My so-called life

1982
26th Feb
Mum decided to stay over at Pantai Medical the day before giving birth to me. She was wheeled into this room (she prefers not to share) which, was at the hospital's old wing. When she entered the room my mum immediately asked them to put her in another room cuz she felt there was something 'spooky' in the room.
27th Feb
Came out from my mum's womb the next day about 4+ in the evening. Yay ! A baby girl.. Whom, according to my mum was the ugliest baby she'd ever seen. But she loved me anyway cuz I was her daughter.

1983 - 1984
You know how it is that you can't remember anything when you're really young. Okay so I don't remember much but mum said that she couldn't play 'dress-up' with me cuz I didn't look like a girl and I wasn't a boy so, I wore jump suit all the time.

My family moved from DU to DJ. Been living here ever since :)

1985
This is the year I had an extra family member. Don't know how I remember this, given that I was only 3 yrs old, but I saw my brother at the clinic where he was born.
5 days later, it was Christmas. Yay !! A very joyous occasion at my grandpa's.
And me still in jump suits.

1986
A couple moved into the house next door which, coincidentally has a daughter my age and a son my bro's age. This is where my 'neighbour-for-life' life began.
Introducing Yoong and Meng.

1987 -1988
My kindergarten yrs. It was called Tadika Utama in TTDI.
I remember being punished once. Can't remember for what but I had to stand on the table till after school :(
Unknown to me then I made a friend, Yin who also happens to be Yoong's childhood friend.
My favourite was Maggie Mee - chicken flavour during our break.
Performed Dikir Barat at my concert.
Graduated from kinder.

Me and my cousins were flower girls for my aunts wedding. She married a HK guy. His family came down for the wedding. Each of us were paired up with a guy (fr his side of the family) and we had to hold hands with our partner. Eewww.. kooties !! The guy I was paired up with is 3 yrs older than me. We were really shy and all but this was the first time I had a crush. I remember telling myself that I was gonna marry him. Heheheh.

1989
Std 1
Was enrolled into Sekolah Sri Petaling (SSP). The dreaded first day of Std 1. Met my best friend on the 1st day of school, Mandy. I was even more thrilled when I discovered that she lived just a few rows down my road.
She changed my life forever, and sadly she will never know about it.

My grandpa died of a heart attack. Although I was too young to know what was going on then, I knew I would never see him again. Love him sooo much. I'm so thankful to have a grandfather like him. I still miss him. Wish I could tell him how much he meant to me.

1990 - 1991
Std 2 & Std 3
Found out that Mandy attended Trinity Methodist Church every Sunday and I wanted to go so badly. I woke up extra early one Sunday morning and jumped on my parent's bed to wake my mum up so that she would take me.
What's better than going to church with your best friend right :)

1992
Std 4
Mandy had a crush on this guy in our class. New kid I think. Anyway, things got weird because she found out that he liked me and she was angry at me. Had no idea at first. All I knew was he kept irritating me. Can't remember how I knew he liked me but I was flattered of course ;) Still didn't know why Mandy was always so cold towards me until someone told me. Losing a best friend over a guy? NO WAY maN ! But I think that was when she had other 'best friends'.
*Sigh* Typical.

1993
Std 5
I was in this 'group' thingy. You know how we moved in packs. Hahhaa I mean cliques. There were about 5/6 of us. Don't remember. There was Sue, Letch, Fi, Mandy, Jin, and me.
Mandy and her family migrated to UK at the end of Std 5. Her dad was offered a job there.
Oh, did I mention that Mandy's a genius? Yeah she is. Anyway, I was really sad and all.

1994
Std 6
Became really close to Sue. Went to her house after school everyday. Her driver would pick us up and my mum would come get me after work. Had lotsa fun with her.
However, there was always this huge conflict in our 'group' - 'this one will friend that one and that one don't wanna friend the other one' kinda thing. It was horrible because if you're stuck in the middle you have to choose.
Was suppose to go to Gold Coast with Sue and her family but because of 'one of those' conflicts I didn't go. I even made a visa.

1995 - 1996
F1 & F2
Went to Sekolah Menegah D'sara Jaya (SMDJ). Saw lots of fimiliar faces. Some from SSP and others from SRK DJ2. I knew some from the latter group cuz Yoong studied there.
I met my new best friend in F1, Yen. We were very close and she lived nearby too.

These were the worst yrs of my schooling life. The 'group' conflict also happened here. I guess it was a new school and people were trying to make new friends, trying to fit in and stuff.
I regret everything I've done to mess up my friendship with Yen.
Yen if you're somehow reading this, I'm truly sorry for the hurts and pains I've caused you.

Swam for school in MSSD.
Joined Latin dancing with Yoong. And met crazee Win-Ni there. Just lurve her :)

1997
F3
Was in the same class as Linda. She happens to be Yoong's very close friend in primary school. I knew her but not that well. As time went by we became the bestest of best friends. I knew that I couldn't make the same mistakes as I did with Yen. Linda taught me lots about friendship. I remember people going like, "If you see Linda you'll see Cheryl, and if you see Cheryl you'll see Linda". That was how close we were. And, she lived 3 mins away ;)
Hhmmm.. I just realised that all my best friends live near me.

Competed in my very first and last Medalist (dancing competition).

1998 - 1999
F4 - F5
Although Linda was in a different class, we were still very good friends.
Yoong was finally in the same class as I was. I really enjoyed myself here. The people in my class were a friendly lot and the teachers just loved us. I'm serious. Cuz maybe we weren't the naughty class but the cheeky one ;)
Here is also where I met my 'friends for life' friends.
I truly thank God for Yoong and Jays.

My uncle passed away due to colon cancer.
Started attending another church, DUMC. My cousin brought me there. Was really blessed by my CG and Youth Pastor and Aunty Kelly :)

Went to Osaka for a Student Exchange programme when I was 16. Had a wonderful experience.

Another addition to the Low family. Named my cutie lil' doggie Angel. He's really an angel.

2000 - 2001
Went to Taylor's to do my A' Level's.
Yoong was doing CIMP at Sunway but later came to Taylor's to do SAM.
Jays did CPU at Taylor's too.

Enjoyed my class very much. Fun bunch of people. Made lots of really good friends - Jings, Zee, Elaine, Serene, Jem, David, Chern Yen, Asha, Suzanne, Bee Wei, Al...
Was really sad when Elaine left for Italy.

Went to Tekam (can't remember where it is, somwhere in the jungle) for a class trip.
Took up Weng Chun with Serene for awhile. Went rock climbing practically every once a week with Serene at Summit.
Started to be an F1 freak thanx to Big B and Schrufesberg.
Flunk my finals. Re - took my exam in Nov.

Stopped going for CG cuz it was difficult to fit in.
Found the love of my life at DUMC... *060901*

2002 - 2004
Enrolled into Kemayan ATC to do law. Was really upset at first cuz it was all the way in Petaling Street. Came across as a bitch and an anti-social. There were only about 12 people in my class. My first friend was Lindy. After 3 whole weeks of not speaking to anyone, she introduced herself. I had my lil' clique as time went by. Me, Lindy Ling and Joey. Joey left to UPM a few months later.
Went to Red Box with Ling and Lindy quite often. We sang our hearts out ;P

Michael shifted to our class. Became good friends with us. My study buddy when our exams were drawing nearer.

Was really honoured when BK asked me to become a CG Leader Intern, together with Charm and Deb.

Went to Melb with Ling after the exams. Stayed at Serene's while I was there. Had a great time. Met up with Jays and Yin. Party, party, party...
Things changed when I came back. Hurt the person closest to my heart. Wish I could turn back time. There's only regret, regret, regret... *060903*

20 and 21 were the best years of my 22 years of living. Up until Aug 2003.
*Sigh* No good thing lasts forever...

Competed in a dance competition held at Shangrila. Women's event. Partnered with Charissa.

Enrolled into Uni of Northumbria in Newcastle. Left for UK in Sept. Didn't like it there one bit. Learned how to depend on God.
Went for Nottingham Games. Met Josh and Young Lee and Elaine's friend.
Made a really good friend from Cyprus, Angeliki. Thank God for her cuz I wouldn't have survived without her. Different culture but one mind :)
Came back to M'sia in Dec for C'mas hols.

2004
Mum followed me back to UK in Jan. Really liked having her there. Cleaning and cooking and stuff. Hehhehe.
Celebrated my b'day with a few friends. Thanx for the wonderful cake PC.

God sent friends to help me with my walk with Him. Will forever be thankful for Biona and CY. Went to Spring Harvest. Enjoyed myself tremendously. Took pics with Tim Hughes. Hahaha.
