Ooooo Antique Shops & Other Crazy Theme Furniture Shops

Today I had theory class and my mom and I decided to go shopping after class. Well, we hopped on no.10 bus and it dropped us off at...I don't know, but somewhere close to Broadway (btw we were on Granville Street). Anyway, there were a few interesting antique shops and furniture shops. My mom and I adore antique shops. There was one called "The Farmhouse" (I think) and I think it's an antique shop because the stuff it features tend to be in a time period of the 19th century and it was really cool because most of the furniture were either faded or scratched. Reminded me of the time when we visited my dad's oldest aunt and she had this beautiful wardrobe from the 19th century. Coolio. Then there was another antique shop that had the cutest antique lamp EVER! It's made of iron and it kinda looks like the walking lamp from the movie Spirited Away. The furniture there were all made of REAL WOOD. GOOD QUALITY WOOD.

Then there was another rock shop featuring crystals and big jugs and vases made of special rocks. There were also fossils there. I have tonnes of that stuff back in China. My dad bought them from Chile (I don't know why, and back then he bought SO MANY that a lot of them were damaged in his suitcases). Anyway, the quartz they were showing were HUGE. Gigantic. Very beautiful though.

AND OMG there was another furniture shop that captured my attention. The theme of the furniture shop was the wilderness and mechanics. The lamps there were absolutely gorgeous and similar to the other lamp I saw earlier at the second antique shop. The comfy chairs there had fascinating designs and god I really really wanted to get one but it says one chair costs more than a thousand bucks so yeah. O.O I think I would definitely purchase some of those furniture when I have my own little cottage by the lake one day.

It was an amazing trip------seeing all the antiques and furniture!

My Day----Aha!

We started out with French today. We had a French test and I was so scared but when Ms. Chuaqui presented the test to us I realized that it was actually pretty easy. So much for all the worries. I think I did a perfect on that test. =D

Anyway, for second period I had English. We handed in our eight poems and had book talks. MAN THE BOOK TALKS WERE LONG. We had at least five people going and their speeches were pretty long and Mrs. Greskiw had to cut them short. To be honest with you it was kinda tiring listen to all the book talks because they just went on and on. The books were interesting though. All the presenters did a very good job. But April got so emotional during her book talk because she related the book to a very personal issue. I hope she's okay... <:-O

After lunch we had Applied Skills and gosh we finally finished SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. It was such an awesome movie. I really enjoyed it and the good thing was, I finished my scarf also! I mean, not really, but I kinda finished it. I just bound it when I got home. So now I am on to my fourth scarf. Yesssssss.

For Math, we didn't do much actually. It was just some random chatting and work and stuff. When the bell rang, I went to my locker and met up with Asma. We walked home together.

That's my typical day 1. Not bad huh?

What a Freakin' Day

Wow. Second day o' school after spring break. I was really nervous today because I thought I'd lost my math homework but luckily I found it in my locker so that almost killed me. Anyway Ms. Fowler kinda checked our homework and man I am just glad that I found mine. For French I was fearing for a quiz but Ms. Chuaqui wasn't there so we were all safe. For English I was kinda scared of my book talk. I mean I was prepared, but still...well, I didn't get picked. So it all went well. I volunteered to go next Monday along with Jessie and Leslie. So next Monday you guys will have Andy, Jessie, Leslie and me going for the book talk. Anyway. Today isn't too bad. I am gonna eat some seaweed soup now. So bye!

And We are Still Not Done

So today I went over to Leslie's house again for our unfinished hydraulic project. She got the drill and the sandpaper we needed------it was great. We drilled holes for our wood pieces and nailed them into their correct places. LOL NOMNOMNOMNOMOM. One wood piece broke in half when we tried to nail it on the board. We had to make a new one and drill it all over again.When it was finished the whole structure looked great. However we still need to paint it. I guess we will have to do that next week, considering today the structure was totally soaked with water------our tube leaked and we still have to patch it up with tape. Mwuahahahaha...-.- Anyway our project is almost finished. Most of the parts are made of wood. I can't wait for us to paint it.

A Spooky Tale of the Shanghai Piano Shop

It disappeared. So sudden. Without any warning. It was just gone.


So today we wanted to go to this piano shop called Shanghai Piano Shop, right (yes to buy a piano)? But then when we got there it was GONE. There were TWO locations: one on Fraser Street and one in Richmond. Well first we went to the Fraser one but then we couldn't find it. When we FINALLY found the right address we saw nothing but a bubble tea shop. And god that bubble tea shop looked rather old, like it has been there for quite a while. So we got pwned. Then we went to the Richmond one and we found the right address but we saw nothing but a FLOORING SHOP. YEAH. JUST LIKE THAT. I WAS OUT OF MY MIND. MAN IT WAS JUST TOO DEPRESSING. WE WENT TO BOTH LOCATIONS, WASTED A LOT OF BUS TICKETS, LOST SOME CALORIES AND GOT NOTHING IN RETURN. WHAT A HAPPY ENDING....

Actually this is suppose to be T3 B2

Wow. I can't believe it's almost the end of term 2. Wow. Time went by soooo fast. I am growing old. I WISH I would get straight A's this term. But then PE always screws it up. Argghghhghghghghgh PE why do you hate me so much? Anyway, I THINK I am gonna get an A for English. Already confirmed for math, socials, AP and  science. What about Art? Mehhhhh, I am not really sure. I KINDA derpped off a little bit. But it's fine, i think. French...Yeah I think it's fine. What else...oh yeah that's about it. Eight subjects right? I am soooo worried right now. Arrghghghg feel the stress! The pain is unforgivable. Oh yeah another cricket escaped. I think that was not really relevant. Must...get...A's...in...order...to...become...a...proper..."A"sian.

IVE100

So today my mom took me to this IVE (opps is that the right name?) speech at a SAT tutoring center called IVE100. This dude, the speaker, talked for about three hours. He explained about how we should get our SATs done and stuff like that. Then he gave us examples of how people got into good universities in the United States and such. And then he's like this:"Many of you kids in Churchill only care about your marks. But really, you guys should do some volunteering works and join sport teams and blah blah blah." I was like O.o Wow. You've opened my eyes, Mr.Bo.
