Heyyy


Just to drop in and say heyyyy. It’s been a really long time since I blogged. Sixth grade is okay, but believe me, the classes are way too long. I mean, ninety minutes for each core class????? It’s really surprising that I didn’t fall asleep in any classes. Okay, I almost did one time in science, but that was only because we were watching BILL NYE THE SCIENCY GUY (BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!) (:

They cancelled school today because they thought that there would be a typhoon, but like, it’s sunny today. With blue skies and white clouds. Basically, we got a free holiday. The bad thing is that we were supposed to have our pizza party today because of the twenty five posts thingy. Mr. Hanlin, if you’re reading this, is it gonna be tomorrow or something? I already got sick of the school lunches, so I desperately need some good food for lunch. (:

Okay, well, I gotta go work on my español project, so,

BYEEEE!!!!!!!!!

♥(= Last Post =)♥


Hey. This is probably going to be my last post for fifth grade reasons. (:

Today was the first day of school, and let me just tell you one thing. Time was passing sloooooowly… REALLY sloooooowly… In fifth grade, you arrived at school, you took some lessons, you had recess, you had lunch, and school was over before you knew it. Today, I kept glaring at the clock because I swear, it was taunting me. One minute felt like ten, one hour felt like 3 hours. That might be because we had all four core classes and two specials, but during the core classes, we just basically listened to the teachers talk about what to do in middle school, rules, dress codes, and all that boring stuff. I swear, I almost fell asleep during science. We have science homework. On the first day of school. We’re supposed to go to BrainPop and look at this video about the Earths’ Atmosphere, then write down stuff on a worksheet that Mr. Anderson handed out to us.

I finally got my locker to open really quickly. There was just this one time after lunch when I was trying to get my locker to open to get my binder and pencil case,(I got a new case, it’s pink, Roxy, and about half the size of a normal Gambol notebook with a large white Roxy logo stamped on front) and then it got stuck. It was almost time to get to the band room, so I started pulling at it with one hand while turning the lock with the other hand. It finally opened, after about seven tries. And Andrea was telling me the whole time to hurry up and get my stuff, but it wasn’t my fault the locker wouldn’t open!

In actual size, the middle school is a lot smaller than the elementary school, but it’s so confusing to get around. I keep on forgetting where all the doors are and where the band room was, so like, I didn’t exactly get lost but  I wasn’t exactly sure where everything was. I know where all the sixth grade classrooms are now, it’s just that I just forgot where the Spanish room is. I just remember that it’s next to Ms. Redpath’s room. I think it’s somewhere downstairs…

Candice and I went to see Mr. Hanline yesterday, and I found my desk again. There’s this HAH smiley face thing on the side, which I didn’t draw and have no idea who did. I discovered that there was still a lot of paper and tape on and under my desk, so I scraped most of it off. Earl’s still dead, by the way. (: I miss fifth grade soooo much. At least I’d get to hang out with my friend’s during class. ):

Got to go, maybe I’ll blog tomorrow. (:

BYEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I’m writing from the plane right now while waiting for the plane to take off. Of course, I’m not on the internet, which is why I’m writing on Microsoft Word and publishing this post when we land. I hate it when flights are delayed. It just wastes your time, and they still insist that you stay on the plane and stay in your seat, which isn’t very comfortable right now, due to the facts that:

a)      The seat’s really… straight, and I get dizzy if I lean the seat too back.

b)      There’s this ‘large’ guy in front of me who keeps pushing his seat backward and crushing my laptop.

c)       It’s cramped, and my legs just fell asleep again for the third time, which really bugs me.

d)      It smells bad here, like airplane food and that icky airplane smell that I really hate a lot.

There are a lot more other reasons, but that would make me sound like a spoiled brat. (:

Ugh, I’m mad at the person in front of me. He just leaned back his seat, so now I’m even more cramped and I can’t use the table which is why my legs just fell asleep again, because my laptop’s on my legs, which are squished between the seat bar thingies.

Wow, I just started hating planes even more. I didn’t even think that was possible before, but my hatred still grows every time I’m on a plane. I get a teensy bit airsick, but I never throw up. I haven’t thrown up since like, almost a year ago, when I was sick and threw up in the toilet. (: That was a few days before my birthday. Not a very good way to celebrate your ‘brithweek’, is it?

Ugh, it’s already been forty minutes and the plane still hasn’t taken off yet. I mean, they’re serving lunch now, which I will not eat because like a lot of people, I despise airplane food. The bad thing is that I’m actually hungry, since I didn’t have much breakfast.

Okay, so I’m gonna start my next post now..

BYEEEE!!!!!!!!

23rd Post


I’m going back to Shanghai tomorrow, which is making me sad. ): I don’t wanna leave Hong Kong and my friends. ‘Cause like, I’m not coming back again till December. Argh…

Anyway, I don’t really know what to blog about now…

I got new headphones. (: My old pink ones with the white star kind of broke, and I can’t hear in one of the ears. I got new headphones, which are, of course, light pink with white patterns. It’s not as big, but it’s comfortable and it has a microphone. It’s cool. I love it. (: It can also go a lot louder, which is good since Karson’s music is always incredibly loud, even with all the doors closed. Seriously, he gets a stereo and I don’t?!

Enough with the complaining, so-

BYEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

22nd Post


Hi again. (: I still have four more posts, so I’m frantically blogging when I have spare time. This summer, I’ve learned that it’s really hard to blog when you know you also have the other option to have fun. (:

Wow, I just visited Mr. Hanlin’s blog, and the post with the pictures of the empty classroom ready for next years’ students actually made me sad. I miss fifth grade a lot. ): Argh… I really don’t wanna go to school now.

Two days ago Sabrina and I went to Elements for a movie and ice skating, and it was fun. :) After my mom dropped me off at Elements, since it’s actually really far from home, Sabrina and I went to buy the tickets for Step Up 3D, which is a really good movie. We had to wait about half an hour until the movie, and in that time, Sabrina managed to lose her ticket. In a bookshop. When we were buying magazines. So then we had to ask the people there to reprint her ticket, and we rushed into the theater five seconds before the movie started. We also had popcorn and Cream Soda, but of course, we didn’t finish the popcorn. Who ever finshes a bucket of popcorn? I’ve never finished a bucket of popcorn before. After the movie, we walked around the shopping mall and chatted a bit, then headed over to the ice rink.

After we payed to go inside, we got a locker, then stuffed all our stuff inside, pulled on ice skates. Not a lot else to say, except that I fell on my butt at one point, but that was the only time I tripped. (: Sabrina’s awesome. She can go really fast, but like, I can only go normal speed. (:

After about an hour of ice skating, we were gonna exit the ice rink, but then we found out that you have to pay like, thirty something with your octopus card to go out. My octopus card had run out of money, and Sarbrina’s card ran out of money right after she got out. They didn’t let us use cash, so she had to take my card and put money in it for me. Heh. I had to pay her back. (:

Then we went to Starbucks, got a frappucino and a hot chocolate, talked for a while, then left on the MTR.

BYEEE!!!!!!!

I’m still really sad over the fact that I’m in GOLD this year, because like, hello? ALL MY FRIENDS ARE IN RED. And Jason, Candice also got Ms. Hymes for homebase. Ehmagawd, whoever’s in red is SERIOUSLY lucky. I’m going to be lonely, which is not a very good thing seeing that I like being with my friends in class. My mom said I should take band/percussion this year, since the drama teacher’s like, S-T-R-I-C-T STRICT and never gives anything higher than a sixty, which my mom said would bring down my chances of getting into Honour Roll or High Honour Roll. But like, I don’t really play an instrument except for piano, but Karson says if you’re in percussion, you don’t really have to learn a specific instrument, which I’d like. The thing is, Mom says we have to audition, and I always mess up at any kind of auditions… ):

And I’m also mad at the fact that there’s a dress code. Have I mentioned that before? Anyway, even if I have, I’m going to complain more about it. How can I not wear short shorts and tank tops? Isn’t it unfair? I don’t wear just shorts. I don’t even think I own a pair that I don’t use for exercise! Well, except for the denim ones, but wearing denim when it’s forty degrees outside isn’t possible. It’s even too hot to wear in Hong Kong, and the weather’s awesome here. Like, thirty five- thirty eight degrees with lots of wind. Right now I’m at home in Hong Kong watching my mom and brother pack up stuff, since my mom insisted that I blog. We leave to Shanghai tomorrow, which I actually like and don’t like. I can’t wait to see my dogs and friends again, but I really don’t wanna go to school.

Anyway, moving on to better subjects…

Summer’s been great, especially the part when I’m in Hong Kong. I had lots of fun every day, except for rare occasions when I stay at home and do nothing.

BYEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karson’s been showing me some funny videos on YouTube lately, most of them to do with cars, but a lot to do with failed attempts to either park the car, go through one of those spinny doors, and lots of other stuff. Oh, you guys HAVE to watch this video of a Korean guy singing Touch My Body by Mariah Carey. There are subtitles of what he’s really singing, and it’s hilarious. (:

There’s also a video of Valentina, a Bulgarian woman, singing Without You, also by Mariah Carey. It’s like, her English was so funny that one of the judges actually asked her what language she was singing. Seriously. Just type in Ken Lee, which is what Valentina called the song, and click on one of the links. It’s sooo funny. (:

I just found out that I’m in Gold, but apparently, according to Karson, sixth Red is better cause you get Tafel and Hymes, and it’s easier to get good grades, but I don’t really care.

So…

BYEEE!!!!!!!

P.S- seriously, WATCH those videos.

Seven days. One week. SEVEN DAYS/ONE WEEK UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN. ): It makes me so sad to think that I have to wake up before seven a.m. because of SCHOOL. Anyway… moving on to brighter topics-

- It was Rosemary’s mom’s birthday yesterday, and we’ve been ‘celebrating’ since like, last week. Well, at least the parents. We, meaning me, Rosemary, Karson, and Hendrex(Rosemary’s brother), just stayed at their apartment gaming and playing Monopoly. And that was for more than a week, when they went to Macau overnight, then Shenzhen. So yesterday, after dinner, we went to CEO for karoke, which was really fun. There were thirteen people there, so we got a big room. (: The parents and other adults just liked singing erm… older… chinese songs, but like, don’t modern English songs sound MUCH better? This morning when I woke up, my throat hurt from singing and screaming last night. We were all screaming/singing this line from a mandarin song. The line was: “I love you”, and the tune was actually really nice, but with all thirteen of us screaming that line, we sounded like a pack of wild banshees. (: And then somebody chose the song Nobody, so everyone was dancing and it was REALLY weird. Rosemary was gonna choose this other song, but accidentaly chose a Chinese opera song. Lemme tell you that it’s NOT  a good, or healthy, thing to listen to Chinese opera.

EHMAGAWD!!!!!!! Andrea just emailed me saying that she’s in the Red team. Apparently, you can see what team you’re in if you go to Powerschool, but I forgot HOW to go to Powerschool….

I guess I’ll finish this post now, so..

BYEEE!!!!!!!!!

The weather forecast says that it’s gonna rain soon, but it’s still stuffy and incredibly hot. I’d rather it to be hot without the stuffiness in the air and the rain than the air being hot, stuffy, and rainy. Wouldn’t you? At least there’s AC, but if it’s raining outside and the sky’s gray, it just brings a down to your mood. So does the glaring sun shining through the window so that you can’t see the screen on your laptop when you’re blogging (me), or when you’re playing XBox on the T.V(Karson), or when the sun’s so bright that when you’re reading either the newspaper (Mom), or a book (me), it actually hurts to look at the words. Does that ever happen to you? It’s incredibly annoying.

I know that I probably shouldn’t complain about summer when we only have a week and a half left of freedom left before we have to go back to learning, but the weather makes me like this. You know, complaining about everything.

I’m still kinda addicted the playing Sims 3, but hey, it’s fun. Especially with cheats, since then you can pick up people and dump them wherever you want, you get lots of money, you can buy other stuff that you can’t without cheats, you can kill people by locking them in a doorless room (okay, I don’t do that, but my friend Rosemary does. So does Karson) , and like, lots of other stuff. I’ve tried playing without cheats. It’s REALLY hard. (: Seriously, if you’re gonna play, why not use cheats?

So I’ll blog tomorrow…

BYEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer passes so quickly when you’re on vacation, and we have less than two weeks before we have to start school again. Argh. School. I’d rather to sleep in everyday and sleep at three in the morning that go to school and LEARN. I mean, if I didn’t have to wake up at six thirty in the morning every day, be downstairs for breakfast at seven, and be at the bus stop at seven fifteen, then I’d actually be okay with school. Why can’t they make summer vacation three months long? Then at least we’d have more time to relax before having to start school again, right?

And during vacation, parents choose to give you work to do and lessons to take. Isn’t the whole point of summer vacation to relax and take a break from school? I mean, seriously? I’ll never understand why people make you work during vacation.

The good things about summer are that:

1) The weather’s mostly sunny and blue skies so that it’s nice to go outside when it’s not too hot.

2) You get to sleep in, which is AWESOME.

3) You get to sleep way later, after midnight.

4) You can travel to different countries and have fun without having to think about school.

The bad things about summer are:

1) Sometimes the weather’s too sunny and hot and you’re lucky if you don’t collapse of heatstroke.

2) Since everyone’s split up and all around the world, you don’t get to see your friends nearly as much as when you’re in school and you can see them everyday if you want.

3) Sometimes, summer gets a teensy weensy bit too boring and you don’t have anything to do, so you turn into a couch potato, eat too much junk food, and get fat.

4) Again, the work that people give you to do when you’re trying to relax.

Since my brother’s making me give up the modam, the thing that we use for Internet in Hong Kong since the WiFi is pretty weak, I’m gonna go now.

BYEEE!!!!

P.S- Make the most of of the remaining summer, cause you only have a week and half left.
