Thank You

As I am typing in this entry, I am currently on my bed, still in my uniform, sticky and smelly, and typing out all of the thoughts I had gathered today. 

So, I did some reflection when I was stuck in the jam for 1 whole hour. I mean, what more can you do in the car right? Besides, my phone died so I guess it was a pretty boring ride home.. Anyways, I thought through many things that happened today and I dare say that I am eternally grateful and blessed by the people around me. Okay, maybe saying that I am grateful and blessed is an understatement.. Anyhoo, let me tell you why!

The junior prefects organised the Prefects' Farewell for all the Form 3 and 5 prefects to appreciate all the seniors' hard work throughout these two years. It was held at Sunway Putra Hotel, just 2 stations away from our school. As we journeyed to the place, I was just thinking how time actually passed by so quickly. Just three years ago, I was a junior prefect and here I am, on my way to my very own last Prefects' Farewell! Where did all those three years go?! It was just as if it was yesterday I got elected as a prefect. Long story short, the farewell was great and it was indeed a memorable one. 

On the way home, I was in the car opening up the presents I got from my little juniors and at that instant, I felt really touched by the effort they had put in into these small yet thoughtful gifts. Reading their notes just made me feel like I have achieved my goal in my whole prefect journey, and that was to inspire and motivate them. I'm a really bubbly person (not bragging or anything (:), so I guess brightening up their days during duties was already satisfying enough. I wouldn't say that I was the best prefect (because obviously the rest out there were A plus), but I can say that I did my very best. I also felt a little guilty for not putting in a little effort into the gifts and notes because I was too caught up with the heavy workload, but I'll definitely make it up to them. I was thinking of bringing them out for lunch after SPM, whaddya think girls? (:

Next thing that touched my heart deeply! My vice captain bought me a farewell gift. I did not expect it at all because normally during our farewells, we exchange gifts between the seniors and juniors. Buying gifts for your "co-workers" were not so "normal" in our farewells. She attached the gift with a really sweet note and I was so happy by just reading the first sentence, "Thank you for being my friend in prefects." That led me to always keep in mind that we should all be friendly to everyone around us, regardless of their age, gender, personalities etc.

Last thing I felt really grateful for. I was craving for these raisin biscuits I used to indulge in when I was little and I told this person about it. She straight away told me that she would buy them and bring it to school the next day. True enough, she kept to her word and bought the biscuits! To top that off, she bought an extra box of different biscuits. Okay, you might be thinking right now, "What?! They're just biscuits..", but it's actually these little things that I'm truly thankful for. 

All these people that are placed in my life are truly God's blessings. I'm so thankful for the Lord for putting them into my life, making me realise that I should always be humble and look out for the people around me. Showing them the love that they should deserve, and also to care for them at all times. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and got something out of it! Cheers!

Just a thought

I'm here to talk about relationships.

Firstly, all I have to say is that I'm not against it at all. I find relationships so beautiful.. The special bond between two beings is just indescribable. The affection towards each other is definitely perfect. What more can I say? Love is created by our God Almighty. We can only love because He first loved us. As it is stated in the book of 1 John 4:19 "We love because He first loved". I would usually have this happy feeling in me whenever I see a couple smiling, laughing, tickling, hugging, or even making fun of each other with the most ridiculous comments. This is something trivial yet so beautiful about a relationship.

However, there is this tiny little thing that gets to me sometimes. I tend to come across girls or even guys posting pictures of the messages sent to one another on social media. I mean, if that particular message was spread all over the Internet, doesn't that mean one's relationship is not so private after all? Yes, I agree, a relationship is supposed to be public and all. What I don't understand at all is actually just why would someone want to show the whole world the sweet/cheesy/personal message that was actually meant for that only one person to see. I just don't get it.

Please bear this in mind, I am not against any of these. Perhaps I find it a little annoying, because I personally feel that these kind of things should not be shared to anyone else especially on the internet because who knows? Something might happen.. Bad or good? I have no idea too.


See you around! :)

My weekend

This weekend was actually one of the most unforgettable weekend I have ever had. Our last paper ended on Thursday and the following day was Prefects' Camp! Frankly speaking, I was legit not excited for camp at all. Why? Well, basically this year was a tad bit different. The prefectorial board decided to make a few changes, and that was to cancel the normal tradition of prefects' camp. The prefects usually went for jungle trekking, hiking, or even caving during every single camp for many years. However, the whole system changed and they invited guest speakers to conduct the entire camp. I was definitely annoyed when I heard about the change.. I mean, who wouldn't like going all scaredy-cat during jungle trekking at night, or even catching the beautiful and magnificent sunset during our hike?

However,  I must say, throughout this whole camp, I was absolutely wrong. I actually learnt something! The speakers were terrific and they emphasised on leadership A LOT. Something that all the prefects desperately needed. I wouldn't go on explaining what did I learn but let me just say this, all the prefects got the passion lit up once again :) I also throughly enjoyed the bond the seniors had with one another. These are the people I hang out with during break and lunch every single day. I'm not saying all of them are like my super close friends, but they're just really fun people to be around with and that's all that matters, right? :)

 My very crazy roommates that I surprisingly enjoy going all retarded with??!!

Although this camp was a whole lot different compared to the previous camps I have attended, I definitely enjoyed this camp as well! My final camp ended on a good note :)

Came back after 3 days to my home sweet home. I was so happy to see my fam bam! Being separated from them felt like forever!! I decided to relax for awhile and start on my best friend's birthday card! His birthday is on Tuesday and I had to do it today in order to give it to him tmr since our holidays are starting on Tuesday. So here's the card I made! This is actually my very first time doing all these kind of artsy stuffs. I mean, I normally make cards and all for my friends but this is actually the first time I'm doing a doodle! 

See you around! :)

The First!

Mid terms are officially over. However, I can't say that my studying routine would end now too.. SPM is just around the corner and I'm freaking out!! :( Don't even mention about SPM, our trials are basically in less than 4 months! That means we only have 3 months of mastering our form 4 and form 5 work. That is one heck of a heavy workload?! Pull yourself together, Char. You can do this!

My goal for the upcoming trials is getting straight A+! Why so? Well, basically my grandma promised to take me along with her on a London and Paris trip!! You should have seen my reaction when she told me that... First of all, I am eternally grateful (even though I have not even achieved my goal hehe) that I am being given this AMAZING opportunity. My parents have always been telling me that if I would want to travel around the world, I have to work my butt off in the future in order to pay for my own trips and all.. So basically this was like a big surprise considering the fact that I've never travelled to these kind of places.. The only countries I've been to are Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Mind me, I'm not saying that I'm not grateful for visiting these countries. All I'm trying to say is that when I visited those places, I was really really young and I could not remember a single thing I did there (well except for Ocean Park in HK)! So to me, if I was given the chance to travel around London and Paris which is actually my dream ever since I was a young girl, you have no idea how much I would treasure this trip!!

All I can say now is that I should start working my butt off for trials! Time shall not be wasted :)

So beautiful.

Anywayssss, last weekend, I was given an amazing opportunity to catch the special screening of The Fault In Our Stars, or in short, #FIOS. Hahaha. I have been a fan of this book ever since last year? I can't really remember. Anyhoo, I won the contest hosted by Churp Churp through Jane Chuck! Basically, she posted a short video of Ed Sheeran's music video on Instagram and we were asked to comment what was our most favourite romantic quote/scenes/places. I was like, "MAN I NEED TO WIN THIS SPECIAL SCREENING I CAN'T POSSIBLY WAIT FOR THE SCREENING IN SEPTEMBER I HAVE TRIALS AND MY PARENTS WOUD OBVIOUSLY NOT LET ME STEP OUT OF THE HOUSE TO WATCH A MOVIE GAHHHH". So, I decided to give it a try and commented my favourite place and quote! We were told to leave our email in the comments as well so it would be easier for her to contact those who she has picked!!

And guess what?! I GOT AN EMAIL FROM JANE CHUCK! The possibilities of me winning the contest was so low but I was indeed estatic to have received that email from her!!!! I was screaming so loud and decided to call my best friends.... Sadly, none of them picked up :/ I had no idea who to bring for the screening since it was a pair thing.. I knew one of my CG mates, Caitlyn was a big fan of FIOS so I decided to bring her along!!

The movie was soooo beautiful. All I can say is that Shailene and Ansel's relationship was an A plus. The bond they had together was so real and different compared to all the other movies. Caitlyn and I were crying so much! Yes, we are very emotional people :3

I really wouldn't mind watching FIOS for another 2321939598 times because it was like the best movie I have ever watched, hands down.

See you around! :)
