Wisdom

Instead of a lead teacher, today I became: 

1. Parent-Child translator/communicator/ middle person

2. Drama director

3. Vocal teacher

4. Disciplinarian

5. Christian youth leader

6. Justifier

The morning started with hecticness when I had to meet a Malaysian father with a difficult son. Malaysian father has very high hopes for the school and insists on sending his son to the school. I had to lay out expectations after seeing the child again. It's gonna be another difficult season with a new child coming in because he wasn't socially accepted in his previous school. Father said he wants his child to change in terms of character. There you go, I'm definitely being put here not to change (only) on academics but also characters.

Well, I can't complain because I really think a child should grow holistically. A child with a brain doesn't mean always have a heart. 

Let's look at today as a whole: 

Class is quite controllable today. Apart of having practices on drama and singing, I was glad that the kids were quite settle when I came into the class at 1 pm. The dream class. Although I would think that they are quite settle, some are still slacking a lot and I had to keep my eyes on them most of the time. I am that teacher who can't stand children slacking. 

After a long half of the day, I had to see two girls who one of them caught smoking in a restaurant nearby. Both are Christians. But that didn't hit me when I was meeting with them. Firstly, it seemed that they didn't think it was quite serious. I totally understand because some of my friends used to "try" a puff or two out of curiosity when we were younger. So I was actually struggling to voice my anger in them. Both girls are considered one of the good students in school. Things just happen out of curiosity and because of low will-power. 

What actually was supposed to be a "see the lead teacher for scolding session" became a counselling session. A Christian Youth Counselling session. I went on by saying how I had strong will-power and didn't let the peers to influence me. I told them about how God loves them by sending a whistle-blower to us. Otherwise, they would have caught the addiction in smoking. I told them about how the devil has won the battle when she took the first puff and related the whole situation to Adam and Eve.

This was really unintentional and it took us almost an hour. 

It's so important to pray for words of Wisdom from God in order to touch of these young souls. 

God, I really pray for clarity, strength and wisdom every day. Words are so important. 

The girl teared a few times which I hope the words from Him hit her into realisation. Really. 

Thank you God for another tough day. 

back... to the backstage?

lol.

So i'm back here typing out something! Yays? Well, no one exactly gonna read what I'm posting anyway (except for the person who urged me to reopen my blog, yes. you. Joel Tay :p)

I'm back as an unofficial graduate and as a young working adult who works her sweat off with really low pay, cause we, auditors live like that. or maybe, just the Malaysian workers. or maybe, Sabahan workers. tsks.

Work has been good to me lately as I learnt through the days. I learnt how to be braver to talk to clients, learnt how to get things myself and learnt how....to photocopy! -.- Basically everytime I use the client's photocopy machine, it's always out of paper. So I had to walked down and up the stairs just to get papers. Pretty much working as the client's staff now. lol.

Anyways.....


i just wanna do a count down...

EEEELEVEN DAYS left!


you'll know what i'm talking about soon :p

Unexpected

When you think you did okay *do the hand moves* for your individual assignment, then your lecturer proved you wrong by saying "Shereen, you did a great job in your individual assignment" "You really did good".

I stunned and nothing comes out from my mouth except "Ohh... But... but... it was really hard... I didn't really have time to do it...prop...."

Then the lecturer cut in - "You really did a good job... especially your Conclusion. I like how you conclude the whole thing. It shows that you really understand the whole concept" "Yeah, so you should expect your coursework marks now and start calculating to aim for finals :)"

I really should stop feeling doubtful and start thinking/reacting fast to compliments. This was the 2nd time I've got complimented by the same lecturer. Although I know my heart was screaming "Thank You" and how much I really wanted to blurt it out in a very sincere way, I just tend to hold-back for God knows why. Sigh.

My 3 coursemates did pretty good too! That's what the lecturer said :)

NOTE TO SELF: Gotta write a thank you card to her! before the semester ends.

Anyways, I'm really thankful for these few days and I want to transfer these energy to Joel at the moment. He's struggling with his core subject lecturer and the subject itself. I really want to his smiles again, without the stressful look. =/

So my last class of the semester just ended. It's not only for this semester, but also for the whole 2011. And I know I won't be having class during this day, next year. I wished I could have cherish more of these days before I graduate. Oh wells. The classes have ended, so that means my semester is almost reaching the end. How do I want it to end - really depends on how I do in the exams. Aside from God, Family, Joel and Friends, Academics is what I should be focusing on and aim for because this is one of the gift that He gave to me.

I shall pray for those who are gonna have their exams and also their health. And make sure they win their battle on stress and pressure. :)

Misunderstandings

Thinking too much doesn't mean you're good. It keeps you from enjoying the current experiences.
I hope the paranoid me fades slowly as I grow with Him.

Both of us forgot that our relationship has turned 3 months old yesterday.
We were too caught up with our own activities and thoughts (i.e. zoning out).
Happy 3 Months Anniversary Dear Joel.

I'm sorry for being a jealous girlfriend. Thanks for believing in me. <3

Gratitude

I've posted this in my Facebook status, 

You have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in peasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise you, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set you always before me. Because you are at my right hand, I will not be shaken.Thank you Heaven Daddy :) -Psalm 16:5-8

Taking FB as a place to voice out positive thoughts instead of posting irrelevant stuffs such as nasty quotes or pictures. I think the modern generations have created humiliation among themselves that they don't realise until they see other people doing the same thing. At the end of the day, they started commenting on what the other has done but not themselves. Hmm. Hypocrites? Egoisms? You name it.

Anyways, 

I am here to post about how grateful am I for Him making a great day for me! :)

Finally the lecturer announced best group presentation and she praised our group for being the best. I'm pretty surprised with Ching Huey too! who just got chosen as the best presenter. I'm really happy cause my group has done so well in giving good impressions to the lecturers although we faced difficulties along the way. I want to thank God for giving me the strength to handle the stress and pressure during the assignment period. I want to thank Him for also providing me the patience when it comes to dealing with groupmates and people around me during the hectic period. There were definitely people who got hurt by me and hurt me as well but at the end of the day, I choose to forgive and forget like how He forgave us from the sins that we have committed into in the pasts. 

Secondly, I want to thank God for sending me such wonderful people into my life. The first friend that I've met in Uni and we became good friend for almost 2 years. Although the friendship idled in the middle of the period, we managed to save it back till today :) Emily for being such a great friend although I sometimes do get frustrated with what she do, be it in classes or during other activities. I still love her the way she is. She treated me in a very unexpected way. I've been having issues in insignificance towards people around me especially during early this year but Emily has given much attention on me (I feel sorry if I did not appreciate most of the time because I took it for granted).  She always put me into conversations with others and unknowingly, we know each other really well that amazes people around us. Thank you God for sending her to me and being the best companion when I need someone to talk to. I hope you will reveal yourself to her and changes her life with the good news from you :)

Last but not least, I always want to thank God for sending Joel to me. He amazes me all the time and I feel rather comfortable being with him. Even though there'll be rocky days between us, I hope that both of us will grow stronger with You as well as with each other so that the relationship will last and work smoothly. Joel is an amazing person who I can really spend my time with. It's also because I'm in love with him. We don't talk much, but we love each others' company. I hope our feelings grow as we aged. Thank you Heaven Daddy for making the relationship happen.


Love,

Shereen

Expectations

It's hard the expectations' one has for you.
But what matters most is the process of meeting the expectations.

Nevertheless, I still love your imperfections.
It's definitely one of the challenges in life, but when you learned to love, the feeling is overwhelming :)

Thank you love.
Thank you Heaven Daddy for putting us next to each other during this period of time.
I wish it'll lasts <3

Inspirations

Talked to mom when I was supposed to study in the library (was during break time :) heh)

We talked about Michelle Kwan, Kim YuNa and Kimora Lee.

Kim Yuna has always been my inspiration but when I saw Michelle Kwan. Gosh. She's the most elegant lady I've ever seen! Kimora Lee is the most perfect lady in the world. She has her own style, brain and capacity to work in whatever conditions! Such a corporate woman!

Kimora and her girls

Michelle Kwan (She's just so natural!)

Kim YuNa with her skates. Loving her pure innocent appearance

Thus, these 3 beautiful ladies are my inspirations in order for me to achieve my goals in life.

When others can, you can too! heh.

p/s : you don't need to change to impress someone or show off that you can do what the others can't. Just be yourself and believe in who you actually are. Live life the most comfortable way you could get before you regret. You'll feel ashame when you think back and see yourself being a puppet trying so hard to get everyone around you to like you.

Germany vs. Spain

I only had 2 and a half hours to sleep before my morning class. Thank goodness it was Quantity Methods Class otherwise I'll be fishing during lectures. haha.

The match this morning was saddening. I wanted to support Spain because Germany has won the World Cup before. But when I was watching the match, I was favouring Germany all the time! (I think it was because the Spanish were so proud of themselves) AND it was sad to actually KNOW the result of the match before it begins! Damn Octopus!

Anyway, Germany had done their very best on the field. They were being defensive since the first half. I guess they got tired after that. Plus, the Spanish played really well this time. I saw some improvements since the Paraguay's match. Casillas and Neuer were awesome goalkeepers! Oh wells, I'm not up to that par to comment on how well they played. lol.

Anyways, of all the German players... I personally admire Mesut Ozil

I have no idea why maybe it was because of his innocent expressions lol!

Next Germany's match will be this coming Saturday. They're playing against Uruguay! I can't wait to watch :)

Anyways, enough with football. Gotta catch up some sleep.

Till then,

Sher Wong

I wish I'm somewhere that makes me happy.

Sher Wong

p/s : I feel so weak.

Reality

Sometimes I have this feeling that I'm pursuing the wrong career, taking the wrong course and staying at the wrong side of the world. Tsks.

Instead, I should be taking Korean language and become a manager in the kpop industry. Life would be so much easier if you do things you have passion for right?

Nevertheless, I know most Kpop lovers will think the same though. So there'll be hell lot of competitors out there and I know I am not the best of the best of a Kpop lover due to some restrictions >.<. So yeah... thats what pulled me back to Earth and reminded me that I am an Accounting student. lol.

But but but...but I am seriously hooked! I need some medications and determination to keep me survive in the other side of the world. I need to study. sigh

I Need A Girl

Taeyang's new single from his newly released album, Solar.

I Need A Girl featuring GDragon (:D :D :D :D) with Sandara Park starring as TY's girl!

I was so happy that this song was out this morning at 12AM!

I was so excited that I got to listen to GD's voice again!

It wasn't that nice to some people who listened to it once but if you listen to it a few times... it'll be really addictive! I highly recommend this to you all!

Plus, GD is so hawt in the video I nearly fainted! haha! I wished he has more parts in the video though. Ah... Oh wells. Enjoy people! :)

****

If you guys wonder what kind of KPop I'm into...

I have a different taste of KPop compare to the majority. I usually go for rapping and some R&B.

You can say anything about Bigbang, 2ne1 and Untouchable. I like it when they have nice beats as well as good lyrics! So yeah, what I'm trying to deliver is that do not be surprised when I post up videos on rapping korean songs especially GD's! :D

Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die

Wanna know what's the title referring to? You'll know :)

The family came over for Awards' Presentation. They claimed themselves for being too free back home so they came to see my sis and I. lol

Sis and I went to KL to meet them during the weekends and spent a night at their hotel.

We went to Aunt Desi's house for some warm gathering and also to celebrate Ryan's birthday advance by 2 days.

Fresh veggies!

Baked/Roasted Chicken! :D

OM NOM NOMMMM at Aunt Desi's beautiful mini garden! :)

Aunt Desi signature cheese cake as Ryan's Birthday Cake! I would so love to eat more of this but my tummy betrayed me! >:( hmph!

Birthday Boy and I! Happy 3rd Birthday handsome! :)

The ALL-time favorites of the family : DURIANS!

Loving the food so much! I haven't been eating these food for months! OMNOMNOMNOM!

Then shopped, ate Yo! Sushi for lunch (they have really cute designs and colorful plates!), watched Toy Story 3 with sis after sending the family off to the airport.

Toy Story 3 was amazing! The story line was good (for me) and loving Andy's voice *melts* luckily its animated. xP

Thanks to my beloved Patricia Wong! I've finally owned the whole BIGBANG Big Show 2010 Live Concert Album now! I'm listening to them singing and imagining their performances on stage!wheeeee~ I was so excited when they sang "Let Me Hear Your Voice" and "Haru Haru" Live in their concert! I love GD's solo on Heartbreaker! He sounded so good even though its Live! Good Job boys! I'm counting days till October when the DVD will be out! and I'm waiting for their official comeback in late August this year! It's gonna be my best birthday gift in a while! :)

Kim YuNa

She's gorgeous!

Someone posted her images in Facebook. I checked and I had to post some here.

Kim Yu Na's a Korean figure skater.

She was rated as the Person of the Year in 2008 by Korea Times. How honourable is that?

She gave me inspirations to work harder. She's just my age and she has gone so far!

Nothing is impossible if you have the heart to do it.

Football Fever?

I never expect myself writing this. lol.

I've watched one of the matches last night Eugene and Justin. It was Slovokia vs. New Zealand. It wasn't an exciting match but I managed to spend the whole 90mins siting there watching with the guys. I have to admit... the last minute goal by the New Zealanders were funny and exciting! haha.

And that was how I realised football aren't that bad after all. The team spirit has to be there! I used to think that these guys who run across the field with a ball are robots. I didn't bother to wonder what kind of people they are until last night when I saw one of them shot a goal. The images painted out on their faces showed how happy they were and I had goosebumps watching their happy faces! Then memories ran through my mind... I remember the time when my school drama team has won from district level to state level. I broke into tears of happiness because we were under some stress and we did our best no matter what the result is gonna be. Then we went for national level. We worked closer and harder as a team and showed our best in Langkawi. It was the spirit we had that made us won the whole competition. And again, i broke into tears. (coincidentally, the final was on my birthday.. so yeah. it was the best birthday gift ever). We jumped and screamed and let out every bits of grudge we had when we were announced as the winner!

Okay back to football, last night match reminded me of so many things that I nearly forget. The competitive environment (besides studies), the working in a team spirit and also the sad, joy and stress that spread across the whole team. I miss them so so much!

I have to say... football is awesome! especially when ur favourite team is playing! I'm gonna try catching South Korea's match next week! wheeeee~ So who's up for it? ;)

****

Btw, I've read this article on Readers' Digest.

It's called the Homeless FC. Try checking it out. The story is about 3 homeless normal people in Hong Kong struggled to make ends meet. Then they were helped by one of the social worker and they formed a football team. They call themself Dawn Team :) Every player has their stories behind but on the field... they only have ONE goal. Read it! Their stories are inspiring and its not ONLY about football... its about life too. How amazing that is? relate football to life :)

Soon after becoming homeless,
I started wandering the streets whenever
I couldn't sleep. Late at night, there aren't
many people. It's strangely liberating.

Soon after becoming homeless, I joined a
football team. There are all kinds of people
on this team. Most used to be homeless.
Many still are.

Most of the players want to turn their lives
around. But we never thought that
turning over a new leaf would take us to such
a faraway place.

Lung, Dawn Team 2006

Goober & Miscommunication

In Environment Economics class today, Mr Song (I must admit, the cutest guy lecturer ever - in terms of size and the way he talks!) brought a new "Goober" (or some may call it as Smucker) today!
He was telling us about different types of company legal statuses, and he gave an example of Private Limited Company which is Smucker owned by only family members. Most of us may know what's Goober but not Smucker Lol. So we were a little confused that time. Then he said he'll buy one jar for us and try in the class! Today, I didn't remember we were supposed to bring our own spoon. He expected no one will bring, he brought his own spoon for spreading and also a packet of cream crackers for us to eat with! So nice of him! I was the first to "try" it! Haha (as if i never try before). Before he passed to me, I saw the jar and I went like "OHHHHHH!"... then he joked "Oh!? okay no need to give edi...*put back into his "Go Green" bag* " lol! The whole class were soo excited and i just burst their bubble. lol. Luckily he was just kidding, then the whole class passed the jar around during his lecture. We were happy :)

Today, we learnt about Hierarchies in different types of companies. Narrowed it down to miscommunication, we had some activities in class which made us really awake and he showed us this.

*****
The Boss of a company initiates a mail to invite his staff to witness an Eclipse and how his message is passed by employees at different levels in the hierarchy and finally how it reaches to the staff.

Mail from CEO to Manager :
Today at 11 o’clock there will be a total eclipse of the sun. This is when the sun disappears behind the moon for two minutes. As this is something that cannot be seen every day, time will be allowed for employees to view the eclipse in the parking lot. Staff should meet in the lot at ten to eleven, when I will deliver a short speech introducing the eclipse, and giving some background information. Safety goggles will be made available at a small cost.

Mail from Manager to Department Head :
Today at ten to eleven, all staff should meet in the car park. This will be followed by a total eclipse of the sun, which will appear for two minutes. For a moderate cost, this will be made safe with goggles. The CEO will deliver a short speech beforehand to give us all some information. This not something that can be seen everyday.

Mail from Dept. Head to Floor Manager :
The CEO will today deliver a short speech to make the sun disappear for two minutes in the form of an eclipse. This is something that cannot be seen every day, so staff will meet in the car park at ten or eleven. This will be safe, if you pay a moderate cost.

Mail from Floor Manager to Supervisor :
Ten or eleven staff are to go to the car park, where the CEO will eclipse the sun for two minutes. This doesn’t happen every day. It will be safe, and as usual it will cost you.

Mail from Supervisor to Staff :
Some staff will go to the car park today to see the CEO disappear. It is a pity, this doesn’t happen everyday.

lol! enjoy!

The Rs! Haha

I had a great chat with Fui Yin yesterday & I decided to post the conversation up! haha


Featuring Daniel Saw & his beloved veggie! xD

Back again :)

So I haven't been blogging for a long time. Its just weird that suddenly I have the urge to write something here. I have so much stuffs to list in here but I think I shall be a bit more straight-to-the-point. lol.

I had 2 months of semester break and I had so much fun hanging out with friends and family back in KK. Now, back to reality. Assignments, morning classes, lectures and if possible, club activities! I've joined Social Board and I'm the secretary for Orientation Night. It sounds fun but I have to be really prepared for piling up work! Oh well, just wanna gain some experience and contribute something. Close friends should know that I'm a person who cannot not contribute anything in college. lol. But this time I'm trying to control and prevent myself from committing into too many events. Extreme prior to study! :)

I had the best time with the Nottingham clan last weekend. We traveled to places around KL. We started with Dim Sum at Cheras (the place where nostalgia kicked in because I remember going there when I was little kid with my big Wong family. sigh. i miss all of them now)

I'm having 5 subjects in this sem. Finals' on April. Late April. This time, the classes are more to the theory side. No more calculations except Stats class which I find it really fun during computer lab sessions!

I just finished half of Business Law tutorial questions which only due this Friday. And I'm having Skills for Accountants class (Cherish's class) soon. I'll talk more about the subjects I'm taking later cos I don't wanna make this post to be really nerdy. lol.

Before I sign off, I should introduce my new all-time favorite series! Glee! Read about it!


I just can't get the hang of it! I finished 1st Season. I'm waiting for 2nd Season! No twisted dramas, only pure fun and humor! While waiting, I listen to their whole OST! Big thanks to Eugene! :)

Gotta go!

Journals? Ledgers? Invoices? Statements? whaaaat?

Here are some Accounting Jokes for Accounting Students to release some stress!

A Tax inspector, a VAT(Value Added Tax) inspector and an Accountant were in the urinal performing their morning constitutional before a meeting. The Tax Inspector finishes first and walks over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeds to dry his hands very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried. Turning to the VAT Inspector and the Accountant, he say "Tax Inspectors are trained to be extremely thorough". The VAT Inspector is second and finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single towel and makes sure that he dries every drop of water from his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turns and says "VAT Inspectors are not only are we trained to be extremely thorough but we are also trained to be extremely efficient". The Accountant finishes and walks straight for the door. "Accountants learn not to piss on their hands."

An accountant, banker and solicitor were called in to see an important client

"I am dying and i want to take it all with me" he said

You will each take one of these envelopes containing £1m and put it

in my coffin just before they screw down the lid.

They all agreed to comply.

The client died and at the funeral they all put their envelopes in the coffin and the man was duly buried.

At the wake in the pub the three found themselves in a corner

The banker said "As we're on our own I have a confession to make

Old Barard was a skinflint who never said thank you for all i did for him so before I put the envelope in I took out £10,000 .

"I'm glad you said that "said the solicitor " I agree he was a mean old *** and I took £20,000 out to cover my pain and under recoveries on scale"

They looked at the accountant who smiled and said "I am surprised at you both I put a cheque in for the full amount"
