Sad Story

This morning I read a really really sad story on one of those Chinese newspapers. It's not a real event but still...sob sob. Anyway it's about a son and a mother. The mother is very very old (like eighty something), and her daughter died. The daughter's husband kicked her (the old mom) out and took all her money and disappeared. The old lady's son took his mother in and he plans to give his mom a good time. However the son's wife dislikes the old lady very much and she just mentally abuses her everyday, and finally, she tells her husband that his mom must move out. The son is very conflicted but has no choice. He loves his mom very much, but he also wants to keep his family together. The mom understands her son's worries and decides to move out immediately. The son finds a nice place for his mom but the old lady thinks about her son everyday 'cuz she is always alone. At the end the son divorces his wife and his family breaks down in hatred. The story's last lines were: He sat down and ate his food, while watching a happy family at the other end of the restaurant. There were a young couple with their little daughter and her granny, and they've all got smiles on their faces. He looked down again, and finished his meal with bitter tears.

Phewwwww~~

Anyway, for PE this morning we played moss ball and I had to sit down for the second round because I was feeling kinda nauseous. But later we played handball and I was able to play for a bit. It was really fun.

For art we basically did free art Friday with watercolor. I haven't learned how to handle it yet, but heck, I can still experiment.

For socials we had the humungo test. It was actually not too bad! However I did make two careless mistakes on the questions 0.0 Hhahahhaha. The past few days I've been (almost) copying down stuff from my textbook and notes. Today I felt very confident before the test and all went well.Phewwwwww. I liked the way Mr. Sale drew his Castle de Sale. LOL. His castle's brattice looked like a strip of bacon.

So Sorry I Have To Write This Today

This blog was supposed to be written yesterday. But I had a bad bad fever yesterday night and went to the emergency section of the children's hospital and we stayed till like 11'o clock. Man I was burning up. My temperature before I had the Tylenol pills was 39.5 Celsius. The doctor says that my fever was caused by viruses.I am staying home today because I am still very sore and I have a severe headache. I can't eat properly because I have a wisdom tooth growing for some reason and my gum hurts on the inside. Ughghhhh. My friend Asma phoned me and told me that the track meet has been moved to the 16th. GOOD. I was soooo worried about the track meet, but since it's been postponed, everything is gonna be fine. Now I have to study for my socials test even though I am still pretty sick, but I think I will come around tomorrow and be ready for school.

My Parents Admit That I Am Indeed a Fat, Non-Athletic Loser

Well, maybe I exaggerated a little, but my performance today at the oval was...well, just go ask my parents.We went there for my track practice (TRACK MEET THURSDAY PPL), and first we did an 800-meter run. It was a pretty normal fast jog---no competition whatsoever. Then we went to the sand pit and practiced long jump. My dad jumped like five meters and I only jumped like three meters and something. My mom said that my legs look so fat and they jiggle when I run...O.o My dad was like "I AM AN OLD MAN (he was just joking. He's like 46 years old...so not really old, eh?) AND I CAN DO BETTER THAN YOU. LOL". Then we did the 100-meter dash and my dad sprinted like a wild horse. I tried to run as fast as I could but my dad was so far ahead...dude I have NO IDEA how he ran so fast. Seriously. I am not really a slow runner, but my dad was incredible. My mom said I looked so chubby and I looked like one of the people from Biggest Loser trying to move their huge body and she also said that I looked like a big fat ball of swinging blubber =.= Unfortunately I am not that fat (wait, AM I?!) Anyway. It.was.hilarious.

EH~~~

Sooooo yummy. Root beer. Yes......with sour cream and onion chips...delicious.

Sorry. I was having a nice afternoon snack. Oh, I forgot to mention the chocolate soft cookies (they are cookies but they are soft, like bread)

So FULFILLING~~~

Today's blog is gonna be very, very short because I want private time to enjoy my yummy food.

What are you still doing here?! Go to your fridge and have a fiesta! =D

I.AM.EXHAUSTION.

Dude!!!! I feel so exhausted today! First I had Sunday School at my church at 11:30 and we left aat 12:30 and went straight to a piano concert in Richmond. The performer was this guy from St. George School and he is in grade eight and he played like 13 pieces for us and it was really incredible, although I found some mistakes he made (such as accidentally going off the note, wrong style for the piece, etc) LOL but I have to admit it was pretty awesome for someone his age to be able to perform SO WELL at a solo concert. He was so coooollll.

The concert lasted about an hour and a half and we went straight to Richmond Centre for my formal gown for an upcoming piano recital. We shopped for like two hours for a dress. Finally we found this dark, dark blue dress that's like all the way to the floor and it looked absolutely classic and beautiful so we bought it. I didn't choose the other dresses because they were either too coloful for a formal recital or too...exposing. Then we went to T&T and bought a bottle of root beer and some mangoes. It was awesome. Then we waited for our bus and finally got home at about eight.

Phewwwwwwwww... I am so tired right now. Oh, I still have to read my science textbook and print out my speech for tomorrow's siege weapon presentation. Better get to work~~~

Okie Done!

I am so happy right now.We are finally finished our socials siege weapon project! Woot! Leslie and I worked on the weapon design while Jessie, April and Vivian worked on the script. High Five everyone! Just to reveal a little secret here...our weapon is based on a trebuchet, but is A GAZILLION TIMES BETTER. The project was really fun since all of us have sinister minds when it comes to a situation like this and heck I think our slogan for the thing is: ~~~~Killing, Just Got Easier.Cool eh? I think that if we put the design into the real thing and use them during the Middle Ages it would probably do a lotta damage. Just saying~~~

Have to practice speech tomorrow at lunch (for the first and final recital, since we couldn't get together during the weekend or anytime else...) Wish us luck! Man am I EXCITED!
