YAY YAY!! GUESS WHAT? I FINISHED MY SCIENCE FAIR POSTER BOARD!! WHOO HOO ... actually, i finished everything but the title. well, there's the summary to consider, but i really think there's not much to do after this. i think my board's a little cramped tho. not as much as last year's first board, but definately much more cramped than my second board. should've lessened on the text. actually, i really dont have that much text. theres 6 graphs in total, and i cant stick them together like i did last year.
huh...gonna take a shower and go to sleep. nighty

uhmm we watched movies all day. except socials. it was rather nice. and when i got home, anne and i watched pan's labrynth. its pretty good.
i did some pasting of my science fair, then played some piano. its amazing how dull and routinely my life is. it's always...homework, tv, piano, shower, then sleep. maybe something exciting should happen - ahem - CAMP!!

another loong long day. i borrowed about 7 of agatha christie's novels, a sherlock holmes collection, and...you guessed it! - its a piano sheet music booklet! i thought everything was rather easy, but it has a lot of famous songs in it.
i intend to read the agatha christie books right now. goodbye. :D

i think im really making progress with my science fair project. ive finished the background for my board already!! now, all i have to do is my summary, which would prob take an hour at the most..
im feeling extremely productive. so far, i have finished 3 tuques, all my science homework, 3/4ths of my science fair, and...i got my parents to sign al lthe forms! oh and therse no chinese school this week yay :D
once again, in this blog entry, i shall claim my love to chopin. this time, i shall have u listen is nocturne in e flat major. its so beautiful, no words can describe it. when i listen to it, i feel like i need to cry, tho i think its more like a love song. actually, i dont noe, but it sounds soo...heart-felt. again, i love this song like no pop/rock/jazz/rap/techno/blues/etc. song.

this korean guy plays pretty well. so does his brother. they both won 4th place in the chopin international piano competition. that is, they tied for 4th. LI yundi got first in 2000 :D

Oh no oh no!! i didnt duplicate my experiment. actually, i was aware that i had to do my experiment at least 4 times to be accurate, but i didnt have enough time. i mean, why would i spend 120 hours on just doing the experiment alone? i cant do that!! but it seems im gonna loose marks for it. :'(
i wonder what jessica is doing for her experiment? she was going to do surface tension at first, but she said she'll change it. i havent heard about what she is changing it to, so im worried that she'll stick with surface tension.
one good thing about today is that i finished my whole writeup!! now i need to edit. extensively edit the information that doesn't make sense. aargh. and i need to do my board. my mom has be extremely mad at me today cuz i pronounced that i hated chinese but was forced to take it. i really didnt mean that, but they were forcing me to memorize all these words that take hours to fully understand. and another reason is that i keep on playing a song on the piano that my teacher didnt assign me. they said, sure, i could play the piano, but play the songs that the teacher is teaching me, cuz they have to pay her 40 dollars a week. I MEAN, COME ON, why cant i play a song that i enjoy/am not sick of?? oh by the way, the song is fantasie impromptu, composed by chopin. I LOVE CHOPIN. I REALLY WISH I CAN TAKE 30 YEARS OFF BACH'S LIFE AND GIVE IT TO HIM. but fantasie impromptu really is quite hard. but the harder it is, the nicer it sounds to me. cuz its challenging and fast :D:D u should try listening to it. oh by the way, i love li yundi's playing too. it just so happens that i love chopin a bit more. he composed the music; li yundi is only the messenger that sends the message out better than others. u can think of it this way: chopin is the writer, li yundi is the reader. even if the reader reads EXTREMELY well, without the writer, the reader is nothing.

Fantasie Impromptu

this is multimedia blog day. for once, im not giving u a picture. i tell u, LISTEN TO THIS SONG. i have fallen in love with it, and so should u.

wooaah. i actually finished something today.
:D:D
i finished my analysis and background info. now, for the conclusion and post-project discussion. ... -_-" that's a little bit hard.
its 1:20 now. im planning to start playing the piano at 4 oclock. that would give me 3 hours to practice. that would make up for the fact i went shopping for clothes yesterday instead of playing the piano and coming back from that stupid IB exam on wednesday and being too tired to play the piano. actually YOU KNOW WHAT? im calling my mom. too tired.

whoo hoooo short day today. 1 hour longer to do whatever i like. actually, i did joyce's experiment at lunch today. onions dont make me cry. they made me cry 0.02g of tears. ..hmm
my science fair mess has already started. i would have to bear with this mess for another 1 1/2 then its over. OVER i tell u. OVER OVER OVER OVER OVER. well, not completely over. if i get into pre-IB next year, i would have one more time of messy craziness that comes with science fair. actually, i endured...1, 2, 3, FOUR of these huge stressing messes so far in my life. 1 heritage fair, 2 science fairs (grade 7 and 8), and 1 science celebration.

whooah. pro-d day on friday. pro-d day = science fair catchup day.
actually it also means piano catch up day too, but science fair is a TINY BIT more important right now. piano's equally important in my mind, but school comes before piano. tho i sometimes would like piano to come first. SOMETIMES. most of the time, im glad school comes first.
i think im liking the piano more and more everyday. i dont noe why. the piano's been in my life for 10 years (A DECADE!!) and i have never liked it as much as i do now. only i probably wont grow up to become a pianist.

LI YUNDI IS AWESOME. i cant understand how he can play the piano so well. and guess what? he's younger than ms hu! >< oh and he won the 14th frederick chopin competition at the age of EIGHTEEN. wonder who his teacher was? i would transport his teacher over to vancouver and teach me if i had the money. or if his teacher is not willing, then i would force him/her. :D thats a good idea. only i dont have money.

oh guess what? ive finished my pre-IB application! it wasnt hard. applying to middle years took so much more work. actually, i think i had a weakness for perfection back in grade 7 (CUZ I HAD TIME), but now, i dont think i care much anymore. sure, if something looks extremely out of place, i'd have to change it, but if its miniscule, why bother? no one's gonna notice anyways.
anyways, theres gonna be a snow-shoeing / tubing field trip coming up. im so excited! actually, its around 3 weeks away, but we havent had a field trip for a while. ...i need to buy waterproof pants. donno where to get them tho.

homework's piling up. ive been so busy with the science fair that i didnt notice the regular homework pile stacking up.
ohhh geez... 3 weeks left. i better make use of tmw and next week. try to finish writing before next week. at least, i THINK i can do that. then its the matter of editing and making sure i have all my ideas down.
i have no idea what to write for my hypothesis tho. do i have a reason to think that salt would make the surface tension lower? would it be reasonable to say I SAW THIS ON THE INTERNET, SO I DECIDED TO TRY IT! oho.

writing pre-IB biography.i think it should be max. 1 page long. i donno. but its taken quite a lot of thinking.
donno how to conclude it tho...
would it be...
I hope I get into pre-IB! give a good look at my marks before you consider rejecting me!
or would it be...
I am sure I'll get into pre-IB cuz im so smart, smart and smart (saying something like that wouldn't be smart at all, so i hope u catch my irony). So, because of my self-confidence, all you can do is accept me.
or would it be...
I'll never get in, but I'm trying anyways. Please tell me I got accepted, I'll do anything! I beg you!
or would it be...
Please accept me because if you dont, my parents will be very angry at me. They will ground me for the rest of my life. [of course, they wouldnt, but i'll write that down anyways cuz it sounds sarcastic]
or would it be...
I'll give you half a million if you accept me, so if you're rejecting me, I'll let you know that you're giving up ur job as ur teacher.
or would it be...
ACCEPT ME OR ELSE...(i'll flush you down the toilet)!
or would it be...
oooh oooooooooooooooooooooh cute!!! what a cute acceptance letter!!! smooch! its an envelope with imaginary hearts on it! now i'll be all cute and cuddly and worm my way through pre-IB!
or would it be...
I'm smarter than you teachers, so you'd better let me in. I can prove that I have an IQ of 200, and if you don't accept me, i'll bomb ur house down.
or would it be...
- *batting eyelashes* i got in right? *shines a beautiful flirtatious smile* i'm glad I got in
- "er...no, you didnt."
*SLAP!*

studied science all day. and i mean, literaly, ALL DAY.
and i have some questions for ms hu. i remember she wrote tetroxide on one of her worksheets, but from her instructions, it should be tetraoxide. hmm...and for the bohr diagrams, it seems to me that it is very tedius to draw 3 of the same oxygen atoms to for LiClO3... (3 is supposed to be in subscript by the way, but since im typing in this blog, not microsoft word, i cant make it look like a subscript).
i dont noe why im studying so hard. this test is supposed to be out of only 53. and its supposed to be EASY.

TODAY IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE. i feel so bad...
i got a looooooooow mark on my chinese school exam. at the rate im going, i would fail in 4 tests. i mean, this is bad. my percentage is dropped by fives every test. its not that i dont do my homework, but its that i naturally SUCK at chinese. AAARRGH
anyways, its a multimedia blog day: how about i show u a scan of my science notes cuz
im studying so hard for it?

ARGGGH!!! only a week into school from the holidays, and the work pile is mounting again. SCIENCE FAIR IS DUE IN LESS THAN A MONTH, the IB applications are due in 2 weeks, theres a SCIENCE TEST on monday...piano every week...etc.
SOOO VERY FRUSTRATING. i really hope for all this to end so that i can go back to my regular SUMMER life.
i have no idea how to analyse my findings in my science fair tho...i mean, when in the world would 2% of natural water be made of detergent or sulphuric acid?? its just not quite possible. if its 2% sulphuric acid, most of the fish would be dead. by the way, 2% sulphuric acid in water = 0.02 moles = pH 1.7-something (which is very acidic).
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i went to watch the info night for IB and pre-IB tonight. IT WAS SOO INTIMIDATING!! REALLY! they made it sound so scary...
but of course, im still gonna apply. no matter how scary it sounds, im gonna apply.

oooh i love chopin's songs. wish he didnt die so early. :'( i've always felt sad he died at the age of 38. i wish bach could trade 30 years of his life for chopin's. i dont like bach much anyways. his music is so...not beautiful. theres no feeling, only technical stuff, in my opinion. i love chopin <3
its quite amazing that i started to play chopin's songs last summer (august 2007), but my mom still doesn't know ican play his songs yet. she got a big surprise when i told her i can play 4 extremely well and another 4 not-so-well. i mean, they are sorta hard and all, but they do sound very nice, if i must say so myself. my favourite so far - Nocturne #20 in C# Minor. its beautiful...so elegant. then comes waltz in e minor. love that one too, tho playing with a lot of force on the piano is necessary for this piece. my fingers hurt for a while after i play this song. ><

oh MY GOD. theres a science quiz on monday. gonna study through math tmw. i dont think i'll have to take the test, since i got 19.5/20 last quiz. mr stuart said that the ppl who got perfect or 19.5/20 do no have to take the test cuz its obvious they already know what they're doing, thus making it tedious to make them take the test again. he'll just automatically assume that i would've gotten perfect on the test he's going to give the other kids. whooooooooooooo i can study or do whatever i like during that time.
also, on thursday, theres gonna be a basketball game on blocks A and B, so i can stay in a study. or i might go. i donno. but i really would like some extra time to study. i think all this studying is cutting me off from my socials life, not that ive been social in the first place, but it prevents me from doing a lot of extra things ex. reading interesting wikipedia articles for fun. i wont have anything to talk about but homework to my friends, and that makes it extremely boring. ahh w/e, we still find interesting gossip to analyse.
ooh i forgot. gotta send this to mr olson.

but my parents want to go somewhere during spring break. that's good.

wow it seems so weird to write "2008" on top. soo very weird. The day I go back to school is a day 2. im actually quite happy about that. no science homework to worry about. aI also looked at January 23rd...and guess what? its the IB application test. oh no. wait...does that include pre-IB? I feel sorry for the ppl who are in Pre-IB right now, as well as us. lucky grade 8's. lucky regular ppl. or not so lucky, depending on ur view. ahh im blabbing and boring u. why not just end it off?
