One Two Three, Not Only You And Me

Thank you for the birthday wishes and pressies everyone :)
Seventeen doesn't feel any different. What a disappointment.

Sorry for the lack of recent posts. Just haven't been feeling very inspired to blog lately, which could be due to the fact that my finals are coming up, as well as the fact that I had a ton of Physics homework to finish off last week. Oh, and my birthday, and Mom's birthday, and Britney's concert, and some stuff on my mind, blah blah blah.

What else have I been up to these days? Spending too much money for my own good, wasting time on YouTube and eBay, obsessing over jewelry, listening to a lot of Britney Spears. I adore her ♥ even more so after going to her Circus concert.


WATCH! One of my favourite parts from the whole show. I didn't take this but it was taken on the same night that I went to her concert :) wish my camera was that clear.
I want that pink mallet, it's so cuteee!

Raindrops On Roses And Whiskers On Kittens

This is Pekkle, apparently.
I was browsing through the Sanrio website when I saw it and I stared for a moment, wondering why it looked SO familiar. Then it hit me: I used to have a Pekkle toothbrush holder when I was a kid, except that my Pekkle wore a blue shirt instead of red.
It was a birthday present from Marene :)
Nostalgiccccc. I want one again!

Currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Actually I'm taking a break from it, since my finals are tres tres close ;_;
And I have a moleskine, finally! Not taking it off my wishlist though, because I want to fill up as many as I can and then look back at them when I am older and be like rawr, nostalgia.

eBay is highly addictive. I have a million things on my watch list at the moment, tee-heeeeee. And some stuff that have yet to arrive in my mailbox <3

Two more days.

Here's A Lullaby To Close Your Eyes

Gonna try to make a quick post before I go to bed so I can drown my sorrows and at the same time, catch some well-deserved shuteye. I have to thank Suyin for being there for me though :) ily nfl! ♥

Ugh, did I mention that I lost my R key? I dropped my bottle of Dior J'Adore on my keyboard and the R key broke off, so now every time I want to type R, I have to jab a couple of times at the spot where the R key used to be. But I've come up with a smarter method. All I do is copy an R off somewhere and Ctrl+V it every time I need to use it. It's really not that bad :) but of course it cannot beat having the actual R key.

I can't believe my birthday is in less than two weeks.

This is the first time that I'm not completely excited for my birthday. You know why? It's because it's about a week before my finals begin.

On the bright side, at least I'm seeing Britney Spears in concert that week.

And now, the essential birthday wishlist!
In no particular order.

1. A plain/blank Moleskine notebook

Not the ones with lined paper. THEY MUST BE BLANK AND PLAIN K.
Why do I want one, you ask? Well, for one, I LOVE WRITING BY HAND. And I just like writing in general :) and doodling. I want to doodle a lot in there. This moleskine will be an outlet for all the pent up thoughts and emotions I have. I get creative outbursts every now and then too, so maybe I can record those in there.
* Helpful links: Kikki K
* Cheaper alternatives: blank notebooks, doesn't matter whether or not they're lined. Preferably cute in some way.

2. Black pens
I love black fineliners. Black gel pens. Black fountain pens. I only ever write in black ink, never blue.
Not ballpoints. I HATE THOSE.

3. A nameplate necklace

Which says Cheryn.
Preferably in gold, because I loooove gold accessories. I want a plain one, don't want one with diamond studs or flowery stuff in it.
* Helpful links: Jewellery Express, Bevilles
* Cheaper alternatives: Idan Jewelry, Name Necklaces

4. Perfume

I want this, it smells SO SEXY.
Can be found at Priceline or Myer, as far as I know.

Or you could just help me restock on my favorite scents, which are Dior J'Adore and Britney Spears' Curious.
Or you could surprise me with some sexy new scents ;)
* Cheaper alternatives: body mists, body sprays, body splashes, whatever you want to call them.

5. A DSLR

Okay, so I doubt anyone's going to get me this. But hey a girl's allowed to dream, right? <3

6. Surprise me!
I like receiving things which are completely unexpected.

Other ideas: Hair products, giftcards, CLOTHES CLOTHES CLOTHES, novelty items, vintageeee! a new phone, new laptop, haircuts, hair treatments, waxing, facials, massages, CA-A-ASH!, old films (I love Audrey Hepburn), BOOKS PLEASE, lingerie baby ;)

I want to read the Time-Traveler's Wife. I think it's going to be the next book on my to-read list.

Heads Or Tails?

I'm conducting a survey because I get a lot of people saying that I'm not what I appear to be. So right now I'm going around asking everyone, "What was your first impression of Cheryn Ter?"

Identities will be kept anonymous, of course.

"Azim's girlfriend. Americanized."

"New hot chick."

"I can't remember my first impression of you. But I think the first time I talked to you, you asked me a question and I answered it. And you misinterpreted it and said something silly. So I thought, 'Lol she's a ditz.. but she's cute so it's okay'. But since then I've found that you're quite smart when you want to be."

"New weirdo in class."

"Oh wow! A new girl! A pretty Asian!"

"I'd say feisty."

"I thought you were really pretty and had good English."

"Pretty but dumb."

"Honestly? Well, I thought you were very pretty for an Asian, and that you had long eyelashes. Might have thought you looked a bit slutty, but turns out you're not."

All males. Save for the last one.
I'll ask you girls later. :)

Seems Somebody Put Out The Moon

Apparently this is how you spell my Chinese name ;D

褚珍梨

The first character means (Ter/zhu), '(surname)'. That's what it said on this translation website. I'm positive it means something, so someone tell me :@ this Chinese person told my sister that it means scarlet. As in scarlet red. Which is hot because I love shades of red.

The second character (Qin/zhen), which is MY name, as in no one else in the family shares it with me, means 'precious thing' or 'treasure'. Tee-hee. I'M A PRECIOUS PIECE OF TREASURE K, WORSHIP ME :@

The last character (Lil, derived from Little/li) could also be 麗, since there is no one way of writing my name in Chinese, because my parents don't know how to write in Chinese. So I can pretty much spell it however I like. 梨 means pear, but 麗 (or 丽 when simplified) means beautiful/lovely/fair/elegant/pretty so maybe I want my 'li' to be spelled that way instead ;D

Just posting this here so I'll remember how my Chinese name looks like.
Thank you Carrie for teaching me ♥
and credit goes to Wiktionary and some other site for the definitions and so on.

Talking to someone, who doesn't want his name on my blog, he wants to go by E instead. Also, he wants me to say, "Those who know who E is, please keep it to yourself". But anyways we were talking about fat people and I said it was mean to call them that.

E: What else can I call them?
Cheryn: The unfortunate.
E: The horizontally challenged.
Cheryn: The gravitationally challenged.
E: The horizontally endowed.

No offence to anyone out there, of course.

These Little Town Blues Are Melting Away

This might be a sensitive topic to certain people, and I know it wasn't the nicest thing to do, but at that time it was - I'll admit it - hilarious.
We were young and reckless back then, we didn't really give much thought to how other people would feel about our actions. So just before anyone tries to make me feel guilty about this incident, know that I'm not like that anymore.

Remember what Suyin and I did in 2006? To a certain someone whom most people loathed and mocked? Involving rotten things?

I hope to God she doesn't find my blog and read this, hahaha. But I don't want to describe the whole incident again, since it was such huge news at that time and everyone knew about it. So people who don't know about it, you should just stay uninformed of the kind of things I used to do :]

Anyways, dear ol' JonO brought it up again earlier, as many people do. But Jon was actually in on it, yeah not a lot of people know that did you? And he worded it in the funniest way possible. You wouldn't get it if you didn't know about the incident lol.

First off he called it an experiment.
Cheryn: How was that an experiment?

Then he wrote up a whole report.

Aim: To see the reaction of fat people to mouldy bread.

- Constant variable: Mass of test subject

- Manipulated variable: Amount of mould on bread

- Responding variable: Degree of consumption

Conclusion: Test subject reacts violently upon visual contact. Might consume bread completely if comes within physical contact.

Lol it wouldn't be funny to you if you hadn't been one of the witnesses to the incident.

I made my boyfriend a calendar wallpaper :] for November. It has me on it. Tee-hee. I'm using it as my own wallpaper as well, for now. Did you know we've been dating for more than 7 months now? What a record.

Midnight and I still haven't taken my makeup off and had a shower. Gah.

All That Jazz

Hi, I finally feel well enough to grace the school with my presence again so yes I went to school today. Or in Hong's words, because he thinks I should stop flattering myself; I finally feel well enough to get my ass to school. What crude language. I donut like it. I prefer the way I worded it :P
Ugh, I sound like a grandma when I talk now because my throat's all swollen up. Stop teasing me about it. ;_;

Hmm, I feel like mentioning this. Some people seem to be under the strange delusion that I live a near-perfect and carefree life; lots of cash to go shopping whenever I feel like it, boys after me, and a fairytale romance with the guy I've always wanted to be with.
But no.
Underneath the grinning-bobcat smile I really am just a jumpy old cat. Lol, I don't know what I'm trying to say. But yes, things get rocky in relationships every now and then, I still have insecurites (and a lot indeed), and well I'm broke half the time. The only reason why you probably think I'm carefree and happy is because I laugh excessively and I keep a lot to myself. Always have, always will, because that's just the way I roll ;) of course there's the occasional talk where I spill my heart out to someone close, but even then, no one knows half the things that I go through, or feel.
I make my life seem a lot simpler than it really is. And ignore a lot of my personal problems. I think I pretend a lot, not just to other people, but to myself. Pretend I have nothing worth worrying about.

Moving on.
I'm using Chapstick again :] it's been awhile. Last year, all I ever wore on my lips was strawberry chapstick. I was very much in love with it for some reason.

Oh, also I put my links (look to the side of the page!) in alphabetical order, so there would be no er, favourism and all that.

And Magnum bars are LOOOOVE, I swear.

They make up about 50% of my diet for the past few days.
Ice cream soothes the throat, you know =] I had three yesterday and two today. LIVIN' DA LIFE YO
