Summer Blog #12

ooh i havent written in so long. currently, im infatuated with lily&james fanfiction (from harry potter of course). it makes me wonder why i havent discovered them long ago. well, im close to finishing that grade 10 mathbook. turns out i noe more than half the stuff. and my violin teacher is still as bitchy as ever. im getting a new teacher this week.
I have finally started practicing for the grade 10 piano exam. the songs are quite nice actually. i started 4 songs already. one i already noe so well, i dont need to play anymore. well, its a short czarny study.
oooh and ive become obsessed with chopin's songs these days. i always liked them, but i really want to try playing minute waltz. actually, i DO have the sheetmusic from a book i bought in china, but its hard! argh! still, i can already play 4 chopin songs. all very nice by the way.

i finished the algebra book i was on, and i finished half of grade 10 mathematics textbook. i already noe muost of the stuff, surprisingly. i think i should spend more time on math.
my birthday came and went. we bought 2 cakes (one blackforest and the other yam), and i went to watch the simpsons movie with karen. anne got a boyfriend, surprisingly. good for her! im not exactly in a hurry to get one tho. i dont even want one at this age! maybe in 3 or 4 years or so.
my mom decided to keep our apartment in china and not sell it to anyone. arrgh. so nobody in my family are gonna go back to china this year. also, i really have to start thinking about my science fair project. what am i gonna do??
my violin lessons are going well, i suppose, but the teacher is strict. its great that shes going on vacation this week. i didnt practice 6 days in a row. my piano teacher bought me the grade 10 repertoire, study, and ear test stuff. im gonna start practising for grade 10 practical exam next week. i love the songs in there!! tho i didnt expect them to look so easy. well, i guess, as i practice more, the sheet music at my level starts to look easier.
my dad's birthday was yesterday. i couldnt think of what to get him, so i didnt get him anything at all. he didnt say anything. now i feel guilty.

my mom has just decided that we should go back to china!!! im soo happy!! also, im going to PNE on the 21st!! soo excited. i guess i'll just have to wait for the harry potter book...borrow it from somebody. im pretty sure some of my classmates would have it.
we went to the UBC nude beach today. oh gosh, my eyes were burning! there were naked mothers and fathers, with their naked children. and there were ppl having sex too, i think. oooh the pain!!
my new violin teacher is soo snobby. she says (in her list of rules) that she lets us inside 5 minutes before the starting time of our lessons and sit on her couch because she "respects us and wishes us 5 minutes of rest". i mean, we're basically her employers here! give us at least the right amount of respect! also, if we want to go on holiday and miss a class, we have to put down a "deposit". that deposit will be used for extra lessons in the future in addition to our normal classes. BITCH!

we went hiking on monday, canada day. it was fun. i climed a full 4 km up grouse mountain. it took longer than i expected, partly because there was a little girl dragging me. the view from the top was spectacular. we ate pizza while admiring the view. my dad and the little girl's dad climed down the mountain while the girl and i came down by skyride. my mom treated us to starbucks frappucinos when we met her, and afterwards, we went to eat vietnamese noodles.
today, karen and i went out with the intention of bowling in mind. it turns out that the bowling alley doesnt open until 2 oclock. so, we went to an antique shop, looked around (karen bought some records that she thought would be worth quite a lot later), and went to superstore. we didnt buy much at superstore, only weird-tasting food that karen likes. u noe, the pickles and salted olives? i ofund those quite hard to eat.
my mom cut my hair, by the way. here is a picture of me with my haircut:

i like my haircut.

i donno why im obsessed with PI no. its OBSESSIVE. 3.1415926535897932384i actually memorized 20 digits after the decimal point. well, that was becuz there was a pi-off in ms hu's class, but i still remember it. soo proud. now i shall write down all the long numbers i remembered. i wont tell u wat they are, just noe that i didnt just make them up. actually, u can probably guess that they are.
3.141592653589793238421383020805375
21383020805375
21383018392979
21383016410388
111104712
whsfzppc (well, these arent numbers, but random letters are just as hard to remember)
i think thats basically it, outside from phonenumbers. did u noe this guy in japan memorized to the 100,000th place after the decimals point of pi? crazy. but the world record that had actually been presented to the judges was 26 thousand something after the decimal point, recited by a chinese guy who recently graduated from university. it took him 24 hours and 6 minutes.

im trying to catch up to math now... i did 3 and a half pages yesterday (that doesnt sound like a lot, but believe me, it takes a long time), and im gonna do another 3 or 4 pages today.. im supposed to do 2 pages per day, but i didnt do any during the weekend, so im quite behind.

Summer Blog #6

u noe, i regret declining gladstone mini now. its OFFICIAL, unlike middle years, and it teaches you quite a lot too. AND, it looks like so much fun, not that middle years isnt fun. i also regret not going to the waterfight. darn. i hope there will be another water fight. :'(

i watched 1/3rd of happy feet today. it was good, only i had to go to metrotown with karen and anne before i was finished. we went around, trying on clothes. karen and anne bullied me. their never-ending teasing annoys me so. when they kept on saying i was following them around, i looked at karen seriously and told her to stop it. and i pretended to punch her head twice, stopping quite near her head. that did the job. they didnt bother me again. i just think that karen gets so mean when shes shes with anne. not that anne's mean, its just that they think of never-ending things to tease me about. im tired of this. i wish they could stop. next time they say anything about my hair, i dont really tease karen. why should she tease me?

Summer Blog #4

i did more math, played more piano, watched more movies, read more pride and prejudice, and ate more ice cream. ooh i watched 3 movies today; the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe, fantistic four: rise of the silver surfer, and shrek the thrid. they were good. now i wanna watched AVIATOR. arrgh its sooo slow!!! i think i'll use this summer to catch up on movies that i neglected over the past 2 years that were really good.

today was one of the most boring days of my life. i sat in front of the computer, doing nothing, played piano, and did math. actually, i played 2 games of solitaire and 2 games of chess. i won both :D i think im getting better at chess. i mean, ever since i discovered that i could play a game against the computer, ive been playing at least once a day. i keep on cheating tho. cuz ure allowed to undo. and as many times as you like too!
karen downloaded mr and mrs smith, she asked me for the codec, i found the URL, she watched it. oh shes still online! aw darn shes not replying.
i started reading pride and prejudice. its ok, considering i didnt get bored after 5 pages. actually, i think i would finish the whole book. probably..
i hope aviator finishes downloading tmw. i really wanna watch it. then after that, i wanna watch the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. then, bridge to terabithia. after that, return of the king.

Summer Blog #2

yesterday was sooo fun!!! i got my year book signed, by my classmates, and by some of my teachers. we then went to shamisen sushi, where karen and i talked with daniel and michael while eating. i think i tried everything except dumplings. we watched pirates of the caribbean at 2:00 to 5:00, then we went to get slurpies.
when we came back, guess what we talked about to michael ho? whether he was planned or not. that was weird, but karen and michael both said they were "an accident". ... i was planned, i asked my mom when i got home.

Catch the Reading Bug
When you're bored and you're restless
And you don't know what to do
TV is useless,
The computer is too;
When they ask you what you want
And all you can do is shrug,
The best thing for you to do
Is catch the reading bug!

When everyone's on holiday
And all your friends are gone,
They're trekking mountains in Nepal
Or paddling up the Amazon,
And you're left all alone at home
Feeling like a slug,
The only thing for you to do
Is catch the reading bug!

How do you catch the reading bug?
Where do you start to look?
Head to the library,
And open up a book!
Once you've started reading
You might find you just can't stop--
Morning, afternoon and night,
You'll read until you drop.

Once you've caught the reading bug
There's nowhere you can't go
You'll discover wild amazing things
You didn't know you didn't know
Adventure, fun and mystery
Wait between the covers
The reading bug unlocks deep secrets
Known to all book lovers

But one night while you're reading
From the pile stacked by your bed
An errant little notion
May wander through your head,
With all those books you want to read,
You'll wonder, which is true:
Did you catch the bug
Or did it catch you?

this is gay. no offense.

i wonder what i'll name my blogs after i finished with third time. maybe summer 2007 blog number __? but i think i shall leave this site, save everything onto my grade 8 CD, and that will be all. i want to preserve my documents on the computer. it turns out that i dont have a lot. only 100 mb. my CD can save 700 MB. darn. oh well, i'll have my grade 8 CD nonetheless.
i really wish i dont have to do my piano lessons this week. i didnt practice at all. im gonna study for the finals hard. i already am. tmw's the last day that i could study for science and socials! better prepare! i think im alright tho.. gonna review more, make sure i noe it without thinking too much.
you know what? the hardest thing i find to remember is that the independent variable is that one that you manipulate or change. its confusing! the word "independent" means that it doesnt have to rely on something right? that makes it sound like its that varible that im observing. actually, as im writing this now, i think i get it.
