~Wonderfully Blessed~

1st of February ‘07

Well, it’s been days since I’ve updated you. Quite a lot of interesting things happened this week at school! I’ll try to remember everything and flash back. Ok, the first day of my second weeks was quite great! I know that it’s because of my prayers the night before. Praise God! Anyways, I went to school and I ate in the cafeteria for the first time. I’m so grateful to have known Betty in Fellowship Christian Athletes. She’s the sweetest girl ever. I think she’s an angel sent by God to help me fit in at school. She showed me everything about the cafeteria and has a fix table in the cafeteria for us. I felt sooo happy^^ Then, the second day, I had a Diversity Meeting on my 3rd Mod. So, I went to the meeting and it turned out marvellous! I met lots of wonderful people who was glad to know about Malaysia. After school, I had a meeting with Chelsey to do our History assignments. Then, the third day, nothing much really happened but John was really funny in the cafeteria. Then, the fourth day, that’s today, Mr. Longnecker said that I have an articulate writing but he didn’t know that’s me because I wrote the questions anonymously..hehe.. Then, Mrs. King said that my composition of the scales was good and neat. Wow! I love that. Then, during History class, something funny happened. We were talking about skyscrapers and a student asked, "What is the tallest structure in the world?" Then, Mrs. Hutzel said, "Well, I’ve heard of a twin tower that connected with a bridge in the middle." I immediately raised my hands and said, "That’s in my country!" Lol, then, I showed them the picture of the Petronas Twin Towers. It turned out that many of them thought that I was a girl that migrated to America instead of an exchange student. They started asking lots and lots of questions! Wow, a taste of fame for a while! Hehe, then, I had a test during web-design. After school, I went to the auditorium for a drama meeting. It was a great meeting and the casts were all really friendly. I can’t wait to help out! Anyways, I got to prepare myself for tomorrow’s Winterfest in Ocean City! So, wait for my news! CIaoz…^^

Sorry for not updating you diary. I’ve been so busy and depressed lately. School is horrible and I’m not sure whether I’ll get to like it or not. Everything is so blur and hectic. The people there are so different and some are ‘weird’ too. Not all of the students are warm. They usually stick to their groups and don’t like accepting new friends. Today, I sat in the cafeteria with Chelsey and her friends, but it was awkward because I was a stranger to them. The group that sits next to us are the orchestra group. They’re the ones that stick to their group. The girl who sits next to me in orchestra is so cold that she didn’t really wanted me to sit with her on the first day but she said I could when I asked her. At last, they went without me! They’re so cruel! Haihz, I dunno whether I’ll be brave enough to buy food in the cafeteria or not. I pray and hope that some angel would come and help through all my problems in school. Anyways, I had a great time when my school did not start last week. I went shopping with Cassandra and Alicia and I bought all the nice and necessary things. However, every happy moment that I have is ruined by my crazy school life. They’re so unreceptive of a Asians like me. There’re too much discrimination in this school. How I pray that some leader will ban these discrimination from the face of the earth. I have God on my side and I know He’ll help me through all these problems. "Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that You and I can’t handle together". Lord, help me and answer my prayers. Diary, please pray for me. Wait for my happy news. Might be a long time for now. I’m kinda dreading tomorrow’s school day. God be with me!!

I woke up at around 9:15 am today. I’ll be alone at home coz mom and dad are working and Victoria has gone to Phillip’s and Nathanael’s house. I went to the kitchen to get something to eat and mom actually prepared cupcakes and cereals for breakfast and sandwich for lunch. I ate cereals and cupcakes while watching TV. Then, I went to my room to write in this diary and tried mismatching my clothes and listened to songs. I was busy till around 4:00 pm when mom and Victoria came home. Mom told me that I’ll be going out with Alicia to the mall. I got dressed and ate Taco’s, macaroni, and asparagus for dinner. It was nice. Then, we went to fetch Alicia and went to the mall. We went to the Payless Shoes and a few other shops. We tried on several perfumes and I still smell like perfumes now. I bought two shoes at Payless Shoes. I got a sneaker and a boot which is beautiful. Alicia and I talked a lot and we shared a lot. Then, at 8:00 pm, we went to Alicia’s house. I went to see her room which was great and we had a great chat with Alicia’s mom about every movie that are nice. We talked until about 9:00 pm and went home. I changed into my nightgown and called my Daddy in Malaysia. We talked a lot and after that, me, Victoria, and Mom sat down to watch Friends on TV. After that, I went back to my room to write here. Hehe..hear from me soon! Muax =P

I woke up at 8:15 am today to prepare for church. We attend Gateway Ministries which is the biggest church in Maryland!! Wow… they even have their own song album and their worship team rocks!! It’s like the ones I watch in all the music videos. I’m happy to be a part of them. I met a lot of people and I met Cassandra from the Phillipines. We worshipped God together and often go for shopping sprees. Then, we left church, went home, and went out again to celebrate my host dad’s mom’s birthday in a restaurant. I ate an 8 oz. sirloin steak which was huge! I didn’t finish my mashed potatoes and macaronni and cheese. I almost fell down twice at the restaurant which was quite embarassing. Anyways, I had a great meal and I didn’t have to eat dinner coz I was too full. Then, we went home and had a nap for about 2 hours. After that, we went to our Sunday night service. It was as great too^^ Their worship team is marvellous! I met Alicia in church and we got along well too. I met her mom and we made plans for outings together. After church, we went to McDonalds to eat some fries. Sharon, Phillip, and Nathanael, and their dad with mom’s sister-in-law and daughter Elisa, was there too. Tommy, Tamsen, and little Alden was also there. We saw some family pictures and had a nice laugh. Then, we went home and watched Shall We Dance. After the show, I had to get to bed coz I was tired. Tomorrow will be another day! See ya!!
