Kinda
scary, huh? This setting would make everyone think that I have a mysterious
personality and knowing me up close and personal would mean their very
death. Nahhhh.... it's just great having a different background and all.
Feeling bored with the same old style and same old boring introduction.
See? What did I tell you? Even the introduction's different. We're talking
originality here, man!
Anyway, my name is Charis Liew and I'm from Ipoh. Ipoh is a town in Perak which is a state in Malaysia. Ipoh is famous for the food and leng-luis (pretty girls). Don't believe me? Well... just to let you know, Michelle Yeoh was from Ipoh, Amy Mastura was from Ipoh and the beauty contestant Jeanette Ooi was from Ipoh too. I'm 16 this year and I'm in my second last year of high school. I plan to further my studies down in KL but that really depends on the financial capability of my family. It's all in the hands of God, actually. If you've got any problems with your wife in your future life or if you are being sued by someone, come find me. Me, the future-lawyer. But I'm no devil's advocate, that's for sure.
I'm a Chinese with two wonderful and supportive parents Henry and Jenny. My dad has only one wife and 3 children including me. I have an elder brother and a younger sister. A three-year gap with the former and a 7-year gap with the latter. We've got a dog named Brownie because... well... she's brown! She's really cute and it's like she understands every word you're saying to her. OK!! I talk to dogs, happy? :) I'm a Christian by nature and I go to Shekinah Community Centre which is situated behind the mall (JJ). I also join a youth group and we proudly call ourselves YC. It stands for a variety of names like Youth Connection, Young Christians, Y Christ?, Yellow Chinese (haha) and many more.
I go to SMK Convent, Ipoh which is one of the best schools in Ipoh. But unfortunately, it is an all-girls school which is a trend in Ipoh anyway. But I think we girls have more fun if we're of the same sex. Coz, seriously I can't think of what the outcome would be if suddenly I have a woman attack! And no more gossipping for us, no more bullying the silly and fragile man teachers we have and of course no more building of friendships that last forever. That last thing (building lasting friendships) really IS something I'll always treasure. After hearing 'bout all my friends who already left Ipoh for further studies and 'bout how bored they are without their friends and 'bout how their friends are in all over the continents of the world.... treasuring friendships NOW seem like the sane thing to do.
Speaking of treasuring friendships. I have three very great, supportive, loving, caring, kind, understanding, huggable, teasable, laughable, cryable (help! I've ran out of adjectives!) kutukable and prayerful friends in my life. Without their very existence, life will have no meaning for me. Coz, seriously to whom can u cry to and laugh at and blame on, someone other than your closest of the closest friends? Furthermore, God gave me these three wonderful sisters of mine to remind me of His countless blessings that He showers upon me everyday. Julie, Joanne and Rainee...all of you are the best of the best and the firm rock on which I stand strong on. I pray everyday that in every time that we've got on each other's nerves, it shall be forgiven and forgotten and it will strengthen our friendship more and more. I pray too that we'll never be apart from each other even when we're old and grey. (without wrinkles, girls, use Shiseido wrinkle-free lotion)
Up close and personal, I'm a very sensitive person. I mean that as in I'm always very sensitive to other people's needs. I love all my acquaintances and treasure everything that they've done. I don't like having enemies and try not to get on other people's who-to-kill list too. Perfection is always very important to me though sometimes I do slack behind in cleaning my rooms, doing my homework, feeding the dog.. and.. ohmigoodness... am I that slackish?
I also feel the burden to share what I strongly believe in in my life. That is, I believe in Jesus and admit that He was crucified and died on the cross for me to take away all my sins and wrongdoings. He loves you too, guys. Accept Him in your life and feel the peace that comes with it. He listens and comforts even when there's no one else siding you. Think 'bout it. Reach out, He'll reach in.
So that is me. No one else but me. If you think what I said may not sound like me and instead portrays a different person altogether, sorry, you didn't know me that well. NOW you do.
