We went to a friend's house today to return the cardboard boxes we borrowed from them. They have a kid who's in grade eight who I've known since I was five. We weren't planning to stay there very long, but we ended up staying there until 11pm =] My friend showed me some games on his ipod, and played Stratego (that board game thats all about strategy and the objective is to capture the opponent's flag). I was losing at the beginning since I'm not all that bright when it comes to strategy games (that's why I don't try versing anyone in chess either -___-). I went to the bathroom during the game, and when I came back, my dad took over playing my side of the game, and eventually won for me =D so basically I won... heehee.

I went to play badminton with Judy and Sharon today. I haven't played badminton for about two years now, and I realized I'm not as bad as I thought I would be =D

I also went to watch the Caucasian chalk circle. The acting was good... but some parts were really awkward....

there was some miscommunication with my parents, and they thought I would be home by 8pm, but the play actually ended at 9:40pm and I got home at 10......

T3B54

I'm going to see the churchill play tomorrow with some of my friends. Apparently it's really good so I'm excited =D

So today I went to school early... to find that it was raining, and my socks were soaked before I got to the school... so the exercise plan didn't exactly go as... planned. So I went to the library, to find that I forgot my go card at home so I just flipped through some interesting looking books and left.

T3B53

Going to wake up early tomorrow to jog with Laurie, even though I'm 50% sure she's not going to come at all or on time =___= But knowing I might keep someone else waiting keeps me from sleeping in =]

Computer... is so... annoying.... omy gosh the internet connection keeps on going on and off! Like now... it can't seem to save my blog >=[

Ok now it's working

T3B52

My dad finally installed the desktop computer.

I'm ashamed to say I chickened out of running today. The bed just seemed so much more welcoming that I woke up, went to the bathroom, and went back to sleep... and when I woke up again it was 7:45 =__=

I will try again tomorrow...

T3B51

Today my mom stayed at home and did more cleaning and organizing.

My grandma is returning to China today (well more accurately saying tomorrow at 1 am) =[ my mom doesn't have time to make chicken soup for me... sad.

I think I'll try to wake up early tomorrow to jog by myself (if I can't contact anyone today) because I really need training and I've been slacking off at track practices... =.=|'' not practicing long distance running but short distance and discus =D But I might not make it out the door before 7:45 tomorrow so I can't promise that I will be getting anymore fit before eliminations ^-^

T3B50

Ah my dad finally got the computers out and the wifi set. My dad is giving me his small laptop (he has a bigger one) to use in my room since he doesn't want to put that big desktop in my room. Well I have to say I'm glad to own a laptop, but this one is painfully slow =___= It took forever to even load google o_o

Yesterday my uncle came to help with the moving (we spent all day with moving.... it was sooo tiring) and brought along my two cousins. I took the older one of the cousins to our school track cuz he wanted to run and I thought I needed exercise too (I know that's kind of weird...). After I jogged a few laps and made him do suicides (running lines back and forth... not literally suicides =] we headed home, and I actually found myself walking towards my old highrise -___- this is going to be a hard habit to break...

T3B49

I didn't get to go and play basketball with people =[ We spent the whole day packing stuff into boxes, and moving bags and bags of stuff to the new place.

I won't get to write my blog later on. My dad is getting ready to pack the computer. So I guess the next time I blog I'll be at the new apartment =D

T3B48

This morning my relay team (except for Allison) practiced passing batons at the track. I'm not used to passing, only receiving, because I'm usually the fourth person. Because of this, I almost ran in to Allison yesterday at the meet when I passed.

I came back just an hour ago from our newly bought apartment. I was helping my dad with painting the walls. It was fun =D We're starting to pack everything up for moving starting tomorrow, and then all the big stuff will get moved on Saturday. Because of this I probably can't go to play basketball with my friends =[ But maybe.... maybe my parents will let me off for an hour or two...

T3B47

I'm happy from the track meet! Our relay team (4x100) got second in our heat, almost first. I was the third runner, and I actually passed three or four people to get our team to second (and for that I actually got a compliment from Jacob o.o) =D And if it weren't for a bad pass made by me to allison, we might have gotten first =___=

That is why we are going to practice passing tomorrow morning at 7:45 am =D

T3B46

Ah haven't been blogging these past few days...

Well today I finally finished my competitions for the Kiwanis Music Festival. Sigh... I had to miss my math class yesterday, which was when we had a partner quiz.... so now I have to make up a quiz without a partner, and what's worse is that there's a test tomorrow, and even worse is I have to leave early from math again tomorrow with an ED for track and field............

T3B45

Today was the Sun Run! Due to me never having to run it before, I don't have experience of exactly how long it feels like to run it. At the beginning, I thought I was going to tire out so I went super slow, but I saw some churchill people passing me, so I thought I should start going faster. Also, someone tripped me along the way -___- and their shoe left a cut on my leg... In the end, I didn't know when to start sprinting, so when I saw the finish line there wasn't much of a distance left for me to sprint anymore o.o ............................ so anyways, my time was 58 minutes, which I guess, isn't all that bad but I'm pretty sure I could have done better...

T3B44

On Friday, I went to hang out with some of my friends, and Vivian was there too!!! Yes, the former synergizer =D She came here to visit during her spring break. I have to say she didn't change much =] except for the fact that I'm now as tall as her 8D

T3B43

Sigh... sad... I was so sore from track yesterday, but yet it was me who had to retrieve ALL the soccer balls that went out of bound for our team... some people are just too lazy to move... I felt like I just ran another kilometer...

T3B42

I feel I've slightly redeemed myself today at the track meet =] According to Sharon I was fifth or sixth in 1500m (I sort of doubt it though...) but I still have a lot to improve on. I improved 10 seconds faster from the last meet, but still ten seconds slower than my best time last year... man I suck. But I got second in the 100m race! At least I know I'm starting to fight back! I really hope to see my time for that though. I don't want to be happy just because I was racing people relatively slow people. and by the way... what does KOTW mean?

T3B41

Yesterday's track meet was okay... Our 4 by 100 team got 3rd, or in other words, last, because there were only three teams in our heat... I swear I tried my best to catch up in the end, it was close too... Ah well. In discus I beat my best distance from last year by four meters so that's good, but I'm still far from the others.

T3B40

I'm getting the hang of using blocks and spikes for sprinting =D That's what I mainly practiced today. Hopefully our group does well tomorrow, but to tell the truth, our relay team isn't made of the fastest of people... But it's okay! We'll run it for fun!

T3B39

Today my English group met... well only the girls... Me, Angel, Allison, and Sharon met at Angel's place, but the other two guys didn't show up... For the play, I'm supposed to be Lysander (who is a guy...), and say those cheezy lines to Hermia and Helena... gosh I can't keep a straight face XD

T3B38

Yesterday my parents spent most of their day at our newly bought apartment probably cleaning and getting ready to paint the walls. My room at that place is considerably smaller than the apartment we are renting now, but the bathrooms are considerably bigger o.O The bathroom near my room is about two times larger than the bathroom we have now... I think it's somewhat of a waste of space...

T3B37

I just realized my violin contest is in about a week! I am sooo not ready... I have to remember to get my friend a birthday present on the weekend... I'm too tired to think of anything else to write about right now....

T3B36

TRACK. WAS. BAD. For 1500m, I didn't have any energy left to sprint to the finish (I think I got 8th or 9th out of around... 12 or 15 people?), and afterwards I almost puked -___- . Because I was too tired, I couldn't run the 4 by 400m relay. Then afterwards, for the 100m, I got last place! I couldn't believe it! That's the first last place I've gotten for running, since I could remember! Ahhh what happened to me =[ I've made up my mind to start training from now on! And I'm dragging Laurie along with me =D

T3B35

I think I posted about Ray before, but I'm pretty sure I got it wrong... So the connection... was it something about how celebrities still have problems with drugs today? I don't really know how to elaborate on that connection though... what I thought about the movie, was that Ray kept on quitting work places because they weren't giving him adequet pay... I'm not sure how that relates to anything, but most people should be afraid of losing their jobs, but Ray seemed pretty confident that he would find a better band to join after he quits his last one... well it's probably he knows he has talent.

T3B34

Aaah tomorrow is the first track meet of the season, and I am nooot prepared! Tomorrow I have 1500m first thing and then 1 by 400m right after, and a little while later, 100m sprints! Yea I survived this last year, but looking on my physical condition right now....nah. I couldn't even survive the long distance training our track coach told us to do (well I guess it was partly because of a cramp and partly I sprinted 3 laps for warm up in PE...cuz I thought I needed practice). Plus with all that training done today, everybody is bound to be the least bit sore tomorrow...

T3B32

Today I went to the dentist to do a check up and clean teeth, and I found out I had two cavities D= I guess I've got to spend more time brushing my teeth... I should learn from Laurie =D she spends about an hour brushing teeth everyday!

T3B31

Today my knees hurt in the first bit of running in track and PE, which just proves how unfit I am right now... In track, I signed up for 1500m again, and also 100m, which is right after 1500 in the order of events. Hope I survive =S

T3B30

I filled out my Pre-IB form today. Honestly I'm a little scared.... I'm pretty bad at handling pressure, and I haven't gotten rid of my last minute habit yet. Aiya even my drawing teacher noticed I got tanned -____-. Also, my skin's been kind of dry probably because of the sun in San Diego. The performances were all out doors, so we had to sit underneath the intense beams of sun light. Today, I also realized handwriting doesn't seem so natural any more, because I haven't been writing anything on my trip... this is probably why I dislike travelling... But it was a very rewarding experience =D ---------------------and for some reason blogger won't let me use enter and write a new paragraph o.o

T3B29

Annd.... today we got on to the plane back to seattle, and drove back to vancouver. And now I'm super tired and just realized Spring Break is a day from ending and I'm about to go stress out now..........................................

T3B28

Yesterday, we went for a drive through Yosemite National Park. The view was awesome there! I took a lot of pictures... and got my shoes soaked of melted snow =D except it stank -____-

T3B27

Ahh finally home sweet home... just got back from the US Catching up on blogs again. So the day before yesterday was when we started driving back towards Canada. Nothing special, just a long drive...
