importantly, I am scared. Scared of trying out. Scared of not being able to master the dance steps within 2 weeks. Scared that the new friends I am making will not like me. Scared of this. Scared of that. And also the money issue. However, thanks to gongx, she makes me realize how much I want to do it. How much I will regret if I do not do it. That did the trick. I should not care what people thinks of me (not being able to dance). But to pursue what I really want is what matters. I do not wish to be hold back from society expectations’ of a person. Like if you are not the sporty kind and you wish to join a sport but you are scared because of the so many issues that the society dictates you. I often encourage my friends to do things that they never dare to do. Therefore, I should lead an example too right. So here I am, I know many of us are holding back things. Not daring to join anything but instead we should let go and follow our passion. This is somewhere it can take you.

I should be having class outing now with 21/06 pae. but here I am blogging about how I feel about life. I feel that I need a break from crowd. It is one of the moments that I feel I need to reflect on my life. I think it is an extremely long piece. So I shall end here. I hope people can give their comments on my tagboard. ”)!
