i just don't get it. why is everyone so worked up over one letter? the infamous letter. is it not true that the content inside is real? or is it the fact, that everyone wishes to deny the fact, that those "items" mentioned are a problem we're all facing OR THAT THERE ARE IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOTS that cause everyone inconvience, are in self denial? We put our books at the back, for convience purposes, not to cause us inconvience. And may i note that not just our class alone, but by all classes face the same problems? are we not just voicing it out? you think the letter is harsh? get your facts right, writing a letter like that is rude ? then how abt taking our books without askin for permission? check the dictionary! ain't nobody's fault you can't understand it.

a ride of a lifetime. sweet sixteen~



urgh! i'm a little silly naive girl, who totally trust my friends and believe what they tell me. well, it only occured to me now. WHY? WHY? WHY? sigh..



my day started like "i'm so sorry i forgot your b'day" or so everyone claimed, except frm my family memebers of course, i recieved loads of ang baos =). and i really believed it. it didn't really sound cynical to me, so i guess it didn't bother me. cos' even i forgot too.. haha :P argh! is it really odd that i got stressed over add math? =/
mr k bought me the boOk "the purpose driven life" haha, and it's funny, i just got it yesterday too, while i was at the bookstore. oh well, that was a surprise! =) but it's the thought tt counts.



I have something to declare ! I LOVE THE UMFs! FOREVER and EVER and EVER! what a lovely surprise they gave me today. at first i was pretty pissed with claris for err.. having "uninvited guest" and bugging me to open the door, and she claims "they asked for food, but they didn't come, i'm totally gonna give them a trashing" can you imagine how i felt?! when i refused to go down to "entertain" them, my doorbell rang! and pop! out of no where came 3 UFMs, with a birthday cake. hahaa.. i was dumbfound. lie 1: i was told that they baked the b'day cake. and being a silly naive cheryl! i believed them! and was touched beyond words. ahem...


okay, so they brought me down to the bbq pit. and gave me a box of ice cream! yummmmy! king's mint choc chip. and everyone started diggin' in . and guess what ? surprise: haha.. the ice cream came with something else too. they stuffed in a jennifer g string into the ice cream tub. haha... it smells like nice now! and shaun tied it to my neck and took a pic. =/



Next. they brought a drink. but without cups?? lolZz.. supposedly J&W sparkling grape juice in a champagne look a like bottle, that says non-alcoholic on the label. there was an evil conspircy brewing there!! Plot: shake the bottle, decork it, and let it burst at me! poor me !! and i just bathed! anyway lucky for me, their plan back fired ;) they couldn't decork it. haha.. and come to think of it, I'm actually the one who decorked it. as their plan backfired, claris poured some of it on me. ?!?! for claris: baka! i just bathed you know!



blah blah~ they said they waited soooo long for me to come down, and i was so stubborn, as to not to (while i was still ignorant) and they decided to punish me by stuffing my mouth with a whole mouthful of cheesestick. eeeeeeeeeeeeeee... yucks. so salty. MEAN EVIL AND NASTY!

sigh. when we started eating the cake, there was a layer of white cream. lie 2: they told me it was durain after i ate it ? and guess what ? the stupid cheryl believed again. I HATE DURAINS ! I'VE NEVER EATEN ONE, AND WILL NEVER EAT ONE! get tt in your head okay? gross.. puke? hmm...



lie 3: Ms N helped baked the wonderful cake, and they instigated me to call her and thank her. !!! lol.. luckily she took it well, and thought of it as a game. and i used the CIP letters as an excuse.. hehe...



Anyway, i had a great time! thanX. the best b'day bash =) and a million apologies, for makin you guys wait so long. but we're even now okay? after what you all did to me. causing me emotional stress. i'll get even next time =) mwahahaha *evil laugh*



sigh! i got a purple pencil bOx today. i'm just so purple now. purple pencil bOx, purple bag, purple glasses. now ppl will really think i'm pro west spring! I AM NOT! just to make things clear =/ i think i ought to change my bag, to the one my mummy gave me, at least it's blue!



b'day wish: no just for me myself, but for everyone, A1s for the prelims and O's. don't just do you're best, but also be the best ;) don't think you can, know you can!


lots of love,
cheer.

yo. i forgot to mention. i'm dropping chinese. [although i got a c5]. that enough for me i guess. but anyway i decided to drop cos i really knew i put in my best, [my personal best], chinese just ain't some ppl's language. and no miracle is gonna happen in a few months, so yeah, takin it again would kinda be wastin' my time.

shoutX: I HATE HARPPIE, I HATE HARPPIE! how can he call himself an educator?

our church is having a launch this sunday. sooo coool... haha. anyway the revamp is kinda like our own service plus food and games. something like that. anyway a new chapter is always a new beginning. so we're going to have a new name! "the OC" the one community. taken from eph 4:4-6. a lovely passage.

4 there is one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called into one hope of your calling; 5 one lord, one faith, one baptism. 6 one god and father above all, and through all, and in you all.

well, anyway, i'm kinda lookin forward to it. and poor fio is sick. get well soon darling. =)

i ain't got anything to say today. just that life is still a bore. anyway just thought i might share something from a friend.

FAITH

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, the Almighty. He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and.....

Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil
in this world?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student:Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smell your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith.and that is the problem science has.
(student paused for a while to think)

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.) Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it was, you would be able to make
darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man.

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smell it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir! The link between man and God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving and alive.
