Exams

2005-05-31T23:46:00.000+10:00

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.

Holiday

2005-04-19T14:08:00.000+10:00

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!

Lookie

2005-04-19T00:02:00.000+10:00

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.

It's been soooooooo long!

2005-03-19T16:15:00.001+11:00

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!

Chinese New Year

2005-02-13T19:26:00.000+11:00

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!

School!

2005-02-02T13:45:00.000+11:00

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!

...:::: ..... ::::...

2005-01-13T21:35:00.001+11:00

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.

CYAZ

Happy New Year!

2005-01-03T19:04:00.000+11:00

Happy New Year Everyone! Ok I know that it was two days ago but still.. I didn't get time to blog.
As you can see, it's a new layout! YAY! I just thought I should make a new layout for the new year. It features Hama Chisaki.. but I think she cahnged her name to Rika. -_- But anyway, she featured in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon as Sailor Mercury. I just had to make a layout of her because I have so many pictures and they are all so pretty. Well I hope you enjoy this layout.

Anyway, back to new year. I went to see the New Year Fireworks this year. They were supposed to have music to it, I think they did but the fireworks were so loud that I couldn't hear it. They should have more speakers next time.
They also didn't have a countdown. I remember the last time I went (a few years ago), they did have a countdown. I was setting my watch but because they didn't have a countdown it wasn't very accurate.
Well other than those two minor problems and the fact that I stood in one place from 10:30pm to midnight keeping our spots and waiting for the fireworks, the fireworks were spectacular. They had fireworks on top of the river, behind us and somewhere near the commenwealth building. Bascially, there were fireworks everywhere. It was fantastic.

Well I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year. May the following days of the year be even better! (That's definetly something I hope for.. ^0^)

Cya everyone!

Christmas

2004-12-25T11:47:00.000+11:00

Yay! Today is Christmas not that I'm doing anything special. Christmas Eve is always better than Christmas. ^__^
So anyway, I haven't blogged in so long.. around 10 days I think. Well that's all because of my other sites, I've been busy updating them because they are more important than this blog (cause they are interactive).
Anyway, I'm only posting to show that I'm still here and still willing to blog almost all for Kimo's sake. lol
Let's see, what have I been doing? Well I finally got started on my Japanese homework, did about 3 sections of it, as in a few pages stapled is one section. I still haven't got started on my English -_-;; but my piano is going ok.. not too well but my piece that I'm learning is almost learnt!

The other day I finished playing kingdom hearts! Yay! The ending was so sad and we wanted to story to continue so we went in serch of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA) and we found it and lol I've almost finished it but then again it's a very short game. I can't wait until Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out.

Harry Potter the 6th book is coming out soon! Well not very soon, I think it's the 14th or 15th of July 2005. It's called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
It's supposed to reveal heaps of information about the past and just things that we need to know. Oh and the Half-Blood Prince is not Harry or Voldemort.

Well anyway, on the 26th my cousins from Canberra are coming over and so I won't be able to do anything on the computer, then on the 27th I'm going on a holiday with family for um.. 4 days I think. So I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!!

Marine Week

2004-12-12T10:31:00.000+11:00

Hi, Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. It's just, Blogger has been annoying me. I actually tried to post twice but both times everything I wrote was deleted before it even posted so I gave up.
Well now I'm posting again (typing in Microsoft Word). And I'm going to talk about Marine Week so it'll be separated into days.

Monday
So, on Monday all of the year 9s went to Hasting/Ocean Grove. We were split into two groups according to our home rooms and each group went to one of the places. My group went to Ocean Grove. I wasn't exactly looking forward to going surfing and kayaking because I just don't really like the ocean. Oh and also because I wear glasses and my eye sight is pretty bad seeing as I've been wearing glasses since I was in year 1. Because we were doing water activities I had to take my glasses off, there goes my eye sight. Anyway, so we did kayaking first. Kayaking was really tiring and only after a few minutes I was already complaining about my arms but we kept on going anyway. We didn't do a lot except for learn how to capsize and get back in, learn how to turn the boat and just paddle. After we finished we had lunch and I can say that I did have fun kayaking.
For lunch I didn't have anything special, just so sandwiches from home. But because Mr Whippy was here I went and bought an ice-cream.
So, because I had had fun kayaking, I was in a good mood and ready to try surfing.
After lunch we got back in the bus and drove to the surfing area. We got told how to surf lying on the board, on our knees and on our feet. When we got out to the waves, it was all up to us on what we did. At first it was very annoying because I could never bring myself out far enough and I kept getting hit by my surfboard but eventually I started having fun and even trying to stand on my board. I swallowed a lot of water every time I lost my balance but I had heaps of fun anyway. So that was the first day of Marine Week.

Tuesday
Monday sure took a lot of space. Well anyway, Tuesday was a more relaxed day. We had to be in the city by 12 o'clock but obviously because we were going to the city, everyone wanted to get there earlier to go shopping so we all caught the train up to the city. I went with Wendy and Kimo and even my sister came because she didn't have to go to school. So when we got to the city we wanted to go shopping but we ended up just wandering around. My other friends rang me to see if we could meet up. (They catch a different line.) So I told them where we were and we could hopefully meet but we never ended up meeting because Wendy, Kimo and I were in a clothes shop and I think they walked past. Kimo tried on this really short mini skirt and we all found it very cute and she was going to buy it because it was only $6 but she didn't because she didn't think her mum would let her wear it. So after that we went to this place to take sticker photos. They turned out really well but they wouldn't come out at first so we had to wait for a few minutes. Because of that we didn't get to buy lunch because we thought we were going to be late arriving at the Aquarium. But because I was hungry I phoned my friends and they bought me a burger which I ate when I got to the aquarium.
The aquarium was heaps of fun. All we did was walk around with a tour guide and look at the fish. We got to see the divers feeding the sharks and man rays. (Is that what they are called?). So after the aquarium, most people stayed in the city to continue shopping but Nayru, Sunflower and I had to go back to school for Stage Band rehearsal. Well anyway, that was Tuesday.

Wednesday
I wasn't going to go because it was forecasted to rain and we were in the water again today. Well I ended up getting persuaded by Wendy and ended up going. I can say that I did have a lot of fun in-between the freaking out which I can now laugh about. Well on Wednesday we went sailing and wind surfing. For sailing we weren't actually supposed to get wet but the boat is quite easy to capsize and so I wasn't allowed to wear my glasses again. I went in a boat with Jong and Wendy, Wendy being the only person who doesn't need glasses. We spent the whole time just sailing in a figure eight and every time we turned Wendy and I would start screaming because we hadn't mastered how to use the sail so that we didn't capsize. Btw Jong was controlling the rudder and Wendy and I were controlling the sheet. Eventually I couldn't stand not understanding when to loosen the sheet and when to tighten it so I yelled out to the people who taught us (they were zooming around in speed boats) and asked them what it was for. After that we got the hang of it and Wendy and I stopped screaming so much, we still did once in a while but that was about it. Jong on the other hand didn't scream once. She's too calm. After that everyone got to go out to the big waves in the speed boat. It was so scary because someone did fall in and because the whole boat lifted up so high. The waves made it very bouncy and when we turned, the whole boat lent to one side a bit too much for comfort. Other than the fact I was screaming like crazy I had heaps of fun. It's kind of like when you go on a rollercoaster, you scream but want to do it again.
We had lunch and after lunch we went wind surfing. I wasn't looking forward to it because we were given wetsuits which didn't cover our whole body and I wasn't ready to feel cold, especially because it had started raining. But I went anyway and I can say that I had fun but while freezing myself to death. I swear my hands couldn't move. After we got back from windsurfing, we had some time to spare so I went and bought a hot chocolate and that made my day. It was so warm and there were marshmallows and it's just perfect for when you are freezing.

Thursday
Well Thursday was a relaxing day, we went for a little walk in somewhere called.. well I've forgotten but we went for a 1 and a half hour walk and Wendy and I spent the whole time just talking to each other about stuff. After we finished the walk we had lunch and most people went to the kiosk but I couldn't be bothered so I stayed with Jong and a few other people. After a while though we all ended up going to the kiosk and I shared some hot chips with Sunflower. After that we went on a boat ride and had a look at some of the things that we took from the bottom of the sea. It was a relaxing journey and what was funny though was that almost everyone had a chance to steer the boat. That was about all Thursday had to offer.

Friday
On Friday we went to the Mentone beach, right next to our school and just had a relaxing day of hanging around on the beach. There were a few activities going on but we didn't have to join in. My friends and I played beach cricket with 3 other people including Mr Z our teacher. We had heaps of fun even though we only had one wicket and hardly any people. After that we went and made a sandcastle except it wasn't a castle, we made a maze. Then I played cards with a few of my friends and it was time for lunch. We had a sausage sizzle and went back down to the beach again. We were allowed to have a swim after lunch but I didn't want to. I ended up going knee deep into the water.. actually it was knee deep, less but anyway. It was so cold that I just stood there in the water and because that felt stupid I kicked some water at Sunflower, just a little bit, I don't think she got very wet but because that made her excited she ended up kicking so much water at me that my whole back was soaked and I was wearing my t-shirt. Because of that I went back to shore and lay on my towel, sat up and hoped that I would dry off. We played more card games, I listened to my Discman and eventually the day ended.

All in all I think that Marine Week was very enjoyable and in most cases relaxing. Well not really because it left me so tired every day. But I had heaps of fun and learnt a lot too.

This is one very long post... 1593 words but if I include all of these words too.. it becomes 1608 words.

Australian Idol

2004-11-24T18:12:00.000+11:00

This is a bit late but OMG Casey won!! I don't know if it's a good thing in my mind or not because I couldn't even decide who to go for but I do admit that she has a fantastic voice.
Thing is.. I really wanted Anthony to win!! When he sang 'The Prayer' I was like.. "that has got to be the best song ever!".
So anyway.. we got together at my friend Solo's house to watch it. I think there were around 10 guests. We all got there from around 4:30 till 5:30pm and declared who we were cheering on. Georgia had actually made two balloons saying "Go Anthony!" and "Anthony = Australian Idol" on it but that one popped. We put it outside on Solo's fence and then because she was going for Casey she made a balloon saying "Go Casey!" Anyway.. afterwards, we sat around teh table eating our party food that we all brought but it was mainly Solo's own food. lol. We didn't bring much ourselves. ^^ We also ate most of the chocolates from the advent calendar which tasted like cardboard. Yuck! point is though, we took the pictures from there of our idols (it was a Top 30 Aus Idol Advent Calender) and stuck them to our shirts along with a sticker for who we were cheering on to win the title.
So.. we stuffed ourselves and then her parents asked whether we wanted to get pizza now or not and we were like.. "too full" so we hung around for a little longer and then we finally decided to go to the nearest oval to play around in to waste time. Before we left, we ordered the pizza so that by the time Idol started, the pizza would have arrived and then left the house.
We walked to the oval and around the bush like areas of it. After we did that, Lauren, Alix and Georgia wandered of to some boy's house. We didn't know what to do but we wanted to waste time so we just started to pretend fight.. a bit lame but .. -_-
So the funny part.. Nayru, for some strnage reason kicked her shoe into the air and it landed on the floor near me so just for fun I picked it up and ran around with her chasing me. I threw it to Solo and then she threw it back to me. After a while Sunflower picked it up and literally ran away with it. Not wanting to follow her, Nayru stood in one entrance of the pathways waiting for her to come back but after a really long time she thought, she's probably going to come out on the other side. So.. Nayru walked (more like limped) over the oval to the otherside (horizontally) and waited.
Miki and I watched and waited. After a while we decided, "ok! let's find her" so we both walked to the different ends of the pathway and walked.
As I walked I realised that Sunflower would probably be on the otherside and Miki would find her first but I decided to enjoy the cool breeze and just exercise a bit. Eventually I was also at the end of the path when I came across Sunflower. She still ahd Nayru's shoe in hand and told me she wanted to through it at Nayru from the otherside. So we parted way and I was about to walk out when I thought, let's try to scare her!
So.. I took a slightly different path and came out behind her, I walked as silently as possible and I was so close to touching her but she turned around and you'd think .. failure but no! I mangaed to scare her because she didn't expect anyone to be right behind her! lol. So that was fun! Then eventually Asheligh came out after both Miki and I said that we didn't see her.
After this saga, we walked back to the house and settled to watch Aus Idol!
Well Aus Idol was fantastic so.. I don't see the point in talking about it but it was fantastic. I want Casey's single!

Archery

2004-11-14T10:42:00.000+11:00

I'm posting again, I know strange three posts in one day but hey! I wanted to talk about archery in another post as well. lol. Well just yesterday Slinky celebrated her birthday. She celebrated it 16 days early because she was going to Sri Lanka before her birthday.
Anyway, we went to an Archery Club and we got to learn how to shoot an arrow!! Whoot!!
I had soooooooo much fun I can't stress it enough. We started off learning how to shoot and pull the arrows out, safety and counting scores. Then after that we just had to keep on shooting. My highest score was 48 and that's our of 60. That's great though, I got 4 arrows in the yellow and the other 2 on the blue and red. Oh and the scoring:
white first circle - 1 point
white second circle - 2 points
black first circle - 3 points
black second circle - 4 points
blue first circle - 5 points
blue second circle - 6 points
red first circle - 7 points
red second circle - 8 points
yellow first circle - 9 points
yellow second circle - 10 points
yellow third circle - X 10 points (if its a tie then they use that to see who's closer to the middle)

Each time you shoot, you shoot 6 arrows so that means the highest score is 60, if you get them all in the yellow second or third circle.

Anyway, after we did a few rounds of trying to get the yellow, we started to shoot pictures instead. solo and I had to shoot bananas in pyjamas. lol. We aimed for the eyes, too small though. lol.
Anyway, after that we had to try and hit the apple on a cardboard head. The famous shooting. lol. Miki managed to get her arrow right through the apple, too good. Slinky got it to slice some of the apple. Solo and I.. nowhere near, ok maybe a couple of centimetres. lol.
The people who shoot the apple got a keyring saying that they did it. lol.. I want one!!!
After that, they attached four balloons onto the head and told us that they didn't want any ballons left. The apple was still there so we could still try to hit that. I got two balloons and so did Solo. The only ballons that didn't get hit was on the last line, she did hit one though. Some people hit two in one shot. So that was fun.
Then we had a knock out. They gave Slinky two chances though because she's the birthday girl. lol.
I got out on the first shot but I was so close. The people that came 1st, 2nd and 3rd got key rings. The winners were Solo::3rd Slinky::2nd and her brother::1st.

So that was archery. I want to go again!! My arm hurts so much though cause the bow is pretty heavy. Still it was so much fun I really really want to go again. Can't wait to do archery again! Now that I can do it and even hit the yellow on the target!! It's a great achievement! ^_________^

Golden Notes Award

2004-11-14T10:17:00.000+11:00

Well if you've read my previous post you will know that this is a music competition. It's special though because in normal competitions, only you enter as a soloist but in this one you have to form groups 2-8 people.
There's also the sections, junior (junior school students only), intermediate (senior school students with less experience), senior (senior school students with lots of experience).
Well I entered one with solo, slinky and amy in the senior section and one in the intermediate section with lizzie (we were forced to.)
In the duet one, we played a piece called Duo1 by Playel (I think.) There were only four groups which entered in the intermediate and we mangaed to come third even though our first rehearsal together was that very day. -_-;;; Oh and it was a duet of two violins.
In the group of four (senior) we played an arranged version of Concerning Hobbits. It was actually arranged by Solo right off the cd. There were five entries in the senior section and we came 2nd so I'm extremely happy!! lol. We called ourselves the Fellowship and we actually performed a skit before we started. lol. I'll post it here:

Michaela: And next is Slinky, Solo, Fujiko and Amy (well she didn't say that but I'm not putting the real names, oh and she's just the person introducing the performances. Even though we gave her a little part to play.)
*Walk in arguing*
Slinky: One does not simply walk onto stage. There is evil there that does not sleep. *looks at the head of music*
Amy: 'Tis a barren waste land, riddled with fire and ash and dust.
Alinky: Not with 10000 men could you do this. It is foley!
Solo: Have you heard nothing Michaela has said? The piece must be played.
*Starts to argue again*
(Slinky: I will never see the music in the hands of a pianist!)
Me: I'll play it.
*Everyone turns to look*
Me: I'll play the piece though... I do not know the music.
Solo: By my life or death if I can accompany you I will. You have my piano.
Amy: And my bow (violin).
Slinky: And my Clarinet.
Extra: Mr. Frodo's not playing anything without me. (we got sarah, the extra to jump out of her seat and join us so that people would be shocked. lol)
Michaela: No, It is hardly possible to seperate you even when he is summoned to a secret concert and you are not.
Extra: Well you need people of intelligence on this sort of music... performance... thing.
Solo: Well that rules you out.
*Pushes her away*
Michaela: Four musicians, so be it. You shall be.. the Fellowship.
Slinky: Great. So.. what are we playing?
Michaela: Concerning Hobbits by Howard Shore arranged by Solo.

And then we start playing. lol. It was so funny!! I don't know if it seems like that from the script but it was! Oh and I played the violin, so did amy. Slinky played the clarinet and Solo the piano.
It was great!
The winning group was fantastic though. From the start I knew that they would win. They played a jazzed up version of our school anthem. What was great about it was their costumes (messed up versions of the uniform) and the fact that they started of saying "please stand for the school anthem" *all did that hand thing, cool thing. Where you bend your two middle fingers into your palm so that only the index and last and the thimb could be seen and then push your hand down.*
Then they started the normal version of the anthem on the piano and all of a sudden the drums came in and they changed it into jazz. Sometimes they'd suddenly stop and add an intelude. Like the first time they added a lttle electric guitar solo. The second time was funny, they all stopped playing their instruments and started to sing the descant of the school anthem where they had left of from the instruments.
WEll I don't know if it sounds good me saying it here but it was fantastic. Even thoug we came second, I think it was by quite far.
Well that was the Golden Notes, we didn't win a golden note (first only) but we're waiting for a certificate and another performance. ^^

Test Week

2004-11-14T10:05:00.000+11:00

Well I don't think I've posted anything about test week yet so here it is. Well first of all, I've just finiahed my test week even though there are still more tests to come. It was so annoying though because everyday we had a test or an exam or two! Because I'm in year 9 and sometimes you can do VCE subjects in year 10, our japanese teacher is telling us all to do VCE japanese next year so we had to do a few exams to see whether we were good enough (to show the principal). Anyway, so on the monday I had a Japanese Oral, I got 19/20 YAY! Then on tuesday I had a violin lesson which I didn't practise for, a maths exam 92% and the golden notes award (music groups competition) afterschool. I'll talk about that one later. Then on wednesday I had an english test which included spelling, grammar points and analysing a poem. On thursday we had the big big big Japanese Exam. I think I got 86.5% on that. It consisted of writing sentences in japanese, counters and a whole page about myself. I also had another violin lesson (I don't really like them..) On Friday we were going to have a music test, history test but we didn't end up having them. We had a maths problem solving session though, the ones that get assessed. Well that was that week, ok maybe it doesn't seem like much but I didn't like it and I don't know how I'm going to survive in VCE anymore. -_-;
At least we didn't get any homework. lol.
Next week I have a PE Theory Test on monday, a science exam (open book) and the history test on tuesday, the music test on wednesday and thats it!!
Well I'm going to post this first and then post again about golden notes because I want a heading for it! lol Cya

New Layout

2004-11-06T22:42:00.000+11:00

Look!! Look!! It's a new layout, featuring Tomoyo from Card Captor Sakura. The title is one of her songs and it means Come Here! Oh and don't forget to comment!!

2 more weeks!

2004-11-06T18:10:00.000+11:00

Yay! There's only around two more weeks of school.. well ok. i still have school for quite a while before the term ends but I've only got two more weeks of full on classes. That's because after the two weeks, I have two days off.(long weekend) and then one day is the aths carnival and the other two days is transition. Then the next week we have marine week, so that means no school! And after that we have two more days left, one of which i'm probably going to be spending at the Melbourne Convention Centre to run through Speech Night. So.. that's the end of term!!!
So that's the good side of things, too bad there's always the bad side like how next week is full of tests and exams. I have a japanese oral on monday, a maths mainstream semester test on tuesday, a history revision lesson, a violin lesson and in the afternoon the Golden Note Awards. On wednesday I have an English test which consists of a big spelling test, grammar and poem analysis. On thursday I have a Japanese Exam to see whether I can do VCE Japanese in year 10(next year) and a PE Theory Test which I'm not sure is happening. Then on Friday I have the History Test to do with WWI and Gallipoli, then I have a Music Test and in Maths we have to do Problem Solving.. assessed. And that's next week! I'm not really looking forward to it but still..
I can't even start to imagine what VCE is going to be like, I'm freaking out already. It's only in three years and I'll have finished school! ARGH!! Yea.. well.. hm.
Oh that's right, yesterday we had to present a radio station thing for music, it's our assignment. Point is, it went really well for us and our station was called GG FM. Which stands for Golden Girls FM. Playing all the hits from the Golden Girls, with Jen Ang and Tii. That was our motto/philosophy. Anyway.. we had to include a news update plus weather and sport. We also had three songs which we had to review first, a short review. We also had to include our jingle that we composed in the music lab. Hm.. and we also had a gherkin eating competition because our SFX story that we had to write was about the Princess who stole the Golden (ah) Gherkin. It was heaps of fun watching people stuff gherkins down their throat. Of course they didn't do it for nothing. The winner who ate the most gherkins in 1 minute got a giant fredo frog and the others got a snake each. hm.. oh and did you know, the reason why we called our station the Golden Girls was because of the Golden Gherkin. Lol.. that's where the idea came from. When we were reading out the SFX story, every time we mentioned the golden gherkin, Tii would add in between golden and gherkin 'ahh' like that heaven sound. And at first people just listened but after a while they obviously found it very funny how we kept on saying 'ahh' and started laughing which is good because it was supposed to be funny. lol.. when we were running it through I started laughing and couldn't stop. Anyway.. that's all for today so cya! Maybe I should post the story up.. hm.. good idea.
Well Signing off!

It's been so long!

2004-10-30T11:03:00.000+10:00

Just as the title says, it's been so long since I last posted. Sorry about that.. if there is anyone who actually reads these posts. Anyway, lifes been ok. I can't say that anything really exciting has happened. We finished early yesterday and so my friends and i wandered around Springy, had lunch and then went to the library. Because it's Melbourne cup on Tuesday we also get a long weekend!! Fantasic. Although I have to worry about all the tests and homework and assignments which come after.. -_-!!

Has anyone checked my quilting bee quilt? I've been so much more active these days, and I've even got a halloween quilt up! I've been going trick or treating over the net! lol.. we don't celebrate halloween in Australia much so I guess it was fun to participate in it over the net.

I really don't know what to talk about, I don't want to do what I did last time and explain my whole week so.. I guess I'll stop here. Short post but whatever. I'm still alive and well and that's all good!! lol. Well cya!

School

2004-10-17T17:28:00.000+10:00

Well in my last post I said that I had to do that Romeo and Juliet performance.. well it went really well and I got an 'A' YAY!!
Well then.. I'll do what I did last time and go through my whole week.. yea I know boring but you don't have to read. XP
Monday // Hm.. I had PE and we had to do that Beep Test.. Endurance.. but luckly.. I had a piano lesson half way so I got to get out of PE early.. too bad it wasn't early enough to miss the beep test. My piano lesson was ok too but that was mainly because she wasn't there for like more than half the lesson.
After that I had Japanese and we didn't really do much. And the rest of the day was basically the same.
Tuesday // You could say that this day was more interesting because we had Music and Sport's Photographs. The day started of with Maths (YAY) and we (me and toraiya) managed to get far far ahead. Then I had to go to my first photograph (Preforming Strings) and straight after get changed into sports uniform for my second photograph (badminton). After that we spent a boring lesson of History because most people where haveing pictures and a very tiring lesson of Science. It was a very very tiring day because it was so hot. Then after school I went to my first ever session of Stage Band. The teacher in charge of that group wanted me and nayru to join as pianists because the pianist at the moment is in year 12 and obviously about to leave. So we went and looked at th music, didn't play anything because the year 12 was still there and got freaked out by the music. lol..
Wednesday // Boring and boring. Oh wait.. hang on.. we had out english presentations. Oh.. and kaeti and her groups performance was hilarious. Kaeti did her part so well, well at least I thought so.. Then after that we had music.. nothing much happened. And then the highlight (not) of Wednesdays; Challenge for Life. My group was having a change over from voluteering in small groups and joining back into the big group to volunteer elsewhere. Because we were going to Southern Family Life to do weeding, two people were allowed to go to their OP shop so my friend and I went. We spent the first bit counting puzzle pieces (1000) then we checked on the toys to see if they were sellable. And that's about it.
Thursday // Now on this day we had science (nothing), Pe Theory (nothing) and I'll get to the others later but first of all recess. At recess Nayru and I had to go to record out jingle for music. It took forever but it was fun (I like recording). It went overtime into Japanese by half an hour and we were supposed to be having out japanese kanji quiz. Nayru and I thought that we had missed it but no.. she had let them have half and hour's study time. So when we got there she handed out the tests. The tests were ok and it was funny how she put two words twice. Then after this was the highlight; lunch. No, the highlight wasn't lunch, it was what happened at lunch. We got to learn 'Fencing'!!! It was heaps of fun, we had to wear breast plates and helmets and stuff, all the stuff. And we learnt how to stand in position, to attack and pary and stuff. It was heaps of fun!! I want to do it more often.. lol. Anyway.. that was lunch, after that I had a violin lesson and it went pretty well and came back for 20mins of problem solving. Then after school solo, slinky and I practised for the Golden Notes Award. We're playing 'Concering Hobbits' from 'Lord of the Rings'. It's sounding ok but I'm always stuffing it up.. but that's basically thursday.
Friday // On Friday I had music, maths, english and history. Nothing much happened. In music we talked about the late baroque period and the 60s. In maths Toraiya and I continued to go ahead. In english we watched the last group of the performances and went to the library to read. That was nice and relaxing. Then at lunch my friends had concert band so I went to the gym to check out tug of war. (btw.. I forgot to mention, this week was pe week) Anyway.. I ended up joining in and I had heaps of fun. It was great because you had the normal team and then all of a sudden you'd have so many people that there realy was no space to move because they kept calling for more people to help win on one side. But yea... I had hepas of fun which I didn't expect because I wasn't interested in Tug of War in the first place. Anyway... after that we had History and not much happened either. Just more talk about the transportation fo convicts and how Australia came to have states and not colonies. And that's my school week! Did you have fun reading about it? Lol.. probably not.. I tried to make it funny.. oh well.. If you are readin here you probably found it interesting enough.. I hope. Well anyway.. who ever said my life was interesting.. Well that's about it.. I don't want to drag on so cyaz all.

Random events

2004-10-08T23:32:00.000+10:00

Hey.. well the first week of school, term 4 has finished and it's been pretty eventful. Let's see.. well we started on a Tuesday because Monday was staff day and nothing much happened.
Wednesday: Had english and was told that we had to perform a little bit from a scene from Romeo and Juliet. I'm working with Nayru and we're doing that scene where Juliet gets told she's going to marry Paris on Thursday. Then we had music and we had to write a sfx story.. we finished it and it's about the princess who stole the golden gherkin. It's very funny and after the word golden.. we always make that angelic sound..
Anyway, after that we had Challenge for Life and I had to go to Yarraba, which is school for mentally disabled kids. THis was our last time going but I had a bit of fun. (normally i don't really look forward to it). Oh but what was really bad was I was wearing the winter uniform and it was one of the best days of htis week, nice and sunny, no clouds everything spring is supposed to bring. I was so hot.. I think I felt like I was going to faint.
Thursday: Ah.. now this day, maths was boring, science was boring. Oh but I had a violin lesson in science. Then we had japanese and that was ok.. other than the fact that we spent the whole lesson filling out kanji. (She gave us three sheets of hiragana and told us to write it in kanji.) But.. something which makes me believe I'm getting better at Japanese happened.. the teacher said something in jap and everyone was like.. what? But I understood it.. and before i knew.. I'd said "she just said, from now on I will speak in Japanese" and she nodded. I was very happy.. lol. The other thing about this day was that I had to perform on my violin in Performance Assembly. It's the first time I've ever performed violin solo before so I was so scared.. I've learnt violin for 5 years.. yet never performed solo.. only in a group. Anyway.. people said that it was very good.. not that i have the confidence to believe them. I made the worst mistake of cringing my face when i made a mistake and even saying 'ug'. My friends heard that!! ARGH!! well.. next time I'd better keep my mouth shut and my face expressionless.. lol.
After that we had problem solving and I can truely say that that was one of the best problem solving lessons ever. We had a substitute teacher and she was very into problem solving so she had brought in all her stuff that she liked to play around with. Things like rubix cubes but she had such a big range.. everyone was so noisy but it was heaps of fun.. better than what we usually do.
Friday: hm... i don't think today was very eventful either.. well I'll skip it. lol

Well then.. I think that's about it but I had a few more rnadom stuff to say.

Did anyone go to my PGSM TCG? Well it's now got 8 members! YAY!! and I've actually been hosted as well so the url is now http://prettyguardian.catlicious.net and because it's php enabled.. I decided to learn how to use php includes.. and now changing layouts will be so much easier. ^^

I think that's it.. and even if it's not I have to go anyway.. mum's going to kill.. need to go to sleep so night to you all!

The City

2004-09-25T21:03:00.000+10:00

Hey! On wednesday I went to the city with my friends!! It was fun!! lol.. this sounds so lame doens't it.. well I did have fun.. hm.. what did I do..Oh I remember asking saying things like.. "If someone asks what we did.. we can say.. we played cards!! lol.." and people would think.. they went to the city just to play cards.. and then I added in.."at the casino". I thought it was really funny because we aren't allowed in the casino but that's like the only place you'd play cards..

Well anyway.. what we really did was go meet up at flinder's station and walk around with no idea where we were going cause we didn't have a set direction. Then after three of us had lunch we went and tried to find the botanical gardens but ended up in the calton ones. Then we spent around 1 hour there playing cards, lying on the grass and taking pictures of each other.. After that.. the other two who didn't have lunch went and bought some buns from bread top and we went to south yarra to buy my sister some japanese curry..

That's basically all that's happened.. so.. yea.. not very interesting. But it was fun!! That's what always happens... I think yay.. I have something to post in my blog and when I type it out.. it always sounds so stupid or boring.. but ah well.. it was a good memory.. a lot of the funny things where things we actually said.. but it's hard to start a quote thing so I won't be bothered...

That's all for today/tonight... it's night time.. anyway.. hoep it doesn't rain on monday otherwise out picnic is going to be ruined..
Well should stop now.. so cya.

Posting Time!!

2004-09-19T16:29:00.000+10:00

Hey! Sorry for ot posting for a while.. it's not my fault.. nothing interesting has been happening... but at least today we went shopping so there!! I have something to post!!
Well.. today we all went to Southland and did some window shopping.. lol.. yea.. nothing to buy.. other than the fact that we spent a whole hour and around $30 in the food court.
After that we went to Big W and bought some stuff.. I got Paulini's Album; One Determined Heart. Which I'm listening to right now! ^^
Well... this is pretty boring isn't it.. well my life is boring.. anyway.. afterwards we went to Ikea and bought a flat, plate like vase. That's for my sister.. older.. who wanted to do some flower arranging, inspired by Hikaru no Go! -_-;;
After that we went to um.. Springvale which was boring because we only went there to buy some groceries and besides.. my sister and I stayed in the car...
Then we went to Gardenworld to find some fake flowers but we left empty handed and went to Bunnings Warehouse to find more fake flowers but my sister and I stayed in the car again..
That's about all that happened.. pretty boring.. well at least tomorrow my sister and I are going to go check out the BBQ places in Chelsea and Mentone for her friends.. they are going to have a picnic which I want to tag along to too.. -_-
Then on Wednesday.. I think my firneds and I are going to go to the city.. but it hasn't really been confirmed.. so.. unsure..
OMG.. I still haven't done any of my homework.. I really should be doing it.. and I've practised my violin once and I have a performance when we get back to school which I'm not going to be ready for unless I practise.. I think I'm going to stuff it up so badly..
Well that's about it.. so signing out!

Realisation

2004-09-13T13:58:00.000+10:00

I've just realised something... If I have a group blog and a normal blog.. a lot of the things that I post will be repetative...great... I don't know what to post..
Well if there is actually someone here who reads all my posts and does in fact want to keep up with everything.. (not that there probably is..) but you'll have to check both blogs..
hm.. let me think of something to talk about...
ok I really can't
Wait.. I think this is ok to talk about.. wel I just got my interm report and everyhting is consistently execpt 'contributes in class' for music.. that was usually.. but yea... my mum said.. "why are they all the same" and I'm like "iwhat do you expect?" I don't think that she understands what an interm report is.. last time my dad said.. they are only consistently.. and I said to him that that is the highest you can get.. and he's like how do you know.. I don't get why they can't understand... argh!! Well anyway.. my mum says that she wants to jog with me latter on.. I don't want to.. but I'm probably going to in the end..
Well at least this stuff hasn't been blogged yet..

Um.. oh and the group blog is at http://taag.blogspot.com
Check it out!!

Title finally

2004-09-12T16:10:00.000+10:00

I finally have a title!! Thing is, I've been wanting one for ages but I didn't know why it wouldn't appear... then I found the magic button!! Anyway! I've made a group blog for me and my friends. It's called TAAG cause in real life, our names start with those letters but on the net we are Nayru, Fujiko, Sunflower and Miki!! Anyway.. it's at http://taag.blogspot.com Check it out!! Adn remember to comment! Oh and it's only just started so Nayru and miki haven't joined yet..

2004-09-11T18:41:00.000+10:00

Well it's finally the holidays!! YAY!! Although like my friend kimo said.. it's not technically the holidays until monday so yea. Doens't matter though!

If your volume is turned on, you would have realised that there is now a radio blog!! It took me forever to get it to work but it's finally working! I'm so happy!

Oh I got an email saying that there was going to be a KGS pro lecturer.. too bad I'm in Australia and it's going to be on at um.. 4:00 in the morning!! How bad is that.. but I think I might be able to watch it! Especially cause I don't have to go school. Although I doubt my mum will let me..

I want people to post comments!! Kimo has only started her blog and I think more people are interested in it then in mine.. or maybe they can find it easier than mine.. upsetting.
Even though Kimo always mentions me... no one visits.. it's sad. I want to make friends!! Someone make friends with me.. ok .. some people have but I'm not a good person to make the first move for so.. someone want to become friends with me? lol..

It's just so lonely.. just wondering.. if anyone reads this.. when people have a friends list or buddies or whatever, are the friends there people you actually know.. or are they friends that you've met over the internet and gotten to know each other. cause I want my friends to make a blog but they can't be bothered... except now Nayru is deciding to make a blog, I think Kimo and I have successfully interested her.

Well that's all I feel like saying for now.. oh and if anyone knows a really good php hosting site, free, no ads and can upload more than 2mbs at a time.. tell me cause the radio blog is hosted on a site which I can't upload more than 2mbs and so most of my songs are more than 2mbs.. it's so annoying..
Well I guess I'm glad is worked in the end anyway..

Well that's about it.. bai bai

2004-09-09T20:28:00.000+10:00

Hm.. I'm back.. lol.. well I've made a new layout! I hope everyone likes it. This time the layout is slightly different... you've probably already noticed..
Normally I place hte picture at the top, have a side bar and context section.. this time the context section starts from the top and so does the side bar.. but I have two side bars..
You know.. the one on the left, it was added in after I foun that the spot there was too empty.. so I added it in.. ><

So.. as my little layout box to the right says, this layout features Mitsuki and Takuto. I got the picture from Aethereality and it's GREEN!!

So.. anyway.. school's almost over (well at least term 3), the next time I post, it will be. Tomorrow's the last day, too bad we don't finish early.

Today was a good day. I got my japanese re-test results back and I got 97%.. way better than last time, only 3 points off i think. I'm so happy... although.. my mistakes where really stupid. It's strange, the more we learn, the more stupid mistakes we seem to make. I think i've only ever once gotten 100% in a unit test for Japanese! In year 8 and that was when I found the test extremely difficult too.. the teacher setted it out very differently.

Oh, we also had PE today... we did tap dancing! YAY! Heaps of fun... sure..-_-
Anyway.. ok.. so it was fun.. not the best but it didn't make me annoyed or bored.. or anything bad so that was good. The day seemed to pass by so slowly though..

Lunchtime was fun! (and everyone says "of course, it's lunchtime) but it's different this time. We didn't do normal, boring, sit around stuff. This may sound immature and stupid but it's fun to release yourself sometimes and I think that's what did. Spent the whole lunchtime trying to step on Slinky's shoes cause she started it.. and pulling Solo's tie out from under her jumper.. cause she also started it. It was so much fun though.. it's like feeling young again.

Well anyway.. tomorrow's going to be good too.. other than the fact that we are going to have to finish that stupid english essay on Romeo and Juliet. Stupid.. the teacher was away and we had a substitue teacher on wednesday. She had been told to go to room F4 but we were in W8 so we waited for her, went to reception, waited again, went again and finally after 35min she came!! What a waste of time.. we have 75min to a period and 35min lost! We still had to do the essay though.. so we're going to make her give us more time tomorrow..
I want to complete it.. doens't mean I look forward to it though..

Well I think I've used up enough space.. cya.

2004-09-07T22:38:00.000+10:00

Hi all! I'm just trying something.. this had better work.
Might as well post something of use so that I don't waste this post.
Hm.. well tomorrow I have to write an essay for Romeo and Juliet. First period too. *groan*

But it's almost the holidays!! I'm so happy.. only three more days of school then three weeks homework.

It's really strange.. I've been tired the whole day but now .. at night.. sleeping time.. i'm not tired.. I think I've become nocturnal... not good.. -_-

What else is there to say... hm.. Oh I had the japanese re-test yesterday.. and I think I've done much better... although I can never be too sure..that's what I thought last time. got an even worse mark.

And let's see.. ah.. our school principal is leaving.. she's going to New Zealand to work there.. everyone is so happy... but I'm worried about what's going to happen after.. like who's taken over next.

Well I think this is enough.. cya.. wish me luck on my essay! ^^

2004-09-03T23:58:00.000+10:00

Well Hi people!! I haven't blogged in a while.. lol.... since manifest which was hm... 18 days ago i think. Well anyway... the weeks have been good but I still don't have any manifest photo's to show you... gotto finish the rest of the film first.
I think I want a digital camera.. so much easier.

Anyway... today was the last dancing lesson, after eight weeks... on Fridays. We had a party and ok.. it sounded like it should have been fun and I'm not denieing that it wasn't ... but it wasn't a party. It was dancing until normal finish time and then eating and talking, anything with friends for another hour basically. But I had fun because it was relaxing and there was food, it was that simple type of happiness. ^^

Oh and we had learned over those eight weeks the cha cha, merengue and the salsa. We even received a certificate just to show that we had done the course and new some basic 'street latin dance'.
Yea so..

Then after that, I had a music dinner! That was fun too... we had heaps of helium filled balloons and everyone tied them to their hair and one of my friends typed it to her small side plait and it reminded me of pippi longstockings (sp?). As in it was lifed up like a 'U' shape.
There were speeches about out senior music groups at school and heaps of food.. since it was a music DINNER.
Oh the food was from 'la Porchetta' (sp?) and it was delicious. We had lasagna, pasta and another type of pasta. And there was salad, drinks and then desert. For desert we had fruit and a type of cake with heaps of caffine. Oh and before that there were like snacks, you know crackers with dips, cheese and bread.
Ok.. maybe it doesn't sound like fun but I had fun because hm... actually I'm not too sure. Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so relaxing, friendly and heaps of jokes were made about teachers. XD

Well anyway I had fun.. and the balloon that I took home is still floating!
Oh and since the dinner ended at 8:30pm and school started today at 8:30am.. ok school always starts that early if what I said before made it sound like today was an exception. Anyway.. so 8:30am to 8:30pm and I didn't go home.. lol... I stayed at school for 12 hours straight!!! Half of my day!! XD

Oh.. on thursday we were told about work experience next year and I don't know what to do.. lol.. i'm going to turn 15 two days before we go on work experience so I'm only just of age!
Yea.. I want to work maybe at the melbourne symphony orchestra.. or an orchestra/symphony. Or maybe a computers place.. like graphic design. But basically... it's either music or computers.. or art I guess... cause of manga... but anyway.. I don't know.. and I haven't been bothered to check up on like companies and stuff so even though I know what fields I don't what places there are.. -_-;;

Anywa... I should get off now.. otherwise I won't get neough sleep... 12 hours at school can make people very tired..
*yawn*

ps.. you know.. I found it funnny that I got to change out of school uniform for the last dancing lesson but then I had to change back into school uniform for the music dinner... well CYA!! ^^

2004-08-15T21:26:00.000+10:00

It's the day of Manifest and I've had a whole day of fun! YAY!! ^^
We didn't do much today but I still had fun! Today, with me friends we did many things at manifest. First off we checked out the traders and other stuff to buy. Then we went to have lunch. On the way back.. we took some dream photos and that was fun. Then afterwards we got back to manifest and I took heaps of cosplay pictures.. and we watched ju jitsu and a gamecube competition. It was heaps of fun!! Um.. oh and we also got to play 'go'. LOL and we taught a friend of ours that didn't know about it yet. Oh it was also his birthday today as well!! Happy Birthday!!

Well I dunno.. everything seems hard to put into words but I had heaps of fun.
Next time, I want to cosplay!! That'd be so much fun.. I think I'll start making a costume as soon as possible!! ^^ Cause it'll take a while.. but first.. deciding on a character!

Well.. I shouldn't type for too long cause I still need to do my work.. and it's so late at night... need to memorise my japanese oral.. and study from history... -_-;;; left everything to the last minute...

Anywa.. should go.. cya... I'll post some pictures another day!!

2004-08-10T17:20:00.000+10:00

Hi! Haven't been bothered to blog for ages! School's been good, nothing too bad. Oh and there was that Piano performance that I had to make, at Principal's assembly. I worked so hard on that and everyone loved it... not that I was too convinced... hm.. but I've been slack since then. Not good at all... need to get myself to work more..

Hah.. in maths we are learning trigonometry. Fun! lol.. ok that was a joke. But I don't hate it... but then again.. I don't hate maths... -_-;;;

Today.. I played cards with my asian friends and i won twice...^^ We were playing thirteen and the last win was fantastic.. I had two combos and two single cards so it was great.

Man.. I wish I had a digital camera. Then when we go to Manifest this sunday.. I could post heaps of pictures!! Maybe I'll scan them... ^^? Anyway.. I dunno.. I can't wait for manifest.. it's going to be heaps of fun.. my first time at a anime convention. XD

hm.... oh... anyone interested in TCGs? Trading Card Games? THey are online versions and heaps of fun... please visit my site...

And join the sites.. and put me as your referrer...^^;;;

Anyway.. I think I'd better go do my homework now... btw.. I got 91% on my science test YAY!! Although I could have done slightly better... =_=;;

Cyaz

2004-07-13T22:17:00.001+10:00

I've finally started school, term 3, semester 2. I had fun today... so luck, we didn't get given any homework. We didn't do much today though. I played "go" with Toraiya in the library today, ha, i've finally found someone who knows how to play and wants to play, I also played against miki.. my strength in go is pretty weak, but I guess .. i'm stronger than them... -_-;; anyway...
What's funny is that tomorrow, i'm not going to go to school because I need to see the specialist doctor about my skin.. but I want to go... Does that sound strange to say?
Anyway.. yea.. it's because tomorrow we have challenge for life - the be real game and rock and water. Then after school we have badminton training.. so far it's my most favourite day in the week and I'm missing out... :(
Oh well.. yea.. so it's all good..
Well I'm going to go now.. *signing out ^^*

2004-07-08T15:07:00.001+10:00

Well as you can see... there is a new layout! YAY!!! It took me a few hours to make this and I really love it.. except for the right hand side... -_-
So this layout features Touya Akira and is very um.. purple.. ^^;;
I really love this picture so I just had to make it into a layout.
Well I hope you like it too. Hehe.. when I have time I'm going to be making a nother layout featuring Cooro from +Anima, I don't know which site I'll upload it onto though, so... that's it.

2004-07-07T16:04:00.000+10:00

Haven't updated in ages but here I am again. I've pulled out the carpet in my room the other day. Didn't want it because it's so much easier to clear just floorboards. And the day after that we went to the city.. didn't get anything though. -_-;;
Yea.. so life's been good. I should be practising my violin scales... I can't be bothered though.
Oh and my dad said to me that I might be able to go to Japan next year with the school.. i'm so happy... but I need to start working as soon as possible so that I can earn soome money, too bad I can't start until next feburary. Yea.. so I have a chance.. this is good.
Has anyone.. here visited my forum.. we decided to start roleplaying heaps of things now and it's working pretty well. Although sometimes it slows down heaps. I am really rambling here arn't I? Well I don't really know what to say even though I feel like there's heaps to talk about.
Oh my friend Nayru last night only just realised.. she said "Hey, roleplaying might improve our english." and I'm just like thinking thats what I thought ages ago... the whole reason why I wanted to start roleplaying so badly.
Well since I can't find anything else to talk about.. I guess I'd better stop.
Oh wait.. one more thing... I'm going to manifest on the 15th of August.. I can't wait.
It's my first time ever.. going to an anime convention. I want to buy heaps of stuff. lol.. well then cyaz. ^^

2004-06-27T20:10:00.000+10:00

I'm so happy. It's finally the holidays and I get two weeks off. Oh I think that I told you last time that I was going to see the Prisoner of Azkaban and it was really good. I think i'm back in a Harry Potter craze because on my forum we are having a Harry Potter RPG and I've started reading the books again. I wonder how long this stage is going to last.
Anyway.. yea so I've had a great start to my holidays because for house music, we won!!! YAY!!! St. Margarets won!!! For the singing ensemble we came in a draw with McCowan. But for the Instumental Ensemble and the Choir section we came first.. the judge even said that the most outstanding performance was "People Get Ready" which was out choir piece... I was so happy. Hehe we won last year too!! ^___^ Anyway.. I got to go now so cyaz all later!!! ^_________^

2004-06-20T12:17:00.001+10:00

Whoot!! I'm finally going to go see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I think that's how you spell it. ^^;; Anyway.. yea so I'll be seeing it today at 4:35pm... with all my friends.
You know.. at first my friend booked the tickets and I thought I couldn't go so she didn't get me any, so today in the morning, we went and tried to get seats next to them and YAY... we got them!!!
Yea, well I'm really happy about it. ^_____^
So, oh and yesterday... actually it was the day before, on the Friday, I saw my old school friends from when I was in year 4.. ages ago. Anyway and I was like.. omg it's "inserts name here" and she looked at me like I was a stranger. Then I'm like you know "inserts my name here" and I think she dd remember slightly... but she was cathcing a bus and it was about to leave so there wasn't anytime to talk. But yea and I haven't see her for like 5 years...
Whats funny was that I was feeling quite desperate for her to remember me... even though I don't think I liked my friends at my old school as much as at my new school.
Anyway... the badminton trials are starting soon... on Wednesday after school and Thursday at lunchtime... I can't wait. (The only sport I'm good at. ^____^)

2004-06-09T23:31:00.000+10:00

YAY!!! I've finally finished my Maths Challenge. Actually the only question I haven't done yet and don't plan on doing is the first one "Opal Mine" It's so annoying. Anyway, that's really all I wanted to say so cya. and Goodnight.

2004-06-07T19:46:00.000+10:00

Today I went to the city with my sister and two of my friends. I had so much fun, but we actually didn't do much except walk... and walk... and walk.
We went to China Town first and bought some pens for my sisters friend and I bought a replacement pen for the black one that wasn't working. After that we were walking along Swanston Street and came across a shop which has heaps of sticker photo taking machines so we decided to take a picture.
That was heaps of fun and very strange because all the options they had were new to me and one of my friends said "Ooh wind..." and without asking us she just clicked it so we had wind blowing as an effect which we didn't want. But it was so much fun, and so funny.
Anyway.. after that we went to Melbourne Central and we didn't do much there because it was being renovated (I think thats what it should be called) but we did buy some stuff to eat from Bread Top. After that we ended back outside on Swanston Street right across the road from the State Library and so because we'd never been in there before we wanted to see what it was like. Problme was that we didn't fit in... we looked like we were people who go shopping and everyone in there were probably university students working. So.. I felt really out of place and we left not quite long after.
Then we decided to go to Crown Casino and we didn't do much there either. We had lunch... I had okonomiyaki even though I didn't feel like eating and went to check out DDR afterwards. Stupid DDR machine... the keys were so stiff and they wouldn't let us play two players either... I kept getting misses because the keys acted like I hadn't pressed them even though I had. Anyway so after that we left Crown and decided to go to South Yarra.
So because on city week.. I had to do a trail of Southbank and the Crown Casino, I thought that I should know the place quite well and how to get back to Flinders Street Station easily so I lead. But... do you know what I did... I crossed the wrong bridge... we didn't get lost, just didn't end up right outside a tram stop like I was planning on. So eventually we figured out where we were in comparison to where I wanted to end up and turned right to get there. When we finally got on a tram to get to Flinders, my two friends and I tried to figure out this problem that they had on the ceiling of the tram... on of thos where they have a pattern on a 3D shape and they give to the opened up version of it. One of my friends said that it was answer B but my other friend said that it was A, I looked at A and couldn't be bothered to see wether it was right or not... I looked at al the rest and we kind of argued our way through saying, nup this one's not it, neither is this one and in the end we all decided that the correct answer was A.
Anwyay, so we got to South Yarra by train and went to look around. My sister showed me the shop full of manga and other japanese books and OMG there were so many different manga's like Hikaru no Go, Hunter X Hunter, Bleach, Fullmoon wo Sagashite, Prince of Tennis and etc... a lot that I loved. Anyway, we bought the may edition of the Ribon Magazine and went to look for a stationary shop so that we could by a 4-pen for Raphiela. After that we went to the Jam Factory... we didn't do much there because there wasn't anything to do.
So after a while of walking around without any ambition except to waste time... (we went in to a tea shop, a japanese shop with very cute things and a few other shops too)we finally decided that maybe we should go home... so we went back to South Yarra station and went to platform 6 which was supposed to have pakenham, canbourne and fankston lines and because we didn't want jong to get lost (she catches the frankston and the reat of us catch the pakenham or canbourne)... we decided to wait until her one came before we got on ours even though our one was coming first. So we waited to see which line would come next after Pakenham and it was the Cranbourne, then all of a sudden my sister says "doesn't that one over there on platform 4 say frankston" so we went over there to have a proper look.
It was frankston so we waited for that train to come, got jong on and then went back to platform 6 to catch the cranbourne train which was coming soon. When we got there we saw a friend of ours who goes to Melbourne High and tried to see if he could see us or not... but he didn't so my friend pranked him and it was really funny because we were like only 1.5 meters away from him. We saw him take his phone out... realise that it had stopped ringing, rang my friend back and still he couldn't see us. So we decided when the train came that we would get on the same carrige as him.
We did that and when the crowd spread out a bit he finally saw us.
And the conversation went kind of like this:
him: I called you
me: Yea, but she called you at the same time
him: So you were in the carriage
me: no, we were outside
him: where, i didn't see you
me: that's why we pranked you, to get your attention
him: oh... so you were at south yarra
me: yea...
him: why did you leave so early
me: oh.. we got bored
him: so what did you do in the city
me: walked...
him: and...
me: nothing much
and it kind of just kept going... It doesn't sound funny here but it was really funny then.
After that my sister and I got of at Springvale Station and suprisingly he did too. We talked a bit more about parents allowing us to talk to unknown boys.
Oh and on the train we told him that my sister was in VCE and he's like year 10? VCE!!! yeah well VCE can be year 10 right? Well she's in year 11.
He was really shocked I think because she didn't look the age. Then outside Springval Station he asked her so how are you going to get home... and i'm like we're sisters so we go home the same way... I think he got really confused.

Anyway after that I told my sister that he was in yr 9 and she freaked out too... anyway, so today has been a fantastic day and please don't comment on the fact that I wrote in so much detail about our conversation.

2004-06-06T20:01:00.000+10:00

Hey!!! I am so happy right now!!! Bouncy happy!!!
I don't have school tomorrow so my sister and I are going to go to the city tomorrow and two of my friends are coming too. I'm extremely happy.
Ureshi desu!!!

Anyway, that's about all that's made me happy today.... problem is that at the back of my mine I keep thinking about the maths challenge that I have to finish by Thursday... I'm so scared that I won't be able to finish it.
I should of worked on it today and now I feel so bad that I haven't. Actually I think I shall go work on it now so bye bye people.

Oyasuminasai!!! ^^

2004-06-04T19:11:00.000+10:00

It's almost the start of a new semester. We'll be starting it next Wednesday. YAY!!! Actually I shouldn't really be that happy because although I can finally change from doing civics and visual communication to music and problem solving. I didn't enjoy vis com at first but now I really like it because we are using... COMPUTERS!!! ^^ (Photoshop 7.0) I don't have it so ti's like my only chance of using it. The teachers don't let us into the computer labs at lunch or recess so I don't get any other chance to use it. Civics was ok. It was half bludge but I learnt some really interesting facts and I had fun. So now we are going to be starting Music and Problem Solving. Music I wasn't really looking forward to it because they have quite a bad outsiders view. It seems like it'll be boring, the only reason why I choose it was because I'm on a scholarship especially a music one so it's compulsory. Problem Solving is supposed to be a bludge too but it doesn't sound like it will be. Our teacher is also someone who really scares me. ^^;; so I'm kinda scared about spending 2 days out of week around 75min with him.
Anyway! Oh no!! I had something really interesting and good to talk about before, seems that I've forgotten. :(
Oh well this isn't what I was going to talk about but anyway, I got my liscense!! And no it's not a drivers liscense... I'm not old enough yet. ^^ It's a liscense to do resuscitation!!! Not that I ever want to do it on someone in realy life. It'd be too scary.
Do you realise that I'm typing more now. I think that I can finally feel like writing now. My mind has been set free. YAY.
Oh wait I remember now I don't have to go to school on Monday!!! YAY!! It's report writing day so I get the day off. My sister doesn't have to go to school either for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So she said how about we go to the city then and after city week I can't wait to go back to the city. It holds many memories for me now. I never used to like going to the city. Did I ever talk about city week? Oh well!!
Well I've written much more than I have in the past few months I think but it's all good. I feel better about it too. But I think that I should stop typing now and move onto something else.
Oh and one more thing to celebrate. For my maths semester exam I only got one mark taken off. It's not fair. Only because I didn't round off to the nearest km. And for my maths semester extended exam I got two marks taken off, I'm not that upset as I was with the other one thought because these weren't stupid mistakes that are made when not reading the questions properly, it's just not knowing how to do it properly. I got 21 out of 23. Pretty Good. Actually many people would say "That's so good, you shouldn't be complaining" But how can you not, doesn't everyone always want to get 100% on tests? And One more thing to do with maths. We had to do a problem solving task and I got fuoll marks!!!! YAY!!!! 18/18!!!
Anyway I really should stop now. I feel so much better now that I've released a bit of whats in my mind. ^^

2004-05-27T20:37:00.000+10:00

YAY! Finally a new layout! I'm so happy about this one. It features Komatsu Ayaka who is a model in Japan. She also stars in PGSM - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon as Sailor Venus, Sailor V and Aino Minako who are all in fact the same person. ^^

I made htis layout with photoshop 5.5 it's a very old version but i'm so happy that i finally have a version of photoshop to use.

I've been very busy lately and today i had a Maths Exam. I'm in a rush so I should stop now. I haven't written much but what can you do? So Bye.

2004-05-22T11:20:00.000+10:00

Hey everyone!!
Sorry for not poasting for so long but i never felt like it and didn't realy have much time anyway. I've been busy with my school work and other sites ^^;;
well I don't really know what to write here but just needed to sho that my blog is still alive.
well if I think of anything to write about I will but until then cya.

2004-05-08T17:32:00.000+10:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been quite busy but guess what, yesterday was my birthday. YAY!!!
I haven't got many presents yet but I've had fun this week because we spent the whole week in the city so that we could learn new stuff. We went to places like the magistrates court and parliament house. We went down the Yarra on a Yarra cruise and did heaps of other stuff, but I didn't get a chance to go shopping and buy stuff. I still had heaps of fun though. Oh and I've joined many TCG's these past few weeks and I joined Gaia which is a forum but it's the biggest RPG forum ever. It's really cool and I think that you should all check it out. http://www.go-gaia.com Remember that if you ever sign up, put Akino Fujiko as your referrer and I'll also be glad to help out if you need anything other than the fact that I don't know much myself either. ^^;; Anyway, so I've had a great time and all and I want to thank everyone for coming here so often that I now have 300 and something hits. Thank-you soo all very much.

2004-04-19T10:04:00.000+10:00

i decided i should blog again, i actually have so much to say but can't be bothered to say it all.
well first of all yesterday we went to the temple near emeralde and we collected some type of nut which i've already forgotten the name of... hang on a sec chestnuts thats it and after that we played around with the cows on the other side. And btw this is with my sister and cousins.
Later we had fish and chips and they came over to our house and stayed for dinner.
Everyone's going to school today but I don't have to. hehe

Something just made a strange noise , seemed like it was coming from my speaker, strange...

Oh I also joined more TCG's , now the ones that i'm involved in are: Platinum, BTS, Egaku, Euphoria, Karaoke Kards, Colour Collection, yep that's it.

ah don't know what to say, had so much to say the other day... oh you know i had a dream the other day about an evil person wipping away everyone's memory about the ones that they loved and knew, but for some strange reason I was unaffected, i think it's because I fainted or was unconsious at that time so it didn't affect me. Strange ne? Anyway and so for some reason i'm not sad at all and instead I go around trying to become friends with the people who were once my friends but had forgotten I don't know where the evil went but that's how my dream ended.

2004-04-14T20:35:00.000+10:00

I'm back!!!
I'm finally home in Melbourne. Well as you know, I went to Canberra for the holidays and we spent 5 days there. Two of them which we went to see Sydney. It was so much fun.
Our cousins brought us (my sister and I) ice skating and amazingly I can still skate backwards even though I haven't practiced since December.
I also got to watch the extended (special) DVD version of Pirates of the Caribbean because my cousins own one. It's so funny what some of them say. Oh and I also watched Lord of the Rings the Two Towers but we didn't get to finish it. :(
We didn't really do much in Canberra for the first two days.
Then after that we went to Sydney and luckily our uncle came with us so that he could show us around.
The first thing we did when we got there was go to a Chinese bookshop in China Town and we bought Bleach vol 6 and 7 so we are now trying to read it because it's in Chinese and it's not that easy to understand.
The next day we went to the Art Museum and looked at the Chinese paintings of mountains and stuff, we also looked at some Japanese art and a lot of oil pantings when were magnificent. After all that we went back to China town, thing is we walked there and that was like 40 min walk becaused we'd already payed a flat rate of $16 for the carpark. On our way to China town, I fell in love with a pathway we were walking in because it was straight and on both sides were green trees which bent over towards to center of the path above and joined. THere were also lamposts along side the trees. It was so beautiful.
.._________
/.o.../..\...o.\
|..|./.....\..|..|
|.../........\...|

Well if that little diagram helps to understand what I mean. XD Middle is path, the little line with o above it is the lamp posts and the other lines are suposed to the the trees.

Anyway it was very beautiful and when we were in China town, I found the Hikaru no Go DVD, the whole series!!! I want!!!! The fasion in Sydney is also very up to date unlike Melbourne. We saw so many different types of clothing which we the same as the ones in Japan!! Like plated mini skirts which look like school uniforms.

The next day we were back in Canberra and we went to Civic, I think that's how you spell it but yea, it's a Shopping Center in Canberra. Anyway, we went to a shop called Socrates and we found a go board, we got the magnetic one because it was check and it was still good quality. So happy!!!! ^_^
We also saw music boxes, you know the ones that have a handle which you wind and as you wind it plays music, not the ones that you wind and leave there then it plays music for a certain time. But the point was that we don't have those in Melbourne.
We also went to see a shop which had anime and manga but I discovered that it doesn't have as much as borders other than the fact that it has anime and borders doesn't. My cousin bought the CCS second season last book and it's so nicly decorated, as in the front page and back page.

So altogether it was so much fun. I had so much fun I didn't even want to leave.
I also recieved a lot of emails about joining TCG's and I want to make one too!!! about Sailormoon Live Action Show.

anyway, got to go do something else, so cya.

2004-04-04T18:36:00.000+10:00

Hi, decided to post again. You know what? Yesterday I went to the flower show and it was so cool. The flower designs were so pretty and altogether I just had a great night.
But you know what made my day? I got to watch the Melbourne String Ensemble play because they were performing there and they played many pieces which I knew so that was good to know. But then again it was probably only so that everyone knew what pieces they were playing but it was great. Their skills were awesome.
Well at the moment I'm at my cousins house. I'm so bored so I decided to post. Yeah anyway my cousin told me to say that they straightened my hair and it's sooooo straight and nice now. It's true though, I think it's so nice, I don't really want to say beautiful but it feels so straight. Anyway, I haven't really got much else to say so...

2004-03-30T18:25:00.000+10:00

guess what, I got a B in my english essay, I'm really happy but obviously i'm trying to get at least an A. Anyway we also only have 3 more days of school, yay!!! Then it's holidays.
BTW i've just recently made a forum and I'm trying to get some members so if you happen to read this, please check it out. It's still being played around with and the name is not what it's going to be but come and post anyway!!! Well then here's the URL http://fujiko07.proboards24.com
And if you enjoy it there or know people who will enjoy it there then please invite then to join too. ^____________^ .

Anyway, oh no do you know what, I've lost my school blazer, I think I left it on the bus but I'm in so much trouble. Luckly our school has a new uniform now so I have another excuse to get a new blazer and more like the whole uniform.

So anyway, remember to check out the forum and give some feedback!!! Have fun!!!

2004-03-27T14:54:00.000+11:00

hi!!!
I'm finally back from camp and I'm so tired!!!
I'm aching everywhere, especially my back. Guess what, we had to hike around 20km, it was so tiring. Like we had our packs and everything we needed for the week with us but strangly enough, I was really against it when I was there but just as we got on the bus to get back I felt like I was going to miss camp. Now I'm just happy to have my bed, toilet, running water, clean clothes and especially computer with internet back. Well, I'll post more later but I just decided to post this to make sure people don't think that I'd disappeared cause I'm BACK!!! ^^

2004-03-19T22:39:00.000+11:00

I just felt like posting this. The results from an IQ test that I just did:

RESULTS:

just came back from our school fete. Ok well i didn't just come back, i'd come back like 1 and a half hours ago. Anyway, we (my friends and I) went on the cha cha first, that was so much fun being my first time on it ever. Then we went on the dogem cars, oh and before that we had our dinner. Anyway after the dogem cars we wandered around and I bought a slurpie and my friend decided to buy the same thing even though she didn't know what it was. We ate fairy floss and drank sugary stuff and got all high. To bad it didn't last long. Only for a few minutes. Anyway, I had such a great time. So much fun!!! ^^
Oh I'm so relieved, on thursday we had an english essay and a japanese unit test and that's all over now, oh and today we had a maths test and the teacher wouldn't let me hand it in 45mins early (btw we have 75 in lessons), she told me to check it again and eventually I decided that I couldn't be bothered to try handing it in and instead played on my calculator until someone else gave there's in which was like 15 mins later.
Anyway the fete was great fun and I'm so happy, we finally found out who's in our camp groups, I have a great group, I'm sooooo happy, but I don't know who the teacher is, people say that she's a student from our school who graduated 4 years ago, but someone else said that she's not too nice.
Anyway, hope for the best, try to have fun and all should go well.
So, I won't be blogging from 22-26, so cya after 26!!! ^^

2004-03-16T18:22:00.000+11:00

Oh yea, and I forgot to say, thank you for so many hits today!!!! 25 unique in one day, thanks sooo much!!!

Yay, I just got accepted to become a official quilting bee member and received my member number #115.
I also received an email from a member of the star jar to trade, it's my first trade, I'm soooo happy.
But I'd better stop hanging around on the net, I should seriously do my homework, actually it's more studying because on Thursday I have an English assignment to write on Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta, and a Japanese Unit Test, then on Friday, I've got a maths test, an the Friday night fiesta, our school fate afterwards, which I'm busking in (because the teacher asked me to). Then after that, the next week, it's camp, did I mention that we aren't going in canoes anymore because the Mitchell River hasn't got enough water in it, so we are going to use a lilo instead which I think is supposed to be a inflatable mattress.
Anyway, got so much to do, and so little time, (cause I left everything to the last minute) so got to start working on it.

2004-03-13T18:22:00.000+11:00

New layout!!! ^^
I knew I couldn't stand to keep the other one up for too long.
Layout is a different style now, enjoy it.

2004-03-13T14:39:00.000+11:00

guess what, i have 130 posts on toriyamaworld now, yay. (I don't know why i just said that, but it's true ^^)
i don't really know what to post, but i feel like posting. oh i know, I'm going to camp in two weeks.
We're going for a week and it's a survival camp where you have no toilet or showers. We're going to Mitchell river (can't spell). I can't wait, but I'm also scared that i'll forget to bring something or bring the wrong thing. Too many worries, but I know that if things go right, I'll have a great, fantastic time. YAY.
My friend's also going to camp but she goes next week because she's one year higher than me, she's going to go to a normal camp for once, which i cna't wait to go to and it's were all you do is go scuba diving, snorkeling, horse riding, sailing and water activities. No more sleep in a tent thing. ^^
ANyway, today I had to wake up early and go play piano at the scholarships and i had to get there even earlier than going to school, and hello, this was on a Saturday. But I had fun, didn't last long but yea, it was good, we got given smarties. ^_^. My tongue and lips turned blue after eating them.

2004-03-08T13:12:00.000+11:00

NO SCHOOL TODAY!!!!! ^^
YAY!!!
because it's labour day!!!

i'm so happy, but i should actually be doing my homework right now, got heaps to do.
it's also the moomba waterfest this week but i'm not going to that. :(
but you know what? I was going to go see the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra play on saturday but everyone was busy so I didn't get the chance to go. Our school's clarinet and cello players play in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra so that was another reason why i wanted to see it.

Anyway, I went to my cousins house yesterday and we were on the net when on of her friends got on msn and i discovered that she loves "naruto", i got so excited because I don't know anyone in melbourne who likes naruto, finally i have someone to talk to. Even my friends are only interested in DragonballZ and won't take the time to watch or read naruto. So anyway I was soooo happy. XD

She got off arfter a while and my cousin and I where so bored that we decided to go on neopets, we ended up playing a lot of games trying to gain money. lol
I was sooo bored, anyway, i should stop now, shouldn't I?
well anyway, cya 'round.

2004-03-02T19:41:00.000+11:00

I'm back, I haven't posted in a while but guess what, I've got a new layout for the start of Autumn. YAY
I've also joined Naruto Eternity RPG and because I've never in fact done it before I'm a bit scared, well wish me luck that I can soon get the hang of it.

OMG you know today was sooo hot and we had the house swimming carnival too. *sigh*
I wasn't in any events but still sitting in the sun is just stupid, especially sitting there for at least 3 hours. :(
It was actually a little bit shady where we were sitting but it was still so hot and did you know that tomorrow's going to be 36 degrees. Even worse. :(

Guess what, today I finally saw a tablet, you know those things to draw directly onto the computer with. I was so happy and I also found out the in Visual Communication we get to learn how to use it ^^
We also used photoshop 7.0 today but we didn't have enoigh computers so we had to share, darn, but it was still so much fun, and I finally had a good vis com lesson. ^^

Anyway, I've got to put the new layout up so got to go. Cya ^_^

2004-02-22T14:13:00.000+11:00

I finally have a new speaker, before, i was using a really old one and at night it would make buzzing noises but now i finally have a good and new one. I also got a new mouse with the side buttons to go back and forward. I'm so happy, the only thing that isn't totally new is my screen, but thats already very good quality.
Our school's japanese sister school is coming in july and we were asked if we wanted to host them, I really want to host someone especially cause they are 14 to 16 years old, it'd be so cool. But I don't think I'd be allowed to because then they either share a room with me or I share a room with my sister. We've already hosted someone before, my sister's friends maki but she wasted a lot of our money. But this time it's only for two weeks, it's not that long is it?
I wanted to talk to them about anime and manga, i'm really obsessed, i don't even know how obsessed people are over there, they'll probably never get as obsessed as me. lol.
well, i don't really have much else to talk about, just felt like posting. hehe ^^;

2004-02-19T18:41:00.000+11:00

Today in visual communication we drew fruit and I discovered that I really don't like visual communication and I'd rather draw. Not paint or anything else, just draw with a pencil and shade. It's good that for once I actually now what I want, it doesn't happen often, anyway that ended the day for me really well, cause normally I come out of vis com unhappy but this time it was like, YAY ^^.

Anyway, today I also had my first violin lesson with my new violin teacher, now that's the 3rd one. I don't think I like her much, it might take me a while to get use to her, she treats people kind of like a child and I though it was because I looked so little but she did the same to a friend of mine.
It's already hard to change to a new teacher but I also had to change piano teachers too :( waaaa waaaa.

Other than all those things my day was fine. Oh yeah almost forgot, today I had to perform in performance assembly in orchestra. I didn't even know about it until today because I didn't go to the Tuesday rehearsal. Luck for me the piece was easy so I played it through once before assembly and then the second time for the actual performance, so practically I was sight reading, how about that??? I was so scared, luck for me I didn't really make any mistakes, I was most scared that someone would see a mistake. Oh well! *sigh*

You know what, our orchestra is very small, espicially today when we performed, we only had two first violins, three second violins, a viola and two cellos. Normally we have an extra cello, an extra viola player, another second violin player and i think two more first violins. it's still small though.

oh yea and I just wanted to tell ya that I'm planning to change layouts once every month or two months. yea well thats kinda all. *thinks to herself* maybe I should make a past layouts page, that'd be fun.

2004-02-17T21:38:00.000+11:00

The year sevens are finally on camp, YAY, no more "sam" to annoy me for a few days. Oh well it's worth it. ^^.
It's really strange, I feel like I'm getting a lot of homework but I haven't been doing much lately yet everything is working out fine. This blog is bad influence, I can't but think of how I could improve it or other layouts and stuff, instead of doing my homework.
I have a new piano teacher, again -_-;; She's my 8th piano teacher, i've also had 5 theory teachers and 3 violin teachers. I have a lot of teachers ^^;;

Does anyone want to see a duck I drew.... well here it is anyway...

Well I just put up my feelings section under the currents.

And in the last post a few minutes ago I forgot to say something so here goes
Happy Valentines Day!!!

I didn't do anything for it today becuase I'm not interested, but I decided to say that just for the sake of it. Besides how could I not, people will think I forgot :P

2004-02-14T22:40:00.000+11:00

Yay my first layout is done and uploaded. I did this layout only using paint!!! I planned on using Photoshop but that's on my sisters computer and I really wanted to make a layout so I did it on paint. I didn't expect it to look so good. I'm so happy ^_^. So now my blog is finally all mine with out other's layouts and names. My blog is now called {ALV} Forever Dreaming.
I was making this layout yesterday and when I was working on the div tables I couldn't figure out why the secound table was always below the first one and only today did I realise that I had forgotten to close the first div table -_-;;;

Anyway, today was a really hot day, I think it reached 40 degrees, not sure thoug. I spent the whole day watching tv, a chinese show called The King Of Yesterday and Tomorrow. It's about a girl who tries to kill the emperor and chases him out to the sea where a big tornado stikes up and sends them both to the year 2003 and then everything happens from there.
I finished watching it today but I didn't like the ending. Have you ever felt like the story gets to a point where it has to end but doesn't end well enough to satisfy you. Well thats what I felt like but that's probably only because I wanted other stuff to happen that didn't happen.

Oh no! I just realised that I haven't put in the feelings section on my blog, well I'm going to do that right now so better get going!

2004-02-11T22:47:00.000+11:00

I feel like crap, just had an argument with my parents because I told them about how a girl on the bus called Sam puts her bag on another chair on the bus. I was really annoyed so I told her to move her bag and she started telling me that SHE'S sick of ME!!! I mean I was the one sick of her for years and she was the one trying to be annoying. Anyway, so I told my sister that and she starts screaming at me and telling me "you should of done this or done that" and so my parents found out and my dad has a bad temper so he started blabbing about the fact that at home I'm always so mean and scream a lot but I'm too scared to do it at school. So then we start screaming at each other, :( why must we always get into arguments?

So yea, so right now I feel like crap and I'm hoping that I'll actually remember my Japanese vocab words I had to learn for tommorrow (don't know wether it's gone into my long term memory yet) ^^.

Anyway, I'd better go or else I won't get enough sleep and my mum will kill me ^^;
Some how I feel righting this has made me feel a bit better, maybe calmer but still thoughtful and reflective or more like dreamy or out of it.

Oh, one more thing, just so that you know, I'm planning on making my own layout coz I've done it once before and I can do it again, besides I want to have my own special touch on it. Anyway Cya

2004-02-10T13:22:00.000+11:00

Yep, I'm at school right now. I'm having lunch but i felt like udating now as I won't have time to do it later at home. I'm soo tired and all my muscles hurt from playing badminton yesterday.
I'm having english next and I had to finish of my homework just before. (I didn't do it yesterday ^^;)
Well, I don't really have much to say, so cya

2004-02-09T18:10:00.000+11:00

Just finished watching the news and found out clearly about the free trade with America, that's such a bad idea, isn't it bad for us to be doing that because that way more stuff we buy is American. (Does that mean buying stuff from Borders as in manga will be cheaper? ^^;)
Anyway, today was quite a good day, I had for PE for first period and we did badminton, YAY!!! My favorite sport, had a lot of fun other than the fact that Mr Z... didn't teach us the rules so we ended up playing a competition with no rules, bugs me heaps when others don't know the rules.
Period 2 we had Japanese, another fantastic subject, supposedly, my sensei said that I should be able to speak Japanese ok by year 12 *sighs in relief*. We had a katakana revision test and another test on vocab coming up on Thursday. Last two periods I had English and Geography, English was fun but geography kinda dragged *sigh*, we were just working on our project that we received last week (first week of term 1). Anywayz if you thinking we only have 4 periods, well you're right, we do only have 4 periods which are 75 mins long. ^^

Anyway, we also have a house meeting today, sigh, we're doing to be doing house swimming soon, I'm never in any events so it's normally quite a boring day, we're also going to be doing house dance, and I can't dance, well we don't have to dance we can organise stuff or work behind scenes but still, right now I really can't be bothered. I'm very depressed aren't I? Well sorry. **

Sorry bought the rambling, well isn't that what a blog's for, anyway, gotta do my homework, not much time for this so I'd better get off. CYAz ^_^

2004-02-08T20:47:00.000+11:00

Yay, finally my brain turn around to see what I was doing wrong when using blogger. I've finally fixed up my site so that I can post easily YAY^_^.
So now my blog's URL has changed, (will get rid of old one).
I'm actually supposed to be folding clothes and washing the dishes right now but i didn't want my brain t turn of again, so i fixxed this up instead. Well because I'm already late in doing what i was supposed to do, I'd better get of, so now everyone can look forward to more updates more often. Well anyway Cyaz^^
