Kitteh Day!

Occupied!

Gah I have sooo much work to do this week...no rest during le weekend! Theory test next next Friday and Saturday, piano rehearsal (four times, first time being next next Thursday), golf, tutor, math and a bunch of other things I don't wanna think about right now. Well, I guess in Pre-IB I will just get busier and busier...because that's just the way like is! Still, I would like to relax more during the summer...

So Cute and Clever

Three Clever & Funny Ads by a Belgian Bus Company

I got an email from a friend yesterday, and she sent me these three cute and clever videos!!!!!! MUST WATCH

Sorry...

I cannot believe it! I missed another blog yesterday! I was soooo tired after my golf practice...it was supposed to end at 9 but we ended at around 9:30pm. Lolz. Anyways, we did a lot of block practices and did a jog in the forest. It was really nice, but soon after dark it got really really cold. Gah. Today I am still very tired and I was so tired my hands were like meeeeehhhhh during piano class. I need to eat more and sleep more! But oh...there's moar theory homework tonight! How am I ever gonna finish! And right now I have to run because I have tutoring at 6:00pm! Nuuuuuu~~~~Busy Mimi has to go! Cya!

Rainy Day

We had to leave at 11:00am for our photography fieldtrip at Kits Beach. It was raining sooo hard! Honestly I was expecting good sunny weather, but oh well. I got Lillian to be my partner! WEEEEEEEE~~~~ We took pictures, with her posing and me taking pics. It was really fun, but we had to carry umbrellas because the rain was attacking us and we were just dripping wet. Poor Lillian! She had to take her shoes off for some of the pics! But it was great team work, and it was just really fun. Overall, if it wasn't for the poor weather, we could've had more fun. I wouldn't have to carry my umbrella while taking all the pictures. The water was a bit cold too. When we were taking pictures in this pile of beach rocks near the corner of the beach, thousands of beach flies just swarm up like crazy! We were like O.O Then -.- Lolz. Anyways, good day. After that we bused back to Canada Line and I went to Broadway to get Starbucks white chocolate mocha and a slice of hot beef ranch pizza. Mmmmmmm. Yummmmmy.

Garlic Bread

I had some garlic bread for evening snack. I couldn't use the oven because my mom hasn't cleaned it yet, so instead I used the microwave. The garlic bread tasted pretty good. What I liked about it is that it wasn't too strong (some garlic spreadings tend to give off strong smell and taste, but this one is okay). Then I had some yogurt. Right now I am sooo full and it's about like 10 ish. Evening snacks are fun! But it's not too good for me diet. Oh whatever. Mimi shall eat whatever she likes anytime in the day!

Why Are There So Many Things Due

I logged onto gmail and saw this doc Mr. Olson sent us. It says like presentation starting from the beginning of May. I was like O.O Wut wut. I've started my presentation already, but lately things have been jumping up and my schedules are just sooo pack! Why is May so busy! Let's see, I've got mah two theory tests around May 11th & 12th, my concert practices, my piano concert, my piano competition and a bunch of other things. Gah. I feel tired already! Well last week I was really busy too because I had a speech competition and today I was away with my student for a piano competiton and yeah...Oh and there were TWO debates in Mr. Martin's room today?! Darn. I missed them! Geez, I really wish I was there...I always love debates. Anyways, hope there's more debates left! These things are really fun.

Kitteh Day

Western Public Speaking Competition

I just came home from the Western Public Speaking Competition held at Collingwood school! Oh my, what an exciting day I had! I think our school was one of the two public schools (the other one being Port Moody Secondary) entered in this competition (among a bunch of other private schools: WPGA, Little Flower, Crofton, York House, St. George, St. John, Collingwood, Oak Bay) We had five rounds in total: 2 persuasive rounds, 2 interpretive reading rounds and 1 impromptu round. I was a bit nervous for the impromptu round, but at end when I got the result I actually did okay! I was in the top ten for Junior's impromptu round. Then other rounds I was being really enthusiastic, well----maybe TOO enthusiastic and expressive! Lolz. Again, the private school ppl sweeped the trophies and awards, but that's okay! I think I did great today! I had soooo much fun and it was actually easier than debate because you can just stand up and deliver a speech! The girl from WPGA named Samantha Starkey-----she is really really good! She took the Junior trophy! Congrats Samantha! I was in a round with her and she was just amazing! Overall, I had tonnes of fun and this is an unforgettable experience. :P

Soup Catastrophe

I was gonna prepare myself a yummy bowl of wild mushroom soup when I saw the unusual color of the soup in the can. Wild mushroom soup is usually kinda white (like the color of a button mushroom) but this soup looked kinda...light brown? I sniffed it and it smelled like...GARLIC. I looked at the label and freaked: It's wild mushroom WITH GARLIC! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I had to give up this soup to my dad and now he is enjoying the soup and I am just eating crackers. Nooooooooooooo next time I have to wear glasses when I am choosing out my soup.

Today

Today went by pretty fast! This afternoon we finished Mr. Olson's Quantum Stuff video and it was sooo cool! It really changed the way I thought about matter. I am really really interested in space and astronomy and all that kind of stuff now! I am really excited for our quantum project. All this science stuff is sooo new and sooo fun!

After school I did some golf. I found out I was getting a lot better than before! My wedge shots are improving bit by bit. I still have a long way to go, but I am getting better and better each time!

Gahhhhh

I can't believe it! I missed yesterday's blog!!! So sorry...I was really busy with my practice and I came home at 10:00pm and I was really tired so I went straight to bed. I am really busy this week! On Tuesday I had about five papers due and I was just like 0.0 But now it's a lot better because I've got these done! Now I just have a competition on Saturday and some normal daily routine stuff. It's always like this. Sometimes you just get one or two week where things are just sooooooo busy!

Socials Debate!

We had the epic socials debate today it was was a tonne of fun!!!!! I think our team did pretty good. I went first and then Austin and then Jason for rebuttal. Our resolution was focused on whether the teachers are getting fair treatments from government or not. We were the opposition (the BCTF side) and we had three big points followed by a lot of supporting examples. I think our speeches were solid and really good. It was soo fun going back and forth refuting Kevin's points. Lolz Kevin so enthusiastic. Austin did good refutation, and Jason wrapped up our opposition points. The debate went by so fast I didn't even realize it was almost over until Roy stood up and presented his speech. Lolz. Overall it was a pretty intense debate and probably one of the most exciting debates in the class. I think I did well because I was really enthusiastic and pumped and I delivered my speech with confidence. Yessss. Mission accomplished. Now, I just have to the do the speech comp on Saturday... :P

Capilano College Field Trip

We had a great field trip today at Capilano College! It was kinda hard finding our way to the rooms, but we did it! The whole morning we were doing brainstorming about DNA and we started a crime scene investigation activity. We were presented with a case of a dead woman found at the softball diamond with a bloody bat at the crime scene and we were asked to analyze a bunch of DNA samples from a list of suspects. It was quite fun and exciting! We got to use the pipette, this syringe/sucker tool that can draw up a small amount of liquid. It was soooo cool using the device and suck up small amount of samples from the little containers. At the end we played Jeopardy and it was really really fun and everyone was really competitive. Congrats Josh Kevin and Andy! You guys won the game! I think after this field trip most of us are ready for the upcoming test on Wednesday!

Sun Run!

Today we had the great Sun Run! The weather was good too, you know, not too sunny and not rainy either. The perfect running day. My and Viv and Fang stuck together for the run. It was pretty fun, although I must admit that my endurance level is going down....like A LOT :p Sigh....There were a lot of people and it was really cool. The music bands were singing for us which was really nice! There's this first nation band thing. I TOTALLY LOVE THEIR SONG. It goes like this: "Nooooo you are awesome! Yessssss you are awesome! You are awesome, you are awesome you are awesome" and basically they just chant it in a really monotoned style. Epic. Totally awesome!

We finished the run and went into Rogers Arena. Got some lovely juice and bagel and energy snacks. It was pretty crowded in there and there were long line-ups at each food station. Later on me and Leslie grabbed a bite at Macdonalds and went home.

When I got home I noticed that one of my socks had blood stain on it and I was like O.o So I took it off and saw one of my toe had a HUGE cut and it was bleeding. Well, not that much, but still, it was kinda...you know. I figured that I probably stubbed my toe during the run...not great. It has stopped bleeding now, which is good. I hope it heals soon!

Overall I've had a fantastic day today! I am definitely gonna do the Sun Run again next year!

Today...TIRED

Gah. I feel so tired today! As I have mentioned in my previous blog, I had a really exciting and energy-consuming day yesterday, and I experienced the after effect today. When I woke up this morning, my whole body was soooo sore I could barely get up. In fact, I couldn't do it the normal way (just sitting up) so I rolled around and rolled my legs down the bed so I could stand up. But my body hurt so much because I worked out too much yesterday -.-

The whole day was a bit tiring. After school I had to RUSH to my piano teacher's place because I had lesson at 3:30 (had to walk). I played the Yellow River Concerto and it was so difficult because my whole body was sore and I was not able to use all of my strength. That sucked. Then we tried other pieces but my body was drained of energy so it was really hard and stuff. The only pieces I had no difficulties with were the lighter pieces such as Grande Valse Brillante. But I love the Yellow River Concerto so much! At the end I figured it was close to class end so I used the last bit of my energy and managed to play a part properly. After that I was sooooo exhausted I almost crumbled to the ground. When I got home I ate a big bowl of mushroom soup to boost my body up and an orange for the sugar. That helped me a bit. I still feel kinda tired right now. I hope it gets better tomorrow!

Gah So Sorry

Sorry I didn't write yesterday's blog! I came home so late from golf practice and basically I was soooo tired I just crashed and slept 'til dawn. But....here's a make up blog! Let me tell you what I did yesterday:

PE-Badminton~~~~ I love badminton. We played two against one. Viv Alex against moi. They were being evil on me. Okay, first, one of them would hit the birdie really really close to the net so I had to lunge forward, and then when I hit back another one of them would hit it reallly really far so I had to run backward really fast to hit the birdie. Lolz. It was pretty fun and intense and Viv and Alex were really good and evil and at the end I was sweating a lot because I was running a lot the whole time :P

Then after school I played an hour of intense piano. I played my Yellow River Concerto and it used up 1/2 of my strength. Well..what can you expect from a piece filled with 95% of intense speedy octaves?

Then I had two hours of golf with my class from Wednesday! We did a test to see where everyone's at, and since I was the least experienced, I got the lowest mark. But that's okay! I only started golf like what, two months ago? The rest of the kids have already played at LEAST one year. I have a lot to catch up to. I was okay at chipping because I tied with two of the really good kids, but my putting sucked like -.- because I have almost no experience in it and yeah. Everyone did badly on the wedge shots because the ground was so flat and grassless and it was so easy to hit a "Fat" shot (basically you dig a hole in the dirt and the ball goes like blehhhhh) Lolz. It was really fun and everyone had a great time. I was really tired at the end though because we were so focused and that took up a lot of energy. That's why I came home and just slept without writing this blog. Lolz.

Work Out In Golf

Today I had my first formal day with the golf camp! My dad is putting me into this golf camp thingy and it runs 4 hours per week 'til October, and our main focus is to do competitions and tournaments. Anyways, I am the oldest of the four in our group, but that was okay, because I quickly made friends with everyone! WEEEEEE. Today was our fitness day so we had "circus training", meaning we had to do a series of fitness tests related to golf. Some of them were: two people standing on unstable balance boards and throwing a medicine ball to each other; two ppl passing an object to each other while doing side plank back to back, and etc. A lot of these activities were actually a bit hard and required some muscles. THE MOST AMAZING PART was when our teacher took us for a run in the Pacific Spirit Park (the HUGE park in UBC). It was getting dark and I wasn't wearing my glasses so everything was blurry and kinda dark. It was actually a bit...well, mysterious in the park as well because there were just the five of us (including the teacher). We had to run the course and it was raining pretty hard and there were just big water puddles EVERYWHERE. I almost ran into a tree. Hheheheheeh. It was like running Langara but I felt pretty relaxed and wasn't tired at all! That run in the park was like an adventure! Our teacher said next time we do a fitness test he is gonna bring his dog Bailey (Bailey is a big fluffy dog and loves running in parks). Hehhehe. Can't wait 'til tomorrow cuz we are gonna do some golf skill tests tomorrow!

Woot Badminton

I am enjoying PE a lot right now! We are playing badminton----one of my favorite sports! <3333 ME GUSTA. I love badminton because it doesn't really hurt my hands, unlike basketball or volleyball where there's a high chance of hand/wrist injury. I can also hit really far with my racket...well, sometimes a bit TOO far. Hhehehhe. I remember me playing badminton with my mom when I was in China. We played outdoor and there was no boundary, so we each hit as hard as we could with our rackets and sometimes my mom would hit a tricky shot (like extremely left) so I have to run for the birdie. Hhehehe. Those were the good times. Today we were really lucky too, because we got a whole court to ourselves, just me and Viv. We had such a great time! We were doing a lot of them tricky shots as well, and Viv is a really good player! Sometimes she is very sneaky. Sneaky Viv is sneaky.

Moar Pics

I think I might've caught the Carina blogging cold

Make sure you finish watching this gif!

Easter Pics

Ladybugs

Today I was just walking and something flew past me. A red dot. I was like -.- what was that. Then the red dot flew onto the ground and I saw it was a LADYBUG! :P Ladybug means arrival of spring. Lolz. I saw a couple more ladybugs on my way home. Flying red dots. When summer comes the trees are gonna be crowded with ladybugs! Last year I saw a lot of them just bunched together on this tree. There were even some orange/yellow ladybugs and some black ones with red dot (REVERSE COLOUR). Lolz.

Busking!

Today me, Leslie and Carina went busking! First we went to the apartments around Point Grey. We snuck in when someone opened the door. Muwahahahaha. We did two buildings and the third one we got a bit freaked out because when we snuck in we saw the sign that said "Do NOT Allow Anyone Without Key into Building" We were like O.o that means us. So Q.Q But we did come back a did some busking around the townhouses and earned about 15-20 dollars. Overall we got $161.02 Not bad :p

We sang My Girl and I played the Chinese flute and it was really fun. Some people really loved us performing for them and they invited us into their homes. There was this old lady who invited us in and I played a song on my flute and we sang My Girl and Amazing Grace. It was just really incredible because I felt like WOAH we were so courageous! She gave us money and three chocolate Easter eggs (one for each of us). So fun! Leslie and Carina, I just wanna say EXCELLENT JOB GUYS! WE ROCKED!

Fun Pictures

Spring Flowers

Today it was all nice and sunny so Mr. Olson let us take pictures of spring flowers outside! It was really good and I love spring flowers! Me and Alex and Jerry went around the school hunting for flowers. First we did the daffodils. I thought they looked like little elephants with big noses (the middle part of the flower looks like a long nose). Then we took pictures of the cherry blossoms. I had taken a lot of pictures of them before while I was on my way back from tutoring (that was during spring break). It was just sooo sunny and beautiful and really fun. The hyacinths looked sharp as well. I love the blue and pink ones! Soooo pretty! I am glad spring is finally kicking in, and I think we will definitely have more pretty-looking flowers in the summer!

Pasta Day

Today I brought some pasta to school for lunch. But when I microwaved them they tasted kinda...dry. Maybe it's just the sauce. I've seen Viv with mushroom pasta before, and she said her dad put mushroom cream soup with le pasta. Ooooooooo~~~~I have to try that sometime! I buy mushroom cream soup a lot, and I usually gobble down the soup so quickly it's like sluuuuuurrrrrrrrp. Tomorrow I guess I will have to go back to the burgers since they are easily and faster to cook. This morning I had to wake up so early to prepare mon breakfast! Q.Q Sleep.

Starfruit

I don't know why I am thinking about starfruits right now. We had a starfruit tree back in China outside our school. I trust you have tasted a starfruit before. When you cut a starfruit into slices they appear to been star-shaped. Quite cute actually. They taste okay for me. Do you know that starfruit flowers are magenta and smell + taste like starfruits? When I was in China my friends and I used to pick some flowers from the starfruit tree and eat it. Hehehhhe. I've seen starfruits here in Canada, but I don't wanna buy one because I don't think they will taste as fresh, probably due to the fact they were shipped here or something. Still, it's a fun fruit. Very good for fruit salad and dish decoration!
