I'm sorry for not having updated anything yet (not that many people read this anyway).
I've been really busy and I've had heaps to do lately. Namely exams. It's that week where there's report writing, tests, assignments due, exams and all that end of the semester stuff so it's been really hectic.
I'll update as soon as I can but before that, I guess you'll just have to wait.

Like I said in the post before, I'll be writing about my holiday here.

Well, unike the rest of my year level, I didn't go to camp at the end of term 1. Instead, I went to Cairns.
At first, Cairns' atmosphere made it hard for me to breathe but after I got use to it, I think it was better for me than in Melbourne. It made stopped my skin from getting dry. lol.

Well, on the first day we went for a walk around the night market. We didn't get a single thing.
Then on the second day, we went fo a tour around the city. That was kinda boring seeing as the city was really small. We went to the botanic gardens though and my sister got so many mosquito bites where as I didn't get any! ^^
The tour ended at 12:00 and we let him drop us off in the city center rather than at the hotel so we could walk around.
We ended up going to safeway (called Woolworths over there) and bought some food so that we could eat lunch and dinner. Didn't get that? I meant, enough food to last as for lunch and dinner..

Anyway, the third day was the best. We went on the Big Cat (a ship) to Green Island. And we went snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef!
Ok.. it sounds all crash hot doesn't it.. well it was at first but there were literally no fish were we were snorkelling. Ok.. lots of fish but so small and definetly not like in the pictures. The coral was boring too..
We did see quite a few big fish though. My sister went crazy chasing them.
Well, I make it sound boring but it was fun none the less.
On the way back from Green Island the weather was superb but what's funny is once we started to get closer to Cairns, you could see where the clouds were. It's amazing because on one side of the ship was sunshine and the other was gray clouds and kind of raining. Oh and there was a rainbow before that too..
So we get back to cairns and it's raining and so dull compared to Green Island.
We were lucky to have avoided that sort of day by doing something else.. lol

The fourth day we went on a tour to the rainforest.. at least that's what it was supposed to be.
Ok.. we went in this army type of vehcile and had a little ride through the rainforest.. nothing spectacular. We rode on the water at one stage too. lol.
After that we saw Aboriginals, digeridoo, boomerang and the dances. For foreigners, interesting.. for us, we'd seen it all before so it was kind of a drag. Except when my dad got up to learn their dance. lol. That was funny!
Then after that we went to this little place to have lunch.. have a walk around and that's about it.. quite boring.

The last day we hired a car and went up to Port Douglas. Walked around there.. oh we saw this leafy plant that closes when you touch it.. so funny.. we kept on touching it and they all looked dead after a while because all the leaves had closed up and were drooping. Anyway.. after that we went back down the same road but this time stopping by Ellis beach, Palm Cove (wonderful place) and Trinity Beach.
And that was about it..

The rest of my holidays haven't been really exciting. I've done the usual while trying to do my stack of homework which I should be doing now.. -_-..
Last saturday I went with my sister and her friends to see a movie and eat sushi at my cousins' shop. Quite funny because originally there were supposed to be 8 people, then it dropped to 7, then 6, then 5 and rose back to 6 again..
Anyway.. first time ever eating at my cousins' shop. I've been there before but never to eat.. always ether to help out or visit.
We went to Crown after that to watch a movie. We were going to see Hitch at first but most had already seen it so we ended up watching 'Guess Who'. That was really funny! Good movie!

Well that's really about all.. I should probably go do my homework now so cya!

Hey everyone,

Sorry for taking so long.. I couldn't decide what type of layout to do. I've made like four and only now have I decided.
Well I hope you enjoy this layout. It's quite different to my previous ones so maybe it'll suit your tastes a bit more.

I'll post about my holiday to Cairns another time because it's midnight now.. -_-

Really tired.. got to go to sleep.

Good Night.

Yes.. hi! I'm back. From where you ask? From my whole load of school work and other stuff. ^^

Well I've finally got around to posting, I've updated my quilting bee layout and patch. Check it out.. even if you aren't a quilting bee member. I love my new patch.

I'm still struggling to update my TCG but hopefully I'll get around to it soon.. but everything else net wise is finally updated. Woohoo!!

Ok. hm.. I'm thinking of making a new layout because this one is starting to bug me.. I think I'll try for a more professional look. I will now say.. just to make a promise to myself that I will not change my layout until I have made one that is professional looking! (I hope I keep that promise)

Oh.. the other day I finally bought Anthony Callea's second single! The limited editing 2 cd one too! I just love the songs so much! Especially Don't Tell Me. He sings a bit of Italian there too! Words just can't express how much I love these songs. I so can't wait for his album to come out.

Well I think I'll leave it at that for now so.. adios!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!! I know, it's a bit late but I didn't mean for it. Well anyway, today I went to the city to join in the Chinese New Year celebrations and it was heaps of fun. I didn't really do much but we watched the main event which is what I go there for really.

This 'main event' thing is where the biggest 'king' dragon comes out and the city is the only place you can see it, not just that, you can only see it once!! yes, ONCE!
Well anyway, what happened was that the dancing lions came out first, they danced around like they do (omg there were like 18 of them!!).


Lined up. You can't see 18 there because I guess they didn't fit on the camera..


Close up of the lions.

After that, the dragon came out. No, not the big 'king' one, a smaller one. This one is a dancing dragon (cause the big one can't dance.. it's too heavy).
Anyway, so this one dances as well, not very spectacular but still good.

Picture

After this, they had a few Kung Fu people come out and perform some stuff. It was so funny, these little boys also did it and they looked like they were dancing, so weak.
Well after that they had two lions come out and they had to climb this structure thing to get to a chinese scroll. They are so skilled!!

Picture

While they were doing this, the big dragon was making it's way out, it was so funny because both were interesting and so everyone who realised that the big dragon was coming out kept looking towards the big dragon, then the lions and back and forth. So did I.. although I tried to only look at the lions because the big dragon would make it's way through eventually.

So after the lion managed to get the scroll, the big dragon got a grand welcoming with like 4 people placing on different drums in different areas. It was so loud but really cool!! When the dragon got to the middle, the little dragon and the lions started to pay him respect, like bowing and stuff. Then it left the spotlight. Oh and the Premier was there too lol, it's my first time ever seeing him in real life!


Check out the crowd!!


That's how long it is. Amazing eh?

The big dragon also came with a whole bunch of creatures, not ones like dragons and stuff, but people holding big crabs and things on a stick. There were also 6 other lions which came out too, with green pants! lol

Picture

After that, the little dragon started to dance again and this time it was much better, They did much more spectacular things but the only disappointment was that the people got it tangled up.

Picture

Well I had a good day, hope you liked the pics! It's a first time! Yay!

Yes! Guess what, I'm in class at the moment!! and I'm blogging, it's been a while since I've posted at school. Well I have just started school yesterday and the days have been ok, we haven't been given a lot of homework so it's alright. Only problem is.. Where's Our Year Book!! slash Diary.. We get told so many things but we can't write it down because we haven't got anywhere to write it down in!!

It's quite annoying.. it'd better be in before the week ends..

WE\ell this is a short post. I really don't know what to write..

Maybe if I have more time, I'd just keep typing nothing and it might be interesting.. except i can't be bothered.
so cya!

Yes.. well I don't have a title so hm. Anyway, the reason for no posting is because since the 8th I've been out of the house most of the time. WOW! That's very new. So what have I been doing? That's what this post is about. lol.
Well anyway, my cousins have been to visit so on the 8th we went to the city together with my friends and spent almost the whole day there. It was heaps of fun.. actually maybe it wasn't. We didn't do much but it was great to be with my friends and cousins again.
Then on the 9th I went to have Yum Cha to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. We went to 'Golden Leaf', the food was ok, nothing special though. I guess it's because I've had too much Yum Cha. After that we went home and didn't do much. But at night we were supposed to have dinner with my cousins, oh and the reason why they are so special is before they are from interstate which means we only get to see them once a year basically. So back to the dinner, well we were supposed to but it never ended up happening. We went to see them though but they had gone ot visit someone else.
The the next day we went to their house just to hang around. We spent the whole day at their house i think. I know we had lunch but I can't remember what we did after that... yea I've got a bad memory.. it was only the 10th. THREE DAYS AGO!! and I can't remember.. oh well. Oh that's right, we went over to my house and hung around, supposed to play DDR but Fifi was playing Kingdom Hearts. Then we had to get back to their house (actually, it's my 4th aunty's house) to have dinner. Afterwards we wanted to play DDR there but they didn't want us jumping around so in the end we went back to our house to play.
Then the next day, it was so hot; 37 degrees but I think it reached 40. Anyway, because it was a hot day we went to the beach. It was such a windy day. Well we went swimming and it took me a while to actually get use to the water but when I did I had heaps of fun. We then had lunch and we sat in a tree because that way, dust and stuff wouldn't blow onto our food. Afterwards, everyone else went swimming again except for Jenny, Fifi and I. The afterwards, we got bored so we went for a walk around the streets to see the shops. Fifi and I finally got to buy our Friendship Boxes. We'd been planning it for so long but we kept forgetting. Anyway, we also bought a very cute frog keychain, altogether costing $4. The plan is, everytime we meet, we buy something that can either be split in half or buy two of the same thing to put in the box. So after that we went back home and went out seperate ways. We were had dinner together again but this time at our house. We played DDR this time and let Fifi and Amanda play the lessons so that they could get better. After dinner, we had passionfruit cheesecake. YUM!! And that was the end of that day.. oh and my other cousin Jason came after they had left.. but that's not important. ^__^
So then yesterday, the 12th we were supposed to go to the Mineral Springs to show them the place basically and go to Ballarat as well but I got sick so I couldn't go.. so sad. Well my dad and sister went with them and they went to Soverign Hill, bought some lollies, that's all I really know. Well I went over to the house they were staying and waited for them to get back because we were going to have dinner together again. Too bad they didn't get home until 8 and I'd already eaten.. actually, it's not 'too bad' because I couldn't eat any of the food that they ate anyway because I was sick in the stomach.
Well that's about all that happened. They left today in the morning so yea.

Now you know why I wasn't online.. lol.
