Langara!

Today we did Langara! It was kinda unexpected but expected at the same time. Anyways, I was determined to get a better mark this time, because the last time I did it, I was having a fever and ran almost 17 minutes! Today I decided to follow Fang-yu, who is really fast and has good endurance. I was right. She kept me running and I told myself, "I MUST NOT STOP!" Then my legs just got all loose and I started to go past Fang-yu. I saw Andy and I wanted to catch up to him, and I did, and I went past him. I couldn't really stop my legs. Then Matthew caught up to me and we ran at the same speed. There was a point where he went past me but I caught up, but then close to the end my throat got blocked and I couldn't breathe so he went past me, and Andy did as well. They were fast! I still managed to finish the run with a time of 14:25. That's my best record since grade 8! I think I did really well with the run at my standard. We went back to the gym and on the way back, I checked the mark and 14:01-14:30 was 8.5, so I got an 8.5. Not bad for Mimi! I am really proud of myself!

Triumf

What a cool fieldtrip we had at Triumf! We got to see the ISAC I& II and the place was huge. There were so many machines and wires and high-tech stuff! I wish I had my camera with me! It looked like the stuff in sci-fi movies. I remembered the huge computers Dragon and Tigress. It's a wonder how they built these machines. I wish we could see the big disk-like thingy buried underground, but I guess it would be too radioactive for people without proper protection to be in contact with. Still, if was pretty cool! The tour was short and sweet, and without the tour guide we would never come out of the place! It's so big and filled with machines and stuff. Overall it was a good fieldtrip.

I got an aphid on a stick on the way back and named it Eugene. Me and Carina played with it for a while and I tried scaring Tony with it. At the end I accidentally dropped Eugene so he went somewhere on the floor in the bus on on the seats. He was too tiny and it was impossible to spot him. So I lost him. I was sad... But that was okay, because we got off at Oakridge and I had white chocolate mocha and saw LEGO and jumbo blueberries. These things really made my day, and Mido had a happy day!

Concert

GAHHHHAHAHHAH FINALLLY FINISHED LE CONCERT!!!!!! It was so fun! This afternoon before the big concert I had to go to the salon to get my hair done. It was soo cool because I got my hair curled (temporarily) and made into a pretty hair-do! OMG..0.oThen I had to do makeups so I don't look too horrid. It was like them drawing on my face. My teacher was like "apply fake eyelashes" and I had that as well, and it was my first time putting on fake eyelashes. They felt soooo weird at first, but eventually I got used to them. After putting my gown on and all that, we headed to the Roy Barnett Hall at UBC.

The concert started at 7:00 pm, but we had to get there around 5:00pm for our dress rehearsal. The symphony orchestra would work with us to first play a small excerpt from our concertos so we could test the piano and see if everything's alright. We all went backstage when the audience started filling in the seats. I was the seventh and the last before the intermission. I was a little bit nervous, but that was alright once I got to the piano. I got really really excited and hyper when I was playing, but I think I did great! It was a very wonderful opportunity to be able to work with the symphony orchestra and I was absolutely thrilled....and a bit tired as well after the performance. It is now very late, so I shall get to sleep nao. Talk to ya tomorrow!

Meme Day

Contacts

I wore my contacts to school today because I want to get use to them before my concert. It took me about 15 minutes to put them on. So many tries! The lens kept sticking onto my finger and wouldn't go into my eye! Ughhhhhh. But after a while I finally put the two of them on. YAY! It felt a bit weird at first, and my eyes were a bit irritated. I am still getting use to it right now. It's like having perfect vision! MAGIC. However I shall take them off before I sleep.

Sore

My whole body is aching so badly today. Yes, that's right, I am all sore right now. Yesterday I was feeling a bit tired already from the 1.5Hr of canoeing and 2Hr of golf and fitness (we did 30 burpees, a bunch of basket lunges, crocodile crawling, 20 alternating planks and 20 elbow-knee planks and a bunch of other intense activities). Today we ran 3 laps and my muscles were just not cooperating with me. Then we did soccer and again, I had 2 Hr of golf. I was stretching my muscle and we were doing some shots today. I feel like this is too much. This workout is getting outta hand. I am feeling very sleepy right now.

I am trying to save energy and not be too tired because I have a concert on Sunday and I don't want to wear myself out. Right now my arms and my back hurt pretty bad and I feel like I should get some sleep. Ugh. I don't like getting tired because I can't really do anything with my time. Now I must go to sleep because I am very desperate for rest. If I don't rest now I will probably wear myself out and collapse (I've done that before). So cya!

Woot

Yay! Today we went kayaking/canoeing at Deer Lake. What a wonderful Last Synergy 9 Get-Together we had! I misse it already. We had so much fun! The lake was big and Celinna, Vivian C and I were doing the three-people canoe. We got in. I was getting worried, because I didn't want to get soaked. I didn't, at the end. We started paddling, but our direction was all wrong and we were just like 0.o A lot of people were already so far ahead, almost at the other side of the lake! We were having trouble manouvering our canoe. But finally, we figured it out! We had Viv at the back, steering the canoe, while Celinna paddled on one side and me on the other side. We would take turn, so I would paddle after Celinna and we alternate our paddling so our canoe can go straight forward instead of turning in a circle. It was soo amazing! I've never canoed before, and that was totally cool! Later we got into the lily pad patch and I got a close up look at the lily pads. So cute. Afterwards we slowly paddled back and I got our canoe under a tree and Viv and Celinna were screaming in my ears to tell me turn the boat away so we wouldn't get stranded and get stuck. Luckily we didn't hit anywhere or got stuck anywhere. It was a nice afternoon and I just wanted to lie down in the canoe and stare at the sky. That would be so serene. Of course time passed by quickly and it was time to go. I miss this fieldtrip already! Synergy 9 is such a big family! :) I will miss everyone here, after we separate in grade 10!

OMG Gonna be another busy week

I can feel it. It's gonna be another busy week! I just finished my rehearsal and I am very tired right now. My eyes were not cooperating with moi while I was wearing my contact lenses, and the focus kept shifting while I was playing the piano, which was quite annoying and I couldn't really concentrate that well because my eyes were playing tricks on me. It was quite weird, because one second my eyes were doing pretty good and my vision was clear; the next second I see clouds on the keys. Ugh. Maybe it's just because I am not really used to my lenses. I just need to wear them more and make sure they don't bother me when it's the real performance.

We are going canoeing/kayaking tomorrow! I was just scanning through the boat rental website and it said something like "experience highly recommended for canoeing" LOL RIGHT I am gonna do so good with the canoe. But it's gonna be fun, because Celinna, Vivian C and I will work together to not flip the canoe over!!!

The bad thing is, after the party, we have a major chemistry test on Thursday. I am not looking forward to that. I am not gonna have a lot of time to study because tomorrow night I have golf. I just have too many things going on in my life, and I just miss the times of my childhood, when I actually had good amount of free time to myself, when I could just draw or tinker with stuff. Maybe this is part of growing up. :'(

Meme Day

It's rainy outside. What a day! Let me post some memes to cheer everyone up :p

Divergent

I just finished reaidng Divergent by Veronica Roth. It's sooooo gooooood! Dystopian thriller <3 OMG I love this book so much! The second book is called Insurgent (I am not sure if it's out yet) can't wait to read! It's good that I have some time to read some books nowadays, considering I've been so busy for the last couple of weeks I actually didn't have any time to read. Right now I am reading Matched (by another author), but I don't think it's better than Divergent. OMG. Divergent is just my type of bookies. I also recommend Battle Royale. Battle Royale > Hunger Games. Mr. Olson you should check these books out!

Today

It's Pro-D day today so we didn't have to go to school. I got to sleep in til 8:00 (calling that a sleep-in, eh?) and then I got up and ate breakfast. Then after that I did math 'til about noon and then we ate lunch. In the afternoon I went out with my mom to put up some concert posters. We went to the downtown Central library. While I was putting up posters, I noticed the science section of the library and there were so many coool books about scientific stuff with a lot of awesome images!!!!!!!! I borrowed one about fossils and another one about fruits. I was reading the entire way on the skytrain. Lolz. Lolz. The pictures of jackfruits and all them tropical fruits made me hungry. I LOVE JACKFRUITS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE FRUITS OF ALL TIME~~~~ Have you ever tried a jackfruit before? If not, you MUST GO AND EAT ONE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY IN JOY.

Sorry for the missed blog yesterday

I had a rehearsal with the orchestra yesterday. Our performance is next Sunday! I am so pumped. There's gonna be a lot of preparation going. I stayed from 7-10 pm last night at the rehearsal place because I wanted to see how other people were doing as well. I think I did good. It was a lot of fun, but a bit exhausting as well. I am having another rehearsal on Sunday and next Tuesday. What a busy schedule! Now now, let me move onto my blog about today...

Speed Golf

Before I go into golfing today, I would like to talk about my school day! It was pretty fun and we had a sunny day. I finished uploading my pictures for the ADAY.org time capsule. I am very proud of my photos! We also had a science quiz. I was really happy because I got perfect on it (small victory). Even though it's just a pop quiz it will still help me with my mark. We had soccer the last period and it was pretty fun, if my throat would just stop bothering me with all that coughing.

Now now, back to golf. Today we did speed golf!!! Our coach was training us to be fast and decisive when playing golf, because if you drag on for too long in a real game and you take too long to hit your shots, you get 2 shots penalties. I was like O.O My teammates were really good because they are more experienced. One of my teammate, William was really awesome because he hit pars (for all holes i think) and got the lowest time. That makes him the lowest score and lowest time, which was excellent (the lower the better). I was actually doing a bit better in the 2nd hole!!! But it was so tiring because I was running so fast back and forth and carrying my clubs. I think I did the worst in my last hole because I was exhausted and I was just dropping my clubs and tripping because my feet and hands were going out of control. It was pretty exciting but I was just really drained of all my energy. I feel like crashing right now and my knees are burning up because they got so overworked. We had to run all the way back to the teaching area and it was a long run, and I was like nuuuuuu. I almost had to do 20 pushups and 20 situps for not catcing up to my coach, but I didn't have to at the end because I told him I worked hard during my PE class and my piano hour. Overall I got some serious workout done today. Now all I need is a good night's rest.

Yay!

I finished the socials test today! I feel so proud. I studied like crazy yesterday and today when we were writing the essay part I was pouring the textbook out. Okay. Maybe a bit too dramatic, but I was very happy that I remembered a lot of stuff and wrote it down! I also did the math investigation thing with Viv after school, since we missed it on Friday due to our theory exams. It was pretty fun but I ended up rushing a bit at the end. Overall it was a good day. Tonight I think I might have some time to relax!

Ugh Tomorrow

Tomorrow is gonna be very busy for me...Ugh. I have some French stuff due and need to catch up on math (because I was away for theory) OHHH And I need to write my absence note. Just remembered that. Applied Skills wouldn't be too hard but socials is gonna kill. We've got a major test and right now I am studying like crazy. I really really want to go to sleep...but I don't want to get a bad mark on this exam so I have to stay up late and study. Sigh. When am I ever gonna get some rest and take one good day off?

Sunny Day

I think it will be summer soon! The sun is blazing so bright today it hurts my eyes. Lolz. I like sunny days because it just makes my mood all bright and happy. Because it's happy day....let me post some good memes and pics!!!!

Woot!

I finally finished my intermediate harmony exam today! I am sooo relieved. After the exam my mom got me mcdonalds and we went to Granville Island for this art show at Emily Carr University! Some of the exhibits were really cool, and I was especially drawn to this long doodle art work that's a bit creepy but FILLED WITH EPIC IMAGINATION! Just what Mimi likes!!! Weird drawings and doodles. While the art show was definitely a good treat, we also toured the Island. I think the last time we visited that place was a couple of months ago. I haven't had time to go out as much these days, due to my busy schedule. But today it was such an awesome treat! I was taking pictures. Yep! I brought me camera with moi!!! I took a lot of cool pictures and I will be posting them on the website when I finish organizing them. The best part was, WE SAW A SEAL!!!!!!!! A REAL SEAL!!!! A REAL REAL WILD SEAL!!!!!! It was just sunning its tummy at one of the docks. I was actually taking a picture of the goose that was floating on the water when I saw a floating "log" and I thought the "log" was pretty cool and decided to include that in the picture. But when I shifted my camera to focus on the "log", it turned out to be a SEAL!!! I thought it was a beaver, but it was a SEAL! It has whiskers, spotted body and slick tail (kinda like a mermaid's tail, so I knew it wasn't a beaver). It was soooo cool, because I've never seen a wild seal before! I think it would be rare for wild seals to be spotted at such crowded place! I took a picture of him (I think) before he looked at me with his lazy eyes and did a flip and dived into the ocean. AWWWWWWW. But that was definitely my highlight of the day. Spotting a wild seal was so fun!

Sunny Day

I fininshed mon history exam today! YESSSSSS Now I have to take harmony 2 tomorrow. Nuuuu. Well, at least this one is done! Today is extra sunny which is good. After the exam I got two slices of pizza and a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks. I am sorry for not writing a long blog today, because I have to study some harmony as well! I hope tomorrow's blog will be longer, since I would have more time to write! That's it for today! Sorry for my short blogs, but I've been really really busy lately. I guess this is part of growing up!

Another Missed Blog

I am very sorry, but I've been missing a lot of blogs lately! Yesterday I couldn't write my blog because I was still sick and came home late. Anyways, let me talk about yesterday. It was very bad, because it was when my sickness was just like BOOM. My throat was very very sore and I even had some difficulty breathing. I almost coughed my lung out. I hate being sick because I feel really uncomfortable and can't even eat anything other than vegetable porridge. I went to bed as soon as possible yesterday night because I wanted a good night's sleep to get enough rest. That seemed to work because today I am feeling a lot better! I think by tomorrow I will make a full recovery. My throat and nose are still a bit under the sickness but that's okay, because if I drink a lot of water that will help with the recovery :p

Sick....

Okay I am seriously sick. I don't feel like doing anything right now. I don't want to sleep, but I don't want to stay awake either. What do I do?!!!!!! My nose and my throat are suffering so badly right now. I feel so bad. A lot of people are getting sick these days. I hate getting sick because my body goes all weak and I feel so weak and useless! Now I can't even touch my favorite foods and snacks because these will just iritate my throat more and make it burn like asdasudhasudhsuhd.

Sick.

Guess what. I am sick. Again. Last time I was sick was when we were doing our Langara test for term 2. I started feeling a bit weird yesterday, and today when I woke up it was like dizziness~~~~ I got to school and I felt really feverish and I was both cold and hot at the same time. My nose was stuffy and my throat was really irritated. I was basically like a zombie for the rest of the day. Ughhhhh. I am a bit scared because this could turn into another bad fever for the night. But oh please! Don't. I have work to do and this is one of the busiest weeks in the month!!! I have two theory exams this week...so please don't let me get sick!!! Now I must drink a lot of water. I don't want to eat any sweet stuff right now because they might irritate my throat more and make everything worse.

Gah Sorry

Really sorry! I couldn't blog for the past two days because I was just immersed in my theory studies! I had to cancel tutor for this week so I can study for my two exams. Normally people would start studying like a month before the exam, but for me, I could not! Weekends were always packed for me. Right now I am making cheat sheets so I can study and test myself. Sigh~~~~~ Next Friday and Saturday, here I come! Gotta get back to studying so sorry for the short blog! I promise it will be longer once the exams are over :P

Golf Course

Today we were on the course! I think we played at least four holes (in about one hour and a half-ish, minus the walking and stuff). It was soo fun and it was my first time to really play on a golf course! For the past few months I've been doing a lot of driving range practices and occasionally some putts and that short-game test, but that was it. Today it was a real experience! Woot! I teed off (couldn't remember which hole we played first) with my hybrid. It was my first time using my newww hybrid! Because I haven't done a lot of full swings before, my shot sorta went off the faraway, but it wasn't too off so that was okay. Then I used a 7 iron and got it closer to the green! It was sooo exciting because I was very new with my clubs and it was also my first time playing formal golf on the course. The second hole I did a good tee off, but then when I was trying to get it onto the green I hit the golf ball under this tree! That was sooo weird, and kinda funny as well. So I was trying to get the ball under the tree onto the faraway. I could barely fit under the small gap under the tree and I couldn't swing that properly because I was literally stuck in a cage of branches. But I managed to pitch it onto the faraway! Woot!

Later on we hit more holes and it was quite fun, but I realize I need to work more on putting and my drivers/hybrids! Also I need to practice more on setups and directions and stuff like that. Overall, I had a very good day and golf was very fun!

Apologies

Gah. This is bad. I am writing this blog past 12 am!!! Noooo it's Wednesday already! But last night (which was like what, an hour ago?) I was busily working on my AP presentation and French stuff. Got back from golf at around 10:00pm. Ohhhh and I bought a new set of golf clubs from U.S Kids Tour Series!!! My own golf set <3333333 When I get better I am probably gonna buy another set (woman set, but different brand?) Anyways, fun stuff today, we did a lot of bunker (sand pit) shots and it was so fun and I found this worm and one of my friend just put it on one of the golf balls and whipped it away. Then something fell into her shirt and she was so scared because she thought it was the worm that had fallen from the hit Lolz. Then we did putting and it was fun to use my new putter. My new club set is really nice and I hope I can practice a lot with it this weekend! But I guess not...since I have the upcoming theory exams. But that's alright. I have lesson tomorrow and next Wed and Thurs. Then next Sunday I can probably go out and play since there would be no more theory exams until the summer. May is a super busy month!

Work Day!

My writing class got canceled today because my teacher was sick. Now I have some time to work on my assignments. Right now I am doing my science skit, which is due tomorrow. I also have to finish my AP presentation before Thursday. I have so much work these days! Why~~~~And I have to study theory. There's only one week and a half left so I really need to get the most out of my time. I really do hope I get a good mark for theory! My busy schedule is shaping me into a more mature person! I have to literally plan out my day so I can fit everything in!
