Help ! So if you guys n gals could give suggestions it would be nice Thanks !!

P/S: don’t worry I will take in yr comments on a positive note ..pls be honest hehe

The alarm clock rang beside me and I reached out my right hand and switched it to off without even having to open my eyes. My eyelids were so heavy. I passed most of the night tossing and turning as I couldn’t sleep very well because of the heat ( hmm so for those of you who sleep in air-conditioned rooms, well yr really fortunate )and my most hated enemy when I sleep and it comes whizzing and whoozing at my ears or giving me big red bites on my bodies ( hmm hahaha don’t get me wrong ya,,,its just mosquitoes ) However I was so tired because my sleep was disrupted. Anyway I had to wake up. So my next alarm went off at 5.47am…which was 2 mins after the first alarm.

I then forced myself with great effort to get up from my bed and fumbled in the dark for my doorknob then gradually continued fumbling for the toilet door. Finally I hit the toilet light switch and ,” arrrggghhh !! My EYES ! ” I can’t stand light being turned on suddenly. ( Which is a warning to my dear friends when Sarah is sleeping make sure no one switches lights on suddenly as I immediately will awake from my sleep and …erm turn into a lion ?? Hahaha thats for you to go figure ) Anyway I then proceded to enter the bathroom with my eyes close. Haha and believe or not I brushed my teeth today with my eyes close !! Haha then I proceded to take my bath which is my instant wake up call …haha and finally I was awake.

Then I put on my uniform which seems to be getting more uncomfortable everyday and headed for school. I reached shcool early and headed for my classroom. Well this first week of Form 6 was nothing to shout about but I certainly made friends with my classmates. And today nearly all our teachers came to class …and guess what ?? They made me do the thing I hate most. They made us stand one by one to introduce ourselves. I was like , ” NNNOOOO!!!” but I had to anyway. sigh

So after the students in front of me introduced themselves, I got up from my chair and with a quite shaky voice , I said ” Nama saya Sarah Ng ( and bear in mind I made sure I pronounced SA-RAH very clearly and in the right sounding, not SA-RA ) haha and most of the teachers noticed it and said ,” Oh so thats how you pronounce your name ? Not SA-RA ? .” And with a big and cheeky grin I said no, its SA-RAH . Haha and you can imagine, now most of my classmates think I have a glamorous name….as I’m so particular with how its being pronounced….hehe anyway I’m glad the teachers all respectd me and called me SA-RAH

Which indirectly made my day!! I was somehow so happy today. Maybe also cause I got to read the whole day in school ( I’m currently trying to finish the whole book of the Chronicles of Narnia) That has been my entertainment this whole week in school. Well as there was no teaching and no interruption today except for introducing ourselves, so I got to sit quietly in my chair and I read and read. I was really happy as its been a long time since I have been able to sit down and read a nice book of my choice.

I would say I enjoyed myself today and hopefully all goes well. Happy Holidays all those schooling ppl Haha I have the privilage to still say that ……

Its just a thought that I thought I’d blog on. We often don’t know what God actually wants or what he wants us to do. He often puts us through situations that really make us struggle and sometimes even in situations that even we wonder, ” Why God ?? ” I often ask that question but I believe God has an answer for us. And he always has a reason for things to happen. I decided to write on this as I heard a dear friend of mine got robbed and another is ill. However I do believe our prayers will be answered in his time and I still haven’t given up and still put all my trust in God. As I write this post I’m listening to the song ” Where there is faith -by For Him “. Its one of my favourite songs. Especially at the chorus where it says,

Where there is faith

There is a voice calling keep walking

You’re not alone in this world

Where there is faith

There is a peace like a child sleeping hope everlasting

In He who is able to bear every burden to heal every hurt in my heart

It is a wonderful powerful place

Where there is faith

This post is for all my friends that are undergoing hardtimes, where sometimes God does seem very distant , and we may not understand certain things that are happening to us. However like the song says, where there is faith …..Take care and God bless. And I do hope you agree with me. Amen .

Hi all…I’m just posting this post so as to get the attention of anyone interested to take up this subject for STPM. I’m in Lower 6 this year and I will be doing Literature in English outside of school. With help from my former tuition teacher whom I had been taking tuition for the past two years ( I also did Lit for SPM ) and I’m the only one now that wants to do Lit in Eng for STPM and so I’m just putting up this post in case anyone’s interested to join me for tuition. I’ll most likely start in June. Details are below:-

Venue : SS19, Subang Jaya ( near Lick Hung school )

Teacher : Lalitha Nair

If yr interested you can leave yr email address in my comments and I’ll mail you back more details like the charges and maybe a proper day to have the tuition could be discussed.

I was speaking to a dear friend the other day and I was asking her about my blog that she visited ( though she hasn’t left a comment ) about what else could I write about or what she expects to read….Well she didn’t have much in particular , but she did mention that she would love to read about my personal encounter with God if I do encounter one. And well this post is going to be about it. I’m going to share something very personal …and those of you who are in the same homelife as me or in Sword Squad , well you guys might have heard it.

Well everything started off when I entered Form 4 and was forced to move from my school of 3 yrs to a school nearer my house. I was very unhappy about it as I knew I had to leave my circle of friends and most likely be among friends which aren’t believers. And believe it or not I think I was the only Christian in my class in the school. Therefore my struggles began as I was slowly exposed to different cultures and religion. And as I had shared it really wasn’t easy. My classmates questioned my religion, some made fun of it and some wondered why I believed so strongly in something that seemed like nothing to them. And so I told God after Form 5 I’m never going back to school again. Well besides having to face all these from classmates, teachers and other obstacles added struggles to my everyday life. And as we were doing our lesson on Friday night at homecell I was sharing that I felt “like a slave” at that time . Having to go to school everyday, and I felt it was pointless.

And so last year ,as I was preparing for my SPM I prayed everyday for God to show me what to do after Form 5. And I didn’t get a response from Him the whole year. I was so frustrated with myself and I felt so distant from God. I didn’t know what to do and I was so lost. And after talking to a few ppl while I was waiting for my results, those ppl  told me very clearly to go to Form 6. However I said “NO!” straight away without even thinking. However after praying somemore and waiting I finally decided thats what’s best for me. I still wasn’t sure if I did the right thing.

Little did I know that things were going to be different. Last Sunday as I sat in Sunday Service and Pastor was preaching, then he came to a part where he talked about 2 kids that were hardly able to go to school because of physical conditions that restricted them. Then it struck me that eventhough I am fully able and well to go to school I was so spoilt for choice till I didnt know what to do or what to choose. It was then that I felt so ashamed of myself and God impressed on me that Form 6 is what He really wanted me to do. Still I wasn’t too sure. However on Monday …the moment I entered the school I was placed in, peace just flowed through me and I felt a burden being lifted off me. And as I had said in my earlier post that I somehow felt so good and excited that I’ll wake up every morning for school.

Back to Friday at homecell, as Alex led the songs, all the songs she chose were so timely and the words spoke to me and it just brought me to tears. I could hardly even sing as tears kept pouring down my cheeks and I shared my encounter that night with my cell members. Finally then did I realize that God hadn’t left me alone to wander around feeling lost. I was the one that was not listening to Him. I wasn’t listening to what He was telling me as I had fixed it in my mind not to go back to school. I’m not proud for pushing God away…but I would really like to say that God never leaves us nor forsakes us. Its us that oftens shuts off or listen to only what we like to hear .

Another thing I would like to share is, I wasn’t a slave to the school after all. I as placed there for a purpose. If I hadn’t moved to the other school I would have still be in my own comfort zone of Christian friends and I wouldn’t be getting to know other friends from other religions like how I had done in Form 5. I have build relationships now and I hope to keep it up and hopefully bring them to the Lord .

Again I would like to say all praises to God and I really feel at peace now after I stop running and learn to listen. I would certainly need yr prayers my dear readers that are believers. I would say the road ahead is tough and won’ t be easy but I trust I’ll make it through with help from above. Amen.

Hi…Well as you all can see…Hmm my post is about sleep !! And well you see I’m starting to look like a panda already with a bit of dark rings round my eyes….haihz..terrible…
Well of course the cause of it is the lack of sleep and rest…As most of you would know I just started Form 6 this week and its been hectic. Not that lessons are in progress yet but the thing is I’m so tired physically or rather sleepy. I don’t sleep very early at night but have been trying to force myself to sleep by 10.30pm. This is cause I have to wake up at 5.45am to get ready for school. This is cause if we’re late for leaving to school there will be a jam outside the school all along the road and we were almost late on Tuesday.
I get a ride form a friend of mine who lives near by and we go to the same school. So her dad picked me up at 6.45am on Tuesday morning and we headed to Klang ( where my school is ) and everything was fine until we reached the road just outside of the school. We reached there at 7 am and was caught in the jam until 7.20 am !! And we got to school just in time. And everyday by the time we get home from school and settle down after lunch its already 3 pm !
My friends and I were talking today and all of us used to go to the same school last year and we were just comparing our 3 day experience going back to school again and we ended up coming to one conclusion. We are all so tired as we didn’t have to wake up so early last two years as school was just a few minutes away and we didn’t have to worry about traffic jams. We talked about how last time if we woke up late , at 7 am , we could still make it on time to school . Now its impossible.
Anyway we will have to learn to adjust to things and our bodies are slowly adapting….though I have to admit that I fell asleep today (literally ) when there was a talk given on subjects offered ( as they were talking about the science stream first ) and I think if anyone had a camera well one could have taken a pretty funny shot, as my two friends and myself were asleep all in a row!! All three of us had slouched into our seats and with our heads hung down all 3 of us were in la la land….What a sight !
However I think I’ve learnt now to really not take things for granted. Last time even getting up much later for school was a dread for me. Now I know how fortunate I am last time. And how some ppl which do not have the convienience of transport have to wake up way much earlier then I do. I really thank God for providing transport for me and providing everything for me. Praise God !! ( and now even today I didn’t have much trouble waking up …though still sleepy but had the willpower to pull myself out of bed )

Hello my dear readers…..Hahaha its been a while since I wrote anything…So sorry about it but I was busy rushing everything to make sure I had everything ready for the BIG DAY a.k.a today !! Well lets see here’s how it started out.

My alarm on my phone went off at 7.00am….and I put it to snooze till 7.15am, then finally I realized I have to get up ! ( Thank God today was registration and we only start at 9 am ) Anyway I woke up and walked with my eyes closed to my room door,opened it then headed for the bathroom. After I finish with the daily neccessities to be “clean”….I headed back to my room ( this time with my eyes opened) and opened the cupboard to get out something I really really dislike wearing. My uniform !! Arrgghh ! I don’t know why our uniform’s are made out of this material that I can’t stand…Its so cripsy and hard and not to mention hot ! Anyway I still have to wear it . Haihz…so I put it on and next I had to tie my hair ( another thing I don’t like to do espearly in the morning ) But I did anyway. Then I went to gulp down my favourite breakfast ( Half-boiled eggs ) Hehehe

Then I waited for my transport. I’m really fortunate as today my schoolmate was in the same car as I was..coz she needed a lift. So I said hi and then directed the way to school

Then came the big part that I struggled with…:-( I entered the school gate with my friend right behind me ….and we stood around waiting for the time to strike 9 am. Suddenly I saw a girl looking right at me waving frantically and obviously very happy to see me . ( as she was standing alone ) Anyway before I knew it, she was standing right beside me and hehe she was an old schoolmate of mine.

However the day started to get more interesting as the students poured in . Most of them were ppl I didn’t know but some were from my former school. Though most of the other students were from other schools. And to my suprise a lot of them showed up I think there was about 200 of us. And to suprise me even more this whole week there’s no studying but its orientation week and we’ll all have things to do and learn to work together for the whole week. Its also a way to break the ice. We had simple icebreakers and a brief talk about the school. I could say I enjoyed myself today. The teachers were so funny and nice. They were both counselling teacher’s and good thing they’re so nice

So I would like to thank God for blessing me with such a nice day..though I got a headache later in the afternoon as it was getting so hot and my head was pounding like mad.

Though I have to admit that I didn’t make new friends yet today. Stuck close to my classmate. So far its just a few nice genuine smiles to some others but no speaking Still have to work on that too…well I do have one week …hhaha anyway hope tomorrow will be better .

Shalom my dear readers,

I’ll be going into form 6 soon. I’ll be reporting on Monday ( next week) at a school I dont even know….Hahaha but anyway I’m writing this post as I’m getting so nervous just thinking about it. I’ll be going out to purchase my uniform and necessities for school, so this week will be a rush trying to prepare everything

However the thought of me having to go back to school and constantly face discipline teachers ( whom always have a constant problem with me …esp in my upper sec ) just makes me feel so uncertain. Haha i never like the nagging from the teachers don’t know why but they have to pick on the slightest mistake they can find on me ….Anyway I guess its all part and parcel of growing up. And this is a path that I have chosen and I’ve promised myself I will study hard and am aiming for the best results for my STPM next year. However this requires a lot of discipline to study and time frames to stick to…but I think with God’s help nothing is impossible….And of course with help from my wonderful and dear friends and readers I’ll be able to do so too.

However I feel sick everytime I think of walking into school again. A place where I have no friends (yet) and the first day of school as I have said is torturous to me. I really really hate it…not just the first day but the first week. Coz I won’t have any friends yet and I’ll have to try and remember the names of the teachers, then I’ll have to introduce myself everytime someone does or a new teacher enters the class. I get so nervous till I feel I’m not even pronouncing my own name correctly:-) hahaha see how nervous I can get. Then my voice will be all shaky and my feet will become cold. Can you imagine my feet getting cold inside my shoes and socks ….hhaha thats really being nervous…. anyway thats always how I become too if I have to give a speech or talk in front of the class….or even sing hahaha…Well now I have told everyone my weakness!!! Oh no…well I guess its time I be open about it that I do get nervous when it comes to things like that. However again I’m going to pray real hard that God will help me. And really always when I do ask of HIm he is always by my side holding my hand in this nervous situations.

Anyway so I hope all turns out well next week…Well some of you may have seen me post my msg on msn that I was going for a run yesterday evening and I did. I think it was only about 2 or 3 km. I think it was most likely 2km. But it was good for starters And it was so refreshing ……I did this run with my brother…So when we got home….I said, ” Hmm the next one we need to do is swimming ( I really need to work on it as I have forgotten how to ).”

And well my brother said ,” Well yeah thats a good idea, and we should find a suitable day for it “

* this next line yr going to read only those that know this joke about me then you’ll understand it Its something for you guys to laugh about .

Then my bro added , ” What do you call Sarah in the water ??” I answered ,” I don’t know ?? What ?? ”

And he exclaimed in a loud voice ,” WATERHORSE !!!!”

Well i bet you guys are laughing yr heads off for those who understand this joke….I didnt want to share it at first but it was such a funny joke I thought and well I guess I would love to share it with you guys…Though I did scream at him but I also laughed so hard yesterday:-) hope you enjoyed it too …..

Haha dear readers,

I must announce ( not proudly though ) that I’m not that good at driving !! Arrgghhh…..DANGER ! When Sarah is behind the wheel….Hahaha….Sigh..Well just to enlighten you guys on what I’m talking about well here its goes……
