Lunch

My daily lunch: 2 buns, 1 cup o' yogurt, 1 banana, water

Afternoon snack: mushroom cream soup, 2 mini-pizzas

Ironic, isn't it? I know it's sorta suppose to be the other way around...but this is the only way I can eat stuff between tutoring. Sigh...

Well, at least the winter break will be over anyways. Then everything can go back to normal! I won't have to have a messed-up diet anymore!

Almost School Time

Ah...just a couple more days and the winter break will be over! And also on Sunday it will be the first day of 2012! Scared. Well anyways, this year has been one of the most fun years of my life. Went to Europe. Got Principal's List. Grew taller. Went to debate tournaments. Not bad for one year. Oui oui. Let's see...what should I do for 2012? Ah, there's just more planning to do. New challenges for the new year!

Food Is Good

Today my dad and I went grocery shopping and I bought some of my favorite food. I bought two cans of mushroom soup (one wild and one golden), yogurt, mandarin oranges, bananas and mini-pizzas. Oh the mini-pizzas. I ate two right after I got home. I used to eat them everyday when I was in elementary school. Hhahahha. Oh, and I was trying to find this really yummy quasidilla thing I used to eat at Safeway, but sadly they don't sell it anymore. It's called Lean Stuff and it's really yummy with grilled chicken, black beans, pepper and cheese stuffing. Yum. How I miss my yummy food!

Sickness

Darn it. My cold just got worse. ME NO GUSTA. And I have seven hours of tutoring to do for today. Lucky me. Everything just suck right now. I don't get good sleep at night because I have trouble breathing with stuffed nose. Ugh. WHEN IS THIS SICKNESS GOING AWAY?! To make matters worse, my mom caught my cold as well :(

Pomegranate Explosion

I was trying to split open a pomegranate when the incident happened. BOOM. POMEGRANATE JUICE EVERYWHERE. RED JUICE STAINING CARPET MY BED MY PILLOW AND EVERYTHING. It was a disaster. I spent like an hour cleaning up the stains. The thing is, when I scrubbed soap on the stain, it turned from red to blue because of PH chemical reaction. Sigh. I had to scrub them so hard to reduce the stain. I tore down my pillow cover and my blanket cover, and then washed them for a long while. Good thing these things didn't get much stain on them. Most stain ended up on the carpet. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Do you know that pomegranate juice is soooo hard to wash away? Well...here's a good lesson for you----next time you eat a pomegranate, don't try to split it in half using brutal force. :/

Ugh

Looks like my sore throat isn't going away for a while. Again, that sucks. Well, today I had to go back tutoring for 5 hours/ day and the sore throat didn't help me much. I spoke to my students in this freaky raspy voice...but surprisingly they were not too bothered by it. One of my student was really sweet and she brought me a glass of water. Oui oui.

I try to eat stuff. But again, most food just irritate my throat and make it worse. The bad thing is when my throat gets sick, my nose gets sicks too. I mean, I love the winter holidays-----but I certainly do NOT like winter sickness!

NOOOOOOOO

It's Christmas and my throat just got worse. I can barely speak, and my throat makes annoying hissing sound when I try to speak. This sucks! I can't eat most of the yummy stuff because they will just irritate my throat more. Ugh. Now I need to drink lots of water to help soothe my throat. I hope my throat gets better by tomorrow, because tomorrow I have tutoring to do and it would be bad if I can't speak. Ugh. I hate sore throat.

Christmas....sore throat?!

I can't believe it! I have a sore throat right now! And it's Christmas Eve tonight! Ugh this sucks. My sore throat can possibly lead to fever, you know. I am not sure how I got the sore throat. It's either from those two really oily and high-calory egg muffins I ate yesterday or from the cold weather. Sigh...I just hope things don't get worse. Right now I am gonna drink a lot of water to help soothe my sore throat. Oui oui.

Break

I am getting a break! This Saturday and Sunday I don't have tutoring so I can have some free time for Christmas! I get to sleep in, paint and visit my friends! So looking forward to that. Right now I am watching Transformers 3 online and eating grapes. It's time I get some relaxation! I've waited so long for this! Today's blog is gonna be a bit short because I wanna enjoy my movie >:3

Horray

We've reached our company goal of $300.00! In fact, we even went beyond the goal! Total= $374.81~~ Today we made over 100 dollars by selling felt stuff, starry wishing jars, greeting cards and toques! Yaaahahhhhha~~~~ Specials thanks to everyone in the company! Thank you Leslie for the yummy baked goods; Celinna for the cute toques and felt stuff; Carina and Jennica for chocolate cake and being such awesome salespeople! We couldn't have done it without you guys! This is beautiful.

Starry Wishing Jar

I am making some starry wishing jars right now! I got eight different-sized jars with cork top. I am folding colorful ribbons into stars and putting them in the jars. Then I am gonna paint them with snowy scenes, snowmen, Santa, etc. Then we are gonna sell them tomorrow and make some moar money! Even my mom is complimenting me on how crafty I've been! Yay. She's always known me as the clumsy one. But nao I is crafty. Horrrayayayyayaya.

Folding the stars is kinda tiring and sometimes it hurts because the stars' pointy ends stab my fingers. But it's worth it. Hheheheheheh.

So Proud

I've made over 20 felt stuff! Just need to sell them all on Thursday! I think we are gonna make a lot of money out of them. Plus I also made some cards and Celinna is helping me make the envelopes. Thanks Celinna!

Now I only have enough thread to make one or two felt stuff. Closing up the felt stuff requires a really long piece of thread. I just wanna finish up now so that we can reach our company goal sooner. It's been fun but we kinda have to move onto buskerfest nao.

CARRRR YOU ARE A GENIUS :P

Well, well, well

Second day of winter break. Not bad. Just the usual. I did tutoring again and one of my student's mom told me to come everyday during the winter break. O.O Oh well. I am still making felt stuff because I kinda wanna do another sale on Wednesday. I already made like 7. Hehehhehehehe in two days! So proud of myself. Oui oui. Oh, and today I watched Family Guy Christmas episode. I watched it last year. Hheheheheh. It was about Stewie and Brian finding Santa all sick and messed up. Then they decided to save Christmas. Hhehehehhehe. Really fun episode.

CUTENESS!

Isn't it cute? Hhehehehehe. I am making Carina to draw out chibis of our teachers. Hhehehehehee.

Le Selling

WINTER BREAK MUAHWHAHAHAHAH~~~~~

So anyways, we had our winter assembly today, and after that Carina and I went straight to the "haunted apartment" to do some selling for our business thing project.

You remember the "haunted apartment", don't you? I wrote about it in one of my grade 8 blogs. We saw an old guy in diaper; a pedo who offered us green cookies and a crazy woman with imaginary butcher knife when we were in that building asking for money for Buskerfest last school year.  Shiver~~~ Yes, we were shivering when we got there.

But apparently, this time the building is not so freaky anymore. We never saw those freaky ppl. We sold everything though and made like 42 dollars. Not bad, not bad at all :P Considering we didn't really have that much to sell :')

It was just me and Carina. After that we went to my house and we continued making some stuff with felt. We are doing another sale next week before Christmas.

Oh...

Well, this afternoon we went to the Synergy party. We did go to Robson square skating rink. Carina, Jennica, Celinna and I waited for Mr. Olson for so long to sign in but he didn't show up! :'( We were so hungry so we went to Pacific Centre food court and ate lunch. Dude. I was sooooooo like starving! Lunch was nice, then we got too warm and cozy inside the mall so that we decided to stay. We wandered into Sears and bought some small Christmas gifts! I found this really really cute porcelain bunny candle holder for only $3.25 (tax included) and I bought it for my mom. Hhehehhehe. Sorry Mr. Olson! But we were there...we just got too hungry and left :')

Oh, and is it okay if I can do my bus adventure during the winter break? I go on buses like every week regularly and I always forget to take pictures...:')

why did I write this blog so late

Gahhhhh I can't believe I am writing such a late blog today! Just a few more minutes 'til 12 so I have to hurry up. Anyways, this afternoon Roy and I went to Jessie's house to work on our mandala. Our theme is travelling and we are building a traveller. Hahehehhehe. I think we are kinda tight on schedule right now because we still have to finish the writing portion. The good thing is that we are finished with constructing the traveller model. Now we just have to finish up all the writing work! Hehhehehe. Oh, and I also spent most of my evening making a gift for my Secret Santa person. It took me so long because the paint was not being nice to me. :o

V for Vendetta

I LOVE V FOR VENDETTA~~~~It's such a good movie! Argghghhg must watch it again with mon family. The ending is so sad and beautiful at the same time. </3 le cry. I love the domino part. So cool! I wonder how long it took them to put up all the dominoes. There must be 1million pieces in that display. Just imagine this----you are half-way done, and you accidentally knock down one domino and destroy the entire ensemble. Lolz. Hard work.

So Busy

This afternoon I went to help out with the district test thingy. It reminded me of myself taking the same test about like two years ago. Ahhhhh...I remember the time. I was so nervous and sorta "scared" because I thought I was gonna fail the test. But turns out I didn't...I got into Synergy, so yay for moi. Anyways, we distributed the test papers and such. But when we collected them, the alphabetically order got messed up, so we spent some time reorganizing stuff. We also got juice boxes. It was so funny, because when I told Mr. Olson that I was bored because the people were just like doing their tests and not having any questions. Mr. Olson told me : "Have a juice." I was like "Okay." But then at the end I drank too much juice and my stomach actually hurt a little bit from the acidic liquid. Hahahhahahaha. I counted my juice boxes. I've had three juice boxes in total today! A grape juice box during lunch; a medley juice box and an apple-orange-peach juice during the district test. Lolz.

Now I am just working on my socials brochure. Carina gave me the online google template so that we can all work on it together. Heh. It's not as good as CorelDraw, but we can all get on it. Hehhehehehehe.

Oh My Cheeses

Today I went to this award ceremony for a piece of medallion I've won from the piano competition. Viv and Levina were there too! They were volunteering for the event. Anyways, after the award ceremony we went to our church for the Christmas program. We sang hymns and presented our verses, then we went downstairs for a yummy turkey dinner. The food was so delicious.

Then we came home and I realized that I still have a lot of work to do. I can't believe it----this week we are all so busy! What is wrong with teachers before holidays? Huh, I guess they just like torturing us before the break. Muahahahwhahh evilness >:D Anyways, I am working on my socials brochure right now. It's due on Tuesday. We only have one more night to work on it, which is tomorrow night. I still have to upload some of my pictures onto my website. Sorry for the delay! I was sooo busy for the past few weeks. Life is getting busier and busier nowadays. I miss the time when I used to have plenty of free time. Now when was that---perhaps when I was 4?

Yushhhhhh

I feel so proud of myself today. This morning I went to my harmony exam and it took me 3 hours to finish everything. Then rudiment in the afternoon and it took about 2 hours. Finally, I rushed to my piano teacher's Christmas concert and performed Aufschwung by Schumann. I did so much stuff today. I am really happy now that I don't have to worry about theory anymore until like April next year. Muwhahahhah. I can finally watch tv again! For the last two weeks I couldn't enjoy any entertainment. Now I is free. Oui oui. Well, partly free. I still have my piano exam in January. Ughghghghghgh...

Blog with Mom (7)

Mom: Mimi wanted to have some water lily root soup today so I cooked some for dinner. Then I sat in front of the computer and worked for almost three hours straight on one of my logo design project. I am suppose to make several samples and choose the best one. Designing is a lot of work, and it really takes a lot of time to think about the right color and such.

Me: I thought I was gonna fail math. But today I checked my percentage and I am like over 90 percent. Yayayayayyaya. The reason why I thought I was gonna fail is because of my slopes test. I don't really get slopes. I got really confused on whether the slope is positive or negative. Lolz. Anyways, I did terrible on that test, but she dropped my lowest quiz mark (she didn't drop the slope test because it was a test, she only dropped my worst QUIZ mark) so my mark didn't really go down that much. Hehehehhehehe. Small victory.

Blog with Dad (6)

Mom was tired today and didn't say much. So nao I am doing blog about mon pop.

Dad: So today my daughter was suppose to meet me at the Oakridge food court because she had to go to her theory class at 6:30. My wife was out for classes so no one was able to cook. Mimi and I had dinner at the food court and then we bused to the church where Mimi's class is at. Today was her last class before the exams. Her teacher corrected three of her practice tests and I am glad her harmony test score improved.

Me: Sigh....so busy this week and next week! Here's a list of things I need to accomplish for this week
Tomorrow: French test
Saturday: Harmony exam, advanced rudiment exam, piano recital.
Sunday: Award ceremony, Sunday School Christmas program

SO BUSY! MUST GET TO WORK NAO. SEE YA :P

Blog With Mom (5)

Mom: My daughter went to the St. George Debate today. Her dad went to pick her up so I cooked dinner. I also cooked some peanut soup for her. She came back almost 9:30. I thought the event would end at 7:30 but apparently they were not always right on schedule. Nevertheless, it was a very good practice for Mimi and a great opportunity.

Me: Ghahhahahah today I finally went to the St. George's Debate! At lunch I changed into my formal outfit. It was really intense and awkward to be seem in a dress...People were like looking at me and I was like -.- Anyways, I left school at 2:15 and Shanna's mom gave us a ride. When we got to St. Georges we waited for a while for the event briefing to start. Then we were introduced our resolution. I thought my team was on the affirmative side, and our resolution was something like : This House would establish an anti-bullying legistration. But then------something happened. So my partner Jason and I rushed to our room to prepare for our speech, and then there were two guys standing outside the room staring at us. I could hear them saying "Aren't we suppose to debate with the Crofton House girls?" Then I was like WHAT. Then the Crofton people arrived and we were just like O.o They told us that we've made a mistake because our school code was so similar, and that when it was displayed on the screen we probably mistaken theirs for ours. So we rushed back to McClean Hall and asked the host, and she got our right room. We were on the opposition side and we were facing two guys from private school, of which I presumed to be either St. George's or Vancouver College. They were really good speakers! I was a bit rusty for that round. Our opponents had some great points but their lack of respect for us really annoyed me. During our speeches they were talking to each other really loud and giggling. OH GEEZ! I was seriously annoyed. Jason addressed their inappropriateness in his speech and I hope the judge heard us.

For second round we debated a different topic, and this time we were on the affirmative side. Our new resolution was: This House would put strengthening the Canadian Criminal Code as priority (something like that). I think we did way better for that round! We were debating against University Hill students and they were not as strong as our opponents from the first round. I was more confident in that round. Our opponents went slightly off-topic in that round and went onto issues concerning the economy, education and homelessness rather than focusing on the given issue. Overall I think we did better in the second round.

Today had been a busy day and now I am just s exhausted! But the tournament was really epicly fun and I hope we can get another chance to do one soon! :p

Blog with Mom (4)

Mom: Mimi wanted me to get her a formal outfit for the St. George Debate Tournament so I went shopping this afternoon. I found this little suit (the jacket) and bought it. Mimi didn't come with me because she had debate meeting. I got the jacket home and she tried it on but the shoulder parts are too wide for her. So she borrowed one of my outfit. I just hope she doesn't ruin it. Mimi is not always very careful with her outfits.

Me: Today I went to debate meeting and then piano. Can you believe it? The St. George Debate Tournament is happening tomorrow afternoon! Oui, indeed my friend. Anyways, ma mere bought me a jacket for the event but unfortunately the shoulder part was a bit wide. But my mom said she's gonna save it for when I grow up. She said that I will grow taller and perhaps then I would be able to wear that jacket. But for tomorrow I am wearing one of her dress. I am not really a dress person and wearing a dress makes me feel girly but it's for my debate tournament. Although Mr. Hauck said we don't really need a really really formal outfit...well, I still wanna wear a formal outfit, because I think Debate Tournaments are sorta like really formal socials events. What's more, last time at the UBC debate tournament we were required to wear formal clothings. So yep.

Mom: Mimi asked me to buy a loaf of raisin bread and buns from St.Jermaine's bakery because she didn't want to eat the whole grain bread her dad made. Sigh. I've always told her that whole grain products are suppose to be healthy for her but she just won't listen. Oh well. I guess all kids are like this.

Me: Mom bought me some baked goods and they taste really awesome. Then I practiced piano and my mom criticized me while I played. I needed her opinion because my practical exam is in January and I wanna be prepared for that. Oh and I just finished the biography of Lang Lang! It's so.....well, I can't really describe it. But I've learned so much about the talented young pianists! And his dad...OMG. Such a cruel dad. I is scared of Lang Lang's dad. o.o

Blog with Mom (2)

Sorry I missed a blog yesterday! Well here's my interview with ma mere...

Mom: It's going to be a very busy week. Mimi has exams and a piano performance on Saturday and a Christmas program at Sunday School on Sunday. She also has to go to this award ceremony for a medal she'd won. Busy week for her. And now I am doing her chores such as washing the dishes because she's been busy all week.

Me: Nothing much really happened today. But then my mom made this hot soup for me. It has peanut and water lily root in it and I liked it very much. And then after I studied harmony and rudiment because I have exams next Saturday. I do not enjoy studying very much and I hopes I can just get it over with next Saturday.

Ma:

Mimi had a busy day today. She spent all her morning tutoring and the whole afternoon at theory. Then she spent most of the night tutoring again. Good for her because she can practice her time managing skills. She is going to take her harmony and rudiment test next Saturday so she must study very hard for this week.

Me:

I can't believe I am so busy these days! And I even skipped the blog for yesterday...well here's the make-up blog. Yesterday I had to study theory till like 11:30 because of my upcoming examine. Ehhehehehehehehee.e.........NuUUUUUUUUUUU JUST ONE MORE WEEK TO GO. And then winter break and me snooza.

Make Up Blog

Sorry! Yesterday night I came home pretty late from tutor...and my parents went to this Christmas party at my dad's company, so I couldn't use the computer. Well anyways, I slept pretty early too because I was so exhausted!

Well then, I should talk about things that happened yesterday. At English we witnessed the best epic presentation ever-----CALL ME SHANE. It's so beautiful. TONY KENDREW AILEEN JUDY JENNICA YOU GUYS ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Watch Call Me Shane:

I woke up this morning, thinking it would be the worst December ever. I have a sore throat and god my shot hurts :(. I had photography in the morning and started a new project. I uploaded my reflection project :P. Then for French we had to design an invention. My partner is Zoe. We invented this super duper awesome glasses that has plenty of cool functions. Oh. LUNCH. That reminds me of yesterday's lunch. Yesterday Kady wasn't feeling too well and it was so scary she was puking in the washroom---perhaps aftereffects from the shot. Now let's get back to today. For socials I was screaming at everyone. Lololololololz. Then for Applied Skills I shot scenes for English. I added some magic to the video, and the magic shall be revealed tomorrow at English :p. Then I went home and did magic for 3 hours.

I didn't wash my hair today and made my mom wash it. Lolz. She is a hairdresser. :o) She gave me a massage and it was so <3.
