Sherene-Tastic!

Studying the whole day is tiring.

I was doing my Chemistry p4, and I felt really bored. So I turned to Facebook to cure the boredom.

Then I saw this :



That is my further maths and chemistry classmate, Shum. One very naughty fellow who gave REAL kangaroo-balls key-chains to his friends as a souvenier from Australia -.-

LOL Shum.

So I commented.

Not long after, ye old Facebook sent me a notification from Shum who be scribblin' somethin on me plank arr...



I was like, WTH!!!!

What the heck was going through his mind when he wrote that on my wall?!?!

Then he sent me a link, which opened to



Urban dictionary!

Haha ok, now I get it.

Ok, so according to Urban Dictionary, this is what my name means :

Owh, I underlined my favourite descriptions. The rest, is up to you to judge ;)





"can be your worst nightmare if you piss her off."

Yea, and you know it!!

Don't Be Cruel

Its over.

Well, Physics p4 is over. I am now halfway through my A2.

Four more papers to go and then I am home free.

How did I do in my Physics just now?

Bad.

I feel so stupid.

Not enough time to answer all questions properly.

But to tell you the truth, even if you gave me more time, I would not have been able to answer the questions.

I came out of the exam hall feeling as though I am the only one on Earth that does not know how to do the paper.

You all say that you find it tough too.

Liars.

We know how smart you all are. I know that deep down, you guys do, to a certain extend, feel confident about how you did.

Well, on the bright side, thats one less thing to worry about.

Random quirkies :

I found a fellow brother, ANTON! Hahaha

Yay for you Shum for using a further math method to answer a question in the math exam just now. Lolz

My fellow Sheep are in Bukit Tinggi now for CouZ camp. I wish I was there with them :(

"The Hurtful Things I Tell Myself". Someone please make it stop :(

Just two weeks left.

I have no idea if I want time to come by faster so that all of this to be over soon, or if I want time to slowly creep by so that I can have more time to study so that I would not screw up again.

Dear CIE, please don't be cruel :(

One Thing

Honestly, I do not feel good about this coming Friday.

At the rate that I am going, and with my AS results that I decided to carry forward, anyone would be squirming if they were me.

It is just amazing that I can still sleep at night despite all this.

If it were to be one subject that caused me to be unable to fly to USA, that subject would be none other that Physics.



Yes, I am very scared.

And no, I am not confident when it comes to Physics

:'(

Whoa!

Mix the following:

1. 10,000 christians from various denominations from all over the Klang Valley, and some from other parts of the nation

2. Stadium Melawati

3. A global event

4. A nation that needs to be prayed for

5. History was made

What do you get?

You get the Global Day of Prayer 2010 that was held in Stadium Melawati, where for the first time in history, all the churches in the Klang Valley gathered together to pray for our land, that is the land of Malaysia!

This is the first time I joined such an event. Look at all the people!











We had the usual praise and worship, preaching, testimonies, declarations, and of course, PRAYERS FOR THE COUNTRY.

The best part of the event was, seeing our very own Ps Chew from SIB KL go up on stage to close the event.

HE WAS SO SUPER HYPER!!

"WHOOOOAAAA"

NONE of us from SIB KL have seen him so super hyped up until he was basically shouting till he almost lost his voice. And the excitement that he had!

I quote again, "WHOA!!!"







The next GDOP will be some time around May next year.

Its going to be bigger. A whole lot bigger.

Whoa!

Insomnia

I hate it when I cannot fall asleep at night. I tend to get even more stressed out when I cannot get myself to fall asleep.

That was what happened to me last night.

I went to bed at 11.30pm, but by 12pm I still could not sleep.

I tossed and turned, listened to my ipod and tried to fall asleep.

I did, eventually. But I was not really sleeping well. I woke up again, and I was still very alert and not sleepy at all.

Then the tossing continued.

It was so damn hot last night.

Then I slept a little, until an sms woke me up at 3am. Could not sleep even though it was already 3.30am. I then proceeded to "scold" the person that woke me up -.-

But I did fall asleep, and woke up at 7am with a heavy head.

Stress. I was even more stressed because I could not fall asleep.

I hate it when that happens.

All the more since my very first A2 paper was at 9am the next morning.

Further Maths!

It was the paper that required a whole lot of quick thinking. And with my lack of sleep last night, I was worried that my condition would affect my performance in the exam.

But praise God, the headache left after breakfast, and then it was game mode ON, further maths nerd style!

During the exam, I was so super blegh!

This is how I was during the exam :

*recheck the questions I just did*

OMG WHAT THE *%#@ WERE YOU THINKING WHY DID YOU WRITE THAT!!!!!! OWH *&%$@%&^%$%$#^%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pulls my face*

Owh, false alarm..........

It happened many times! My heart just stop beating when it happens. Then I would say to myself, OMG Sherene you have GOT to stop doing that!!!

-.-

I answered one questions during the last 1 minute. So simple yet I could not get it in the first place. I felt so stupid.

I quickly wrote the solution as fast as I could, and when I was done, the examiner took the paper away, and I was still stunned at what just happened -.-

On the plus side, I do not have to deal with further maths anymore :D

In this post, I shall formerly bid furthers maths adieu.

Goodbye further pure maths.



And the topics:


Goodbye summation of series. You were a fun introduction into further maths.


Goodbye polynomials. You were fun to solve, sometimes...


Goodbye i-forgot-what-you-are-called-asymptotes-thingy. You were really time consuming :(


Goodbye polar coordinates. I really hated your sin and cos questions...


Goodbye mathematical induction. You were one of my favourites :D


Goodbye differentiation. You were one of the easiest!


Goodbye integration. There were so many parts to you it gave me a headache to even begin to start revising you!


Goodbye differential equations. I prefered you over the one in pure maths!


Goodbye complex numbers. You were tricky, but I finally got you!


Goodbye linear space. I never really understood you...


Goodbye matrices. I always thought that you were the same as linear space...


Goodbye vectors. You were so confusing at first, but you slowly grew on me :)

Hence, ends the chapter of further pure maths.

But further maths is not over. I still have further mechanics and further stats next month.

Did those pictures of maths give you a fright? Well frankly, its nothing compared to further mechanics and further stats. They are the most awful of all the awful horrors in A-Levels!

Hahaha so yea. I am glad paper one is over. I am grateful to Petronas for forcing us to sit for that paper, because we engineering students need all that math knowledge during our times in university!

Tomorrow, mechanics!

The battle continues...

Experiment Butt

I remember the times I had in form 5, right before SPM. We were all so very naughty!

We talked, laughed, and just did everything except studied or paid attention to the teacher in class.

I miss those old times.

I was rummaging through my class' blog, looking for one particular post I posted nearly three years ago about an experiment we cheekily conducted on some of our classmates.

See the title of this post? Yup it was an experiment on butts!

For old times sake, I shall re-post the mind-blasting experiment we did and the amazing conclusions and discovery we made on that day :D

Experiment Butt

Aim : To investigate the relationship between butt size and gap of Suria’s chair and big metal box.
Hypothesis : The smaller the butt size, the easier it is to pass through gap. Size of butt is inversely proportional to the ability to pass through gap (Rise and Fall Law)
Variables : 1. Manipulated – Butt of subject X and Y
2. Responding – Ability to pass through gap
3. Fixed – Size of gap
Apparatus : Ruler, Suria’s chair, big metal box
Materials : Subject X and Y
Technique : Force Subjects to pass through the gaps sideways.

Diagram :



Procedure :
1. Suria’s chair is placed in front of the big metal box that is situated at the back of the class room.
2. The length of the gap between the box and Suria’s chair is measured using a 15cm ruler as shown in the diagram.
3. The length of the gap is 15cm and is kept constant throughout the experiment.
4. Subject X, which has a small butt, is force to pass through the gap.
5. The results are recorded.
6. The experiment is repeated with Subject Y who has a bigger butt than Subject X.
7. Results are then recorded. Both results from both sets of experiments are tabulated and inferences are made based on the results.

Precautions :
1. Do not overfeed the Subjects otherwise butt size will increase and will be unsuitable for experiment.
2. Suria’s chair must not be moved at all times no matter what.
3. An audience is necessary because the more people laugh, the more fun it is.
4. Do not take photo of Subject’s butt as it is considered as pornography to be posted on the internet and it is hazardous towards human eyes to look at people’s butt.

Results :
Experiment (subject) Results
X Can pass through
Y Cannot pass through

Discussion :
Subject X is able to pass through the 15cm gap because X has a smaller butt, so Subject has more space to pass through. Subject Y is unable to pass through the gap because Y has a bigger butt, which inhibits the space that is intentionally prepared for Subject to move through. The size of butt therefore influences the ability to pass through small gaps. This inference is based on the Rise and Fall Law, which was discovered by the Butt Prof. of 5A on 26 July 2007. The Law states that the size of butt is inversely proportional to the ability to pass through small gaps. The bigger the butt size, the lower the ability to pass through small gaps; and the smaller the butt size, the higher the ability to pass through small gaps. This thesis is supported by the formula :
2 times 2semicircle,
half radius times pie equals to ??? diameter ???
eventually equals to size of butt
This formula is formulated by Prof. Ah-Ng AnnAnn from AnnAnn Country.

Conclusion :
Size of butt is inversely proportional to the ability to pass through gaps. Hypothesis accepted.

Extra info and notes :
This experiment was conducted on a pure bored basis. The scientists were supposed to be paying attention in class and do their work quietly, but they felt that the understanding of Fictional Physics and Pure Fun and Laughter was more important. Materials were contributed willingly and no subject was harmed during the entire course of the experiment. Subjects were notified and awared that they were being experimented. All Subjects, scientists and bystanders were insanely laughing their heads off during the experiment. This experiment is Copyright Protected by the Panda/Walrus/Puppy of 5A.

Conducted by : Matahari, Panda, Suria, Taekwando Guy, Ah-Ng AnnAnn and Mr. Kho

Hahaha

Ahh, the silly nonsensical things we did in those days. Priceless :)

The Sign

If we ever meet again, I'll have so much more to say.

SIB KL :)

A church that is :

BIBLE BASED
CHRIST CENTRED
SPIRIT POWERED

No compromising the three!


Where the worship team leads worship, and where the pastors preach!

Home to some of the nicest kids on the block!



Ok this is not a promo on SIB KL.



Last weekend I took quite a few pictures in church, and I just felt like uploading them here :)

There is this nice big SIB KL sign on the fifth floor. You will see it the moment you step out of the lift.

I have always wanted to take pictures of and with that sign. And I finally got the chance to do so! *delighted*

So here goes :D


Yee Shien and I

Jon Jon

Andrew and his erm, signature pose

Chris stylo!

The handsome (sorry, God say cannot lie!) young men of SIB KL! With Aaron and Joel by the side

And last but not least,



Almost two years here.

No regrets whatsoever :)

I'm A Mum :D

Yes people.

I am a mother.

Since Mother's Day is tomorrow, I thought the least I could do was do share my joy with the rest of you :)

I have a son.

A healthy handsome choke baby son.

The apple of my eye (sometimes very rotten apple!)

I decided to name him Jonathan :D

And for his chinese name, Sien Long, because he is a very sien person.

Allow me to introduce to you, Jonathan :



Isn't he precious?

LOL how did this come about?

Well, this weekend, CouZ is organising the Mother's Day celebration in church. Everyone, well almost everyone, in CouZ had their hands on deck to help give out the free goodies for all those precious mums in church.

FREE GOODIES FOR MUMS ONLY!!

You have Crabtree and Evelyn hand lotion, vouchers from Kanebo etc.

All very very expensive goodies.

What more can a mother ask for?

Since this package is for mothers only, I quickly turned to Jon and ask him to be my son so that I can have one too :)

Hey, better than Andrew's idea of hiding some of the goody bags in Christy's car -.-

So from Friday night onwards, I am a mother. But Joe does not know though. Hmm I will have to introduce Jon to him as his son, although I am pretty sure Joe will definitely refuse parenthood of Jon!

My poor son, no daddy :(



Anyway, so isn't SIB KL awesome?

Where else can you get hand lotion that cost the company THOUSANDS of ringgits just to give out to 700+ mothers for free??



We love to bless :)

During service, Pastor Victor asked for all the mothers to stand up so that we can hand out the gifts and pray for them.

It was a very touching moment, including the part when Jon, Chris, Andrew, Joel and a few others went up on stage during worship to say a few lines about their mothers.

Huhu make me sad sad :(

Then when Pastor Victor was praying for the mothers, I saw husbands and children just hugging and holding their mothers/wives close to him.

I lagi sad.

Lastly, there was a photo taking session where mothers can take a polaroid picture with their families. I saw so many happy faces, enjoying themselves together with the mothers.

I even sad.

Why?

Because deep down, even though I do not say it often, I really do miss my mum :(

So yea, dear mother.

Thank you for everything that you have done for me, even though sometimes I do not show that I appreciate it. And I admit that I take you for granted.

But I forget you see, that God has truly blessed me so very much with such a wonderful mother like you.

Thank you for spoiling and pampering me so much. Everything that I want and ask for, you provide. I am so impossible sometimes, I really wonder why you put up with me? I know, its because I am your favourite daughter right? Hehehe

You know that I love you, even though I love to call you a COW (crazy old woman). And yes, I miss your hugs and kisses too :)

I like to tell you, "Haih, what would you do without me???"

But really, what would I do without you??

Love you so so much :)



Happy mothers' day :D

Meatballs Galore!!

Do you come here much, I swear I've seen your face before. Hope you don't see me blush 'cause I can't help but want you more.

Hmm...

Which part about tonight was fun?

The part where I finally stepped out of the house?

The part where I finally got away from those evil Physics books and terrible winding math equations?

The part where I finally had a really nice meal?

The part where I finally managed to satisfy one of my cravings?


IKEA MEATBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The part where albeit he was tired from being stuck in a jam the whole day, he was still willing to take me out for dinner just to unwind a little bit?

The part where he took delight in me confessing to be a terrible photographer compared to him? It just proves that you are a better cam-whore than I am, dear :p

The part where I annoyed him by forcing him to take soooooo many pictures with him again and again?

The part where I tried to act tough and all gangster like, only to completely embarrass myself in front of him and made him laugh even more?

Actually, the fun part was just being able to spend some time and relax with you.

Thanks for making me laugh :)

ps: you need to work on your smile a little bit. that photo of you still cracks me up! i shall use it against you as blackmail >=)

In the mean time, I shall release this :


Mr Dungu-face.. i'm still better looking than you anyway mr. cameraman :p

pps: KAUTSAR ZAMANURI you do not get to call that picture up there "porn picture" because you have given me full approval to upload it without classifying it as "porn picture"

Yummy JCo Doughnuts.....

I'll never be the same if we ever meet again.

I am on the verge of going crazy.

I am so sick and tired of studying!



I cannot take it anymore!!

I cannot concentrate!!

I am so sick of calculating and solving math problems!

I want to go out and play :(

I want to go watch movie :(

I want to watch Ironman 2 but someone wants me to wait till I go back Kuching to watch. Study first.

I want to eat JCo doughnuts.

They are like the best doughnuts in the world!

Sweeter than Big Apples.

AND much much better than Krispy Kreme! Krispy Kreme is way too sweet! Too much sugar! Its like diabetis on a round bun!!! BEWARE WHEN EATING KRISPY KREME ROAR!!!!!!!

I am losing it!!

LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA

I bought a pink pen!

Its pink in colour and so is the ink!

"But I thought you dont' like pink?"

SPOT ON!!

I don't like pink! I just bought it for fun!!

WOOHOO there goes my RM1!!!!

Mmm Secret Recipe's American Brownies....

The 10 Sheep That Conquered

I was functioning on 3 hours worth of sleep yesterday.

I came home Friday night right after CouZ and just crashed on my bed.

CouZ was fun by the way. And I won the ice-breaker of talking AT people hahaha. I did not know I had that much crap in me :p


Sheep United and ChampionSheep United UNITED!!! Now from different cells but we still love each other just as much :)

I woke up at 3.30am on Saturday morning right after Marilyn texted me.

OMG 3.30AM??? WHADDA HECK AND WHY you must be thinking.

I missed my cell friends so much that I could not wait for sunrise to see them :)

Hahaha I love them loads but thats not the reason why. Please lah. I told you guys in the previous post that I love my sleep -.-

10 of us woke up super early in the morning to go on a cell outing, to CLIMB BROGA HILL in Semenyih!!! We had to leave early because we wanted to catch the sunrise at 7am :)

I left Sterling at 4am, made it to the Chew's nest at 4.30am, and we all left at 5am.


Rachel's sleepy face

Piling into the Twin's car

Andrew feasting on his McBreakfast. The first time I went through a McD-Drive Through! So ulu kan!! hahaha

When we arrived at Broga at 6am, it was super dark! Thank you Arsyad for the torchlight. Luckily we had four of them, otherwise we have to "walk by faith, not by sight" lolz.


So dark!

When we got there, the place was already filled with people who had the same idea. So there was minimal risk of us getting lost or robbed.

The climb up was super fun! It was fun helping each other climb all the way to the top, and I was Rachel's "torchlight" hehe.

We managed to reach the first peak at 7am, right before the sun came out. The sky was a beautiful mix of pink, purple and orange. Since it was on top of a hill and was really early in the morning, it was very windy and chilly as well. Just perfect for an early morning climb :)






The sky is Your canvas, God. Looks like pink, orange and purple are Your favourite early morning colours :)

The climb all the way up there was a challenge, but it was doable. This is the only time in my life where being short has its advantage and disadvantage, both at the same time.

ADVANTAGE : I have a lower centre of gravity. So the chances of me losing my stability and falling is very low compared to the rest.

DISADVANTAGE : Some of the steps were really high. Made my climb up even harder!

Despite all that, it was all worth it. The view up there was simply breathtaking. You have to forgive my small little camera that cannot compete with Marilyn and James' Canon DSLR. But I do my best, so bear with me.














We found three pairs of shoes hanging up there!


Not that bad for a compact camera right? Seriously, I cannot even begin to describe to you how beautiful it was. I felt like I was in China! You know, like those kung-fu movies where they are always travelling through the mountains and what not. But really, you have to see it for yourself to truly understand how beautiful it was up there.

There were lalangs, rocks, four peaks, lots of trails and CLEAN FRESH AIR!!


The view of the 2nd peak and its many trails from a rock on the 3rd peak

Splendid weather. Breathtaking view. Wonderful company :)


Jon Lee, Marilyn, Rachel Ang, Chris, Andrew, Rachel Thong and Cissie. Quan and James were next to me when this was taken :)

How often do you get to climb a hill with your fellow sheep who are willing to wake up at 3 in the morning and go through an hours drive to Semenyih, scale the hill that has four peaks and get such a beautiful view of nature in all of God's glory?

Not very often right?

Thus, we took this opportunity to take LOADS of pictures up there!


The happily married cell leader and zone leader :)

ROARING SHEEP!!

Benji and I

His zen moment

The twin monkeys hehe

Us :)

Them monkey boys

Jon-jon!! He melts in the sunlight!!!

Forced to do push ups on a rock on top of a hill!!

While Jon was doing the push ups, there was another group of people that were cheering him on!
Hahaha we give you good publicity Jon!

Btw, Jon, and the twins, Marilyn and Rachel are from Kuching as well! Hehe

And here, a few classic moments aided by the sun :)


This is a really beautiful picture :)

Again, I make you look good Jon hehe

There were so many people enjoying the view up there as well. Kids, old folks, teenagers, young adults, middle aged people, and yes, even a dog!


Super pup!!

Sadly, the fun came to an end, and we had to make our way down :(



I tell you!

The climb UP is so much easier than the climb down! It is a whole lot more challenging, and even more life-threatening!!!!

There were so many times when I almost lost my balance! The track was very very steep! Going downhill is bad for the ankles and knees hmph! Really I tell you! I would rather climb UP somemore than go down!


Broga in all its steepness. No this is not even the steepest part of the hill!!

If only they built like a lift or something to transport people down from the hill. I told Quan to bring banana leaves next time so that we can just slide down the hill hehe.


Took this on the way down for fun. Wanted to play with my macro hehe

Can you believe we were on top of that thing??

When we got back to James' place, we were pretty wiped out. And look at who we found fast asleep on the couch.



We tried whispering into his ear, plopping down onto the couch next to him and he still would not wake up! Haha

All in all, it was a very fun experience. I finally got a breath of clean fresh air here in Selangor. And this trip made us closer to each other :)

Can't wait for the next cell outing!
